lol, wut?

If this is the next Leaf we are looking at, and prepared by the French... i will be in line for one then...

An electric parking break needs a tiny wire run to the back wheels to tell the calipers when to actuate (possibly with another very short cable, or just right on the caliper) and then a switch up front. Compare that to a strong, mechanical ratchet mechanism and 10 feet of strong cable.

You know, because this one doesn't cost six goddamn figures.

To be fair though, how many current cars would pass the "getting run over by a train" test?

Maybe they are comparing it to what a Clio Hybrid would weigh?

The brake system is 32 pounds lighter than the Clio's. Renault got rid of the master cylinder and integrated all systems into one unit. The front brake discs are smaller and combine steel and aluminum. Basically, the the part of the discs in contact with the pads is made of steel, while the central part is made of the…

I had the same reaction, maybe Renault is talking about the weight without the drive train (hybrid = heavy batteries).

This is much more appealing than that stupid fucking vw everyone was creaming their pants over a few months ago.

2,105 pounds, 235 mpg (on the EURO cycle).

So, the EOLAB's body shell combines steel, aluminum, magnesium and plastic composites. The steel in question is the hot stamped Very Very High Elastic Limit variant, which has a yield strength of between 1,200 MPa and 1,500 MPa, an improvement of between 200 MPa and 500 MPa over the VHEL steels used for current…

I want to live in a world where we can share the same sort of excitement for a new Toyota as we have for a GT-R. Unfortunately, to me it seems more likely to follow the vaporware, 15yr development cycle of the NSX.

A little I guess, but thanks for reminding me that this beautiful car burnt down. Now I'm sad.

Does nobody else see this?

Needs more Tom's livery.

Brother from another mother!

The non "race" version at the North American International Auto Show last year...

I want to believe too, but it's doubtful that we'll ever get the RWD I6 gasoline-only sports car we want.
