Built around a 900 V architecture. Drag coefficient at 0,21, a record low. More luxurious than Tesla Model S, against which comparisons were made in the press. Double wishbones at front, multi-link at rear. Excellent grip. Heavy, though with good handling. Named Motor Trend Car of the Year for 2022, the first time a new model from a start-up won the accolade.
