Body, Weight
Supercars were built to achieve better road
holding with a lower center of gravity and larger track widths, therefore
flatter and often about 2 m wide, on the other hand the most sporty
design with mid-engine practically does not allow 2 rows of seats. So since the
beginning of our development 1973 we planned 3 comfortable seats in a spacious
interior with 2 strong tilting up armrests (for perfect lateral support while
cornering) for easy driver access to the middle of a bench (even possible to lay down), adjustable pedals, 4-point safety belts (on
request 6-point-, airbags), and comfortable air suspension for touring and
offroad, and a large boot.
Targa-like with oversized rollover cage : 2 pneumatically opening gull
wings, easy to remove and to store at the rear, like a sunroof (on request).

Chassis, Body,
Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels
Oversized dimensioned monocoque
safety cell bent from a ~3200 x ~2100 x 4 mm aluminum-sheet or on request 2,5 mm titanium-sheet, welded to high
side box framework (flank protection); oversized dimensioned
tubular framework in the front and in the back interconnected by basis tubes at the bottom and 4 rollover bars at top (2 lengthwise in a patented trapezoidal structure from the front bottom to the rear bottom, 2 crosswise)
In the 80s, because of various in
practice successfully concluded framework studies, we as composite experts since the 60s decided to combine the advantages of a tubular
framework with those of a economically repairable metallic (and not extremely expensive composite-)
monocoque, and to develop a
polyvalent vehicle concept combining by height-adjustable air suspension
supercar driving characteristics with those of a touring- and offroad-car. The new aerodynamically optimized
front body for more downforce and the rear body with a “van” shape boot hood can be laminated on request out of superlight Zylon/Carbon
visible fabric composite (then possible with rear spoiler).

Road Performance
Speed limit 300 km/h by offroad-/all season tire compromise (see above), acceleration 0-300 km/h <15 sec., wheelie bars; lower performance data
possible depending on electric motor respectively turbine selection, which will not be
recognizable on the outside of the vehicle.
Since
speed was already limited almost everywhere in the world in 1973, the objective of our vehicle development
has always been to achieve (based on reliable US engines, on request tuned)
best acceleration values in hypercar level by using high-torque turbodiesel
engines : The ratio of torque (~1400 Nm + electric drive) to curb weight (~1400 kg, RTW ~1:1)
is almost higher than of extremely
more expensive hypercars with top speeds of nowadays until 500 km/h.
The joy of driving
shouldn’t be achieved by high speed but by AllTracks agility & safety.
Exclusive Overall
Concept of chassis and axle design, body, and drive
technology
Weight reduction through monocoque
/ trapezoidal tubular framework
construction (patented, only possible by central driver's seat
position) despite oversizing even for tough offroad use, low center of gravity;
largely seawater resistant robust long-term capital
good, easy to maintain and to repair; on customer request handmade under
rigorous QC during until 10.000 hours of highly qualified craftsmanship
'like in old times'
Optimized downforce by body
modifications (aerodynamics) and axial fan rims
(see above) Incomparable road holding and
driving comfort by cornering similar to motorcycles for tire-ideal camber angle (ASC***)
Transverse engine with high masses 'turns'
the vehicle slightly forwards when accelerating and backwards when braking, i.e. avoids a
possible negative effect during extreme cornering.
On request for the first time
DCT with all advantages of torque converters (DCTCT) :
comfortable
seamless gear shifting until shifting with torque shock for higher acceleration
values possible than with DCT - but without increased clutch wear !

Complete
instrumentation, on request also by displays
On request cool box, ElectronicStabilityProgram, DampTronic Sky*** or Multimatic*** shock absorbers, etc.
Spacious AllTracks Gran Turismo, on request measure-made according to passenger sizes, with a 500 l boot and air suspension programmable by PLC (on request
damping***, too) for highway, country road, adjustable in height to all
terrain characteristics 'à la Paris-Dakar', comfortable (for the spine),
reliable and inexpensive also for a daily short haul (e.g. to go to work, for
shopping)
The
responsible 'purist' of such an extraordinary vehicle enjoys his liberty and highest
primary (through best road holding, best brakes, best acceleration) and
secondary safety (safety cell; depending on syn- or biofuel lowest until no fire risk),
and likes to be overtaken ‘relaxed’.
Base
price with 1.000 HP V8 petrol
engines (see above) from € 300.000.-- net, other versions and extras on request by personal advice
After Dieselgate beginning September 2015 and more and more experiences with battery-powered electric vehicles, ships and aeroplanes, the advantages and
disadvantages became more and more obvious in practical comparison to the situation before.
Now we remember what all well-informed experts in science, R&D and
especially (petro)chemistry have known for decades and should have introduced
long ago to protect the environment in all areas of traffic : syn- and biofuel (SAF, HVO) from plants that are not grown in
competition with food, and for which there is no need of prior deforestation.
Due to the German Federal Government, it can be assumed that no general speed
limit will be introduced on highways in a foreseeable future. A driver accustomed
to speeds of only a little bit more than 130 km/h will never be able to achieve a proximate travel time with a battery-powered
electric vehicle on longer distances compared to the Sparta Nature neither in Germany nor in other (European) countries. Apart from that, curiosity by discovering suddenly in the rearview
mirror “crab eye lights” (see above) and something unknown very wide & flat
below, from experience, practically always motivates other drivers to change to
the right lane at once.
As described above, various new technologies are
still in development phases, and when these will be completed, the costs of e.g. ceramic gas
turbines with recuperators, for example, will be still very high
in the early stages. However, the engine compartment behind the row of seats
offers sufficient space for a future conversion to practically any imaginable
drive technology, without which we could also offer the Sparta.
