This is a $300k car with over a thousand horsepower. Housewives are not the target market.
- infecto 5mo agoWhy would you think that? Rich housewives/spouses do exist. The Urus is at least to me the equivalent kind of car. Captures a market that does not appeal to traditional lambos. I could see this doing the same.
- seydor 5mo agoI would assume even they would prefer buying something sexier than an iphone on wheels.
- infecto 5mo agoYou’re confusing your taste to the taste of someone who is probably making a purchase solely on brand and it being an EV. This thing might sell incredibly poorly but one thing I have always found to be true. The taste of HN commenters is wildly different than target demographics.
- seydor 5mo agoMost housewives in dubai buy Rolls royce anyway. It looks better
- infecto 5mo agoOk? Still does not defend anything you are saying.
- arbitrary_name 5mo agowhy would the ultra wealthy care about it being an ev? operating cost and climate impact are not a priority when you are dropping 650k and living in a oil rich ME kingdom. performance and aesthetics s would be more important, surely?
- afavour 5mo agoEVs are legitimately better to drive.
- infecto 5mo agoWhy fixate on Arab countries? Rich people live all over the world and there are increasingly more emission restrictions. And again, as I keep repeating myself, just because you are not the target demographic does not mean it does not exist. I could easily see someone who does not care about cars wanting this because of the brand and yeah even EVs can matter depending on social circles. You guys are defending this to death. I am only pointing out that it would not surprise me it fits a demographic they were targeting.
- cjrp 5mo agoWouldn't the Purosangue be the competitor though?
- infecto 5mo agoI am pointing out that manufacturers introduce models to capture new demographics. Just like the Urus did.
- bdhtu 5mo agoThe car isn't $300K. It's $640K (€550K).
- Petersipoi 5mo agoYou think ultra rich housewives don't want ultra expensive cars?
