Actually, I don't really like modern cars anymore, and certainly not electric cars. But I like the Piech very much. Classic design without that aggressive look you see everywhere else.

Interesting Heinz but I dont see the " These guys do everything differently." and some of the PR claims are definitely pushing things a bit.

In the 60s / 70s, there was a large gap between the technology used by mass manufacturers and the specialist smaller sporty companies. For example, the Alfa Guiletta had a DOHC engine and 5 speeds when standard familty car had 4 speeds at best and OHV engines. Gradually this gap has reduced to the point where mass manufacturers produce engines with the same technology as high end brands. Lamborghinis V10 is an example being used in bog standard Audi cars until recently. I see this pattern being continued and worsened with electric vehicles. The battery technology available to the likes of Tesla and Ford will be the same as that available to small makers and the same with the electric motors. But by the same token, the opportunities for small scale makers to start up has to be greater than it was in the past. Composite bodies together with standard motors and batteries from mass suppliers ..............

It will be interesting to see how it all pans out.

P.S. "no heat during current consumption" is only possible with 100% efficient engines and zero resistance superconductor wiring not to mention zero resistance batteries - not yet available at room temperature. See https://www.insidescience.org/news/...rconductivity-above-boiling-temperatures . Thats why I say "pushing it a bit"
