The Piëch GT has been officially unveiled as a premium electrified sportscar with traditional analogue ideals. The new contender from Switzerland promises to offer daily usability without compromise on the thrills.
Powering the Piëch GT are three 150 kW motors. One sits on the front axle while the other two sit on each wheel at the rear to give the coupe a rear-wheel drive feel. This sources power from a 75 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that boasts a total claimed range of 500 km together with a fast charging time of up to 80 per cent in eight minutes. With this, the boutique firm claims a 0-100 km/h time of 3,0 seconds and a 0-200 km/h time of 9,0 seconds. Top speed is locked in at 250 km/h.
Overall dimensions of the sporty Piëch GT come in at 4 432 mm long, 1 991 wide and 1 250 tall with a wheelbase of 2 620 mm and overall mass of 1 800 kg. 60 per cent of this mass sits on the rear end.
Company founder Toni Piëch says “Piëch Automotive made a product promise at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Today we can proudly state that we can deliver on that promise. The entire vehicle concept, including the train and battery, is in place.
“We were able to convince our investors that our concept is sound, that we are meeting all the milestones in our product development, and that the core processes work. We are focusing on durability and sustainability. The Piëch GT will be produced at the facilities of a renowned automobile manufacturer, and we are already targeting a production volume of 1 200 vehicles in the first year.”
