Three questions

What’s with the weird clicking, creaking noises.

Where’s the yoke?

Seems to have kill switch, race seats and harnesses - are they all part of the track package?

Oh and why is it slower than a 12 year old Nissan in the wet?

Are there any other 1000bhp production cars that have set times? Either way it’s a quick machine, if a bit understeery going by that video.

You do realise that it weighs the same as a small house?

Is that a road car?

It has a roll cage in it.

I was replying to Terminator X but the Plaod isn’t much heavier than a Veyron for example. 2.1T or so.

It’s no lightweight sports car but it’s impressive for a large road car EV or not.
