The Artega Scalo is a rear-wheel-drive electric sports car made by the German automaker Artega succeeding the now-discontinued Artega SE.
Recent Changes[]
The Scalo Superelletra debuted at the 2017 Geneva Auto Show. The car's name combines that of the earlier Scalo with a portmanteau of the Italian Superleggera and elettrica, indicating light weight and electric drive. Designed by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, the new car was longer than the original Scalo and featured a new carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. Motive power is still electric, with a quartet of motors, one at each wheel, capable of producing a total of 760.6 kW (1,020 hp). The car is to carry the driver and two passengers, seated three-abreast with the driver in the middle.
Overview[]
The Scalo first appeared at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show. A refined version of the SE, the Scalo was considered the successor to the GT by Artega. Power came from two Voltabox electric motors that combined to produce 300 kW (402.3 hp) and 779.6 N⋅m (575 ft⋅lb). The actively-cooled battery pack could store 37kWh of energy at 411 volts and combined Lithium-ion battery cells with supercapacitors. The name of the car was borrowed from that of a famous racehorse.
