This thing is buzzword bingo vaporware.

Honestly, I find that Munro, like most engineers, has a habit of missing the forest for the trees.
The engine is the M112 “320" which was in a bazillion MBs. It’s oversquare and not much stressed, with a pretty low compression ratio. It’s fairly bulletproof, a little thirsty. The chassis is a shortened version of the W202, lots and lots of those, so I’d think parts are very available. I wouldn’t worry about this…
When I look at that blue one, all I can think of is Jeremy Clarkson saying “veloooour”.
The battery can be accessed. You just need to lift the car off the pack after a collision. You can salvage the pack by cutting away the rails if they are torqued.
Cool bonus fact: in piedmontese (the italian dialect from the region where Pininfarina is based) Tacuma means something like “are you really starting with this again?”. The sort of expression you use when someone does/says something annoying that he has already done/said before
should revoke his right to operate a vehicle and a firearm.
I mean... I can see what they’re going for. Isolated from the car, the upswept lines are kinda nice lines, but they car they put around the lines is really awkward.
