Break old patterns, becoming the first “social” automotive company in history, through an "open source" project created thanks to a crowdfunding campaign mainly made by passion, ideas and suggestions from the web, far from the traditional industries’ logics that dominate the current scenario. A dream for everyone who wants to be part of the project and would like to contribute individually to make it real. ZAVA is each one of you!!!

Let’s come back to the passion we had when we were kids, when innovation and dream went hand in hand as in gaming, much like the philosophy of the automotive industry at the beginning of its history. Can you imagine what we could do?

Because that's how we see car’s world.

Conceiving, defining, and developing such a complex project is possible only through the involvement of as many minds, passions and ideas as possible, thanks to tools and possibilities that were not available before today.

But a project and an initiative can’t really be called "social" if their achievements are not made available to those who have contributed to it. That’s why ZAVA innovative approach will go beyond the development and market introduction of its electric Hypercar PrometheuS. Thanks to dedicated business divisions, ZAVA has planned to grow its brand through specific activities such as Design, R&D and Racing. The ultimate target is to make available “open-source” the best and most innovative technological solutions developed for the PrometheuS Hypercar, so that they can easily be implemented as a basis for tomorrow’s e-mobility products for everyone.

Starting from Italian heritage and experience in Supercar development, ZAVA will offer a next generation Hypercar with the unique technical solution of the BEV powertrain.
The “Torque Vectoring” electric motors on each wheel, the four wheel steering system, the electric active suspensions, the “Formula 1 like” dynamic, the accelerations up to 3.0 G, the driver center position and the flat batteries on the floor, they make PrometheuS the new Hypercar’s benchmark.
The aero cockpit offers top visibility, transparent OLED screens, holographic feedback and 360 degree cameras with radar and laser sensors.
Innovative neuronal connection technologies between driver and control systems monitor the human’s physical status, maximizing performance and response to driver inputs, turning the vehicle into an extension of the body.
Target specs are: over 1 MegaWatt of power and 1.600 Newton-Meters of torque, more than 350 km/h of speed and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in less than 2 seconds - the world’s fastest among road vehicles. An induction “fast charge” system offers range over 500 km.
Due to its exclusivity, the production will be limited to 50 units in 5 years.
Every customer could also «create» his own vehicle. In this way, each unit becomes a «one off», with a «NOT REPLICATING» warranty for the specific bespoke modifications.
The result will be a masterpiece in all details.
