Next Tuesday, the German company Elektron Motors should present its model Quasar, an electric hypercar whose declared performance surpasses almost everything that currently exists in this segment, including the Croatian Rimac Nevera.
According to the manufacturer, Quasar is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 2,413 HP and about 3,000 Nm of torque. The car should accelerate to 100 km/h in just 1.65 seconds, while the top speed is electronically limited to 450 km/h, and without restrictions it would reach as much as 525 km/h. The weight of the vehicle should remain at around 1,500 kilograms, thanks to the extensive use of composite materials and carbon construction.
The company says the Quasar will use its own all-wheel torque distribution system, active suspension and a high-performance battery pack. The planned series is limited to only 99 examples, and the starting price should be around 2.2 million euros.
Despite the spectacular numbers, the project has been causing a certain amount of skepticism for years. The Quasar was first introduced back in 2021, when renderings and technical specifications were released, but the public has not yet seen a production car or independently confirmed performance.
Comparisons with Rimac Never are self-evident. The Croatian hypercar has 1,914 HP and accelerates to 100 km/h in 1.85 seconds, and behind it are years of development, production and a series of officially confirmed records.
If Elektron Motors manages to achieve the announced specifications, the Quasar could become one of the most extreme electric cars in the world. Until then, it remains a project that fascinates with numbers, but still has to prove that it can deliver on its promises.
