German firm E-Legend has revealed an ultra-exclusive 600kW performance EV that pays tribute to the Audi Quattro S1 rally car.
Named the EL1, the coupé is powered by three electric motors and draws its reserves from a 90kWh battery pack, all of undisclosed origin.
E-Legend says the rally-inspired EV has a 400-kilometre range, can do 0-100km/h in just 2.8sec and will be able to complete the Nürburgring Nordschleife twice when driven in its power-hungry Sport Plus mode.
The 1680kg car is equipped with 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear wheels, front and rear LED daytime running lights, a bespoke spoiler and three-way adjustable suspension. The interior is yet to be finalised, but we do know that it will feature multimedia connectivity, air conditioning and a rear-view camera.
“The goal of E-Legend is to transfer analog primal instincts of emotional driving into the modern world,” the company said. It stated that the EL1 is “based on a super-light and proven carbon monocoque”, again from an unnamed supplier.
“In its first stage of development, this automobile is powered by electric motors achieving 600kW [805bhp] and wears an extremely enchanting dress in the style of one of the unforgettable technical wonders of the legendary rally era,” E-Legend said.
Just 30 examples of the EL1 will be sold, priced at around £762,000 (AUD$1.4 million) before import taxes.
E-Legend also said that two further rally-inspired models will follow in the future, both with the same production run of 30.
