Burn him, for he is a witch.It looks ridiculous, has a ridiculous price tag and is a ridiculous car. There
Very very cool car. Way ahead of the bugatti IMH. Then again IMH the original McLaren F1 was still ahead of it. What I don\t get with McLaren is their horrible red/orange? logo. What drongo was at the controls of Adobe Illustrator for that yoke? It looks cheap and... well, crap.
Pity they only had the three seat layout for the F1.
Thought that was brilliant myself. Musta been a pain in the nuptials for car park ticket machines and the like though. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

I like the term "torque fill". Because of tighter emissions, engines are getting smaller and smaller. You can add all the turbos you want to them, but small engine means low torque. Far too low torque
Fill that gap from idle to when the (first) turbo kicks in (around 1500 - 1700rpm) with torque from an electric motor and problem solvedVery very cool car. Way ahead of the bugatti IMH.
In fairness the Veyron is nearly decade old now. Good to see things move on in some ways. Is this car going into production?Lotus Elan turbo for sale:

Small turbo block will often have more torque than a larger power-equivalent e.g. 1.6 FSI has lower peak torque than 1.4 TSI .It will certainly have scope for for more torque than even a much larger NA
Know what you mean tough, all of this is provided the turbo has kicked in.
Love Chris Harris. He awesome.0
