Page 1 of 1 The purpose of the Design-X1 is to understand if petrolheads would be happy to go electric, if such a sports car would remain light and track focused.
The idea came from a client in California. The principle is to produce the X1 at an extremely limited number, 11 units, if other car collectors are also interested (the price range would be between 200K to 300k USD). In a way these Electric Design-X1 would be the founders cars for us to derive a more standard electric Design-1 later on.
We are already in discussion with partners specialised in electric drivetrain. However we remain open to discuss with any company interested in pushing forward the electric technology. The intention is to promote the Design-X1 as a driver's car and focus on driving sensations.
The Design-X1 is a hi-profile project using advanced battery and hi-capacitor technologies in order to maintain the overall weight under 1000 Kg. The proposal is different from the future Tesla Roadster which aims at becoming a great GT.
Aerodynamics has been studied in much more details on the Design-X1 hence the one seater configuration (however the specific tonneau cover is removable to fit a passenger).
Regarding the Design-1 Launch Edition, we are very pleased our first clients love the car. They do feel the sensations of a vintage sports car fitted with an engine full of torque combined to a precise steering. It's also such an exclusive car that attracts the crowd everytime. At the moment the all team is working hard to ramp up the production. Page 1 of 1
