The world's first graphene-based sports car to be presented next month

The Spanish car company Spania GTA announced the unveiling of its 925 hp model's latest evolution - a super-sportscar with a chassis and bodywork that have been created using graphene with carbon fibre, titanium and Kevlar. The car will be presented in the 85th Geneva International Motor Show from 5th to 15th of March under the name GTA Spano.

The car was enabled by a collaboration between Spania GTA and the Spanish Graphenano. The GTA Spano will be the first car in the world to incorporate this technology into several of its components. The car will be of a limited production line with only 99 cars planned for release. 

According to the company, the car's enhacement with graphene is meant to be a major qualitative leap, and the car has its own new engine V10 twin Turbo 7,990 cm3, with a 925 hp and 1220 Nm torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 Km/h in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of over 370 km/h.
