One thing that I think I might miss (if the fucking EV ever turns up) is the ability to really put my foot down in second and get from 20-50 quickly, with a nice pull from the engine as revs get higher. I know that the EV will have a much more even power delivery, but for the fun of driving, Iâm a bit concerned. Weâll see.
Feedback from people with EVs seems to suggest that the straight line bit is good fun- the instant delivery is quite entertaining and even prosaic models are pretty brisk. I havenât driven the Hyundai so I might be doing it a grave disservice but if itâs going to be dull, I suspect it will be spectacularly uninspired when it comes to handling, in part because it will come with low resistance eco tyres.
And will run for a full 7 minutes
Indeed it will. Are they really shit then? No chance Iâm going to replace them, when they are included in the maintenance package though.
It really depends on what you want from the car. For normal biffing about, Iâm sure theyâll be OK but if you want to make quicker progress- especially when corners are involved- they wonât grip terribly well.
Not an EV but my ex-wifeâs Fabia VRS came supplied with Continentals and they were quiet and hard wearing but gave little feedback and that meant that the âbreak pointâ where grip was lost was hard to discern. Switching to Avons transformed it.
Retro futuristic is the next thing
Donât get me wrong, I like it, but wtf.
Styling studios reject clay modelling in favour of Lego.
Or designed in Minecraft.
Hopefully comes to the UK and I can buy one. 
Somebodyâs been watching a ton of 70s sci-fi recently and itâs glorious.
Back to the Loganâs Run car again!
How much has it lost on aerodynamics through the design though? It was always going to be shit in that respect, so why not write off aero completely and have fun (and save money?) with the design?
Because this is a pick-up
Ford sell nigh on 900,000 of those. A year.
Maybe that massive market is just crying out for a Delorean themed pick up. Time will tell I suppose.
I suspect impact safety regs will replace a lot of sharpness with blobbishness.
For picking up hot chicks, rite?
