Piëch Automotive
Swiss car manufacturer
Piëch Automotive is an electric car manufacturer based in Zug, Switzerland, founded in August 2017 by Anton "Toni" Piëch and Rea Stark Rajcic.
History
Anton Piëch, son of former Volkswagen Group CEO Ferdinand Piëch, and great-grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, founded Piëch Automotive in 2017 with industrial designer Rea Stark Rajcic.
Piëch Automotive presented their first model, the GT Mark Zero (or Mk0), at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show.
The particularity of Piëch Automotive's engineering is its modular concept, which makes it possible to keep software and hardware components up to date, in order to keep up with developments and technical progress, so the powertrain is interchangeable, while maintaining the structure and bodywork of the vehicle. The entire vehicle concept is designed and engineered for lean manufacturing with external partners without vertically integrating any production in the company.
Mark Zero concept
The Piëch Mark Zero GT, whose first sketches date back to 2017, was presented as a concept car at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019.
Specifications
The car is a two-seater sports coupé. The first models were planned to be delivered in 2022, equipped with electric motors and a battery positioned on the central tunnel as far as the rear axle, for a weight of 1,800 kg. The Mark Zero will be able to accommodate thermal, hybrid or fuel cell powertrains thanks to its modular platform, which was planned to be used for an SUV and a "Piëch sedan" in a second phase.
Powertrain
The Mark Zero is equipped with three electric motors, a 150 kW asynchronous electric motor mounted on the front axle and two independent synchronous electric motors mounted on the rear axle of 150 kW each, providing a total power of 600 hp.

Why this record matters
“Piëch Automotive” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Piëch, Automotive and Swiss provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q61965086. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2019 and 2022.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
