Artega
New Scalo
At
the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show 2015, Artega has returned to the world stage by
unveiling its new sports car to replace the Artega GT. The new car is dubbed
the Scalo and is completely electric.
Powering
for the Artega Scalo are two Voltabox electric motors which typically produce a
combined 402 hp and 575 lb-ft of torque. However, a burst of additional power
bringing the total figure to 516 hp is available for 2 seconds. All told,
Artega promises that the Scalo will accelerate to 96 km/h in just 3.6 seconds
as well as an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
The
aforementioned electric motors will be powered by a 37 kWh lithium-ion battery
complete with a driving range of up to 402 km. With a typical socket, the
battery takes about 10 hours to fully charge but with a 64 kW DC quick charger,
the Scalo can be completely charged in less than an hour.
Visually,
the Artega Scalo bares many resemblances to the original GT but does feature
some unique design elements. At the front air two eye-catching canards as well
as large air intakes cooling the front brakes. Air intakes are also found on
the rear quarter panels while the rear includes an aggressive diffuser as well
as a small spoiler. Inside, the car gets a completely digital gauge cluster as
well as a simple and flowing centre console design.
