The McMurtry Spéirling is claimed to be under 1000kg. A lightweight electric car may not be an oxymoron after all. Just some concessions to make.
- ggreer 3y agoThe McMurtry Spéirling is not street legal and it costs $1 million.
- fragmede 3y agoAnd what a car it is!
- greggyb 3y agoThe Bugatti Veyron launched in 2005 with 1K horsepower and cost > $1M. As of last year, you could get a Dodge Challenger with 1K horsepower for <$100K. Those prices are unadjusted for inflation, so the price difference is even greater than 10x. While it is not a guarantee, the innovations in today's supercars do tend to become much more common with time.
- inhumantsar 3y agoI think you're drawing a lot of conclusions from that correlation. what innovations did the Veyron introduce that the Challenger used?
- gambiting 3y agoOur VW e-Up is just below 1200kg and has 150 miles range from a 36kWh battery, fits two of us, baby seat, and Costco shopping. You can absolutely have a lightweight electric car, just be realistic about what you're getting.
