We constantly hear about the ills of fossil fuels – they pollute the environment, are costly to extract and refine, and at the rate we’re using them – they might run out in our lifetime. Now, however, other alternative fuels have been surfacing, there are cars that run on air, vegetable oil, algea, hydrogen, electricity or corn! Yet now, the people at QUANT have developed a sports-car that runs on sea-water! (and since our planet’s surface is over 70% water, it should last us for quite a while).
Meet the Quant e-Sportlimousine: |
The e-Sportlimousine was unveiled on March, 2014, at the Geneva Car Show. |
This 4-seater can go from 0-60 mph (0-100 kmh) in 2.8 seconds, has 920 hp, and can reach top speeds of 236 mph (380 kmh), reach a distance of 370 mi (600 km) on one tank. |
It has luxurious interior design, a sleek and sporty build and can even be controlled from your smartphone! |
The unique power-source, the NanoFlowCell™, produces practically no polluting emissions and thanks to the car's electric motor, it’s amazingly quiet! |
Specification Sheet |
As of Spetember 2014, the e-Sportlimousine has been approved for road testing in Germany and the European Union. Images courtesy of Quant |
