    We heard rumors before the 2018 Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb that Volkswagen was bringing a contender to challenge the EV record. With the car being wholly untested on the mountain, Volkswagen didn’t think it had a chance at the overall record. Turns out VW was very wrong. The ID R is all-wheel drive and…

    It didn’t have to be this one. Could be any 2Cv, really. In fact, it doesn’t have to be a 2CV at all, but the Tin Snail perfectly embodies the spirit of what it is I’m getting at. Earlier this year, I attended the annual SMMT driving day shindig at Millbrook Proving Ground, where all…
