The UK debut of the all-electric
Atomik 500 will take place at
Salon Privé (21 – 23 July 2010),
a ground-breaking new vehicle
that promises supercar
performance, with city-car size.
Paris-based maker, Atomik Cars,
will bring two Atomik 500s to
Salon Privé, showing potential
customers a tantalising
combination of exclusivity and
zero-emission performance.
Launched just last month, the
Atomik 500 claims 0-100km/h in
under five seconds and a range
of up to 200km, its advanced
battery technology clothed in
the recognisable shape of a
city-car.
“Atomik Cars offer a preview of
tomorrow’s technology, in cars
you can buy and use today. Our
cars offer avant-garde design,
ambition and technological skill
and Salon Privé gives us the
perfect platform to reach
customers looking for just that
exclusivity,” said Jerome
Griffart of Atomik Cars.
The startling new vehicle is a
perfect example of the
fascinating collection of
independent sports cars that are
presented at Salon Privé each
year, their makers acutely aware
that the event delivers a an
audience of genuine customers,
at a fraction of the resources
required for a mainstream auto
show.
Also expected to return to this
year’s event will be German
marque, Veritas, which is
expected to unveil a brand new
model, following the success of
its RSIII Spyder at last year’s
event.
Said Salon Privé co-founder,
David Bagley: “Our philosophy
has always been that Salon Privé
should be a showcase for the
exotic, unusual and exclusive
supercars, alongside their more
recognisable contemporaries.
With Atomik and Veritas this
year, we are continuing that
proud tradition.”
Salon Privé brings together a
social and motoring occasion, on
the famous lawns of London’s
Hurlingham Club, offering
Europe’s largest single display
of luxury cars, supercars and
some of the finest classic cars,
in the stylish surroundings of a
British Summer Season event. |
