    Thank you Andrew.

    To build 500 cars, that's very difficult to come from nowhere and do that, even with large amounts of money. There has been a lot of hype, billions spent and no volume except Tesla.

    I think you are probably right about lap time.

    I don't believe Jay will be putting an order in for this one. Less than impressed with the "hot-rodded' Fisker Karma.
    At 3:00 "Not sure exactly what the future will bring." Not a great business plan :eek:

    This cars key feature is the independent motor at each wheel for turning/rotating, yet it isn't barely mentioned in the test drive (never mind demonstrated).
    Also, it's single gear, top speed bias (206 mph), hurts 'normal' speed range acceleration.
    At 21:10 the guy tries to explain why it only has a single gear. For a $100k Tesla Model S Performance that's fine, but for a $1.3 mil 'supercar', not so much.

    The $110k (?) Porsche Taycan has a 2-speed trans.

    wonder what darko guy thinks of this video now. cant be pleased. $1.3m and jay doesn't seem impressed. whole purpose of the car is to have 4 wheel vectoring and jay doesn't mention how it drives other than doesn't seem that fast. and how does jay not know its based on a fisker? that really surprised me.

    Did you see where we were driving ? Surface streets around Burbank with Jay waving to everyone including the CHP.

    I don't know if you saw the earlier video at the airstrip.

    Great attempt and totally unrealistic pricing.
    Especially in light of new product coming soon from Tesla (Plaid) and Lucid Air Dream Edition, both over 1000hp, mid $100k pricing.
    Lucid Performance coming next Fall with 1300+ hp.

    i think the only other quad motor in pipeline is the lotus and if they think its worth doing, i bet it really will be a game changer.
