Volar-E revealed in a video. Not bad. [Video]

A few days ago i wrote here that today the Spanish born company Applus IDIADA would introduce their new concept car, the Volar-E, and they did that at the Circuit de Catalunya during the F1 Test Days. This is an all-electric supercar, well prototype for now, that was created in less than 4 months, since they were chosen by the European Commission in last September to create by high performance sports car.

At that time i also gave you some values related to the power and torque, and it seems they are wrong. The electric supercar has four electric motors on each wheel that together produce 1073hp (800kW) and 1000Nm (737lb/ft), and will take only 15 to 20 minutes to fully charge the 10 module 38kW/h battery.

It only need 3.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph), while it takes 6.5 seconds to reach 200km/h and 12.1 seconds to reach its top speed of 300km/h. When slowing down the regenerative braking system takes over and helps charge the battery for a greater range.

2013 Volar-E. Another electric "supercar" will be revealed this Friday.

One day the world will be saturated with supercars but today is not that day. Here you have another so called supercar created by the Spanish engineering company Applus+Idiad, who was choosed by the European Comission last year to an electric supercar, with the help of their main partner, the Croatian company Rimac.

The Volar-E prototype was created in just three months, and in that time they made a lightweight carbon fiber bodywork, a tubular chrome-molybdenum chassis and the batteries.

The car will feature a four-wheel drive system, thanks to the four electric motors in each wheel, and will use 10 modules from the Rimac's battery system with total voltage of 640V and 38kWh of energy generating 800hp (596 kW) and 1500Nm (1106lb/ft) of torque.

But this is a car that won't be at Geneva, it have its premiere this Friday at the Circuit de Catalunya.
