Love that they scoff at electrification. Bring sports cars back to optimum feedback and responsiveness, the natural way.
There's new materials and fibers we can use to increase responsiveness instead of relying on electric steering. The old hydraulic units had a perfect balance of feel and maneuverability. I think we co.panies are going the wrong way with sports cars.

They'll likely want $2,000,000+ for them, and if they ever get built, they will sell 3. And of those customers, only one will be able to drive it the way it is intended.

Where does it say that it won't rely on electric steering? Especially if it's a 3-pedal manual. Good luck getting to 125 MPH in 6.5 seconds in one of those without killing yourself!!! It cannot have those kind of numbers and give you real feedback. Go watch some Koenigsegg videos and realize that the whole thing needs to be fly-by-wire to compensate for how fast things happen at those kinds of speeds / accelerations.

I'll wait to see real performance numbers - except I doubt that this will ever be built.
