Baltasar Revolt

A new fully electric car from the Spanish company Baltasar has arrived on the market. It is a model called Baltasar Revolt, with which this startup company enters the world of fully electric race cars.

The body is made of aluminum, carbon fiber and Kevlar which makes it extremely light with a weight of 1,697 pounds. The interior is inspired by Formula 1 cars with a lot of carbon fiber.

The car has two engines of 500 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque with rear-wheel drive. It is equipped with a 700-volt battery, developed in collaboration with Millor, which provides a range of 373 miles. Thanks to the fast charger, the five-minute charge gives the vehicle a range of 62 miles (100 kilometers).

The light weight and high power of the electric motors allow this runner to reach a speed of 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds, with a currently unknown top speed. The driver has four driving modes available Eco, Practice, Race and Qualifying.

Since the car is entirely a product of Balthazar, the entire manufacturing process was kept secret. Now, Baltasar has announced that orders have been opened and that the price of the Revolt is $ 280,000 (€ 230,000).

And yes, the Revolt is completely road-legal.
