I've watched a few of his vids, hadn't seen this one. I think he strikes a good balance of interest in the subject without being a fanatic on a rush. I didn't know he'd driven a mk1 Insight, will have to find that.
I was disappoint with the XL1 economy even allowing for a low battery. I'd've thought a previous model Polo Bluemotion or Fiesta econetic would do similar in the same conditions, or at least close enough to be acceptable for the extra practicality they have. I'm trying not to sound all fanboi, but I can't not mention the A2 3L.
Well they have launch control - but you need to be brave enough to use it!
Of course the Youtube illiterati are up in arms over that vid, saying the rider was an amateur and had only ridden mopeds before and the bike should do the standing 1/4 in one second and and and AND AND AND AND AND.
Personally I'm just pleased each vehicle in that clip exists in the first place. They're all utterly daft.
The bike V car bit was obviously bonkers, but the Atom V Mclaren was just as crazy to me, I’ve driven an Atom so know how quick they are (and how massively compromised they are as a “car” to be that quick). The idea of a relatively luxurious road car beating it by such a margin is just mad.
Harris keeps banging on about how utterly ridiculously fast the 720 is. Probably the fastest supercar around at the moment, before you get into the 'hyper' car territory.
