All 3 cars I mentioned hit 185mph in 14 seconds at fraction of the price. I find arguing about the last 15mph by Evija silly in light of Rimac Nevera doing 200m

All 3 cars I mentioned hit 185mph in 14 seconds at fraction of the price. I find arguing about the last 15mph by Evija silly in light of Rimac Nevera doing 200mph in 10 seconds. Makes Evija look overpriced for what it delivers from one end, and slow and outdated from the other. https://carbuzz.com/lotus-evija-slower-than-rimac-nevera-r/ https://carbuzz.com/lotus-evija-slower-than-rimac-nevera-r/
EV is a great equalizer and that frightens supercar makers. Porsche is outright terrified and seems to be in panic mode together with all other German car makers under political pressure to go electric. Loud smelly combustion engine cars seem to be their last stand.
- taylodl 1y agoBoth the Nevera and Evija are pushing the envelope, are comparably priced, and have comparable performance numbers. My whole point of bringing up the Evija in the first place was to compare the sales numbers to that of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, which doesn't even match the Evija's performance numbers. Yet more people are buying the Alfa Romeo and they're buying the ICE version, not the EV version. The Nevera, despite its performance, is struggling to sell. Which gets to what this article is about - can Ferrari succeed in the hypercar EV market where the others are struggling? My bet is: no. The moral of the story is auto enthusiasts prefer ICE cars. Everyone understands the engineering behind EVs and how they can beat ICE cars in almost every respect - but auto enthusiasts don't care. They appreciate the engineering that goes into the ICE car. It's like I've said, the Apple watch does more, but a horophile will prefer a Swiss made watch.
