Powershift posted:This actually seems kind of poo poo compared to the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV. What's highlighted means that the Wuling is a car. As far as I understand it, the ami technically isn't, so has lower license requirements, insurance, etc. in Europe. Putting that aside, at none of the points I've ever been driving in Paris or Milan/Turin, have I ever had the thought "you know what, I need more horsepower."

um excuse me posted:It's awesome, but not half a million awesome. Make a homologation series and let me buy a WRX with an actual race bred motor and chassis in it. Subaru has fallen a long way. Except . . . this isn't Subaru making it? I get the value point but that's true for every restomod. You're paying a huge premium for a modern version of your dream car, which already has a high starting point because for any car for which a restomod is viable you're not the only one for whom it's a dream car.

um excuse me posted:They made 25 of them. They don't exist as anything other than rich people to embezzle money into and make posters with. These cars basically don't exist to the vast majority of the human population. I have no problem with something both being a Veblen good and awesome. I see you disagree. There were, what, 400-some original chassis to begin with? So a significant fraction of them are now updated.

SlowBloke posted:Citroën Ami, it has longer lead times than a tesla due to being incredibly cheap while not a ali express death trap Also, according to whatever weird French licensing laws, it's not a "car" and so a lot of rules, including needing a driver's license, don't apply to it. It's also so cheap it's comical. I was walking around Paris and laughed when I realized that the front and back panels are literally the same, one with white lights and one with red, and the passenger door is just the driver door mounted backwards. All to save a few pressing molds. But enough of that, need more twingo! I wonder if it's possible to take the new, surprisingly decent but boring electric twingo guts and drop it into the one true twingo body.

Not if it's built in Brazil, the chicken tax will make it non-viable for import.

Right thread, but only because the Taycan is on a skateboard platform.

Yup. I know a guy that daily drove an NSX in the DC burbs for a decade. It can literally do everything incredibly well so long as it's on a road, from rush hour to track days.

joat mon posted:The setting for the article was 1999 but the remark was made in 1923 by a 91 year old who had been born in 1832. At the age of 16 she had married an 80 year old man named Henry. Sixty four years earlier, in 1784, the young Henry had, for obscure reasons, married an 82 year old woman. Her first marriage had been in 1720 and was to an 80 year old who had served Cromwell before his death in 1658! In a similar vein for us yanks, John Tyler's grandson is still alive: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Ruffin_Tyler Yeah, that John Tyler, president in the 1840s.

SlowBloke posted:The Aptera is supposedly regulated as a motorcycle and all the interior pics make it look even less sturdy than an euro quad. I'm not seeing this huge hurdle if Stellantis decide to import it. It tops out at ~30 mph and sub-50 miles per charge, which means its realistic market is maybe those four or five cities in the U.S. with both awful traffic and mostly surface driving (NYC, Seattle, come to mind). It’s closer to Torchinsky’s Changli than the median car. They simply wouldn’t sell enough to recoup the costs of modifying, federalizing and certifying it.
