Hmmmm, I didn't want to see that!

EV718's coming in 2025... perhaps keep my ICE Spyder until I trade it in on 'something' like that.

This looks pretty amazing. I wouldn't sell my GT4 for one but as a different category of car this is brilliant. I'd be way more interested in watching a field of these than watching Formula E.

You prefer artificial exhaust sound where there is no exhaust? The high pitched whir sounds very futuristic to me.

I wonder if Nakai-san would take me on as an apprentice, so I could start RW-Colnago, for Caymans?

I suppose they could introduce a flat 6 into the .2 version.

Wow, that is a good looking car already. It did look big though, and that sound would drive me nuts lol but it is a race car.

There is a guy on instagram who built a crazy looking Widebody 981/982 Cayman for time attack in Japan. 2.5T/PDK car I believe. Google “Caymania”. Looks pretty interesting

My flat 6 GTS sounds wonderful, this thing sounds like it is eating up wheel bearings or a huge dental drill. Fascinating tech for sure though, 3300 lbs is impressive.....

3300lbs as a race car? Heavy. I figured the street version would be 3800 and looks like that's going to end up true although maybe it'll be a tad lighter than I figured. How's the range. If the best elon can do is 20 minutes of track use right now before it turns into a turtle and 10 minutes before it overheats everything we'll see what this thing gets but it's prob not going to be amazing.
