Guy Martin: The World's Fastest Electric Car?

[Ice Tea]

I've not watched it yet , he used to annoy me but has grown on me over the years.

It must have been tough when he first started out on TV as he has Asperger's.

I watched it, more interesting for the general info and look at various vehicles and tech.

If you enjoy Guy Martin this is his standard 90min challenge with plenty of tech / engineering talk. Seeing him enjoy how fast the Porsche was a highlight.

And if you can't stand him should you attempt to watch it? My girlfriend is from Yorkshire and even she can't stand the way he talks! Interested in the electric vehicle stuff though...

Give it a go, can't be as bad at the reversing noise.

What!!!

Guy Martin is fantastic... I love the way he gets mega excited at a bolt or washer..... This man genuinely loves engineering.

Just started watching it. What confuses me, isn't a Tesla faster the ones with multiple motors and insanity mode?

didn't know - explains, a bit, his effusive personality -
Should be more honest acknowledging his role in the technology being developed, but, it's good publicity/business for the companies.
the actual tech development was slim in this episode, versus tractor or plane say.
- yes, they had some interesting general ev info/make-weights; why he had to indulge those k*******/influencers .... had his teeth cosmetically done.

Exactly so I refrained from commenting and watched the program. I know that's not the OCUK way but it's all about timing and they'd already started filming. However I thought the old Model S Raven or Taycan Turbo S were already faster then Johnnies little Enfield. Not even including several exotic EVs already out there.

Bad program really probably hurried to production due to Covid. Went to a company with a year and a half waiting list and then expected them to do wonders which is why they ended up with the workshop runaround.

Needed more motors and weight ironically!

Nice to see the SwinE ebike (made in Swindon near where I work) plus a couple of my fav EV conversion companies regardless.
