[Auto] Olympian Model 01: praising the classics since electrification

[Noticias ALEJANDRO]

Most new electric cars follow a futuristic design trend that helps them differentiate themselves from the rest. However, there are also others who want to seek differentiation through classic lines and it could make a lot of sense. From the United States comes a company founded in 2021 that wants to change the rules and focus on aesthetics or quality of production above other factors. Its first model is the Olympian Model 01 and it is an electric vehicle that is already accepting orders in the American market.

 

 

This firm established in New York has created a new platform to give life to electric vehicles of a very different nature. The Model 01 is an ode to the classics of the beginning of the last century, with its suggestive and contoured lines that were lost. The rounded headlights stand out (with LED technology, of course), that triangle-shaped grille and the legendary spoked wheels. The two-tone paint on the body gives it a touch, while the rear is reminiscent of those teardrop-shaped models, including vertical taillights.

 

 

 

The chassis offers a significant degree of rigidity and is made impact-proof thanks to carbon fiber and titanium reinforcements. In the cabin, safety also stands out, in addition to minimalism. The invasive screens that current cars are used to do not appear and 80% of the buttons have been eliminated. In its place there is a Head-Up Display and its own operating system that relies on voice control for most functions. The circular instrumentation clocks have that charm that only the classics had.

The Olympian Model 01 is a purely electric model that uses a motor with 310 HP and 414 Nm of torque, enough to move it. It has no sporting aspirations, as it is a 4.96 meter long sedan that weighs 2,045 kg. However, it achieves 0 to 96 km/h in 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 257 km/h. It is a propulsion car with a battery of 82 kWh in the case of the four-door model and 48 kWh in the two-door model. This means that the autonomy reaches 491 kilometers in the first and 325 kilometers in the second.
