I will miss petrol engines and gearboxes because they are are a part of how I've always driven. But.... the acceleration and torque from electric is mental.

I was going to ask what had happened to the front shocks? (You can't see them in the engine bay), but this explains it... Sort of :? ...

I'd miss the noise from a built motor :|

There's always been a market for electric vehicles:-

Some are sportier than others.

It will always be a downside the lack of noise however with the right set up and speakers getting a rev gauged noise wouldn't be too hard. Will never be the same but very quick.

The suspension is tricky it looks like any suspension has been built inside the bay?

Lo :D
I hate this kind of messing about with suspension it looks bloomin awful :cry:
Only My opinion of course peops but I would prefer it just slightly lowered and without huge wheels.
It would really suprise a few boy racers if it looked more standard 8-)
Cheers ;)

Yeah I was disappointed with how it looks. It could have been an amazing sleeper.

I'm beginning to think there might be something to electric vehicles after all:-
