Retaining its essence as a two-door, two-seater, the car maintains a cab-rearward silhouette, marked by a distinctive Kammtail-style rear end. Its dimensions measure 4,432 mm in length, 1,991 mm in width, and 1,250 mm in height. What truly distinguishes the Piëch GT, however, lies in its remarkable performance capabilities.

Bolstered by three electric motors, with one propelling the front wheels and the remaining duo energizing the rear, the Piëch GT boasts an amalgamated output of 611 horsepower. Surpassing the Porsche Taycan 4S by about 40 horsepower, this potency translates to staggering acceleration: 0 to 100 km/h in an astonishing 3 seconds, and 0 to 200 km/h in under 9 seconds.

Notably, the Piëch GT shines in the realm of charging technology. While it proffers a substantial 500-kilometer range on a full charge, its rapid charging prowess is nothing short of revolutionary. Achieving an 80% charge within a mere five minutes, the GT establishes a new benchmark for swift recharging. However, this rapid replenishment capability is exclusive to dedicated charging stations. Fast-charging points, such as Ionity, enable the battery to reach 80% capacity in an expedient eight minutes. Importantly, the GT's 75-kWh battery pack is furnished by Desten, a Chinese company.

Piëch Automotive is rigorously subjecting its prototypes to real-world environmental trials, ensuring that the Piëch GT adheres to exacting quality benchmarks prior to its eagerly anticipated launch. While pricing particulars remain undisclosed, the Piëch GT is projected to offer competitive pricing compared to preeminent German high-performance sports cars.
Enthusiasts can anticipate the Piëch GT's availability in the United States, Europe, and China come early 2024. An amalgamation of cutting-edge technology, remarkable performance, and rapid charging capabilities positions the Piëch GT to wield a substantial influence within the electric sports car domain, underlining Piëch Automotive's role as an inventive trailblazer in the industry. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PIECH | AUTOEX[RESS | AUTOCAR | IMBOLDN ]Note: This blog can be accessed via your smart phone.
