I'm not sure what you're talking about.

A big hint is the smiley, like a big 2x4 smacking you upside your head

I wasn't sure what you were talking about either. Seemed to me that you didn't understand what the whole purpose of this thread was.

I know some people talk alot about Ghosn but I really like Francois Bancon. He has been the (Nissan) guy that I really listen to the most and probably has the most detailed design knowledge of the sort of Nissan projects us EV folks appreciate. Francois reminds me of an architect I worked with alot during my 20's. Both very thoughtful and holistic in their approaches to design. Great interview with him about E-Merge here;

My favorite part of the interview;

"The modern affluent buyer may not always have amassed their wealth in a socially harmonious manner, but that buyer wants to have a clean green conscience at least. He wants a hot, yet clean sports car!”

French pragmatism can be brutally honest and really funny sometimes. I really appreciate Ghosn's guts but if I could sit and chat with anyone at Nissan, Francois would be the guy.

Wow! THREE drivetrain choices.

It's a BEV, ICEV, and FBOSV...

...The UK-designed and built concept had a slightly awkward moment on Friday during the demonstrator laps, as according to a video filmed by YouTube user 'MrDHandZ', it either broke down or ran out of electric juice at some point during the race and was carried away on a truck....
