Looks like the lovechild of a VW Rabbit and a Tesla. What's with the digital deerwhistles on the snout?

Let's see what the production version looks like. I admire Alpine and their drive to lighter cars. They even make Lotus look heavy these days!

Agreed, manufacturers should be making cars lighter for better efficiency and by reducing weight they stop sooner too therefore safer.

This is especially an issue for EVs/Hybrids. I think I previously mentioned the new compact sports saloon from AMG, the C63. Only a 2.0 4 cyl with batteries - 2.1 tonnes! Excess weight is now presenting itself a problem for multi storey car parks and bridges!

My Suzuki Swift, 1020kg with me in it! 110bhp...not sure of 121mph top speed, it barely does a ton...anyone know of a long downhill straight that has a constant tailwind? :auto178:

I have been keeping my head down on this one but some are now saying they like it so I will too.

It great to see manufacturers not playing safe and pushing design which for me is a good thing.
