About this project

This Kickstarter campaign is dedicated to funding the first, and most critical, phase of the Roseto GT: design, build, and market the concept vehicle (also known as a prototype).

We are currently working to design and build a 2-seater, battery electric vehicle that is fast, lightweight, and fun to drive - the Roseto GT. We plan to utilize cutting edge technology and materials. Betting on the tech of tomorrow gives us a leg up on more traditional automakers, who have invested large fortunes in the methods of yesterday and cannot upgrade their processes as easily.

How will we pull this off?

Our comprehensive team of experts, once fully assembled, will design and engineer this vehicle from scratch. We will then breathe life into the concept by manufacturing a physical car. Once the vehicle passes thorough safety inspections and meets other government regulations, in addition to offering the driving experience we hoped it would, we will begin to exhibit the car at auto shows across the country.

Immediate goal:

  • Design and build a fun to drive, high-performing electric vehicle

Long term goals of the project:

  • Accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles
  • Reduce dependence on foreign oil
  • Advance the technology behind automotive engineering

Risks and challenges

Electric vehicles are largely unexplored territory, and we face the challenge of blazing our own trail. If the technology we need does not yet exist, we will have to invent it. Thankfully, Tesla has released their brilliant patents to the public, which we would be foolish not to reference for our own work!

Most people in the auto world are familiar with traditional gasoline fueled combustion engines; thus, another challenge will be to acquaint these auto experts with the new drive systems we will be developing. Perhaps our biggest challenge will be to overcome the negative stigma that electric cars are facing today, especially with gear heads.

There will certainly be growing pains, even for the most experienced among us; however, we will cultivate an insanely strong sense of team and always stay focused on our very simple mission: to build a fully-electric, performance vehicle and put it into production.
