0-200MPH in Under 10 Seconds?

Italian electric sports car startup Automobili Estrema revealed their 2,040hp electric hypercar called the Fulminea (“Lightning Fast”), and their intention to beat the all-time EV record at the Nürburgring.  Not only are they targeting the electric record, it was also revealed that the car can go from 0-200mph in under 10 seconds (TEN!!!).  Remember how astonishing it was when the Venom GT broke that barrier in 15 seconds back in 2013?

From the Automobili Estrema website:

Fulminea will be the first car in the world to use an innovative hybrid battery pack that combines innovative Li-ion cells with solid-state electrolyte and ultracapacitors, achieving 100 kWh of energy to power the four electric motors with a total power output of 1.5 MW (2,040 hp). 

The Fulminea marks the beginning of a new generation of electric cars: a machine with all the characteristics of a race car: high performance, cutting-edge technology, and premium materials including the latest-generation carbon fiber. But with the big exception that instead of a combustion engine the Fulminea features a world’s first fully electric powertrain with innovative solutions: it is the first car in the world to use a “hybrid” battery pack that uses solid-state cells produced by ABEE (Avesta Battery Energy Engineering) and ultra-capacitors, elements that provide the energy boost needed to unleash the power of the four electric motors. The Initial production is underway and will be capped at 61 cars with a ticket price of 1.961.000 Euros.
