H2OMG: This 390kmph car is powered only by salt water! Quant e-Sportlimousine really is a car powered exclusively by salt water, and now it’s road legal. It can achieve a top speed of almost 390kmph, does 0-100kmph in a pant-wetting 2.8 seconds and has a range of up to 600km. We suspect that not everyone will adore its styling, but it’s certainly noticeable – and very long at well over 5 metres in length. Check out those crazy gull-wing doors, which run the entire length of the cabin. This being a modern supercar, there’s plenty of carbon fibre in use, too. The e-Sportlimousine has four electric motors (one for each wheel) all of which are powered by the nanoFLOWCELL system. Based on flow cell technology developed by NASA in the 1970s, the system needs only salt water to function and releases zero emissions. It has just been declared road legal in Europe after in-depth testing and inspection. Which suggests that its nanoFLOWCELL system is legit. It isnt going to be on sale any time soon. But the company are claiming that this official approval for the prototype means they can start to explore production options, as well as look at other applications for flow cell technology.
