Re: A very silly car
Have to agree.
Rather pointless.
Performance that hardly any driver could utilise, even if it were legal.
I recall some years ago Mr Bean crashed his McLaren F1,twice, and he has racing experience!
Still, The Bug is probably not the sort of car that one buys to drive, and we are not the intended market.

It's a pretty cool status symbol if you've got that kind of spare cash to splash, which is probably the point.
Someone said on another thread that the class system only exists in Britain and India these days, but I disagree

Re: A very silly car
Having looked at this it has a few issues when viewed for towing my caravan.
But at the price they are asking you would think adding a bit more weight would be easy to do. I'll wait for the Top Gear review and probably buy the cycle that it races against.

Re: A very silly car
If you have your own private straight 4-lane highway at a minimum 5 miles long , then it will be difficult not to buy it.

Re: A very silly car
I suppose more positively one could compare it to a high-end watch.
At the end of the day - and in between if you remember to wind it - it only tells the time.
But the standard of work, the people employed, one should be glad that such quality exists even if only for its own sake.

I'm in Germany at the moment, where much of the autobahn network has no speed limit. And to me it seems plenty drivers would utilise whatever performance was available to them.

Even in Germany tricky to drive fast.
I used to (up to 2022) take the ferry every year to Amsterdam or Rotterdam then drive across Netherlands/Germany to Puttgarden to cross into Denmark then head for Sweden, every time there were restricted speeds /roadworks.
The only time relatively recently that I could just floor the car was a brief stretch down nearer Frankfurt when my son was living there, before that it was a long time back driving from Hamburg up to Denmark in circa 1994/1995.
The German drive as fast as you like has never been there for me, they spend all their time digging up their roads such that one averages 56mph
