It\u2019s hand-built with a carbon fiber monocoque and includes a chromoly steel roll cage that meets FIA specs. Suspension parts are a mix of carbon fiber, aluminum, and Kevlar, all in the name of weight savings. The end result is a curb weight of under 800 kg (1,763 lbs). For comparison, a US.-spec Mazda MX-5 Miata weighs 273 kg (601 lbs) more, coming in at 1,073 kg (2,366 lbs).<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>Baltasar hasn\u2019t revealed powertrain specs for the R yet, but it likely uses the same setup introduced with the original Revolt back in 2021. That car featured two rear-mounted electric motors delivering a combined 500 horsepower and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BALTASAR-REVOLT-R-CONCEPT-0007.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" This EV Track Monster Weighs Less Than A Miata And Charges Before Your Coffee\u2019s Ready\" width=\"2550\" height=\"1700\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BALTASAR-REVOLT-R-CONCEPT-0007-1024x683.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><figcaption>Baltasar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Battery capacity remains a mystery, but the R reportedly uses a 700-volt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/electric-vehicles\/\">electrical<\/a> architecture. For context, the standard model offers a driving range of over 300 miles (482 km), and Baltasar claims an 80% recharge takes just five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Several key aerodynamic upgrades have been made to the Revolt R, which makes sense given its track-only focus. At the front, it gets a new splitter, updated headlights, and reshaped front quarter panels. Around the back, there\u2019s a towering carbon fiber rear wing that leaves no doubt about the car\u2019s intentions. It\u2019s also been shown with gold-painted wheels wrapped in slick tires, completing the track-ready look.<\/p>\n<p>While full interior photos haven\u2019t been released, Baltasar has shown a few key details. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/03\/ex-tesla-alums-debut-new-electric-roadster-named-to-taunt-elon-musk\/\">The car<\/a> features a carbon fiber racing seat and distinctive gold pedals, both clearly built with track performance in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing hasn\u2019t been finalized, and there\u2019s no official launch date yet, but Baltasar says to expect the Revolt R to start at around \u20ac450,000 or around $510,000 at current exchange rates when it goes on sale. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baltasar<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baltasar\u2019s Revolt R concept is a lightweight, all-electric track car with aero upgrades.
