Meet the RBW Roadster
Picture this: you’re cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway in a charming little roadster that looks like it rolled straight out of a British classic movie. Enter the RBW Roadster, a handcrafted electric vehicle that’s making waves in Santa Monica. With a unique retro style, it’s not just eye candy; it’s filled with modern conveniences like CarPlay and Android Auto, packed in a 9-inch screen that says ‘I’m vintage, but I keep up with the times!’
Driving Dynamics
While the adventure started with a quick jaunt around the congested streets, we had a taste of what the RBW Roadster has in store for us. The steering? Delightfully tight, with a playful weight that feels just right in your hands. Unlike other electric vehicles that make you feel like you’re playing tug-of-war, this little gem responds swiftly to your throttle commands. Gone are the mushy pedal feelings—this car wants to engage, and trust me, it delivers!
Performance: A Fun Ride Without the Turbo Charge
Now, let’s talk power—or the lack thereof. This isn’t a Tesla Model S Plaid that sports neck-snapping acceleration. With a leisurely 0-60 mph time of around 9 seconds, the RBW Roadster is more about the experience than the adrenaline rush. However, rumors of a juicier version for the U.S. market are already floating around, which might shave off a second or so. Wouldn’t some extra oomph make the ride even more memorable? Either way, it’s not about speed; it’s about the thrill of driving a uniquely British delight!
