Lotus has launched its first fully electric zero-emission hypercar.
The Lotus Evija has a target power output of 2,000 PS (horsepower) and 1,700 newton metres of torque, the Lotus Evija can go from zero to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in under three seconds, and can reach a top speed of more than 200 mph.Holy fuck, she so purdy!
- aaajaa bjuti but fuck I lost a bet :( why couldn't they wait another 6 months? now I have to make breakfast at work until the end of the yearsted
- Unfortunate back side, a bit over the top. And the interior screams "Look at me! I'm electric!". Don't like it when they do the blue led lights stuff.NBQ00
- So many holes.DRIFTMONKEY

another tesla pickup
- The sad things people will do to get YouTube views. I hope they paid for him butchering the car.formed
- that had nothing to do with views if you'd watch the video. they source teslas for other projects, this is a personal shop vehicle covered by another channel.imbecile
- but hey, why learn anything cool about the state of electric customization when you can just shit all over a video you didn't even start to watch?imbecile
- I watched it and it was as stupid as formed said. Turned a nice Tesla into waste.mekk
- kingsteven1
- haha love it. I rewatched LOTR again recently and this scene was painful. Much of LOTR is quite painful to watch these days.Nairn

- Pfft, Sedan! That's a wagon,Legolas!lnu

"The one-off X6 sprayed with a Vantablack VBx2 finish will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, where BMW will premiere the third-generation of the vehicle, according to a statement from the automaker."
- Oooh, lung cancer
.
Vantblack's so cool - I wonder how much it cost to cover an entire car with the stuff?Nairn - Actually, all it does in this context is highlight how brutishly ugly the current X6 is :\Nairn
- make the grille bigger!hans_glib
- Looks like a depilator.Nairn
- Footballer's car.Longcopylover
- "It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black."mandomafioso
- I like it.Hayzilla
- why'd they film this against a grey wall in a studio? idiotic.inteliboy
- Oooh, lung cancer
- Longcopylover5
- I have one in red. It's my first car, I bought it for my 30th birthday. If combustion engines don't get banned, I want to hand it over to my son one day.Longcopylover
- fine car._me_

300 MPH!!
- Skip to about 1:30elahon
- wow. insane. imagine what a deer wandering into its path would do._niko
- Did he really change gear at 250mph! LOLHayzilla
- Except for the technical challenge, what is exactly the point of making a car that goes 300mph?ApeRobot
- @ape Get back from work, pick up kids from school and drive home. all in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.Beeswax
- the drone that follows him is more impressive lolBennn
- @bees make sense now. ;)ApeRobot
- Still only about half the speed of a conventional jet plane.utopian
- Theres word that they are gonna beat the land speed record in 2020. 1000mph.Hayzilla
- ^ Not in a Chiron obviously. The 25yr old land speed record has to go!Hayzilla
- As much as I dislike this sort of shit, I've more respect for speed records done with ICE than our bloody 'strap a jet engine onto steel wheels' effortNairn
- Wilie E. has been looking for this for decades!********

I feel a bit let down that they made this a luxury car with 83 computers, thats too expensive to bog in a river with wet dogs in the back. Thats the rest of their existing range.
I feel like if they had made it simple, cheap and durable like a Suzuki Jimny than that would have been pretty brilliant.
- The value of the old ones just increased massively because of this new Chelsea Traktor.Longcopylover
- Yeah, Ill be keeping mine :)slappy

I currently drive an F11 M Sport like this:
But wanting to go old again... Do I press the button on a W124 almost identical to this?
It means I get to have a manual again, which I miss... What do you guys think?
- i love those old mercs
but
running costs...hans_glib - I own a S124 in the exact same colour for 7 years now. Not an AMG, just the 320 with some options and now 280k kms. I really like it, but make sure you getLongcopylover
- a good one with lots of services and history. I didn't and it cost me a fortune to keep it on the road. Now it would be stupid to sell, because I put so muchLongcopylover
- money and effort in it. So I will probably keep it forever, since it now will hopefully run forver. Or not haha.Longcopylover
- But a W124 with manual? I wouldn't suggest that. I love manual, but not in that car, it doesn't fit the character I think.Longcopylover
- And, funny coincidence: I am looking at E60, F11 and E90 Alpinas as possible daily driver at the moment.Longcopylover
- Ha! Well I've found a good one I think. A couple of silly things like one window not working but other than that all good. I'll take it for another drive...ShaneHolley
- ... before buying of course. I don't mind the maintenance of the merc. Still cheaper than continued running of the f11 now I've put a load of miles on it.ShaneHolley
- They're great cars. Just not cheap if something big lets go. I've just had to replace both turbos £3000.ShaneHolley
- I had an E46 sports wagon with a 5 sp manual, I loved that wagon until everything started breaking after 125K miles.fooler
- Shane, just make sure you read all the buyers guide and check for well known flaws. The car is one of the best of its time, but still a lot of things can break.Longcopylover
- Like the cables in the engine bay turn brittle, there are well known oil issues on the bigger engines, rust is an issue in various spots. But hey, it's fun. :)Longcopylover
- Nice one @longcopylover , Yeah I hear the looms are wrapped in cheese too. There's a few things I'm expecting to need work really.ShaneHolley
- i love those old mercs

looking to upgrade my ride, nothing crazy as most of my money still needs to go to raising my kids lol, but I've narrowed it down to these based on price, what will fit in my garage, the amount and distance i drive, Canadian winters and access to the back seats for kids so no coupe and pref.manual.
open to other suggestions as well
2015 audi A4
2015 wrx
http://www.cars101.com/subaru/wr….2015 GTI
- A4. That's a nice looking one, too. I've been amazed how fun my folks is (compared to my M3).formed
- might as well take a look at an S4, too ;-)formed
- Is the avant model available in ca? I'd get the A4 avant with quattro for winter conditions as daily kidsmobile.mekk
- s4 would be sweet, not sure we have an avant here, but my wife has a suv/wagon so those needs are met I just want something fun for myself :)_niko
- I'm getting a BMW 520 in January for very similar reasons to you. I do about 13k miles a year and have two young kids.Hayzilla
- My wife just got an A4. The 2015 version looks a world better than the 2019 version!Hayzilla
- Go with Audi. Personally, I don't like any of the new BMW's. I'd take an M2 or 4, but other wise they feel cheap (at least the one's I've driven) comparably.formed
- I've test driven an 420, 520 & A4. The 520 is another level above the others.Hayzilla
- ^ Yup, but in all fairness you should have compared the 520 to an E-Class or an A6mekk
- I am not a fan of Volkswagen/Audi anymore. Too much faking: Emissions and engine sounds. And I think the new night rider/disco indicators are a joke.Longcopylover
- That's true mekk, I was responding to formed's statement about all other BMWs feeling cheap.Hayzilla

I think I posted a similar article on this a while back (probably from same website too). Small update on the Bollinger electric Land Rov...er.. 'B1'.
https://arstechnica.com/cars/201…
- Maybe the new Defender show look more like this instead of that "Chelsea tractor"(something I read in a YT comment)dmay
- Thats the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Sorry.Hayzilla
- I appreciate the effort, but they made that 4-door Jeep that everyone has, but somehow uglier. The lines hurt.garbage
- i know these guys. started in a tiny (and i mean TINY) town in upstate NY. electric is perfect for hard working truckshardhat
- i like the sheer brutality of it.hans_glib
- Revisiting it: It looks good at 90 degree angles. @hardhat agreed. There's a good documentary that you might have seen called "Who Killed the Electric Car?".garbage
- My uncle (who lives in Mississippi of all places) had a friend who was a part of an electric truck project by a major manufacturer in the 90s.garbage
- He said that he was amazed at how effective it was as a work vehicle, and then project was revoked for "reasons". Hmm...garbage
- Torque on EVs is brutal, so great for Work Environment. Trouble is, batteries were shit back in the 90s. Now? I think most site vehicles will go EV very soon...Nairn
- ..I can even imagine some construction stuff getting plugged in, because why the fuck not?Nairn
- The only thing EV suffers from (and it's only a minor issue) is range. Or, sustained top-end output, but that's only for race cars and cretins with tiny dicks.Nairn
- Actually, cretins with tiny dicks only like to fartblast around towns for short sustained periods before they dampen their Y-Fronts prematurely.Nairn
- You lost me at Y-Fronts, lol.garbage
- speaking of range / power issues: https://www.cnbc.com…PonyBoy
- A lot of people won't like it, but a LOT of people do. And there's some really smart thinking behind this truck. They're a nice bunch with true intentionshardhat
- The cut-through as grown on me. Also it would look pretty amazing when mudded / dented up. Those distressingly perfect lines well earn character.garbage
- Do we still need cars?!grafician
- Cleaner cars = Faster horsesdeadsperm
