Is This the Car of the Future?

Here's a vote for fuel-cell/scalextric/electric propulsion. With autonomous driving, there won't be a need for private ownership; after a few buttons get pressed on an app, one of them turns up, transports, and clears off towards another user.

Think of it as an automated taxi.

Seriously, 30 mile range on the batteries alone?

A million dollars for a dodo?

Wtf are they thinking?

The ICE is dead.

It's a hybrid with 600+ mile range....

How negative!

I think it is a fine piece of engineering, and has it's place.

We'll get to total electric when it makes financial sense to do so.

ICE emissions control is a mature technology, and where it is in use (like USA and Europe), smog is a thing of the past. CO2? Not out of control, and not really a problem in the global warming, climate change, climate crisis sense. Whatever they're calling it nowadays, it was manufactured for political purposes.

The biggest threats to this planet are not climate change or CO2, but deforestation and plastic ocean pollution.

They were thinking "I have this idea for a car and I have the means to make it, I think I will!"

You miss the entire point of this car, or really any hyper car with this kind of performance. It is art for art's sake and the buyers in this market have Teslas or Taycans for driving long distances on electric only if that's what they want to do.

The rest of us will just have to appreciate the work and ingenuity it represents from afar while trying not be bitter that we can't afford it ourselves.

My sentiments exactly and well put. GA!

Ingenuity? Please!

Point to one piece of ingenuity.

All this could have been done in the 30's.

There's nothing new here at all, it's the dodo dreams of a group of senile old farts wallowing in the past.

It's no wonder the west is giving the future to the east when people dream up this crap and then go to the futility of actually making it.

Is This the Car of the Future?
Engine, not a car

Why didn't you watch the video before commenting? It's about the whole car...

Why are cars as wide as they are now?

Given that the majority are now running as single-occupancy vehicles, and not many people outside the north American continent are as wide as two front seats, is a novel approach needed in terms of width in order to improve road capacity worldwide?

Wouldn't want to take a broadside hit in this....still pretty cool looking...
