Artega Scalo
In 2015 an electric version of the Artega GT was
showcased, powered by two rear-mounted high power electric engines. Its
name was Scalo, after a winning Westphalian stallion with the same
name. This concept car sowed the seed for a further developed model,
with much more power, greater performance and even greater range. The
target range was 500km.
The Artega Scalo with a purely electric drive is the
direct successor of the Artega GT, which inspired car fans around the
world. The new German electric sports car promises pure driving
enjoyment with aerospace genes.
An impressive acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 3.6
seconds and an electronically limited maximum speed of 155 mph
characterise the Artega Scalo. The range of up to 250 mls and the
charging time are convincing as well. With a 64 kW DC quick charge, it
is possible to charge the battery completely in less than one hour.
The Artega Scalo has two Voltabox high-performance
electrical motors with a total output of 300 kW and a torque of 575
ft-lb - using technology from aerospace. The energy storage is a world
novelty: Lithium-ion battery modules, combined with perfectly customized
SuperCaps (high-performance capacitors).
Pursuing the electric power route Artega has
dispensed with petroleum engines and wants to promote the switch to
electromobility also in the arena of super sports cars. Consequently,
Artega has now sold the know-how, the production facilities, and tools
for the Artega GT to US company Saleen, which will build the vehicle
with a different engines in China under its own brand.
The focus of Artega is now on producing an exclusive
car that embodies great looks, stunning performance, luxury and
practicality, for customers with a unique lifestyle. The target is to
become the alternative German super sports car maker, offering high
performance cars for everyday use, with a car at the very top of its
market segment.

About Artega and the Artega GT
The Company
The German Artega GT sports car, which was first
launched back in 2007, continues to be a real head-turner – both on the
road and among the cognoscenti – with its still-innovative lightweight
structural design and its maker’s special attention to the conservation
of resources.
Artega GmbH, to give it its full name, has meanwhile
returned to the family ownership of the company’s founder, Klaus Frers,
who has taken on the mission of developing the Artega brand and putting
the firm’s accumulated know-how to work in creating a sustainable
corporate approach for carmakers and their suppliers.
An extra feature was added in 2008 to Artega’s
lightweight construction and onboard power-supply architecture: electric
traction. Artega can now offer an unequalled range of products, thanks
to its programme of cooperation with paragon AG (a supplier of
electronics , display and control systems and body kinematics), and a
paragon subsidiary called Voltabox Deutschland GmbH (which produces
li-ion battery systems and onboard chargers).
The outcome of all this is Artega already creating the intelligent mobility of the future.
Iconic Artega GT
After a development phase lasting just 20 months,
and a successful application for European short-production-run approval,
the period from 2009 to 2012 saw the production and delivery of 153
Artega GT. The Artega GT continues even now to delight enthusiasts, and
has won a place among the world’s best-known sports cars.
Some specialist magazines have even earmarked the
Artega GT as a “future classic”. Owners from Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Japan, Mexico,
Malaysia and China are all equally fired up by the incredible driving
experience that possessing this very special vehicle entails.
The knowledge and skills gained from this
extraordinary project have created a unique worldwide combination of
expertise in many areas. The long list includes electronics,
electromechanical and mechanical systems, kinematics, on-board network
architecture, electric traction, simulation techniques, active and
passive safety, innovative materials, lightweight construction, road
testing, validation, homologation and type-approval, project management
and small-scale series production.
