I'm not sure whether he's sarcastic but that is a lot of glitter with some uncomfortably large chunks.

It's very surprising the car still drove fine with this.

Pretty cool but I'm sure it'll be yet another $500k++ restomod, of which they'll build half a dozen, and none of them will ever see actual road use (except for the press ones).

Yup, around here 30k€ seems to be the base price for any of these, let alone a 2.0L clean one. They do hold their value well, so they're not that expensive to own. Cost per mile is high though..

I *think* the point of large motors in EVs is also the ability to harvest more energy under braking. And if it's there, you might as well make that power available under acceleration.
