But the press conference marked the first time that we got to see the brand-new concept cars outside of company renderings. As we've said in the past, Nanoflowcell's technology may never amount to anything, but the outfit's concept cars will certainly be remembered, as will chief Nunzio La Vecchia's perfect hair and three-piece suits – this year, he dropped the understated black in favor of Joker-style purple. Quite a look.</p> <div class="article_img"><a href="/web/20150316115943/http://www.gizmag.com/nanoflowcell-quant-f-quantino/36482/pictures#23" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316115943im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/nanoflowcell-geneva-2015-27.jpg" width="" alt="Nunzio La Vecchia poses with the Quant F in Geneva "/></a></div> <p>"The performance figures and ranges that we are currently attaining without any harmful emissions with our Nanoflowcell technology in all-electric mode in test drives on the race track and on public roads provide us with a highly positive outlook," La Vecchia says. "Nanoflowcell AG is on the right track. In future, any professional examination of the available alternatives for electric mobility will have to include flow cell technology. Performance, range, zero harmful emissions and a simple refueling process for the ionic liquid without any time-consuming charging – the Nanoflowcell offers a host of advantages as a new drive technology."</p> <p>Given that it detailed the Quant F and Quantino last month, we really didn't learn anything new about the cars in Geneva. To recap, the Quant F is a more powerful, performance-packed evolution of last year's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316115943/http://www.gizmag.com/900-hp-supercar-flow-battery/31091/" target="_blank">Quant E</a>, Nanoflowcell's debut concept car. With four motors powered by a flow battery with 500 liters (132 US gal) of ionic fluids sloshing around, the car has a peak output of 1,075 hp (802 kW), a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration as low as 2.8 seconds, a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h), and a range up to 500 miles (800 km) – on paper, at least.</p> <div class="article_img"><a href="/web/20150316115943/http://www.gizmag.com/nanoflowcell-quant-f-quantino/36482/pictures#16" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316115943im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/nanoflowcell-geneva-2015-19.JPG" width="" alt="A new feature of the Quant F is a disengaging front axle that allows it to drive in either..."/></a></div> <p>The Quant F gets some modest mechanical and styling revision when compared to the Quant E, which is also on display at Nanoflowcell's Geneva booth. Most interestingly, it features a disengage-able front axle, allowing for both 4WD and RWD driving. It also features a new set of Q-shaped headlamps, an active rear spoiler and a new wheel design. The interior appears largely untouched, save for some new colors.</p> <p>The Quantino is Nanoflowcell's first foray into what would seem like its true destiny: a clean, efficient commuter car built for the masses (or perhaps a wealthy subset of the masses). It uses a smaller, low-voltage version of Nanoflowcell's flow power system, providing up to 136 hp (101 kW) and a seemingly too-good-to-be-true range of 620 miles (1,000 km).</p> <div class="article_img"><a href="/web/20150316115943/http://www.gizmag.com/nanoflowcell-quant-f-quantino/36482/pictures#9" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316115943im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/nanoflowcell-geneva-2015-10.JPG" width="" alt="At 3.91 m (154 in), the Quantino is significantly smaller than the Quant F or E (Photo: C...."/></a></div> <p>Nanoflowcell has also started talking more about other applications and future plans, saying that it's currently working on potential partnerships and considering an initial public offering (IPO).</p> <p>"We have extended our research and development activities into other fields and industry sectors," says La Vecchia. "The flow cell technology is also of interest for sectors like aerospace, railways and shipping, road haulage, and housing construction and building services.

Realizing he was better off making cynical comments from afar than actually getting involved in all that mess, he turned away from matters of government and news to cover the things that really matter: outdoor recreation, cool cars, technology, wild gadgets and all forms of other toys. He's happily following the wisdom of his father who told him that if you find something you love to do, it won't really be work. <a href="/web/20150316115943/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/">All articles by C.C.
