Overview edit
The Beltoise BT01 was designed to be an all-electric competition GT, developing 394 PS (290 kW), allowing it to go from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in less than four seconds and on to a top speed of over 210 km/h (130 mph).[5] It was developed in collaboration with Spark Racing Technology, specialists in Formula E and Extreme E electric racing vehicles.[6]
A road version is expected, but will initially be built for circuit use only. After the first seven BT01s have been built, Beltoise will produce a second racing version to meet the FIA standards required for competition homologation, with a run of 20 models planned from 2023 in France and internationally.[5]
Beltoise eTechnology plans to build between 150 and 200 units of the BT01 over a five-year period worldwide, with an estimated price tag of around £130,000.[5]
Media/games edit
The Beltoise BT01 was added to the Asphalt 8: Airborne game in the Ninth Anniversary Update as a low-class-C car as a gift.[7]
