Exagon Furtive e-GT

[domenick]

Just came across this video of the Furtive e-GT being driven at Magny Cours.
According to the poster, it did the course 2 seconds faster than the McLaren MP4-12C (he rode in it as well), though the McLaren seemed faster because of all the drama. :smile:

Also, haven't confirmed it with the company yet, but I read that they will show the production version at the Paris Auto Show at the end of September.

Looks like a good car. But at €300k they'll sell a maximum of 100 per year.

Was told the same thing at Geneva. Also expect three phase rapid charge then.

That's good cause that's all they're making.

Not a bad looking car, but still overpriced. For 1/3 the price you can get a Karma or Roadster which each cater to looks/range in the former and performance in the latter. And you'll have $200K leftover in your pocket.

I agree on price, though the Karma won't get you that 0-60 performance. I'm surprised Audi and BMW haven't tried for more aggressive performance numbers considering the lofty prices they plan to charge as well.

With respect, the Roadster's interior and build quality is only worth 1/3 the price (Note: I love my Roadster). You really need to see the Furtive e-GT and sit in it... you then realise that you are looking at an electric super car that can take on the Ferrari's and Koenigsegg's in terms of quality and desirability... IMO this car will set the bench mark that Tesla and others will need to beat in future.

Though I'd love to see it I hope Tesla doesn't bother for a long time. We need better affordable EV's not more super cars.

I saw the e-GT in the drivers' parade at Le Mans. Looks good outside too.

So what's the time frame on this car? When do they expect it to enter production?

Exagon Motors Furtive-eGT Spotted at Nurburgring

...Exagon Motor’s electric supercar was introduced at last year’s Top Marques Monaco car show and the production model will make its public debut at this year’s Paris Motor Show in September...

 

[AnOutsider]

Similar sloped frontend like the S and X. Assuming it's for aerodynamics, but makes the "face" look droopy:

100 next year...

So, let's get Tesla Motors to buy Exagon Motors. Instant supercar to add more halo to the Tesla brand!

Yep and a perfect synergy... Exagon would teach Tesla about interior design and Tesla would teach Exagon about batteries and drive-trains... and owners would start taking records from the ICE-Age cars :biggrin:

 

[doug]

I think it's better to have more players out there, assuming Exagon is able to follow through.

 

[AnOutsider]

do we have interior photos?
