Millionaires across the world looking to buy a 2,000HP electric hypercar will have one more option in the near future, in the form of the Estrema Fulminea that will be revealed later this month.

The Fulminea will be the first product of the Automobili Estrema, a new company established by Gianfranco Pizzuto, a former shareholder and distributor of Fisker in Europe, and based in Modena, Italy.

What makes the Estrema Fulminea stand out from the rest of the electric hypercars, in theory, is the battery pack; Estrema claims that the Fulminea will be the first street-legal hypercar to be fitted with a “hybrid” battery pack that combines solid-state cells with ultra-capacitors.

The two different cell types are not exactly “combined” but rather packed into two different cases made out of carbon fiber, with the ultracapacitor pack mounted near the front axle while the bigger solid-state Li-ion battery pack located behind the passenger cell and ahead of the rear axle. The solid-state cells come from Avesta Battery Energy Engineering and feature “cell-to-pack” technology.

The result, according to the company, is a 100 kWh battery pack with an “unprecedented” energy density of 450 Wh/kg – for comparison, the Tesla Model 3’s pack with the ‘2170’ cells offers an energy density of around 260 Wh/kg. Estrema also expects the batteries in the Fulminea to weigh under 300 kg (661 lbs), with the whole vehicle offering a curb weight of just 1,507 kg (3,307 lbs).

In addition, the powertrain consists of four electric motors with a total peak power of 2,040 HP, enabling the Fulminea to accelerate from 0 to 320 km/h (200 mph) in under 10 seconds while offering an estimated driving range of 323 miles (520 km) on the WLTP cycle.

 

The new Estrema Fulminea will be officially revealed on May 13 at the Turin Automobile Museum. Automobili Estrema says that the first customer examples of the Fulminea will reach customers in the second half of 2023.
