After the Artega company filed for bankruptcy in July 2012, production has ceased and the company has been bought by German automotive supplier firm Paragon AG. Artega has relaunched in 2015 with two brand new models, the Scalo and the Karo, at the Frankfurt motor show. The Scalo is a two-door two-seat electric sports car while the Karo is a recreational vehicle similar to a quad bike.
The Scalo is made from polyurethane combined with carbonfibre and is described as having a lightweight modular chassis. The car has two electric motors powering the rear wheels with a total output of 402 hp and 575lb ft, with a claimed 0-100 km/h of 3.6sec and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h to protect the motors.
Drive to the rear axle is through a single-stage central gear. Torque vectoring allows power to be split between the rear wheels, with more or less power delivered to each wheel as required, maximising traction.
It has a 250-mile range from its 37kW battery, which has an output of 411 volts. A 'fast' charge can replenish the battery in less than an hour. A three-phase supply recharges the battery in three hours with a household socket taking 10 hours.

I always liked the little Artega sports car. At the time powered by a VW V6. But that project went bust, as the electronic car supplier Paragon, that was the owner, went bankrupt.
The original design was done by no one less than Henrik Fisker.
Funny to see the project reborn as electric vehicle. There is another project based on the original Artega concept, the small new Spyker B6 Venator. But that has changed already again.
Maybe they will make it this time with an attractive body and smart electrical power.
