It is just slightly bigger than the Aussie legends cars, theres a good interview they did today with the driver, will have to find it on youtube.
Super limited run of 100 units I think worldwide and almost sold out.

Or for those who love Goodwood you can buy the dirt from the fan filters.

The electric lotus crash was pretty crazy.

And the Yangwang U9 was intense (no highlights up on youtube yet) but if thats the Premium BYD brand, wonder what they will cost?

Saw an interesting BYD ad on Facebook stating that they've stopped 65 million tonnes of CO2 entering the atmosphere.

Most of the comments were from fuckwits saying things like "how much is the battery pollution" etc.
 
Reposting link here. I've said I've struggled with owning a Tesla in future because of the clown in charge. Mrs agrees this is a bridge too far:

Is it just a ploy to sell Cybertrucks to his coal roller pickup driving audience? The bullet proof aspect for either side for when the war starts? News today the robo taxi is delayed, my conspiracy theory is starting to build, standby for Cybertruck production increase and skyrocketing shares.
 
When Trump wins the remaining dregs of the Paris Agreement will be in the toilet anyway, so emissions jsut don’t matter anymore. It’s over, we lost.

So I may as well enjoy a rotary or V8 toy…

trump is all company freedumbs, lower taxes, no red tape, which musky will appreciate. + more tariffs on Chinese owned (not made) EVs?
 
For those listening at home.
BYD Seal Premium - fucking long commute but my choice.
15 to 20 degrees and dry, back home at 25%.
Wet, same temp back home @20% to 22%
I have had 2 cold mornings, one drive I had 2 degrees in part, got home @ 18%, the other cold left home @ 10 degrees, same thing home @ 18%
 
I think I'll be happy with one of these once things settle down after the house reno and I can recoup some of the money from selling the project car and motor. Sadly, the BMW sold yesterday after 28 years of owning it :(



I've watched all the reviews, and it's more than enough car in a straight line and on corners (torque vectoring, some call it boring, I call it car/life saving) for me.

If Hyundai bring an Ioniq 3 N out and it's not take the piss pricing it should be better than this, the N vehicles seem to have the best sports performance of all the EVs.
 
Ha, my new favourite social media personality in a carwow electric vs petrol drag race. It's really lifted my Friday.

A set of Enkei rpf1 wheels in a suitable size will help it look decent enough too.

I suspect I’d probably buy one too. Polestar 2 is nice, but heat pump not standard and overall pretty expensive and a bit too much ICE structure underneath.

You'd probably have about as much luck running wheels of Camembert on the Ioniq 5N. RPF1's are pretty, but from memory are known for being pretty soft and prone the damage on normal road cars - let alone heavy, high-performance EVs.

Maybe the knock off ones are stronger. Anyway, the point is the MG looks a bit awkward with the stock wheels that look too small for the wheel arches.

"Stronger", but more brittle. lol. They're just a low-mass wheel intended for lightweight cars (at least in the traditional smaller diameter sizes, NFI if the larger diameter options are beefed up a bit more...).
 
Those Enkeis got a following from the jdm Godzilla crowd. They aren't a great wheel. I think they look like shit but that is just me.
