The retro-styled electric sports car is set to arrive by the end of the decade with a limited production run
Ohhh yes! Look, I'm not an EV enthusiast but this car might change my mind. I love the way it looks from every angle. Just needs a trapper keeper background to complete the look.
The article also implies it will be hydrogen based, so I'm predicting the answers to your questions will be, in order: Not much, irrelevant, and a lot.
Quick, someone set that EU petitions page, let's force them :D
(I'm joking, but if possible I would really sign it - if traffic is forced on me, I should have a say in how it looks, not just what I drive)
I'm worried we'll get the usual slew of changes for the production version. E.g. hood can't be that low, pedestrian hazard, can't have that sheet metal crease there, too expensive, pillars must be thicker for the roof to handle rollover events etc..
And no, I'm not saying safety is silly, I just hate it a tiny bit when designers tease us with stunning designs, designs they know can't be progressed, as is, beyond a prototype stage.
I thought the Ionic 5 N with fake shifts and engine noise was dumb at first until I realized just how useful it is on track. I'm learning how to race real cars (and sim) and have learned we pay attention to the gear we're in by turn and where in that gear we're at not the speed the vehicle is traveling. So there is a purpose.
Thank you for confirming something I've suspected, which is that engine noises aren't just for fun but provide useful feedback on how the car is driving.

I was expecting people to put something JDM like a 2JZ, or perhaps even something out of a Hyundai Genesis Coupe or something. It seems like those would fit with the car without being too overkill for it.
