Has anybody been following this?
It's a French EV and it's very sexy!
120K Euros though, bah......

The shape is almost identical to a Tesla?

The silhouette, travelling at speed, may appear similar but only if you take off your glasses and squint!
The devil is in the detail.

It’s a hydrogen fuel cell car rather than pure EV.

 

[Clockhookandlook]

It's purely electric, just of the FC variety instead of the B variety!

What a terrible web site!

What a terrible web site!

Agreed. Felt like CyberDog from 2001.

Feels like a forum shill/bot trying to pump some shares.

Yeah the website looks a bit naff!

What do you mean by shill or bot? I hope you don't mean me?

Tesla meets Aston Martin is what I thought

Plastic Omnium, one of the tier 1 manufacturers involved has a video of it.
I'd say Aston is much, much more appropriate than Tesla!

You can see the French-ness of the car though. It wouldn't lookout of place in Peugeot's or Alpine's future EV lineup.
