The Koenigsegg
Quant is a planned four-seat, solar-electric sports car. The vehicle is slated to use an unusual layout with two large gullwing doors providing access to both front and rear seats. Power is said to be provided by a "solar electric" system developed with the help of NLV Solar using a new type of lightweight battery technology called "Flow Accumulator Energy Storage" as well as a photovoltaic coating used to capture solar energy. Range is said to be over 500 km (310.7 mi) on a single charge. Koenigsegg claims the output will be 512 vhp and 715 Nm (527 lb/ft) of torque which will propel the vehicle to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 275 km/h (170 mph). The vehicle will be considerably heavier than Koenigsegg's other offerings, with a weight of 1780 kg.
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
