Farnova Automotive Othello

Farnova Automotive Othello

If you think there is no faster production car than Rimac Nevera, think again. Chinese company Farnova Automotive has unveiled a prototype of its supercar, the Othello.

The company was founded two years ago and intends to produce a limited number of this electric hypercar. Othello was built on the platform of Qiantu Motors, which is the result of an agreement between the two companies. Although the same platform was used for the Qiantu K50, the cars are not the same in design and performance.

The Othello is made of lightweight materials, with sharp body lines. It is equipped with a gullwing door, and inside is a simple design with carbon fiber sports seats. The car weighs only 2976 lbs (1,350 kg).

The Othello is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 1,810 hp (1331 kW) and 8,851 lb-ft (12,000 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 1.8 seconds with a top speed of 261 mph (420 km / h). Although it has 100 hp less than the Nevera, it is 0.2 seconds faster. Rimac Nevera reaches 62 mph in 1.97 seconds with a top speed of 258 mph (413 km / h).

Farnova Automotive intends to produce only 200 units of this car at a price of $ 287,578. From next year, Othello will be produced in a newly built plant in Changde. The company said it wants to expand its production to electric crossovers, sedans, SUVs and buses.
