pft, it’s a sports car so put a baseball card or 4 in the spokes so it sounds like a sports car. while it seems to handle the inside curve fine, it was all over the road on the outside curve of that S-turn (although that might be the driver).

. . . while it seems to handle the inside curve fine, it was all over the road on the outside curve of that S-turn (although that might be the driver).
Quite so, we need to see The Stig’s lap for a proper evaluation. ;-)
Don’t worry about translation, basically announcer guy guy is playing it 100% straight faced as if it were a real porsche, light, fast, simple stripped down mechanics…
For a ‘sports luxury’ gig, this thing is painfully slow. The top speed of a recumbent bicycle is 132.47 km/h (82.33 mph) with a sustained speed of 87.12 km/h (54.13 mph). The guy in the video should have been at least able to at least beat a lawn mower in a time trial.

Made me laugh too! ….I LOVED the sound (or lack thereof) of the doors closing. Kind of the Porsche version of a duct tape prom dress.

This is the car that Fred Flintstone couldn’t afford.

The way the Austrian approaches this with dead earnestness is awesome. I like the part about the large air entries for sweaty drivers.

My kingdom for an English translation. Or I’ll work with French.

Q: What’s the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche?
A: The pricks are on the outside of a porcupine.

I love the way there is NO body roll. The Ferdinand stays dead flat through the corners! This thing is tighter than the Lotus Exige!
