Hypercars are the ones with unique, off-the-wall-styling. I think the problem is that not enough cars look like that. Personally, I love Citroën because their cars look unique, and also love Škoda for the same reason.
My point is pretty much all manufacturers are trying to copy the unique off-the-wall styling and throwing it on their hybrid econoboxes making it no longer unique.
It doesn't though. It only has 2. The others are fog lights and head lights. I would say that it has a funky modern European styling, like the rest of the Citroen range. The cactus is also a good example. It only has two very small air intakes on the front since it has a small and very efficient engine. It also has Citroen's current funky minimalist modern styling. The car is also very lightweight at 965kg(up to 1070kg) or 2,127lb which means it still does 0-60mph in about 10 seconds with an 80mpg(imperial) engine. They do also make more traditional looking cars too.
Holy crap the Cactus weighs under 1000kg? There are cars just the same size that weigh twice as much nowadays, how did they do it? I'm guessing good materials + small engines + minimalist design?
Smart design and use of lighter materials. As much hate as people seem to give that car I really like it, from an engineering perspective and visual design. Since it must have taken a fair chunk of effort to get it down to those sorts of weights. Especially for £12,260 new when other cars like the fiat 500x cost from £13,500 and up. Somehow they managed to get lightweight, cheap and safe into the same car. If they offered a more powerful engine model I imagine it would probably be pretty quick in terms of acceleration.
Well, my love for the Cactus has just been fairly strengthened. Just the PSA group being awesome as always.
I think this is the first real "bad driver" clip I've caught. Of course the camera makes it look super lame and it rendered in shitty quality for some reason. Some would say I'm partially to blame for flying up the right lane I'm sure, but it doesn't excuse checking your mirrors after you've started to change lanes.
i was driving in the left lane recently. there was the yellow lined median. some guy turned into the median and then proceeded to almost side swipe me by coming out of the median, probably because he didnt check his mirrors. i need a dashcam.
I had a similar situation this summer. I was following a jeep which was following a slow car in the left lane, I think the jeep and I were both waiting for the slow car to go into the left lane so we could pass. I finally got tired of waiting and started to pass both of them in the left lane and of course the slow car finally decided he wants to move right to let the jeep pass and almost pits himself on the front of my truck. I got on the brakes pretty hard, especially with a few pallets of concrete pavers on the trailer I was towing, and he luckley saw me at the last second. I need a dashcam as well.
Yeah, I've never really understood that. Traffic was moving slow in the left lane and I was already in the right lane moving at a pretty good clip. If there's an open lane I'm gonna use it. In Tennessee, where I live and where this occurred, it is legal to pass on the right on multi-lane roadways. Slower traffic is technically required by law to keep right but there isn't really any enforcement.
I've I've not watched your video yet, supposed to be getting up for work etc. But we do get circumstances where it's obvious you're gonna pass inside. Standstill traffic and inside lane starts moving you aren't gonna wait for the right to start before you move etc. Junctions too. But open road? Passing inside and lane hogging are both offences
