salt water powered supercar - Qaunt e-sportlimousine

Once in a while someone makes a massive breakthrough in technology and it has just happened in Europe with the Quant E-sportlimousine. It is the first car in the world to be powered electricity using salt water. This is amazing on many levels as salt water is abundant and the performance produced by the electric motors is nothing short of staggering.

Instead of normally charging the batteries of the car using electricity, the Quant E-sportlimousine uses salt water with a chemical reaction to create electricity. It promises very good driving range of 600km and incredible power and torque figures. There is an electric motor attached to each wheel and is computer controlled to allow it to determine how much power and torque is sent to each wheel which is handy for torque vectoring to optimise performance.

The big surprise is that the car produces 644hp and 8552 lbs-ft of torque!! that is more torque than 10 supercars added together!! The concept also took the storage of electricity to another level for cars. Instead of just charging up the batteries the traditional way, it can be topped up by replenishing electrolytes which is kind of like adding gasoline to the car. The energy is stored in 2 large capacitors from which the electric motors draw their energy from.

Once this technology is able to be made more affordable I believe more cars will be using this technology instead of the existing flawed hybrid system or the current pure electric car system with limited operating range.
