Here we have a little known company, at least here in Canada, with big dreams and the know-how to put together a nearly unique automotive product. What isn't that unique is the idea of a 4-door electric car but what will set this car apart from everyone else are its thin film made of pyrite (converts light into electricity) and the equivalent of 800 hp. How is this possible? Because this is a joint endeavour with Koenigsegg!

NLV Solar AG, a pioneer in photovoltaics and accumulator technology, have joined forces to create the Quant sport. The brainchild of this marriage of power and energy is a four-seater electric car – a breakthrough the market eagerly has been anticipating for years. A running prototype is to be unveiled at the Motor Show Geneva 2010, with currently working to scale up for series production.
The NLV Quant is an exciting, revolutionary automotive project. Within the coming year, the NLV Quant will be fully engineered and ready for production. You can follow the last few stages. The design, drive system, range and photovoltaics of the Quant are already spectacular and record-breaking as individual components, and we believe that together they will mark a milestone in automotive history.
The NLV Quant is proof that cutting-edge supercars can combine speed, comfort and enjoyment with environmental integrity. It implents the mobile energy technology of the future. The NLV Quant has two different battery systems, a torque vectoring with 4 electric motors and a full carbon chassis. A thin-film coated photvoltaic car body supplies the operating electronics and also supports the battery. Gull-wing doors provide easy access to all four passengers.
