“Change like we’ve not seen in decades”—high-end auto designers go electric
“Change comes hard. And sometimes, it’s slow. Until recently, no industry played closer to that model more than that of the automobile. Ever since the first series-produced cars of the 1900s placed the big internal combustion lump of iron at the front, the drive wheels at the back, and the passengers in the middle, the form factor of the automobile has stayed largely the same for 100 years. Variations have cropped up here and there—like rear-engine cars, front-drive cars with engines placed transversely, and the odd mid-engine car—but the reality for designers and engineers of the future’s electric cars is more wide open now than in the prior 100 years…”
