Is that finished? It looks very much like a disguised prototype where they really don't want you to see what it's going to look like for real.

So is the Hipercar a hypercar?

Looks like someone's tried to make a batmobile out of a Vauxhall Tigra
An absolute unit

Atom with a Smart Roadster body?

Look like someone bought a crashed Elise and tried to fix it with mdf offcuts.
I was convinced it was some sort of windup / spoof at first.

The drive train sounds relatively interesting, but it's no looker!
Re: What the bastard fuck is that!!??
Was the gas turbine range extender not what that bloody lovely CX-75 concept going to use, before Jaguar lost their bottle?
Re: What the bastard fuck is that!!??
Too hard to get that microturbine through emmisions due to length of warmup and "idle" AFAIK. So they then went down the conventional ICE+hybrid route before canning the lot because it was too heavy and they wanted to spend the money on the Gaydon Triangle amongst other stupid things.

And that Ariel is Fugly.

Saw this on Twitter earlier and my immediate thought was the front end and how is that allowed when rules these days mean front end design often looks a little ‘stuffed’. Presumably it’s related to their volumes?

Quite.
The whole thing is very odd.
Are we sure it’s not April 1st?

I suppose that would be more realistic than 'pussed out like a bitch'RobYob wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 12:52 amToo hard to get that microturbine through emmisions due to length of warmup and "idle" AFAIK.

The more I look at it, that view of the car is just utterly embarrassing. That looks like someone has knocked it up in their shed for their local soapbox race or Batman (Michael Keaton-era) cosplay.

Exactly, it’s just awful. Not even functionally ugly, just stupid and shit looking bodged together ugly.
They can talk all they like about the finished ones being real carbon and better put together, but if it’s going o be so much better why even bother with such a weird preview release of this thing?

I really don't understand how they got there, the atom and nomad look brilliant, yet this looks like a goths shoe.
