Stunt Driver Mark Higgins as Eve Moneypenny on location in Adana, Turkey during filming for the pre-title sequence of Skyfall
And it’s not like electric can’t be exciting:
Aviation has had its move from inline pistons and radials to turboprops and jets. Neither of the latter will ever get close to the emotion of the former, but it doesn't mean they hold their own. It's just different. Same goes for steamtrains - electric/dieselelectric.
yes, those are just random reasons. Mass produced energy, even if it isn't green, is still more efficient than locally produced (read: engine) energy. And all those stories about the need for certain elements, and the production of those, beeing less environmentally friendly and thus preferring gasoline cars is just as bonkers. They completely ignore the time, energy and pollution (!) that gasoline/petrol production has caused.
I don't know (and nobody knows) where electric technology will take us, or if hydrogine will be a part of the transition as well. Fact is electric engines are far more efficient than fuel-burning ones, and one way or another will replace petrol cars completely.
Still, knowing all that, I'm also not ready to make the change, and hope my next car can be a guilia, before I go fully electric or hydro, or hybrid.
The only valid argument I've heard up until now is that some people need to drive long distance often, and the routes they take don't have the infrastructure necessary. Still, hybids can step in there. I've recently driven one and though it was a big SUV, it still was more efficient than most smller cars.
I'd have no real objection to fully electric in the course of things. The infrastructure and tech is improving all the time although not there quite yet. I will miss the thrill of changing gears in a sportscar, but it's hardly a huge sacrifice in the grand scheme of things.
The item on last week's Top Gear about synthetic petrol seemed rather amazing to me. If they can get a proper production going on that it seems like a great solution to keeping old combustion cars going in the future.
really doesnt look sexy enough for a BOnd-film does it? this one is better: https://www.pal-v.com/
Little nelly v2.0
Yes, or this one.
cool, but also... sort of taking the fun out of it, you're not in control anymore... at all.
well apparently the pal-v got a lot of interest from emergency services.
A multi million dollar f1 ferrari from yesterdays gp that ferrari wants to keep building ? :-O
the King of cars.
For the Croesuses among you.
Go-go Gadgetmobile! :D
Is there a connection between Hyundai and DeLorean that I am not aware off? It can't be a coincidence.
I'd call it mnimalistic ;-) Anyway, The N vision concept I find interesting, but these two...
I'm not very fond of this new design language and I wonder how it's goin to hold up. Saw a Citroen Xantia the other day and was stunned at how dated the design was. The BX, allthough clearly an 80ties model, has aged far better.
