This could have been great but its not

I was watching this doug demuro review of the koenigsegg gemera and at first liked the idea of a 1700 hp car with a back seat. But then i found out its a "hybrid" with 3 electric motors and a 3 cylinder twin turbo charged gas engine and only 30 miles electric range.



This could have been great with a 1700hp gas engine but in the hybrid configuration im not interested at all.

That 600hp twin turbo charged 3 cylinder will surely life a long healthy life...
And 1700hp is cool but 30 miles range not so much...

Cool car, but disappointed in the range. Zero to sixty in under two seconds is pretty amazing.
The video host, though, was so annoying that I had to bail after less then five minutes.

how can you do a review without driving it?

 

[Richard Cranium]

The thing is fu-fu-fugly.

I like the styling, but not the color. I'd rather have a real drivetrain instead of what it has now.

Shoot, Dougie did a review of the new Bronco coming out. He reviewed what was basically a full size model. I don't think it even had an engine!

Looks fragil-e must be Italian ( Xmas story )

Dude has like 4 million subscribers and makes a ton of loot off his YT channel....
The millennials love him and he gets to drive a lot of seriously high-dollar stuff
because of it.
I start up one of his videos upon occasion just to pester the wife.
"THHHHIS!!....." and she gets all pissed.
(Yes, he's annoying as hell - comes from the Jalopnik crowd originally)

Especially the color. Seeing allot of that puke, mud, scower **** *** shade these days. I don't understand the appeal.
Millennials in the design department perhaps?

I agree and my guess it that many of them do not want to stand out as their driving skills may be lacking somewhat!

30 miles electric range...not impressive. But 1700 hp. and a hybrid range of 621 miles, now it seems alright. Not a lot of four seaters will top out at 249 mph. or do a 10.2 quarter mile.

Tesla shouldn't be worried, only 300 of these will be built.

Question is how many of these 1700 horses you can use in order to get 621 miles of range.

I'm also not a fan of the design. I just like the idea of a 1700 hp 4 seater.

The only electric cars I'm ever going to be interested in are slot cars.

Looks to me like rattle-can primer covered in clearcoat.

I don't get it. "Destroyer Gray" is a Chrysler color, just the same. Shiny primer.

The roof line profile kills the whole car for me, looks like a 65' Marlin going reverse cow girl on a new vette.

Maybe the Millennials remember Grandpas old Plymouth colour.

does it have bluetooth?

 

[multimopes]

By this time it might have "no-tooth!"

I think it was actually called black tooth back in those days.
