      hans zimmer actually made a soundpack for some BMW models, imagine having hiroyuki sawano make one for their cars.

    Just make a regular looking car that happens to be EV. I don’t know why manufacturers have to make the dumbest looking vehicles for their EV cars.

      Styles are changing, I guess they’re focus grouping it and people want cars from blade runner. No longer requiring a radiator or exhaust has actually produced some interesting designs.

        I would rather just have more storage. I think lucid did it right for EV design, same with Rivian. Seems like the legacy car manufacturers always make a goofy design. The lucid air for example is a foot shorter than the S class but has more space.

          Practical EVs exist too. It’s an open market so there will be something for everyone I’m sure. If you really hate EV design you can buy the conversion kits for a classic.

      Lots of visibility with such a small front end, but it’ll make head-on collisions scarier, also, imo. Looks aerodynamic, too. I’d have no issue rocking this for my daily.

          Depending on your commute, a used Nissan Leaf will get you back and forth for 5k to 10k. If you have a long commute, used Model S can be had as low as 20k, but it comes with some negative connotations.

          If you don’t necessarily want to plug in and efficiency is good enough, old reliable Priuses are getting pretty cheap.

      I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the concept cars always look sleek and then the manufacturers poop out something that looks way more standard. See: the Chevy Volt.

      I’m with you on this. I feel like manufacturers still feel like people are wanting to make a statement by making EVs look like their suited for spaceflight. I’d rather have near similar looking models to what we’ve already got with the combustion engine, with aerodynamic considerations for efficiency baked in.

    No real specs are being released, but Honda says these future EVs will be both partially and fully autonomous, depending on the configuration.

    Doubt

    Marginally nicer looking than the cybertruck. I would steal this in GTA if I played GTA and it was a car in the game

    Don’t worry, folks. Most of the time, concept cars exist solely to look interesting and get people talking, especially when it’s from a major manufacturer. I’m sure the production model will be much more boring appealing to the masses.

    Ever notice how all the new selling points for cars are all things to avoid the experience of driving a car:

    -self driving (because why would you want to drive a car)

    -giant screens (because why would you want to look at all the shitty strip malls)

    -tinted windows (because you wouldn’t want to be seen driving this piece of shit)

      Don’t use it/pay for self driving option

      -giant screens (because why would you want to look at all the shitty strip malls)

      People have been putting screens in cars for a very long time.

      -tinted windows (because you wouldn’t want to be seen driving this piece of shit)

      People have been tinting windows for a very long time

        Are you trying to counter what the other commenter said or trying to make a point or something? Because you really have not at all.

      I dunno. If there is a culture that I think has innovated great ideas into reality it’s the Japanese car companies. They took what we wanted in the 80s and made it happen. Then kept doing it.

      The difference here is that the car in the picture is a concept car, which very very rarely ever makes it to production as is. The Cybertruck is the exception to that rule…

    The low, sloping shape gives it a sporty feel that cribs from Honda’s Formula 1 experience.

    So the car will be terrible for several years, then they’ll bring out a model that’s amazing with sales going through the roof, and then they’ll immediately pull out of the market.

    Why do these concept vehicles always have to look this dumb and impractical? Why can’t we get EU sized personal electric vehicles? Think Fiat 500 or the Renault Twingo?

        Also because of the way emissions standards are enforced in the US, SUVs and trucks are held to lower emissions standards making them more profitable. They receive the heaviest marketing and therefore sell the most.

        Holy fuck, do I love capitalism.

    Continuing the trend of completely butchering the rear end of the vehicle as is the case with many other modern cars aswell.

    I really hope that back end is the charging port and you get to park you car like one of those toy cars that you you ‘charge’ up and fire across the room.
