Back in April 2021, a new Spanish company told TG about its bespoke, lightweight 500bhp roadster. That was the Baltasar Revolt, and deliveries were originally scheduled to take place in 2022.
That didn't quite happen, although we're now told the Revolt is entering the final stage of its homologation ahead of a proper launch in 2026. So, to drum up some renewed interest ahead of that launch, there is now a new track-only variant of the Revolt called… the Revolt R. Yeah, not the most creative name.

The aero looks much more creative, with Baltasar sticking on a giant active rear wing, a 'bespoke front end', new side skirts and a whopping great diffuser. There's also an FIA-compliant steel frame chassis underneath covered in full carbon fibre body panels.
There's also a single carbon race seat, magnesium wheels fitted with slick tyres and a pushrod suspension setup with bits made from carbon, Kevlar and aerospace-grade aluminium. Heck, the whole thing only weighs 800kg. You might like
Baltasar hasn't actually shared any details on the powertrain, but we know the standard road car was supposed to get a twin-motor rear-wheel drive setup with 500bhp and 738lb ft of torque. Should be pretty nippy, then. Oh, and the charging should be equally rapid, with the company claiming a top up to 80 per cent in just five minutes.
Of course, it's likely to be a fairly small battery to allow for that, but if the circuit you're at has enough rapid chargers you'll be ready to go again before you've even had a chance to study your last lap data.

The price? Ah, well Baltasar tells us that there's 'no confirmed launch date or official price' as yet, but when it does go into production it should cost around €450,000. Yikes. Makes the £235k BAC Mono R look like a bit of a bargain, doesn't it?
