theorganist Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I could see myself in one of those. That is the first time I have said that about an electric car. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 There is no way that will pass modern pedestrian or crash safety standards. Looking at the finish, it looks like someone built it by buying generic car bits off AliExpress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Looks like they used an old IZH/Moskvich, and knowning Russian build quality, will probably fry you if you touch the door handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busmansholiday Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It looks dreadful, therefore guaranteed to be the first true AS electric car to be admired in future years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Looks like it's running bog standard suspension up front on cut springs. There grille gives it a "stretched mk2 Escort" look. Wonder how it behaves at high speed*? Looks like the front end would create all kinds of odd pressure zones. I'm worried more by the RoboCop ED-209 contraption they have in the article outside their factory... Phil *Kalashnikov, guaranteed to grenade?
