Estrema Fulminea arrives, the 2,040 HP electric hypercar made in Italy

Automobili Estrema has unveiled the Fulminea, the electric hypercar we talked about last February which features an innovative battery pack called & quot; hybrid & quot; that I will use both Li-ion cells with solid state electrolyte and ultracapacitors. The commercial launch is; expected in the third quarter of 2023. The selling price, excluding taxes, is; of 1,961,000 euros. A total of 61 units will be produced. The new hypercar will be & agrave; produced in Modena, in the Motor Valley .

HOW THE HYBRID BATTERY WORKS The project of the electric car is; Italian and it is due to the entrepreneur Gianfranco Pizzuto , already & agrave; co-founder and financier of Fisker Automotive, which created this new company in 2020; in Italy. Lightning & egrave; therefore a real project with a precise commercial strategy behind it. An innovative product that also aims to relaunch Italy in the race for technologies related to the development of mobility; electric.

The numbers of this hypercar are truly impressive. The 4 electric motors, one for each wheel, deliver a total power of 1.5 MW (2,040 HP) . As a result, the performance is very high. According to what was communicated, it takes less than 10 seconds to reach 320 km/h. The autonomy according to the WLTP cycle reaches 520 km and will be; possible thanks to the battery pack able to offer a capacity; of 100 kWh .

But just the battery pack & egrave; the most important element innovative of this hypercar. As mentioned at the beginning, it is a & quot; hybrid & quot; solution was chosen which combines the solid state cells to the supercapacitors that will be used to manage especially the high energy demands during the acceleration phases. According to Estrema Automobili, the solid state Li-ion cells are produced by the partner ABEE GROUP and have a density; of energy of 500 Wh/kg which represents an increase between 50% and 100% compared to the current battery technology.

The ultracapacitors are positioned on the front axle while the battery pack more & ugrave; large, containing solid state cells assembled with & quot; cell to pack technology'', are positioned behind the passenger compartment before the rear axle. In this way & egrave; perfect weight distribution can be achieved. Thanks to the use of these innovative technologies & egrave; it was possible to keep the weight of the battery pack to 300 kg The total weight of the car is 1,500 kg.

The BMS , that is; the system that manages the functioning of the accumulator, uses a software equipped with artificial intelligence and machine learning. It therefore uses a technology derived from NASA for the optimization of energy control. The company & agrave; called this innovative system & ldquo; EVE-Ai & rdquo ;.

But the Lightning Extreme is not; only technology because & eacute; the company & agrave; he also worked a lot on the design and aerodynamics that has active solutions. In particular, the interior design & egrave; it has been studied in order to favor the maximum aerodynamics; allowing the flow of air to flow along the entire profile of the car. The & ldquo; butterfly & rdquo; doors feature a wide opening angle that facilitates access and an & quot; arrowhead & quot; shaped air vent. In addition, the hypercar comes in a body color & quot; Savoia Blue & quot ;, the identification of Automobili Estrema.

There are no rear view mirrors. In their place & egrave; chosen to use a camera system. Extreme Fulminea measures 4,683 mm length x 2,052 mm width x 1,148 mm height.

GIGAFACTORY IN ITALY

Among the objectives of the future of the company also to build a Gigafactory in Italy dedicated to the production of solid state cells. The aim is to be ready in 2025. For this project & egrave; an investment of approximately 500 million euros has been estimated and would already be; some discussions are underway with important realities, including Italian ones. Bringing solid-state cells to series production will allow & agrave; to significantly lower their cost, now estimated by the company; in about 3,000 euros per kWh.
