UK debut for 2040bhp Estrema Fulminea

The Italian-made Fulminea will make its UK debut at this year’s Salon Privé in September 2021. This full-electric hypercar is by Automobili Estrema, founded by Gianfranco Pizzuto and based in Modena. Set to go on sale in 2023, the Fulminea is claimed to be the world’s first car to combine lithium battery cells with solid-state ultracapacitors.

This keeps battery weight down to 300kg and overall weight to 1500kg. Composite materials are used for the construction and there are active aerodynamic elements both front and rear. Total power is 2040hp, driving four electric motors, with performance claims of 0-200mph in less than 10 seconds and a range of 323 miles.

The Fulminea will be one of 10 cars in a new Concepts & Prototypes class at Salon Privé, which runs from 1 to 5 September at Blenheim Palace.
