A new all-electric supercar has been revealed, with the promise of celebrating the feeling of being behind the wheel.
The Apex AP-0 will feature a 90kWh battery unit that weighs 550kg, about half of the car’s overall 1,200kg weight - impressively light for an EV. It promises 650bhp and will be rear-wheel drive, with a 0-60mph time of 2.1 seconds and a top speed of 190mph.
It is said to be capable of 320 miles of range with fast charging capability meaning the battery can be topped up to 80% in under 15 minutes.
At its heart is a carbon-fibre tub that’s wide enough for two seats, with carbon-fibre body panels on top contributing to the low weight. The cabin has a glass canopy and a ’feet-up’ driving position inspired by Le Mans racing cars.
This racing inspiration is used throughout the exterior design too, with aerodynamic touches such as a Formula 1-style rear fin. However, it’s the underbody that is said to be key to its aerodynamic performance, with its flat floor utilising ’ground effect’ principles that remove the need for a rear spoiler, which would increase drag.
Apex Motors was founded in 2018 and operates exclusively out of the UK. It says its core specialisms include high-performance automotive and Formula 1 race car engineering.
Prices for the Apex AP-0 start at £150,000 before tax and deposits can now be made with production slated to begin at the end of the year.
