Did You Know the Tiny Nation of Liechtenstein Has a Car Company?
The latest concept from NanoFlowcell will make its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
Called the Quant 40Volt, the latest concept car from NanoFlowcell is bound for production, according to the small Liechtenstein-based automaker. For years now, NanoFlowcell has impressed with its Quant concept cars at previous Geneva Motor Shows and we might finally have one hitting the public roadways.
The company released the above teaser ahead of the car’s debut, saying that the 40Volt runs on an electrolyte liquid called “bi-ION” that was developed by NanoFlowcell Research. The electrolyte liquid is said to be “non-toxic, non-flammable and environmentally compatible.” Cost of the liquid is estimated to be less than 10 cents per liter.

Looks like their concept car is a take - in quite clear form - of the mclaren rear end. Hardly original ....... and the europeans have moaned about Koreans and chinese copying 'their' ideas Will head the way of the most recent small sports car start up Zenos. Adieu
The car is called the "48Volt", not "40Volt" as you've incorrectly printed here. It's pretty obvious by looking at the picture you've got posted here and also by looking at most other coverage elsewhere which confirms the same.
