The GreenGT is based on a carbon fiber chassis.
Developed and built in Switzerland, it is the first step toward tomorrows electric racecars, be it for sprint or endurance races.
It demonstrates today that EV racecars can compete at the highest level of todays thermical competition cars.

GreenGT now focuses on three product strategies:
1. Continue development of the GreenGT in order to bring it to a Le Mans compatible level using quick battery changes
2. Downscale the concept to offer a turnkey electric drive train at a competitve price for a monotype racing class
3. Develop and build the GreenGT Twenty-4 supercar, based on the current innovative and exclusive GreenGT technology
