# Saltwater-Powered Supercars The Quant e-Sportlimousine is Powered by NanoFlowcell Technology By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-07-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoflowcell References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/quant-e-sportlimousine-approved-europe-roads/33020/) & [nanoflowcell](http://www.nanoflowcell.com/) The Quant e-Sportlimousine is an incredibly [futuristic supercar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theory-1) that uses special 'NanoFlowcell' technology that allows it to be powered exclusively by saltwater. The NanoFlowcell electrolyte flow cell power system was developed for [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-state-battery) and is now finding its way into automotive applications. The system creates electricity from an electrochemical reaction created by two electrolyte solutions; this electricity is forwarded to the car's super capacitors. This allows the car to put out [zero emissions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-9-gt) while also giving it some pretty impressive performance statistics. It will be able to hit a top speed over 350 km/h and accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in only 2.8 seconds. It also boasts a range of more than 600 km. The car will soon be tested on public roads in Europe before it enters production. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Saltwater-powered Vehicles:** A new trend in automotive industry that utilizes saltwater as a power source to produce zero emissions. - **Electrolyte Flow Cell Technology:** A developing trend in green energy, allowing for energy storage and transportation through electrolytes to provide a sustainable source of power. - **High-performance Sustainable Vehicles:** A trend in the automotive realm aimed at creating sustainable, eco-friendly vehicles that also have high-end performance capabilities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The car industry can utilize electrolyte flow cell technology to create high-performance cars that are sustainable, fuel-efficient, and produce zero emissions. - **Green Energy:** The green energy sector could use electrolyte flow cell technology to create sustainable and renewable energy sources that could power electrical grids, - **Transportation and Logistics:** Transportation and logistics companies could utilize saltwater-powered vehicles with high-performance capabilities to reduce their carbon footprints and improve efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-eqxx.md) - [Futuristic Solar-Powered Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightyear-0.md) - [Hydrogen-Electric Racecars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missionh24.md) - [Audacious Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-supercars.md) - [High-Powered Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-bev-sports.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Supercar Teasers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-a4810.md) - [Electric Limited-Edition Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-extreme.md) - [Rugged Fully-Electric SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-yangwang-u8-suv.md) - [Breakneck Speed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-air-grand-touring-performance.md)
