\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Elon Musk, the man, the myth, the entrepreneur and innovator extraordinaire, has long been a shining example of the self made go getter, and an example of innovation in the private sector.\u00a0 His luxury high performance vehicle brand, Tesla Motors, has been setting the standard for high performance electric vehicles in recent years.\u00a0 But\u00a0Elon Musk and Tesla Motors\u00a0has a quasi government and quasi non-profit beast of an electric vehicle ready to\u00a0make some very big waves on the EV scene.\u00a0 The Quimera All Electric GT (AEGT).<\/p>\n

The Quimera All Electric GT\u00a0\u00a0possesses three electric motors\u00a0which distribute\u00a0700 bhp.\u00a0\u00a0Sprinting from\u00a00-62 in 3.5 seconds and weighing in with a carbon fiber\u00a0body at\u00a0just over 3,300 lbs.\u00a0 This weight places it at\u00a01,200 lbs. heavier than the ToyotaP001 we here at Vroom wrote about last week\u2026but the apparently that 1,200 lbs. is going somewhere, because the ToyotaP001 isn\u2019t doing 0-62 in 3.5 seconds.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0Quimera All Electric GT (AEGT) is not a production model from any particular auto manufacturer, but is actually the result of a collaboration between various public and private, government and industry based organizations seeking to\u00a0develop more efficient and high performance sustainable transportation technology for the urban center of the near future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AEGT is a living laboratory to test all the selected technologies,\u201d said Alfonso Martinez, executive mechanical engineering director for Altran, the main technology provider for the AEGT project. \u201cThis first prototype has been designed in a very short time just to prove the validity of some unique design concepts and test the main performance targets of the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model Toyota,\u00a0Chevy, Ford, or any other\u00a0EV model from auto manufacturers\u00a0who are doing exciting things in the way of electric vehicle technology, at any of their respective Phoenix Valley dealerships.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations in the way of electric vehicle technology, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elon Musk, the man, the myth, the entrepreneur and innovator extraordinaire, has long been a shining example of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1715,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-1714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-auto-news","tag-featured","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nNew Electric Racing Concept Raises the Bar<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Quimera All Electric GT (AEGT) EV Supercar Supersport Vehicle Elon Musk Tesla Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/new-electric-racing-concept-raises-the-bar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Electric Racing Concept Raises the Bar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Quimera All Electric GT (AEGT) EV Supercar Supersport Vehicle Elon Musk Tesla Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/new-electric-racing-concept-raises-the-bar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
