This is an interesting interview conducted by evo to the CEO of one of the major sports car brand in the world. Surely one of the most important today - Mclaren Automotive.
Let me say I'm very sorry for the quality of the photos, but I think the important can be read. I highly recommend the magazine to every... ahem... petrolhead(?)... erm... ok anyone that loves cars.
I'll just highlight this quotes:
"[on the task of engineering the "Thrill of Driving" to an EV] Making it fast enough isn't a challenge. Tesla are building vehicles weighing two, two-and-a-half tons that have got phenomenal acceleration, and building an EV is actually probably more straightforward than a conventional powertrain."
"(...) For track use we've actually looked at how long people go out on tracks and typically 20 or 30 minutes at a time is a good use, then you come back in and put in on a rapid charge. You'll get it back up very quickly to about 80 per cent battery and then go out, use it and enjoy it."
"[on autonomous] First of all, I see it as an inevitability. On a very personal level, I don't have a any problem driving but that's kind of irrelevant because it is where I see the world going and it does drive safety and it will drive efficiency as well".
