Now that’s what an EV should be: A.) I’m very excited, and, B.) It’s British.
We need to get May knighted.
He hates the royals
He'll call out the queen is german
This is entertaining, we need more of this.
Nice to see one of you guys go through the engineering logic of why certain parts of the car are located in the car eg reasoning. The future is 200bhp at a price tag of 2.2 million pounds yeah its a snip I will buy one not !!! The speed of the door needs some works lotus man lol !!!
It's very impressive but I feel as though we've already reached the upper limit of how fast a car like this can be. Factor that with the reality that 2000hp electrically is delivered in the same way as 200hp with no noise, no gears that you can change, always awd and that there's no reason to have the battery pack anywhere else and so electric cars no matter how fast are going to be homogeneous and ultimately boring. Variety not pure speed is what makes cars interesting.
