Which was apparently very easy on Fiats that used Russian steel.

Stick them both on Silverstone. Let's see who's in the lead after 10 laps. If the electric behemoth lasts 10 laps.

More Elephant Vehicle racing


Nominally over 1000 Horespower, 60 in 3 seconds or less, tops out at 113 Mph as delivered.
The GMC requires an HGV licence I believe, being over 4000 Kilos.

The very definition of being powerfully built, hung like a Porn Star and spunking on the Duvet.

WHOA!!!!!...... Oh thats it ?

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/ ... time-fuels
Recharging stations every 60 km for cars, every 120 km for trucks and buses, hydrogen refuelling stations every 200 km
Charging without subscription and paying for alternative fuel per kWh, kilogram, minute or session

MEPs successfully negotiated that electric charging pools for cars with a minimum 400 kW output will have to be deployed at least every 60 km along core TEN-T network routes by 2026, with the network’s power output increasing to 600 kW by 2028. For trucks and buses, charging stations have to be provided every 120 km. These stations should be installed on half of main EU roads by 2028 and with a 1400kW to 2800 kW power output depending on the road. EU countries have to ensure that hydrogen refuelling stations along core TEN-T network will be deployed at least every 200 km by 2031.

Looks like the MEP's are going all in on electric. That's an awful lot of cable and infrastructure to put in in a few years!

The EU Parliament is just a talking shop in my opinion.

It just has a budget for its own, massive, running costs and soon will be rendered impotent by 'Qatargate'. It can issue as many 'rules' as it wants but the money has to come from somewhere and the pot is empty.
