The only thing it's missing is the sound! Such a shame because it is SO badass in every other respect. Sports cars are luxury items that we enjoy for their experience, and to me a REALLY big part of that experience is the sound of a screaming V12 or the growl of a V8 or the trumpeting of an inline 4, the whine of a supercharger, the hiss of a turbo. I can go on and on. At the end of the day, no matter how fast and agile a pure EV is, its missing a key feature of what makes sports cars enjoyable. All that being said, Pininfarina did a spectacular job with the styling of this car!

I'm glad Mahindra bought Pininfarina a few years ago and let them do their thing.
Heidfeld was a Mahindra formula e driver. So he was part of the car's development i guess.
That's one more legendary brand revived by an Indian carmaker like how Tata revived JLR.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 120kWh/1417kw=0, 085 hours of full throttle action before your battery dies completely so be careful with that; D. Give it a few years and some miles and bet you could do half of that, maybe 2 minutes LOL. Too lol.

Not liking the bump response on roads, doesn-t really look like a GT car set up. They can do a better suspension set up with road vs track settings to improve this. For the price-

No matter how powerful and good this electric car is, it lacks that symphony and orchestra of a combustion supercar engine, something like a naturally aspirated V12 engine

To have the money and daring giggle factor to have it altered into a UK milk float, complete with glued down bottles. An expensive car show giggle. Just like F1 vans.

Saw a blue one at the Petersen pretty recently. A really incredible thing to see in person. A stand out example, considering the company it keeps.

I love the look of this, but. the two screw bolts at the back of the info screen makes it look so cheap. Bit of an eye sore. Great review Matt

You-d think that Pininfarina-s first standalone car would be the most beautiful thing on earth. This just looks like a Hennessey kit car.
