Anton “Toni” Piëch, son of former Volkswagen Group CEO Ferdinand Piëch and great-grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, plans to launch his all-electric GT in 2028.
After a hesitant start to get a GT concept off the ground in 2019, this second attempt has the participation of David Seesing, designer of the supposedly revitalized TVR Griffith (another project with big question marks about it) and former Mercedes-AMG guy Tobias. . Moers.
Clearly inspired by famous Grand Tourer models such as Aston Martin and Jaguar, the Piëch GT’s second attempt is a more finished and eye-catching car.
Although obviously only a concept, Piëch is already aiming for significant performance: the long, low two-seater 2-seater features a 90 kWh battery that supplies power to two electric motors, each with an output of 375 kW/550 Nm for a total of 375 kW/550 Nm. Power of around 1,005 hp.
The acceleration time from 0 to one hundred km/h will be around 2. 6 seconds, the top speed will be around 187 km/h and the range will be around 312 kilometers on a single charge. It is clear that it has the Porsche Taycan Turbo S in its attractions with those kinds of statistics.
What’s more, the Aston-style styling hints that it could also take aim at Gaydon’s famous products, which for years have been rumored to be purely electric. But President Lawrence Stroll told reporters that customer demand for electric cars is not “what we imagine. “years”, focusing instead on its intentions in plug-in hybrids.
According to Car Magazine, the Piëch GT is very much aimed at the thrill of sports cars with cutting-edge features like we recently experienced in the Hyundai Ioniq five N.
Piëch says it uses what it calls its Dual2 Drive system, which aims to eliminate the decreasing torque force curve at high revs, found in electric motors with a two-speed transmission that provides a familiar kick when shifting.
Instead of a smooth, unnatural power feel, the GT hopes to deliver acceleration closer to that of an old V8.
While we may not see any prototypes working until next year, the price is said to be around $200,000 / £180,000 / AU$300,000, with the first deliveries scheduled for 2028.
Leon has been navigating a world where cars and generation have met for about 20 years, encompassing everything from in-car entertainment to robot production plants. Currently, electric cars are the center of your attention, but wait a few years and they will be electric. barges with vertical take-off and landing. Outside of operating hours, you can be found fiddling with typical analog motorcycles, because electric motors don’t replace an old Honda inline four-cylinder.
