‘The Elise changes direction like a spinning top. Rotating the Seven is more like attempting to whirl a bar-bell.’
So devoted are we to lightweight British sports cars that @Andrew_Frankel and @gezmedinger each keep one of their own.

A real surprise from @VW, this: the ultimate in EV efficiency so far... but will they build it?
‘It shows the potential of showroom-spec technology. Even the rear axle is a modified ID. Polo setup, albeit narrowed by 170mm to chase an aero profile.’
