We first caught wind of the Estrema Fulminea in 2021 as a hypercar EV idea with unbelievable numbers. We’re now used to megabuck, extremely horsepower supercars just like the Rimac Nevera (previously known as the C_Two idea), Lotus Evija, the gorgeous Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution, and the fascinating Pininfarina Battista. Fulminea has the digits to maintain up with the competitors, a rarified elite with upwards of two,000 horsepower and an eye-watering $2 million price ticket.
Estrema Fulminea Styling
No doubt, the Estrema Fulminea is a head-turner with its streamlined physique. It has a wedge-shaped entrance finish that transitions to a smoother teardrop silhouette in the direction of the voluminous rear finish. Automobili Estrema describes it as an hourglass determine, whereas the usual butterfly doorways cement its standing as a world-beating, zero-emissions hypercar.
Hiding below the Fulminea’s aerodynamic Italian model are 4 electrical motors that pump out a mixed 1.5 megawatts of power, or about 2,040 horsepower in automotive converse. Equipped with a torque-vectoring AWD system courtesy of the electrical motors, Automobili Estrema claims zero to 320 kph (0 to 200 mph) in below 10 seconds. For perspective, Lotus claims the Evija takes lower than three seconds to hurry from zero to 60 mph and has a high velocity of 218 mph (350 kph).
Hybrid Battery Pack
No, we’re not speaking a few hybrid electrical automotive with a gasoline engine and electrical motor. Instead, Estrema Fulminea has the world’s first hybrid battery pack that mixes lithium-ion cells, solid-state electrolytes, and ultracapacitors. Developed in cooperation with Avesta Battery Energy Engineering (ABEE) and IMECAR Elektronik, the battery makes use of cell-to-pack know-how to realize a record-breaking 500 Wh/kg power density whereas tipping the scales at nearly 661 lbs. (300 kg). The lighter battery pack and carbon fiber composite physique shell allow the complete automotive to weigh not more than 3,300 lbs. (1,500 kg).
The battery administration system (created and engineered along with Elektra Vehicle) makes use of AI-equipped software program that Automobili Estrema calls “EVE-Ai.” The system always screens and optimizes energy supply to maximise power effectivity and real-world efficiency. The automaker claims its high-density hybrid battery permits as much as 520 plus kilometers of vary below WLTP testing requirements – about 330 miles below the U.S. EPA cycle. Meanwhile, the automotive has DC fast-charging capabilities to replenish 80 p.c of the juice in below quarter-hour.
Quest For Greatness

In addition, the automaker declared its intent to set a brand new report across the Nürburgring Nordschleife for an all-electric sports activities automotive.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is the present manufacturing EV report holder by lapping “The Green Hell” in seven minutes and 33.350 seconds, upsetting the Tesla Model S Plaid by greater than two seconds. On the opposite hand, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS by Manthey Racing is the quickest gas-powered manufacturing automotive across the Nürburgring, posting a powerful six minutes and 43.300 second lap time.
Estrema Fulminea Availability
Automobili Estrema will initially construct 61 items of the Fulminea, with every beginning upwards of $2.1 million. Whether the boutique automaker’s hybrid battery pack will change the EV sport is debatable, but it surely ought to at the least shake up the hypercar section. Either manner, we’re glad startup firms are relentlessly twiddling with present battery know-how in preparation for an all-electric future.
