Not a patch on the design of the new Honda E
If you want to see how to design an electric car have a look at it, a feast for the eyes. Treat yourself

Sadly the production model isn't a patch on the concept. Big disappointment to me.

Bigger wheels and a tickle with the slamming stick and it’s closer than most production cars get to the concept.
But I think it’s ruined by how the roof/windscreen junction has changed. The whole glasshouse on the concept is lovely. I guess it’s an aero/wind noise thing.

Production Engineers got hold of it!
See what you mean about the whole roofline design, must have been too tricky ($$$$?) to follow the concept.
The AUDI TT and the Boxster managed to get through this stage relatively unscathed I think.

Stumbled across this amazing and mesmerising video of the automation on the Taycan production line.
