Automobili Estrema, hypercar Fulminea debutta a Salon Privé

L’autonomia è di 520 km, il peso della batteria di soli 300 kg

Automobili Estrema Fulminea fa il suo debutto nel Regno Unito al Salon Privé 2021, che si svolge a Blenheim Palace fino al 5 settembre, all’interno di una nuova sezione Concepts & Classe Prototipi nel Concours d’Elégance dell’evento.

“La Fulminea segna l’inizio di una nuova generazione di auto elettriche: ha tutte le caratteristiche di un’auto da corsa, ma presenta un propulsore completamente elettrico e soluzioni innovative – ha detto Gianfranco Pizzuto, fondatore e ceo di Automobili Estrema -. La nostra filosofia si basa su quattro concetti principali: romanticismo, eleganza, purezza ed equilibrio e siamo molto lieti di essere qui al Salon Privé per il debutto nel Regno Unito di Fulminea”.

Fulminea è una hypercar completamente elettrica costruita da Automobili Estrema, fondata nel 2020 dall’imprenditore Gianfranco Pizzuto. Con sede a Modena, nel cuore della Motor Valley, Automobili Estrema punta a rendere Fulminea “il più veloce laboratorio tecnologico su ruote” e si specializzerà nella progettazione e produzione di hypercar esclusive costruite in numero limitato.
In vendita nella seconda metà del 2023, sarà la prima auto al mondo a utilizzare un innovativo pacco batterie “ibrido” che combina celle agli ioni di litio con elettrolita a stato solido e ultracondensatori.
L’allestimento fornisce 100kWh di energia per alimentare i quattro motori elettrici con una potenza totale equivalente a 2040 cv, sufficienti per spingere la Fulminea da 0 a 320 km/h in meno di 10 secondi. L’autonomia prevista è di 520 km; con un peso della batteria di soli 300 chili che permette al veicolo di raggiungere un peso complessivo di 1.500 chili.
Fulminea si distingue anche per la sua forma aerodinamica e compatta. I materiali compositi leggeri sono utilizzati nel suo design, che è stato ottimizzato tramite l’uso di test CFD e presenta elementi aerodinamici attivi come la presa d’aria anteriore e l’ala posteriore retrattile.

Turin, May 13 2021

Fulminea: the art of building “extreme” electric cars can now be experienced first-hand

Its character is encapsulated in its name: fast, powerful and electric, in a word, Fulminea. The hedonistic pleasure of sporty driving, cutting-edge technology, an obsession for details and respect for the environment: this is the full-electric road hypercar from Automobili Estrema, the company founded in 2020 by entrepreneur Gianfranco Pizzuto. A car featuring the most advanced technology in the field of energy storage and the fine craftsmanship in the construction of ultrahigh performance vehicles typical of the Motor Valley. A new excellence of Made in Italy, Made in Modena and Made in Turin, ready to enter the world of hypercars like a lightning bolt. Fulminea will be the first car in the world to use an innovative “hybrid” battery pack that combines innovative Li-ion cells with solid-state electrolyte and ultracapacitors, achieving 100 kWh of energy to power the four electric motors with a total power output of 1.5 MW (2,040 hp).

Research, cutting-edge technology, bold and functional solutions, and extreme customisation are the distinctive traits characterising the work carried out by the Automobili Estrema team, whose mission is to create a new Italian car brand to compete on the world stage of electric supercars and hypercars. The Fulminea marks the beginning of a new generation of electric cars: a car that has all the characteristics of a racing car, i.e. high performances, cutting-edge technology and premium materials such as latest-generation carbon fibre, but with the exception that instead of a combustion engine it features a full-electric powertrain with innovative solutions, a world first. The Fulminea is capable of delivering 1.5 MW of power, equal to 2,040 hp, and contains two important technological innovations: it is the first car in the world to use a “hybrid” battery pack that uses solid state cells produced by ABEE (Avesta Battery Energy Engineering) and ultra-capacitors, elements that provide the energy boost needed to unleash the power of the four electric motors. The battery pack is designed and produced in collaboration with IMECAR Elektronik. The power is distributed to the wheels by 4 electric motors that allow the Fulminea to accelerate from 0 to 320 km/h in less than 10 seconds. The battery pack has a capacity of 100 kWh with an expected range – according to the WLTP cycle – of 520 km. Thanks to the use of prismatic solid-state cells, the hybrid battery can make use of cell-to-pack technology, achieving a record energy density of 500 Wh/kg, equivalent to 1.2 kWh/l, with a battery weight of just 300 kg and a total weight in running order of 1,500 kg. In addition, thanks to collaboration with Electra Vehicle, the BMS (Battery Management System) is supported by a software called “EVE-Ai” which constantly and actively optimises the power demand between the two energy systems to maximise the efficiency and performance of the car by customising the control strategy according to the operating environment, battery conditions and driving style.

These are the key words that identify Fulminea: extreme style, innovative design and refined details; maximum energy efficiency while respecting the environment; extreme experience in driving a superfast electric car.

The aim of Automobili Estrema, a careful observer of the world of electric cars and a forerunner of innovative technologies, is to make Fulminea the fastest technology lab on wheels in the world.

The new hypercar – made in Modena, in the Motor Valley – will hit the market in the second half of 2023.

The essence of Automobili Estrema’s style

The philosophy of Automobili Estrema is based on four main concepts: romance, elegance, purity and balance.

Romance stands for a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with creation. Elegance refers to the quality of having a graceful appearance and manners, as stated by the classic and timeless Italian style. Purity means getting rid of frills in order to achieve an essential, clean and functional design. Balance is the ability to combine different elements in the right proportion.

In a top-notch performance model like the Fulminea, elegance is the key quality making the car sinuous and graceful. A return to basics with an eye turned on the future: ancient rules leading to new style solutions in which all the elements are combined to create a harmonious balance.

Automobili Estrema’s design philosophy is embodied in a car associating a beautifully sculpted bodywork to fittings and elements typical of the racing world: the racing set-up, the carbon aerodynamic elements, the rear mobile wing that integrates into the bodywork when the car is stationary, the lateral sills, the rear extractor, the carbon wheel cover discs, the shark fin and the various air intakes.

Design: new frontiers of style

The Fulminea stands out for its unique and bold looks: its silhouette is extremely aerodynamic, streamlined and compact. The soft, rounded surface is reminiscent of the classic cars of the 1960s and matches perfectly with the carbon-fibre trims giving it a more angular and aggressive look typical of modern racing cars. On the front, the wedge-shaped profile faces the ground and then gradually lifts up towards the mudguards, forming a soft teardrop shape, while the rear is sharply well-defined. Great attention has been paid to proportions and volumes, calibrating with the utmost precision the mass distribution on the whole car. The side view is dominated by lines and volumes resulting from both the front and the rear wings, crossing centrally and thus echoing the silhouette of a lightning bolt, the carmaker’s signature.

The Fulminea stands out for its decisive and feminine attitude: the front wings gently widen up, then narrow backwards along the cockpit, only to widen up again at the rear wings, in a play of perfectly alternating shapes, reminiscent of a woman’s elegant, sinuous and attractive hourglass silhouette.

The lightness of the volumes was inspired by the fastest creatures on the planet: the profile of the peregrine falcon for its long, slender tail; the silhouette of the running cheetah, not only for the power of its rear muscles but also for the width of its ribcage, the hollow of its flanks, its stretchy legs, the sinuosity of its tail perfectly balanced even when moving; the sailfish for the forked, slender shape of its tail and the slenderness of its vertical fins, and finally the iconic shape of the shark fin positioned at the rear centre.

The cockpit was designed to maximise the aerodynamics, enhancing the air flow along the entire car profile. The ‘butterfly’ doors have a wide opening angle for easy access.

 

The Automobili Estrema logo

The emblem of Automobili Estrema is a blue shield and is a clear reference to the historical tradition of the iconic coats of arms of the past, revisited in a contemporary way. Inside the shield there is a lightning bolt, symbol of electricity, speed and clean energy, which is piercing through it, showing all its power. The background is in light blue with a carbon fibre weave to give it a modern and technological touch, while the lightning bolt proudly bears the colours of the Italian flag. The Fulminea logo, made of polished steel, is in italics as reference to the writing stroke speed.

 

Unique details: sensory experiences

The colour of the Fulminea body is called “Azzurro Savoia”, it is the signature colour of Automobili Estrema, a shiny iridescent shade inspired by the marvellous hues of azurite crystals that matches perfectly with the dark texture of the carbon fibre, emphasising its agile and elusive lines.

The car is characterised by unique, stylish and functional elements such as the front light clusters, developed around the graphic sign of the lightning bolt, a stylistic element that is the basis of the Automobili Estrema philosophy, integrating mixed LED / Laser technology headlights with top lighting performance.

Also, the solutions developed for the rear of the car are equally innovative, such as the third brake light sunken into the transparent shark fin-shaped detail and the rear headlight fins made by EST-Mobile of Turin.

Until now, no car manufacturer in the world has used highly transparent recycled methacrylate panels with RGB LED lights to create, through an optic fibre-like light trail effect, a unique and attractive design for the rear light clusters, combined with a precise aerodynamic function. Automobili Estrema in cooperation with its technical partner EST-Mobile developed a special high-tech know-how in order to bend the material correctly without damaging it and to position the LED lights in such a way as to conceal the light source and let the glow “magically” appear along the edges of the light cluster, which thanks to its transparency looks like a crystal.

Rear-view mirrors have been replaced by integrated cameras located on both outer sides of the mudguards: anything standing in the visual field out of the cockpit is displayed inside the car. The elegant and pure car design is preserved because the cameras rotate only during driving and parking operations.

The handles have been integrated into the structure of the Fulminea: the vehicle can be opened and closed through an innovative and invisible touch system, known only by the car owner, thus ensuring the highest level of security.

 

 

Aerodynamics: harmony between beauty and pure speed

Aerodynamics, as with any electric car, is of the utmost importance, especially at high speeds. The Fulminea has been designed to achieve the best aerodynamic efficiency through detailed aerodynamic CFD testing to check the most important features of an extreme performance car.

The design has been optimised to ensure high performances through the adoption of active aerodynamic elements such as the front air intake and the S-Duct variable flow conveyor, and the retractable rear wing that varies in position and incidence according to the speed and driving style set by the driver. These elements make it possible to optimise drag, downforce on both axles and other parameters according to speed and type of use.

Every single detail has been conceived with a specific aerodynamic function, but also with a great attention to design. The aim was to create functional elements that combine form and function in an innovative and highly distinctive way, such as the air intakes.

The first air intake is located under the front bonnet, whose profile creates downforce for the front axle. Continuing towards the sides of the body there are the exhaust vents in the front wheel arches, which let the hot air generated during braking go out and flow along the front mudguard.

Similarly, the air intakes behind the rear wing leave enough space to get a glimpse of the tyres. On the rear there are additional air intakes that channel and cool the hot air coming from the batteries, the radiator and the electronic components.

 

Hybrid battery technology: efficiency, performance and a silent drive

The Fulminea boasts an outstanding value in the hypercar segment. In fact, it is not just an electric vehicle, but incorporates the most sophisticated technology the automotive industry has to offer today, in an extremely competitive and rapidly expanding market. This has been achieved thanks to a number of high-tech solutions, including the “hybrid” battery pack technology that combines ultracapacitors with solid-state Li-ion cells in a single high-performance super-battery.

The ultracapacitors used by Automobili Estrema have the highest specific power on the market, and perfectly match with the solid-state Li-ion cells, produced by our partner ABEE GROUP, with an unparalleled energy density of 500 Wh/kg or 1.2 kWh/l which represents an increase of between 50% and 100% compared to current battery technology.

In addition to the extremely high energy density, the hybrid battery pack, produced in cooperation with IMECAR Elektronik, is also extremely safe as the solid state electrolyte is non-flammable.

The two different types of cells are housed in separate high-strength battery packs with carbon fibre shells. The ultracapacitors are positioned on the front axle while the larger battery pack, containing solid-state Li-ion cells assembled using cell-to-pack technology, is positioned behind the cockpit, before the rear axle for perfect weight and centre of gravity distribution.

Thanks to the high energy density of the Li-ion cells with solid electrolyte produced by our partner ABEE GROUP, the total weight of the “hybrid battery” has been kept within 300 kg. This is the best weight/energy ratio in the entire automotive industry.

The battery has a BMS (Battery Management System) which is supported by innovative software with A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) and M.L. (Machine Learning), a technology derived from NASA for the optimisation of energy control, to maximise the performance of one or more chemicals used in an electric vehicle battery pack. This solution has been named ‘EVE-Ai’, and corresponds to an intelligent and adaptive brain for batteries that helps to increase the range, lifetime, control and safety of the batteries themselves.

Automobili Estrema

“We learned the rules of professionals, so we can break them like dreamers”

Founded in 2020 by Gianfranco Pizzuto, Automobili Estrema is a brand-new niche car manufacturer, specialising in high performance hypercars and electric supercars. A “brand of excellence” in the automotive industry, specialising in the design and production of exclusive hypercars in limited series. In today’s highly competitive electric vehicle market, the new manufacturer’s goal is to make its way in the high-tech sector applied to electric mobility, and it has begun to do so by presenting its first 100% electric road hypercar featuring the latest technologies and extremely lightweight composite materials.

 

International partnerships: crossing barriers and discover new horizons

Constant change, challenging one’s limits and overcoming boundaries is what it takes to tackle an innovative project like the one undertaken by Automobili Estrema. A closely-knit team, made up of strong and valuable partnerships, is essential. Fulminea was born in Italy, between Modena and Turin. All the engineering and assembly phases are carried out in the heart of the Motor Valley, while the styling and modelling of the hypercar is carried out in the Turin area thanks to the collaboration with the EPTA Design studio and UCIF Modelli, and the creation of the lighting clusters with EST Mobile. As far as technology is concerned, Automobili Estrema crossed the Italian borders and found two partners of excellence: ABEE (Avesta Battery Energy Engineering), a Belgium based engineering company specialised in energy technologies for automotive and stationary applications, and IMECAR Elektronik, an engineering and production company based in Antalya (Turkey) and specialised in vehicle electrification and the production of battery packs and powertrain components. The Fulminea will have Pirelli tyres thanks to the experience and leadership that the Italian tyre company has acquired in electric-powered cars.

 

ESTREMA-Abee Technologies

The launch of Fulminea is not the only big news from Automobili Estrema. On March 1^st, 2021 Automobili Estrema and ABEE Group signed a merger agreement to support a global project aimed at producing state-of-the-art battery cells and high-performance electric vehicles. The expertise of ABEE, founded in 2019 by Prof. Noshin Omar, includes battery system design, validation and feasibility analysis related to the production of next-generation Li-ion cells with solid-state electrolyte. The newly formed holding company has been named ESTREMA-Abee Technologies. The joint activities of this brand-new company will focus on the production of cutting-edge products in the field of high-performance low-volume electric vehicles and, with proprietary technology, the production of cells for latest-generation batteries as well as “hybrid” battery pack systems with “cell-to-pack” technology, the system featured by Fulminea. This revolutionary technology relies on ABEE-manufactured Li-ion solid state cells and capacitors, achieving an unprecedented energy density of 500 Wh/kg (1,200 Wh/l). Estrema-ABEE Technologies will enable the two merged companies, Automobili Estrema and ABEE, to compete internationally in the energy and automotive technology sector, focusing on next-generation battery technologies and zero-emission mobility. To this purpose, a new logo has been created, derived from the one of Automobili Estrema: a green shield representing environmentally sustainable technologies crossed by a blue lightning bolt representing electricity produced from renewable sources. The aim of the holding company is to create the first Italian Giga Factory manufacturing solid state cells: ESTREMA-Abee Technologies wants to combine the know-how and skills of Automobili Estrema with the expertise of its technological partners (IMECAR Elektronik and ABEE Group) to generate a premium HUB specialised in the design, engineering, production and development of cutting-edge hybrid battery technologies, not exclusively aimed at automotive applications.

Il progetto Estrema Fulminea raccontato dal suo creatore

Il progetto Estrema Fulminea, la supercar elettrica made in Modena, raccontato dal suo creatore, Gianfranco Pizzuto, un pioniere nei veicoli a batterie.

Il progetto Estrema Fulminea: “Consegne dal 2023”                  

                                 di Gianfranco Pizzuto

“Dopo aver passato parte della primavera e dell’estate 2020 a cercare di formare un team di Formula-E collegato ad un progetto di supercar turca, decido di interrompere la collaborazione. E di proseguire da solo con un nuovo progetto. Ad inizio settembre chiedo ad una mezza dozzina di professionisti dell’automotive miei amici, se sono disponibili ad iniziare una nuova avventura : costruire una hypercar elettrica tutta italiana. 

Automobili Estrema è nata in pieno “annus horribilis” 2020, per i più potrebbe sembrare un pessimo momento per fondare una casa automobilistica, non di certo per noi. È proprio nei momenti difficili che bisogna cogliere le opportunità, non ci lasciamo di certo intimidire dal persistere di questo virus. Stiamo lavorando con impegno affinché il 2023, anno in cui è prevista la prima consegna di “Fulminea”, sia per noi un “annus mirabilis”.

Il progetto Estrema: “Lavoriamo a una super-batteria”

“Decidiamo di chiamare la nostra EV hypercar “Fulminea”. Per la sua costruzione vogliamo utilizzare il meglio della tecnologia elettrica esistente sul mercato. Con in più una super-batteria di nostra progettazione che, almeno per ora, nessuno al mondo ha.

Uniamo una batteria con celle Li-ion con elettrolita allo stato solido (prodotte dal nostro partner belga ABEE Group) ad una seconda batteria formata da soli ultracapacitori (supercondensatori). Quindi una batteria “ibrida” con sistema di costruzione “cell to pack” (oggi quasi tutte le batterie sono costruite con il sistema “cell to module to pack”). Anche il software, il BMS (Battery Management System), è un concentrato tecnologico (sviluppato in origine per un progetto della NASA). Assistito da un sistema di AI (intelligenza artificiale) in grado di imparare e migliorare la gestione  della batteria adattandosi alle diverse conduzioni d’uso e agli stili di guida”.

Presentazioni a Torino e Modena, da metà maggio

“Se Automobili Estrema ha potuto nascere è grazie al “seed fund” iniziale, il capitale messo a disposizione da “family & friends”. Ha dell’incredibile il fatto che in poco più di 6 mesi, e con risorse finanziare limitate, siamo riusciti a terminare la fase di stile arrivando prima alla costruzione del modello in scala 1:5. E poi, abbiamo iniziato proprio in questi giorni, quello in scala 1:1. Quest’ultimo modello sarà presentato a metà maggio prima a Torino (dove il modello viene materialmente costruito) e poi a Modena nella nostra nuova sede dove le Fulminea verranno assemblate.

Sono conscio del fatto che per poter terminare il progetto siano necessari capitali importanti. E che il progetto “Fulminea” da solo può non essere sufficiente per attrarli. È per questo che, insieme al CEO di ABEE Group, Noshin Omar, abbiamo recentemente deciso di unirci in un’unica società (una holding) denominata Estrema-ABEE Technologies. Dove i due progetti vengono portati avanti insieme con maggiori possibilità di successo. Estrema Fulminea diventerà il laboratorio tecnologico su ruote più veloce al mondo.”

The Italian Fulminea is the first legal electric hyper car with an hybrid battery pack

The project

I can proudly write about an amazing and futuristic Italian project: Fulminea.

“Fulminea”  is a next-gen first street legal electric hyper-car equipped with a powerful battery pack that deliver an unprecedented energy density of 450 Wh/kg (1.200Wh/l).

But nothing is born by chance and the Fulminea Project is the result of a merger agreement between “Automobili Estrema” and “ABEE (Avesta Battery Energy Engineering)“.

Automobili Estrema has been founded by  Gianfranco Pizzuto with the intent to produce electric high-end vehicles and “Fulminea” will be the first street legal electric vehicle to use an hybrid battery pack, which combines super capacitors with ABEE’s Li-ion solid state cells.

A third company is involved into this challenging project and it is IMMERCAR Elektronik.

The Fulminea Project will have ABEE delivering their proprietary solid state cells to IMECAR who will produce an high performance hybrid battery pack.

Fulminea is set to be delivered to its first 61 customers in Q3 2023 and will be produced in Modena:  the heart of the Italian Motor Valley.

Exterior styling

The exterior design has been made by EPTA DESIGN of Luigi Memola e Alessandro Fini.

Personally I have the pleasure to know Luigi and out of any doubts I can say that his way to produces car concepts is really amazing and innovative and the official web site epta-design.com is the proof of the evidence!

The elegance of the Fulminea’s design is enhanced by the front and rear tail lights produced by EST Mobile, that has integrated into the “blades” of the tails some functional features as well.

Performances

The all electric powertrain will feature 4 motors with a total peak power of 1.5 MW ( 2,040 HP) allowing the Fulminea to accelerate from 0 to 320 km/h (0 to 200 mp/h) in under 10 seconds.

With its hybrid battery pack of 100 kWh, the expected WLTP range will be of 520 km (323 miles).

Thanks to the innovative solid-state cells, the high-performance hybrid battery (with cell to pack technology) will reach an unprecedented energy density of 450 Wh/kg (1,200 Wh/l) with a predicted weight under 300 kg (661 lb) and a total curb weight of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).
