It has been a while since France made a truly interesting sports car, and now that they have, they seem to have nailed it. This is the Exagon Furtive-eGT made by a French manufacturer called Exagon Motors, and it is pitched as a futuristic electric sports car. This car was first announced way back in 2010.
To be showcased at Salute to Style show on The Hurlingham Club’s lawn later this month, Exagon Furtive-eGT is a four-seater sports car with a monocoque light carbon construction, and powered by two Siemens electric motors.
The bespoke electric motors make over 400 bhp, which is enough to take the eGT from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 second.
The performance is partly due to the instantaneous torque of the electric motors, and partly due to the lightweight construction with carbon-fiber/honeycomb tub and a cast aluminum rear structure. The entire body only weighs 124 kg.
Design-wise, the Exagon Furtive-eGT does not try to hide the fact that it is an electric car. Not that it looks bad, of course. The two-door, two-tone design has a certain French charm about it. You’d forgiven to mistake it for a Peugeot RCZ at first glance.
