Exagon
Furtive EGT
The
upcoming Exagon Furtive eGT is a 2+2 all-electric supercar which can easily fit
4 passengers and their luggage. In an official press release, Exagon said that
the eGT has been "designed with versatility in mind; it combines the
behavior and performance of a leading sports car with the comfort of an
executive car." The car measures 4.50 m in length, and will be
distinguished by extremely short front and rear overhangs, a double-bubble
roof, and aerated rear posts.
Under
the hood of the upcoming Exagon Furtive eGT, there are two electric motors
developed by Siemens. Producing a total output of 402 HP, the eGT will sprint
from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The top speed, however, will be limited to 155
mph, unless the limiter is removed in which case it will extend to 178 mph.
Exagon
announced that, at an average speed of 50 kmh, there is an autonomy of
402 kilometers, while at 130 kmh, the autonomy will be 197
kilometers. The model will be offered with an optional
range-extender which will increase the car’s autonomy to 807 kilometers. This range extender is a small combustion engine with a low cylinder
capacity which charges the batteries when they have reached the limit of their
autonomy. This engine has no effect on the wheels; it simply acts as a
generator. It therefore has very low fuel consumption and functions at a
constant rate, ensuring optimum fuel consumption.
Production
of the new Exagon Furtive eGT began in 2013. The company hopes to sell a total
of 150 units a year, which may be a little difficult considering it is priced
at 350,000 euro, or about US$ 425,000 at the current exchange rates.
