NanoFlowcell QUANT FE

Produced by the car maker NanoFlowcell, the QUANT FE is driven by four electric motors and uses two fuel tanks of electrolytic fluids, one positively charged and one negatively charged.

The flow cell is split into two halves by a membrane, with positively charged electrolyte flowing through one side and negatively charged through the other. Ion exchange takes place through the membrane, generating an electric current.

Normally, flow cells can be replenished by recharging like any other battery, or simply by replacing the fluid. The NanoFlowcell works differently. As it discharges, the water-based ‘ionic’ fluid electrolyte evaporates, leaving the storage tanks empty and ready for refilling. Quant cars can be refuelled at a pump using a two-pronged nozzle to fill both the ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ tanks at the same time.

Chief technical officer and inventor of the NanoFlowcell Nunzio La Vecchia says: "The ionic fluid is non-flammable and non-toxic, and there are no emissions or high pressures involved. As a result, he adds, on-board storage is straightforward and establishing a filling station network simple and relatively cheap".

The four-wheel-drive concept is claimed to produce 1075bhp and be capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in about 2.8sec, a time that would place the zero-emissions vehicle alongside the fastest hypercars of today.

Interestingly, NanoFlowcell is also labelling the Quant FE as "near-series maturity", suggesting that it too could influence a production model in the future. The car maker says the model has been completely redesigned since its 2015 launch, "with a keen eye on homologation requirements".

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The nanoFlowcell QUANT FE, introduced in the Enduro Update, appears between the SSC Tuatara and the Chrysler ME412'''. ''' At a MAX PRO rank of 1735, it has shown to be the most powerful electric vehicle in this update, beating the Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning. However, while it has a long nitro duration, it suffers from poor acceleration, as well as bad handling and drift, for it is long and weighing nearly 2300 kg. As such, the Silver Lightning is still the best choice.

Weirdly, the Quant FE uses V8 engine cards to pro.
