Jesus that does look good. They’ve done a better Lotus than Lotus ![]()
The renders came out three years ago and I thought ooooh.
The fact they produced something very true to the concept is laudable.
Looks good, but apparently weighs lots and doesn’t handle particularly well.
Like so many of us ![]()
I am thinking of getting one. It will be heavy and I understand it’s suspension is tuned as a GT rather than a bone rattler but hopefully the depreciation of EVs will keep it up and I will be able to find one.
I’ve been hankering for the A290 until I saw an MG Cyberster the other day.
All dreams really as I’m going to drive the Mini into ground but 10yrs in it hasn’t had a single thing wrong (yet)
This is turning up with a friend, soon!
The only time anyone said this about a mini, ever!
Yeah, not that quick either. Barely a warm hatch. Can’t see the point. ![]()
What car are you talking about Jim? This thread is very confusing ![]()
The Alpine A290 EV
It’s as if 0-60 might not tell you everything
Why market it as a hot hatch then? Yes, it has the usual Ev qualities, but the handling is compromised by the weight (according to the tests I’ve read) and it doesn’t possess an EV’s usual saving grace - rapid acceleration. So, not a hot hatch then.
what you on about, you buy a fast car and then drive like a fanny
because it’s a better looking Renault 5
Its 0-60 is the same as mine, which is imo pretty quick. I suspect it doesn’t corner like a barge either.
Every car company designs a car with their choice of compromises. Be nice to see a Caterham EV, with a range of one lap of the Ring for lightness, sure, but I’m sure everyone would criticise that range!
I thought he had a chauffeur these days!
I’ve seen a few now over here ![]()
Aside from some unnecessarily shonky paint jobs they look fab
WTF, Ferrari? ![]()
