Market experts have estimated that a compact car upgraded with Apple products would be of substantial interest to young target groups, according to German financial magazine Capital.
No shit. They’ll probably sell a billion of them to their respective cult followings. :tup:
Well I can’t disagree, that is a match made in heaven.
How will it drive and break with 1 pedal?
Hold down Shift + Gas
Rotate your foot clockwise vs counter clockwise on the pedal pad to brake or gas. The faster you rotate the faster you go/stop! BRILLIANT!
Hmmm… but what about the VTEK!?

Won’t matter because it’s not going to work on the majority of the roads anyway. At least none of the ones you’d actually want to drive on.
There will be an option of having it emulate a normal car, and drive on normal roads, but then it will be only half as fast as a normal car.

It’s going to be a bitch to have to send the car back to VW if you blow the motor…

I can just imagine the dealership, all the mechanics walking around in black t-shirs talking about how their car has never crashed
Leopard print bumper skins?
Works well out of the box, but you can’t mod it?

Yep, so when the battery dies you can pack up the car, ship it back to VW, have them charge you three times what a battery should cost (or free with the plan), and then ship it back. Regardless of cost all this time you’re stuck taking the bus. The people that just have autozone or sears slap in a new battery are laughing at you, but they’re just not cool enough for the iCar.
