And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
All electric with a range of (que the sad trombone) 200 miles. The driver would be able to go 150 miles, and then spend the next 50 miles looking for a recharging station. Hard pass.
Electric because all IC engines and drivetrains have to pass $200,000,000 in EPA tests whether you make one or a million. Eff the EPA. Freeze all emissions and NHTSA's/FMVSS rules/standards to 2015. Free all the engineers working on less than one % incremental gains in automotive BS to work on the betterment of the 3rd world. Fresh water, more food, space travel (above and below), entertainment items, safety, housing, infrastructure, energy efficiency in power production. Just the US trained engineers could make a hell of a difference in the world. Free the Engineers.
The Mercedes-Maybach 6, so called because it's 6 metres long!

ReplyDeleteFind a real steep hill, apply the brakes, recharge the battery. (right)
DeleteA beautiful design…
ReplyDeleteNice looking, if it's real. Why does every thing HAVE to be "electric" now?
ReplyDeleteBecause they can turn it off anytime they want, monitor everywhere you go, and charge more for electricity than gas.
DeleteToo much rear overhang.
ReplyDeleteYou'd get a sore neck craning around to see what's behind you.
ReplyDeleteIf it's as fast as it looks, you needn't care what's behind you.
DeleteIst rule of Italian driving. What is behind you is unimportant.
DeletePoints if you recognize the quote.
Franco is ready. The race can begin.
DeleteAnd that's a wall behind it.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the doors?

I get sad when I see a killer concept design that will never be. I get regulations and production issues, but still…
