    A great, modern reinterpretation of a classic. Love it!

    Cost?

    And only for 100K each.

    First off, why no headrests? Whiplash is inevitable…especially duning! Also, ergonomic seats are a priority with variable lumbar support for an all day romp…This should be a standard safety item, not a custom feature!

      It’s a modern electric take on a 60s era buggy so yes, no headrests. Get a neck brace 😉

    Like the concept. Could easily have been electric 4 wheel drive so as not to get stuck in the sand.

    Brian does a lot of EV content, is he a more of a fan of electric power over petrol power?

    No headrest to prevent whiplash in a crash? An unsafe car.

    The meyers manx has always been my favourite car of all time… Now that they’re remaking it, i’m considering getting a driver’s license to actually validate it.

    I absolutely love this, it would be perfect where I live. My biggest concern is with only 325/year manufactured the price will be sky-high and only the thieving magpie peddlers will get them…
    btw excellent reporting and photography. I don’t see where to sign-up for one, looked several times on the MM 2.0 EV website, ugh.

    Crazy to see all these people in the shot not in awe that they’re in the presence of the great Cooley. Another amazing breakdown

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
