[Todd Simpson]

New Regs require even tire noise reduced. Wow. It's not petrol engines, it's Tire noise?

THE LAST LOTUS:

If you are fan of sports cars, you may know the LOTUS brand. Sadly they, like everyone are ditching gas powered cars. This is the Last real lotus. They finally got it right, just before going to battery powered everything. I hope I get to drive one.

Anyone ever driven a Lotus car?

My new ride:



21-speed mountain e-bike with 65km of range (or much farther using its 5-speed pedal assist) and grip throttle. It'll do up to 20 mph on throttle which seems good enough for me . Full charge in under 3 hours. I added a suspension seat post and gel seat to add some comfort (not shown in picture). It's an entry/budget model but I'm fairly impressed so far. Sorry if it's offtopic, but I thought I could slide in some relevance with the whole shift from petrol to EV thing.

Sweet, that is a nice model. I like it! My next bike will definitely be mid-drive with a 500 or 750. My latest guitar purchase put me in the budget e-bike zone , which is a pretty lonely market. My son recently learned how to ride his bike and I wanted to take him on the local trails. I had been seeing a lot about the e-bikes online and thought I'd look into it. Really glad that I did. It was a great decision all around.

Thanks for the reply Seems perfectly relevant as the car posts are about to switch to all EV posts. So sure thing! Your new EV looks quite spiff as does Ben's! "PEV" (personal electric vehicles) are really getting to be a serious things. Here are some of the options.

This thread remains one of the most popular on GMC despite having nothing to do with guitar. Odd, but ok

This is "The Last Corvette". The subsequent model will be some sort of battery powered lady shaver, as Jeremy Clarkson says.

NEW ELECTRIC DELOREAN!!!

Yup, BACK TO THE FUTURE is making it's way back to the present day. These will be made in Italy, about 88 units (of course) and will have gull wing doors just like the original.

THE LAST HELLCAT 2023

Looks like 2023 is the last year for the Hemi powered, supercharged Hellcat drive train cars from Dodge. 2023 could well be the last year for muscle cars in general. After that, regulations and impending restrictions will make it just impractical to create these vehicles. This is probably not a big deal in Europe since these cars are really only designed for use in the states. Our roads here are wide and straight and track days are usually drag strip based. I'm very sorry to see the death of the muscle car as it is something that has been part of our culture for a long time. Such is life.

FINALLY A USE FOR "NFT"?

The new Alfa Romeo hybrid crossover thing is the first car to officially come with it's own NFT. (Non Fungible Token) basically a picture that lives on the block chain that can store other data as well.

The clever bit is that it will allow the owner to declare mileage and service history in a way that can't be forged/faked etc. So when it's sold on to the next buyer, the NFT will have a permanent record of it's entire service history and miles. It's a clever use of NFT which may start to pop up doing similar things for other car vendors. In an age of digital currency, using the block chain to track stuff like this is a clever idea imho. Just hope it works.



FERRARI SUV IS HERE

The end must be near. Ferrari have done what they said they would never do. They have finally built a crossover thing. It's just a vehicle type that folks want which is why every builder now has one. Ferrari held out til last but even they are not immune to markets. So they finally did it. Eventually, the engine will go and it will be just another battery powered crossover that happens to have a Ferrari badge. It's not meant for off road use, as none of these style vehicles are. But it does have back seats and room for groceries.

Lambo and Aston make half of their money on horrible crossover things that are not really in line with their ethos. Ferrari isn't like that. They make money no matter what. However, all the high end builders are now worried that Ferrari is coming for their best customers.
