Koenigsegg introduced a new prototype what is called the Quant. With a great cooperation between Koenigsegg and NLV Solar AG this solar dream car is born. But what is so special about this car? Well it is his solar power that powers it’s engine.
The whole car is one big solar cell itself. The whole car is covered with an invisible film that will act like one big solar cell. Pretty cool invention if you ask us. The best part of it is, that it actually recharge itself by driving this amazing car. Within 20 minutes the battery is fully recharged an you can drive 500 KM with it. How great is that?

But… Koenigsegg is a brand that is well known as a sports car. So we want to know the results this car can deliver.
Well that’s not bad at all! This car will have 500 hp and will sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5,2 seconds and will have a top speed of 275km/h. Now thats what we call a fast electric sports car!

On the images below, you see a 1:1 scale model of this brand new concept of the Koenigsegg Quant. Enjoy!
