They might have thought it would look good compared to a Focus with no wheels waiting for the crusher. Unfortunately it is shown up by the scrappers behind it

Anyone remember Scrapheap Challenge? “Here’s a crashed Nomad, you have 1 hour to turn it into an electric fully enclosed sports car”

this looks like a goths shoe.
Quality comment.
It looks like an abomination, but strangely, I like it.

I think that‘s why they’ve let people drive it. Try and tempt people into putting deposits down and raising funds with the reported driving experience.

Looks like there are electrically driven fans at the rear as well as the turbine - my first thought was for ground effect but it might just be the epic cooling system for all the electro-wotsits.

I like it more after watching that video. But odd if it can't manage a full track day. Hopefully just needs a long lunch break to recharge for the afternoon.

a bit like the formula E strategy - pit stop and change to another car.
