One Of The Coolest 51 Cars at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show
Road & Track recently put together a cool car list. Specifically a 51 Coolest Cars listfrom the past half century. Why do that?R&D explains:
Cars dont just appear, they evolve, built on the technology and the style of what came before. Every now and then, its useful to take a step back, appreciate history, and get a glimpse of how todays efforts stand in the pantheon of preceding hardware.
well that, and it sells magazines. And people like to look at pictures of them on the Internets.
Scouring the list we find that only two are currently driven by members of the InsideEVs family, and those happen to also be the only twowhicharent classic fossil fuel abusers (althoughI personallyconfess to perhaps owning a certain car with a large bird on the hood once upon a time):
2014 BMW i8
When is a supercar not a supercar? When it is a carbon-fibred-bodied, three-cylinder hybrid that aims to rethink how we think speed, mass production, and everything that makes an exotic tick. The proportions are borrowed from BMWs awesome M1, a 1970s flop that waited 30 years for the world to appreciate it. Prediction: This wont take nearly as long.

2013 Tesla Model S
Beautiful, fast, and the first practical EV from a company that hadnt build a car, ever. Only amazing when you stop and think about it. Which you should.
