Speeed’s take
The first mass-produced car with a body made mostly of carbon fibre reinforced plastic, on an aluminium frame, with suicide doors and door panels made from hemp. Everyone else was chasing range by adding batteries and weight; this went the other way. Speeed is blunt that it is not a personal favourite, and equally clear that it belongs here.
“BMW zigged when everyone else was zagged. What if we didn't just try and put as many batteries as we can possibly fit — what if we focused on making this thing as light as possible?”
