The production can be much more automated and less workers, faster and easier production etc. I understand they are being pushed by the industry, but I’m having a hard time accepting electric cars.
I doubt we'll get it in the USA, but I hope that a "Turbo 5" follows. Porsche proved that "Turbo" means "more."
... although in my case it's not a big issue to be honest. I like driving an Electric car ... as long as I can go back to one of my other cars ;-) If I buy this R5 or the A290 ... if .... I will most certainly keep the Megane .. and the Clio off course ... as well as the 205 All I need then as an extra ar is a big diesel
Fun is possible ... maybe not like a petrol car. Looks ... any car can look good.
Not sure about Renault but Alpine definitely wants to go to the US ... albeit no A110 petrol and not sure about this R5. Alpine wants to build an electric A110 and a couple of bigger EV.
stylish “roller-skate” perfectly suited for dealing with the urban landscape.
