This is the Baltasar Revolt R, an all-electric concept car with supercar specs and race-ready hardware. Built in Spain and unveiled at the Automobile Barcelona Show, it is an evolution of the original Baltasar Revolt, an electric roadster that was first shown in 2021. While the production version of the roadcar is still some time away, ahead of its 2026 launch, the R Concept previews what a track-only version could look like.
Coming in at 600 pounds less than the already lightweight Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Revolt R tips the scales at just 1,763 pounds, which is very impressive for an EV. The chassis is made from a blend of carbon fiber and FIA-certified chromoly steel, with magnesium wheels painted in a contrasting gold finish. Suspension components, too, are high-tech, made from carbon fiber, Kevlar, and aerospace-grade aluminum. On board, there’s just one FIA-grade carbon-bucket seat and a quick-response Formula–style steering wheel.
Baltasar hasn’t disclosed the complete power figures just yet, but the road-going Revolt already delivers 500 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque from the twin electric motor setup. Combined with a radical aero-package, which includes a front splitter and a rear diffuser that works with an active rear wing with Formula 1-style DRS tech, the Revolt R positions itself to serve as a threat to an elite rank of already established lightweight track cars. Think models like the Radical SR10, Caterham 620R, the BAC Mono, and the Ariel Atom 4.
However, unlike most of its gas-powered rivals, the Revolt R is electric and packs a 700-volt battery architecture with Baltasar claiming a recharge time of just five minutes to 80%, with their proprietary DC fast charger. With an estimated $510,000 starting price, the Baltasar Revolt R is positioned considerably higher than models like the $150,000 Radical SR10 and the BAC Mono, which’ll set you back $200,000, and the Ariel E-Nomad is priced just shy of $90,000. However, compared to the likes of the McMurtry Spéirling PURE, the 1,000 all-electric hypercar that generates 4,400 pounds of downforce and costs $1.04 million, the Revolt R seems like a bargain. Watch this space.
