There’s a new dog in the [electric supercar fight.](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/10301/ride-along-as-the-nio-ep9-electric-supercar-runs-the-nurburgring-in-645-9>) The latest entry is from a new company called [Elextra](<https://www.elextracars.com/>), which plans to launch a car by the same name next year. A Swiss supercar that's built by hand in Germany with Italian looks sounds pretty promising, and the CEO of the firm that designed it [spoke with *Autocar*](<https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/670bhp-elextra-ev-launch-2019-porsche-mission-e-rival>) about the details.

To start, it won’t be easy to get your hands on one - they’re only planning on making 100 of them. And though it’s still in the concept phase, Classic Design CEO Robert Palm shared a few projected stats on what the car will be able to do.

Two electric motors will power all four wheels making a combined peak of 680 horsepower. The car will rocket from 0-62 mph in under 2.3 seconds with a top speed of just 155 mph, and range at highway speeds will be about 373 miles.

Finally, there’s the price. This car is expected to sell for around a half-million dollars when it goes on sale in 2019. Elextra is hoping to have a working prototype about a year from now to prove their lofty claims.

The concept that’s been revealed has an exotic look, but also four doors. It’s sort of a liftback sedan, kind of like the Tesla Model S, but it still has the look of a supercar. The body, structure, and wheels are all carbon fiber to save weight.

The Elextra will go head to head with the [Porsche Mission E,](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/8215/porsche-mission-e-will-be-a-track-ready-ev>) the [Nio EP9,](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/10230/nio-ep9-electric-supercar-sets-nurburgring-lap-record-of-6-minutes-45-9-seconds>) and of course, the high-performance variants of the [Tesla Model S.](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/10254/tempers-flare-after-tesla-model-s-p100d-dominates-eighth-mile-drag-race-showdown>)
