Ah, fair enough. I only saw the other promo video where it was “revving” while sitting motionless, and was basing it on that. 

So the solution is to give them a car that sounds like the belt drive on a vacuum cleaner? They must’ve hired all the sound engineers that worked on Gran Turismo’s 1-6...

Just hold the brake and gas at the same time like with an automatic transmission...

At 126 dB it’ll increase the numbers of hearing-impaired...

Definitely not a boomer, but certainly born a few decades too late...

Looks like another low-res sprite in a video game, akin to the “CyBeRtRucK”.

The people who will buy this will NOT turn it off though...

Agree with you except on point #3. Fake cars are way worse than boring cars. To a certain crowd (myself included), EVs will never be more than soulless “mobility” appliances (no matter how blindingly quick they can accelerate), so the sooner they stop trying to be insufferable, fake poser-mobiles, the better it’ll be…

Yeah, as much I love the sound of a high performance engine, the jackasses that race between stop signs in my neighborhood at 11pm are extremely annoying. To have to hear something that sounds like a vacuum cleaner’s belt drive instead would be even more annoying, especially when you know it’s literally NOTHING but…

Being expensive isn’t a problem if it’s only going to be used for fun/hobby cars like this. For the 99% of vehicles on the road that are just transportation appliances, sure, EV is the way to go.

The 1,200+ ft container ships and supertankers would also like to remind you that they exist.

While I’ve been woefully disappointed in humanity for the last several years, I’d like to at least think these people were at least aware of the possibility their vehicles would be totaled. And in the case of the actual sports cars being raced, they’re at least doing what they were meant to do in a more controlled…

Plus it ignores how countries with great public transit STILL have plenty of cars (like Japan). If public transit was actually a viable alternative to a car where I live, I could buy a car that I have JUST for fun, instead of having to compromise on something that’s practical that has to carry me around everywhere.

It’s because the well-to-do in the US have convinced themselves that having walkable neighborhoods with grocery stores on the corner are for poor people or “those” people. Think about it - all the “hoods” in the US (at least the ones I’ve seen) have convenience stores at the end of the block. Sure the variety isn’t…

There’s lots of reasons why “flying cars” are stupid (like noise), but the single positive thing about these stupid concepts is that they all have at least 100 individually-driven propellers, so there’s A LOT of redundancy in case one motor fails.

Charles was many seconds further ahead of Hamilton. If Ferrari had extended his Medium stint, Max likely would’ve gotten the undercut, but Charles would’ve been able to run him down on the Softs compared to Max’s Mediums, because he would’ve had a much smaller gap to close than Hamilton did.

Plus, even not counting the fetus the woman was carrying, that’s still 5 people the driver killed. That’s still A LOT of people for a single person to kill in a single crash that only involved other cars (not cyclists or pedestrians).

Rear engine, FWD is what Koenigsegg is doing with the Gemerra, so that’s not unexpected anymore.

That sounds like “ ‘Die Bart, die’ is German for ‘The Bart, the’” from the Simpsons...

Hamilton ran an M-M-S strategy and it turned out pretty well for him. Ferrari could’ve absolutely made that work.
