Also, I have to question the logic of burying the backup lights that deep in the fake exhaust tips.

Hadn't noticed the intake thing and now that you've pointed it out it's all I can see.

The reverse lights reminds me of the time my ex discovered my Bus doesn't have any while we were talking to another Bus owner. "How do people know you're backing up?" "It starts moving backwards."

does The bus start making the beeping sounds even

You and your friend don't know what those terms mean.

The interior of the C8 is a hot mess.

It makes sounds...

Electric does have instant torque, and that translates to really fast acceleration times, and therefore good top trumps cards.

Electric motors are superior.
No need for a huge and heavy transmission, good torque over the full RPM range, more reliable, more power per weight, more efficient.
The problem is energy storage.
Batteries still have a lower energy density than gasoline.

If we could solve the battery weight and cost problem then internal combustion would be obsolete.

When all the biggest names (Ferrari, Porsche, Mclaren) in supercars are producing hybrid plug-in EV flagships, you know it's the future.

There are over a hundred years of cars already made that have those exhaust notes. We'll live.

Also the range thing doesn't really matter as much with super cars. Those things are garage queens anyway. Not a heaping amount of long distance road trips are made in them. They need to make it down to Coffee and Cars where they can show off how much money the person who bought them has.

The Lotus Evija passes 200mph. In theory, I guess. It's not tested yet.

The Taycan apparently has already outsold the 911 while also not having come out yet.

I mean, I guess you could have just read the article that was linked but okay.

It's not a hybrid. It's Lotus' new all electric hypercar that they're saying is the most powerful production car ever.
