Quant at 2015 Geneva Auto Show
Boxsterra - 9 years ago

Quant "unvailed" two cars with impressive (read: unbelievable) claims. They run on electricity generated from an electrolyte solution (a "NanoFlowcell"), which is refilled like regular gasoline. They say existing gas pumps can be retrofitted to deliver their solution. The car takes 66 gallons (!) of gas, hence its heavy weight.

Quant F:
Power: 912 hp
Torque: 2138 ft-lb per wheel!
0-62 mph: 2.8 sec
Range: 500 miles
Top speed: 186 mph
All-wheel drive
5,017 lbs curb weight (ugh)

Let's see a real car, guys.

There are actually two 250 liter tanks = 132 gallons!!!!!!!!!!! of ionic liquid eye popping smiley

to give an 800 mile range. I wonder how much a gallon of ionic liquid will cost.

I wonder if that 0 - 62 mph time is with a full tank or one that's almost empty.

Maybe the salt water puddles we have here right now could be used as ionic liquid in a pinch. winking smiley

It should be able to accelerate that fast with a full tank.

BTW, I think it's 800 km, not 800 mi.

You're right about the 800 km which would be 500 mi.
