I think we have Tesla to thank for the acceptance of a big hatchback sedan in the luxury space,

Nope, no pedestrians were injured.

Actually, if it’s like a lot of antiques shops, it just became the car for her.

Best 3 seconds ever? :)

To be fair, the Toyota’s bumper was dented before the accident...

If this is “Art&Science”, everything by Audi is Art&Science...

Exactly. Just fucking build it as S competitor. Even if you have to sell it at a A7 or Equus price point.

Arguably the best part of the design, and the only long heritage cue.

I’m pretty sure this is NOT Art&Science - it lacks the F-177 Stealth Fighter angularity of A&S. This is actually more retro, with its long, low, wide lines.

This actually has a few pretty big depatures from previous Cadillac design language, and the one that jumps out to me are the rear C pillars. Previous incarnations have had these as very heavy, angular buttress C-pillars that didn’t really work with aerodynamic fastback shapes on a sedan-like body, but this is much…

Because the trucks are bigger and more blocky and higher tech, that’s why.

You’re right, this is bullshit.

OTOH, Fast & Furious Supercharged...

Semi-truck racing is already a thing...

I love the Kamaz truck so much more than that little hatch! Go, big truck, go!

Hmm...

A generator big enough to power the car? Most of the engine power is for acceleration, but the high-torque electric motor can handle that. If we’re just extending the range, we only look at steady state loads.

A regular car only needs about 20 hp to sustain speed of 55 mph. A plug-in with good aerodynamics and…

Batteries used to run 10-15 minutes. And you typically buy extras to swap in.

The bigger the vehicle, the easier it is for a beginner to drive, because it’s more stable and more predictable.

This dude did just fine racing cars and buggies with an aircraft-style dual stick controller...

No way it’s 1/5 scale - a person can sit on a 1/5 scale truck, which itself would be more than 3 feet long.
