I know there's a few Simone Giertz fans in here..
"Giertz got tired of waiting for Elon Musk to release Tesla’s first pickup truck, so she made one herself"
- Cool, but imho not as cool as the Tesla S Shooting Brake..

- oh bugger, nairn got there first.hans_glib
- tbh it looks like ass. Everything is off and I'm sure there is a good reason why we don't get detail shots.mekk
- Nairn always gets there first!
.
Which is probably why his partner's so unsatisifed.Nairn - fugggly!!!!!!! and useless.pr2
- Crikey, 7 exclamation points.
That's quite an opinion!Nairn - useless? or exactly what the owner wanted?imbecile
- Fucken yanks...that's not a truck. And a sandwich is not a hamburger!BusterBoy
- DRIFTMONKEY0
- Does it glow with the inward rage of a defeated people the more gasoline it uses?Nairn
- no. it uses a light bulb.imbecile
- lolfuturefood
- I think that model was called a Firechief.CyBrainX
- Maybe it was a Chieftan. https://americancars…CyBrainX

- A gimmick, kind of like a modern day Sinclair C5.Nairn
- imo, better to buy/carshare a 'proper' electric car and ensure it's charged on a renewable tariff.Nairn
- Shockingly bad presentation. But a car you can charge on 240v socket to 250 miles of range over night is pretty impressive.ShaneHolley
- You’re not wrong about the presentation, and the car is a bit pants as well.hans_glib
- yeah, that's gonna be a no from me, dawgimbecile

Well, my car is painted and finished (for now). Sorry BabySnakes, I know you loved it but the 58 Corvette grille lost out to the more classic look of the stock one. I also replaced the side exhaust with shorter ones which IMO look better. Thanks for all the positive comments in my progress photo posts.
- Whooaa beauty I wannna drive :D
you did a great job, have fun!sted - Nice. My first wreck was in a 71. Tottaled it, a van and an IROC.lemmy_k
- Cool and Meanstoplying
- Ooh, I like the James Bond style pop up missile launcher.Nairn
- Love the matt finish.PhanLo
- HAHA @Nairn yeah it rains death down into the motor with 16lbs of boost turning the car into a 700hp missile ;)GM278
- Still looks great! So when we gonna see your quarter mile times and video?BabySnakes
- That’s some Mad Max Road Warrior type shit right there. Badass.Ramanisky2
- @BabySnakes There's a sea of youtube videos where you can watch ppl total their cars at drag strips. I ain't got nuthin' to prove. HA!GM278
- Is that your "backyard"? Damn...Maaku
- ajaha still 700hp fuck you, i'm glad you cut that shitty exhaust lol it was like a dragster before :Dsted
- sweet subaru baja dude!!********
- hahaha you're thinking of the Subaru Brat. A friend of mine in high school had one as a first car and ended up rolling it.GM278
- oh yea the baja was the re-invent. looks good.run some hot august nights on it********
- Holy shit that's an amazing whip. Kudos, always wanted one. Someday.garbage

Want...
Ford of Brazil's new Troller T4 Trail
- It looks sort of like the offspring of an FJ and a Jeep. (Hopefully with much better visibility than the FJ)GM278
- I've read it's meant to compete with the Jeep. I like it for its differenceimbecile
- 3.2 TurboDiesel, borgwarner transfer case. I like. I wonder if the long travel and soft springs aren't going to be annoying on asphalt... like the TJ.zarkonite
- is that the exhaust for avoiding being submerged in water? pretty cool_niko
- Cool looking, I'm positive they will never sell in the states.robotron3k
- It's like a cross between a Jeep and a Toyota FJ Cruiserdbloc
- lol just realized GM said the same thingdbloc
- _niko, by the windshield? that is for the intakeimbecile
- _niko, Snorkel for intake (like imbecile said). Water doesn't compress like fuel and air. It can actually bend rods and destroy a motor when you suck water in.GM278
- ...which is why you NEVER EVER attempt to drive a car through deep water during flood conditions. My PSA of the day. :PGM278
- Ah got it, pretty cool_niko
- Inversely, this is why cars flood in 6” of water, because intakes have been moved low in the front of modern carsimbecile
- "No, Ford will never sell this SUV in the US, as it probably can't meet federal requirements for emissions and crash-testing, among other regulatory hurdles. "Maaku
- @robo: this car is built on the Ford Ranger platform.zarkonite
- specifically, it uses the T6 platform, which covers more than the ranger.imbecile
- OBBTKN5
- love me some squareback action.GM278

Not that into it, interesting approach, but I'll pass

1962 Dodge Power Wagon
- Wow. The front at least sort of looks a lot more contemporary.Nairn
- great colourFax_Benson
- ha, that's about all I could tell anyone about it or how it works.Fax_Benson
- Nice!instrmntl
- Looks like a lot of things aren't stock. There was not window tinting or black grills in the early 60s and everything had a visible hubcap with color.CyBrainX
- Also, I question the lack of chrome and those side mirrors.CyBrainX

2020 BMW Z4 M40i
- This is kinda giving me an F-Type vibe.section_014

Anyone catch the Japan EV-GP on the Ocho?

feelings may get hurt... good story

Will Lotus pull it off you think?
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/18314324/Lotus_Evija_Rear.jpg)
- Let's see...an English ELECTRIC car. Lessee, lessee...hmm, going through my records...oh dear. Lucas, Jensen, British Leyland...doesn't look good.zarb0z
- ^This time will be different. LOLlemmy_k
- not leaking oil this time for sure lolmekk
- I'm gonna go with optimism... fingers crossed! ^_^ShaneHolley
- Looks like there'll be a secondary market for child chimney sweeps to work in.Nairn
- The future is all batteries. They can just get Panasonic to make them, like Tesla does. I hope they can make a come back.formed
- Let's not forget the Tesla roadster WAS a Lotus, so...there's that.zarb0z
- Lotus body only I believefooler
- It wasn't a Lotus, actually (I used to think it was, too)formed
- Lotus was involved in the development of the first Tesla Roadster, for their skills in aerodynamics and weight reductionmekk
- elektro1
- Looks like a bit of a cut and shut.Nairn
- Cracked Head, Every Valve Rattles, Oil Leaks Every Timezarb0z
- Is that the new Vette?lemmy_k
- 488 knockoff?Palindrome
- 60K for a 495hp 0-60 mph in 3 seconds car is quite interesting. Hopefully they made the interior better than years before.fooler
- *yawnmonospaced
- Engine in the middle of the car from my understanding rather than front/back.ideaist
- congrats zora, your dream finally came to fruitionimbecile
- I'm so in on this.showpony
- The thick exposed stitching on the interior seems so out of place. Hideous, actually.mg33
- it's like a 360 Modena and an Aventador had a kid?prophetone
- I can see myself driving thisMaaku
- Is this one of the Brazilian knock offs?see_thru
- I love this. It does look like a mix of every super car out there. I see Vette, McClaren, Audi, Lambo. Still, can't wait to see it in person.mandomafioso
- They moved the engine to the rear. The insurance for this will be even higher than before.CyBrainX
- As a kid I wondered why they couldn't make a fast looking car with a cheap engine. Ppl are paying for looks.sarahfailin
- The Tesla Roadster 2020 looks betterNBQ00
- and costs exponentially more. This is a steal. They'll sell these hand over fist. I'd never want a Vette, but this would get me in the show room.formed
- I'm getting one of these. This is exactly what they needed to do with the Corvette. Amazing.section_014
