The 2010 Paris Auto Show has brought a new child to the world of electric supercars: the Exagon Motors Furtive e-GT.
Created by a division of the French company Exagon Engineering which is a well-known on the WTCC, FIA GT and Throphee Andros racing scenes.
The vehicle’s electric powertain consists of two Siemens motors that offer a combined output of 340 hp. The vehicle only needs 3.5 seconds to reach 62 mph and has a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). This is electronically limited for road-use, as the car can hit 186 mph (300 km/h on a track). The hybrid powertrain also includes a range extender, in the form of a small capacity internal combustion engine.
Here is the electric-only autonomy of the vehicle:
Autonomy at a constant speed of 50 km/h : 250 miles (402 km)
Autonomy at a constant speed of 90 km/h : 179 miles (288 km)
Autonomy at a constant speed of 110 km/h : 150 miles (241 km)
Autonomy at a constant speed of 130 km/h : 122 miles (197 km)
The range-extender brings the autonomy to 501 miles (807 km).
“The Furtive-eGT is fitted with a range extender: 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 it functions at a constant rate, ensuring optimum fuel consumption. The range extender brings the Furtive-eGT’s total autonomy to 807 km with 25 l of fuel under the ECE15 standard cycle, or 734 km with 25 l of fuel under the standard mixed cycle,” explained the press release.
