The movie "Apex: The story of hypercars" has recently been added to Netflix. While the hypercars are at the opposite end of the financial spectrum from Locosts, it is interesting that both Locost and hypercar constructors are simply "building their dream", to quote the movie. It was worth watching.

I really like Von Koennennenesssigiseggsig now. He's a very humble dude literally just carrying out his wildest dreams.

The cinematography in it is absolutely gorgeous.

A friend told me about the movie, I'll check it out. Got a really good look at P1 and the back is crazy. It looks like an LMP car. You see the bits and bobs.. Radiators and what not. East to tell its made for one thing...going fast. Was not as impressed with the Bugatti. Don't really like the way it looks, very nicely made though. My wife got a good look at a Huyara in Charleston this spring. She thought it was incredible. If only I really could say it properly.
