From a purely engineering standpoint these are both terrible EV shapes. In aerodynamic and battery fitment senses.

But I want the top one soooo bad. An R5 Turbo has been a dream car of mine since the 80s, along with the Ford RS200 and Delta Integrale.

    The R5 Turbo EV is limited to 1980 something cars. I talked to dealer who had a couple of preorders. Renault was asking for a ~50k€ (refundable at least) deposit of prospect buyers. They all paid their deposit and waited over year for new information which wasn't forthcoming so they all pulled their orders over time.
