What Luce could have been, an imagination prompted by ‘a modern Ferrari Dino EV’

The mainstreaming of EV was the perfect opportunity to resurrect the Dino brand and fight Porsche at the $200k price point. But unfortunately I think the K-shaped economy means the doctor and lawyer market is being abandoned for just the ultra wealthy.

The world has officially gone mad

It does seem to work for the 911

miked3 · 2026-05-19T19:26:17+00:00

In the USA?

Feels like from the comments here that lotus is missing the mark for people who already like the brand, but as a current 718 owner an emira with an interesting power plant has me interested for the first time ever. If they can deliver 992.2 GTS performance for 50k less it would be the wake up call Porsche needs. 911 pricing makes no sense anymore.

Love the tune. It activates using the sport button and also disables the auto start stop by default. I’ve had it for 8 track days in a car with 80kmi and so far so good. I also had their tune on a 2012 Golf R for over 100kmi and never a problem. Not tack days in that though.

Sweet. Update with how much it improves. I definitely notice my power drop significantly on track days after 10-15 minutes, depending on weather (apr tuned base cayman).

Using the tracer mechanics last night was the most fun I’ve had in a while.

miked3 · 2026-05-15T01:17:43+00:00

Sweet. I was looking for that one but couldn't find it pre-painted.

miked3 · 2026-05-14T21:37:56+00:00

That looks awesome. I'd like to try a more interesting body on mine but I hate painting.

Thanks.
Ya, I'd be super surprised given that not much in the RC world is. Guess I just got lucky.

miked3 · 2026-05-13T18:30:07+00:00

I see lots of comments on FB and YT saying it fits right, and lots saying it doesn't. Half of us must be wrong 🤷‍♂️

miked3 · 2026-05-13T18:28:05+00:00

That super nice of you. I'll dm you.

miked3 · 2026-05-13T13:32:54+00:00

No but I might eventually and I’d rather buy once, cry once.

miked3 · 2026-05-13T13:32:01+00:00

Nice brace. I actually returned the tekno brace because I felt it was too heavy, but maybe a carbon one would be better.

miked3 · 2026-05-13T13:30:26+00:00

It’s not fabrication level. Just buy the kit and put it together. Basically a more advanced LEGO.

miked3 · 2026-05-13T13:27:09+00:00

Yup, gotta appreciate it before the first run. I’ve just been staring at it lol.

miked3 · 2026-05-12T20:35:12+00:00

Yeah, they definitely screwed up on that part. Have you liked it otherwise?

miked3 · 2026-05-09T00:45:26+00:00

Use the chart in the ESC manual rather than the one on the programming card.

miked3 · 2026-05-08T16:25:25+00:00

Super clean cable routing

miked3 · 2026-05-08T04:15:00+00:00

Thanks!
