It is a fabulous looking thing, but you pay an awful lot for style at over twice the price of a Citroen Ami.
Or the new Dacia Spring. But as we all know, style comes at a cost (as in money, performance AND reliability) - otherwise we would be chatting on the MX5 forum!

Looks brilliant to me and the 90km/hr version is far more use than an Ami outside city centres as the Ami is limited to 45km/hr. We were cycling in Spain a week or so ago and down a long hill had to resist the temptation to overtake an Ami....
Richard, perhaps to widen your scope when considering EV.... ?
Yes they are at least making a valid effort. Xpeng (how do you pronounce that?) have a good one as well. Mind you by the time the greedy import tax has been applied it will probably cost £300k+ VAT and etc etc. I am afraid I would buy a McLaren 720s at that point.
I am glad there are some good minds focused on this inside Europe because the others seem so conservative I worry. What do our European household brands give us?
Well Ford (marginally a European brand?) give us an ID4 in a flash running suit. Looking like a Polestar with a Honda headlamp set. Apparently the kink in the rear belt-line and windows shape are the linkage to the Capri. So it's not the underwhelming undercarriage this time then.....
Just after they have cancelled all the good stuff in their lower range.
What a mess.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
The new Cyberster GTS concept looks half decent. Again, it resembles the amorphous McFerraghini shape that they all seem to have these days. but probably at a quarter of the price.
Car manufacturers are not even ashamed. Explorer, Capri, Mustang...A Capri that is a boring VW. Only, others are no better. The next Lotus Elise will probably be very similar to the new Capri. Great names are being burned in a flash in the pan of collective forgetfulness. It is very telling and proves all the more that an era has come to an end.

Oh, I had not spotted that version. Indeed a different kettle of fish.

George thank you, I take your point but I don't like these sharp suit designs Fezzaesque and that's why I drive a Plus 8
These just look such fun and a sunroof available and would just be fit for purpose as a little runabout down here when the time comes and sufficient range for return trips to Exeter or Plymouth when needed.

I remember the Isetta and the Heinkel as a youngster, and while my Tesla well provides my daily transportation needs, EV supercars are not my kinda thing, Just off out for a run in the old +8, given we have been blessed with a nice dry and warm evening in these parts... (-:
