It’s not often that a small car company introduces an electric track car with supercar-like performance and a charging speed that could make your smartphone envious. You may not have heard of Baltasar yet, but that will change if you follow niche electric sports cars.
The company recently unveiled an updated version of its Revolt track car—the R concept—at the Automobile Barcelona show. It combines an ultra-lightweight construction with thoughtful aerodynamics. Unlike most track models, this car is fully electric.
The name R Concept indicates a more powerful and aggressive version of the base Revolt. The car is hand-assembled from a carbon monocoque and fitted with a chrome-molybdenum steel frame that complies with FIA standards. The suspension is made from carbon fiber, aluminum, and Kevlar to minimize weight. As a result, the curb weight is less than 800 kg. For comparison, the American Mazda MX-5 Miata weighs 273 kg more.
Details about the R Concept’s powertrain have not yet been revealed, but it is likely similar to the original 2021 Revolt. That model had two rear electric motors with a combined output of 500 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque.
The battery capacity remains unknown, but it is reported that the model uses a 700-volt architecture. The base version offers a range of over 300 miles, and fast charging to 80% takes just 5 minutes.
The Revolt R has received serious aerodynamic improvements, which is logical for a track model. It features a new front splitter, updated headlights, and redesigned front fenders. The rear is fitted with a massive carbon wing, emphasizing the car’s sporty character. The car is also shown on gold wheels and slick tires, ready for the track.
Interior details are still limited, but it is known to feature a carbon racing seat and distinctive gold pedals, designed with track needs in mind.
The final price has not been announced, nor has the exact release date, but the Revolt R is expected to cost around €450,000 (approximately $510,000 at the current exchange rate).
