Shouldn't surprise anyone, when the C8 first came out it was mentioned that the frame was designed with a battery pack in mind. This could have stupendoulsy quick acceleration with the front wheels getting in on the action.
In reply to GIRTHQUAKE :
A lot of them are fabricated to get clicks, too. At the ND Miata release, the head designer put all the "scoop!" renderings up on a screen and essentially pointed and laughed. Mazda doesn't really leak, so any "next Miata!!!1!!" articles you see are basically garbage.
GIRTHQUAKE said:I personally, refuse to believe any of these "leaks" aren't just another marketing gimmick.
I'd have to agree notice every new vehicle or model for any car has this leaked headlines
UPDATE: eRay details are out and it looks awesome! I wish I had an extra $110,000 laying around.
I wish these unimaginative developers would come up with better naming ideas beyond "Stick a bold E somewhere in there."
Corvette Amp. 1000 times better than E-Ray and I spent 20 seconds thinking about it.
In reply to Appleseed :
Yeah, but that's not obviously a Corvette. It could be a Hummer, or CUV, or the newest Bolt. E-Ray is a pretty clear connection to the Stingray branding, and it rolls off the tongue fairly well. I agree that e-(thing) is the new i-(thing) and this laziness has been around for a while, but this is a decent example of one.
