Koenigsegg Quant: Harness The Sun

The Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg unveils the Quant at the Geneva Motor Show, a solar-electric supercar that will be in production sometime soon. Forget about your carbon footprint when this car goes out since it won’t have your traditional internal combustion engine. Instead, two electric motors with 512 brake horsepower pumping out 715 Nm of torque powers the car to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds. That’s lightning-quick, considering the car has four seats, ABS, onboard entertainment, and six “smart” airbags. Long-range, deep-cycle batteries will be providing the juice for this supercar and charging them will take just 20 minutes. The car’s also covered with photovoltaic coating, another term for solar charger, to maximize your enjoyment especially when the sun’s out. If this is the future of supercars, then we won’t have to worry. $TBA.

Tramontana R: Road-Going Fighter Plane

Normally, you’d associate Spain with bullfighters and their habit of taking far too many siestas. In the world of supercars, Spain would be last on your list that will include Italy, Germany, or Britain. Well, scrap your list with the introduction of the Tramontana R, the Spanish interpretation of what a super car must look like. They’ve made the unlikely marriage between a car and a fighter jet, with the seating configuration of the car that has the driver in front and his passenger directly behind him. Powering this toro is a turbocharged Mercedes-Benz V12 delivering 710 horses of power that goes from rest to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds. Stopping is provided by large Brembo carbon-ceramic discs and the ride floats on Ohlins fully-customizable suspensions. Only 12 of these will be made each year and no, it won’t come with machine guns or missiles. $500,000.
