The iCar 03, nice little torquey pull off the line, 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds.
00:17
This is a $25,000 car, it looks awesome.
00:21
It goes pretty quick, maxes out around 96 miles an hour.
00:25
But man, 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds, even quicker, quarter mile in 14.1 seconds, what a sweet
00:33
little package.
00:37
It would never happen with tariffs today, but could you imagine getting this to the
00:41
U.S. for less than $30,000?
00:44
It's like the Ford Maverick of SUVs, electric SUVs at that.
00:52
Noisy ABS pump, but feels pretty good, and brake stops are 126 feet, which isn't bad
00:59
for something pretending to be an off-roader, or maybe it really is an off-roader.
01:02
Unfortunately, we're not going to find out, we don't have an off-road course here.
01:07
Feels real solid under braking.
01:12
Figure 8 time.
01:17
All right, the hazards are going to come on no matter what I do, so I guess this is a
01:25
dangerous thing to be doing.
01:27
It feels pretty solid, I mean, it's understeery, but you know, that's okay, it's not a sports
01:33
car, it's not going to rotate on you.
01:36
279 horsepower, I think, which is pretty dang good for something this small and this cheap.
01:41
We're in the 27s, 27.6, that was quicker, 27.4, I'm having fun, isn't that what matters?
01:51
This thing is so good.
01:53
You never know if it's on or off again or what, but I think Ford still has the low-cost
01:57
Skunk Works EV program going on, and if so, I hope they build this.
02:01
I hope they make something just like this.
02:04
A little one-wheel peel on the exit there.
02:07
All right, build this, somebody, get it to the U.S. for less than $30,000.
02:13
We drove almost 20 cars in China, and the iCar 03 was the one that left me totally stoked.
