Sub-Zero.

Yes it removes the screaming V8 from a timeless classic shape.

But it keeps that timeless classic shape on the road for future generations and also it's -as far as I know- the only replica of a Le Mans race car that you could drive on the road without paying any road tax or city congestion fees.
 
Cool. A combination of a timeless classic shape with modern electric technology.
 
If replicas are done really well I have no problem with them.

Some cars are so desirable, but in turn, so rare and so expensive that they are simply a way for mere mortals to drive their dream... but only if they are done properly.

Not sure why you'd build a Cobra Coupe replica and not give it a huge, noisy V8 though.

Uncool.

Cool, because it's an evocative design with modern technology. Uncool because kit car. I only vot meh in extreme situations, so, Uncool it is.
 
I love teh Daytona Coupe. But having an electric engine? It's not the time yet so, it's Uncool.

The iddea of them grabbing the Daytona Coupe as base saved it from being Seriously Uncool. Now if a Toyota Prius had a proper engine, it would be great.
 
Kit cars aren't cool, but I wouldn't really mind them. Electric cars aren't really cool either, but I don't them. Electric kit car is pretty, pretty uncool already - but I still wouldn't mind.

But... An electric kit car that poses as a roaring V8 race car from a decade when environmentalism wasn't a thing? Hell no. SU.
 
To be fair, I don't think we can automatically consider enviromentalist smugness as an intended reason behind using the Cobra Daytona body. It's probably just be a cynical way to try to increase sales.
 
It's a replica of a very, very, very cool car thats powered by electricity. As soon as the oil runs then I would think it to be a cool car. But since it hasn't I reckon its uncool.
 
Uncool since it's a 1 speed CVT. Otherwise it would be cool or higher. The remake of the Daytona Coupe does ding it down though.
 
Timeless shape. Awesome power. Annoys the right people. And it's an electric performance car, which means it's awesome! SZ. Most of the people who hate on fast electric cars haven't driven on. Trust me when I say that electric cars are amazing. Fast electric cars are in another league. Certain ridiculous people don't like it, but anyone who actually tries it will love this car, I'm sure of it.
 
I didn't even notice that it was electric.

When will someone get around to making a Ford Sierra replica. That would be cool.
 
Cool, it makes purist upset because it's electric. Plus I have no idea what "twin sequential axial flux motors" are but I feel like I need them in my life.
I read it as Axial flow motors for a second and thought of this.
