Piech GT

The Piech GT is the first electrically powered car that Toni Piech will offer to customers from 2024. Toni Piech is the great-grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the famous German car company, who would be proud of the sporty electric two-seater project.

The car was introduced in 2019 as the Mark Zero Concept. For now, it is known that the Piech GT electric two-seater will be powered by three electric motors with a total power of 600 hp (441 kW). It is equipped with a 75 kWh Lithium-Ion battery that provides a range of just over 500 kilometers on a single charge. The battery can be charged up to 80 percent in eight minutes thanks to the fast charger. Fast charger specially developed by TGOOD enables charging in under five minutes. It reaches 62 mph in 3 seconds and 124 mph (200 kph) in 9 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph).

“We created a sports car with a timeless design, just like we would dream ourselves. And we spoke at length with car enthusiasts about what is missing on the market. The result was a modern classic that is not bound by any consumer cycles. Drivers of our sports car should enjoy every moment they spend behind the wheel, ”says Rea Stark Rajcic, co-founder and CDO of Piëch Automotive.

The Piech GT is mounted on 20-inch wheels with 255 / 40-20 (front) and 295 / 35-20 (rear) tires. There are also 21-inch wheels with 265 / 35-21 (front) and 305 / 30-21 (rear) tires.

Toni Piech is convinced that there will be enough customers who will set aside around 200,000 euros for his first model. Besides GT two-seater, an ambitious company, which plans to produce 10,000 cars a year, will soon offer an electric four-seater model and an SUV.
