And back on topic

Some dude brought out men of a certain age favorite Hot Wheels car, although weirdly they had TURBO painted in them cause HW believes in accuracy above all



She's got some serious hips, but every panel seemed perfect.

No arguing it is slighty 'over-bodied' in the rear quarters... but in a nice way. (Thats an S4 so has larger rear wheels as standard which make it less noticeable than on earlier 928's. )

Useless trivia time... The 928 was the first production car with bumpers hidden under plastic fascias seamlessly integrated into the overall bodywork front and rear.
Now its become what carmakers do, but the 928 did it first.

A great GT imo, good ergonomics for its era with one part of the dash moving with the steering column. The 300 ZX was an acceptable "inspiration". My favorite remains the 944 T.

Add lightness? That must be something to do with the 680kg battery pack! (The Eletre’s battery pack alone weighs just shy of the all up weight of an original Elise (735kg). Just sayin'.

Oh for context, all up weight of the (very unsimplified) Eletre is, and this is from a review I read.... "We put this Eletre R on a weighbridge and it was 2,680kg (only 40kg over the claimed weight) - a comparison is probably with the latest 729bhp Porsche Cayenne Turbo e-Hybrid which weighs in at 2,495kg.")

Simplify? From the same review.... "But since it’s actually Chinese, it’s laden with a swathe of new technology ripe for exploitation from over-the-air (OTA) updates. There’s enough LiDar, cameras and microwave sensors to give Boston Dynamics a migraine, plus much ADAS, connectivity and swish electronica. Shoutout to the lovely KEF Audio stereo system (standard on S and R) with Dolby surround-sound."

As Bert said, "Distinctly un-Lotusey".
What could possibly go wrong?

And it seems that the range is not outstanding. It does not reflect the asked price and shows that not all EU countries offer enough recharge stations in working order. The GPS is really useful in an EV!
