Anyone seen/heard about this Rivian? Looks a bit strange but appears promising. Just a shame it doesn't sport the Green Oval...

Not 100% sold on the styling but the rest is promising, 400 mile range and 4 in hub motors sound like a winner.

Pity it looks like it was designed by the same person who designed some Russian and Eastern Block cars during the 60’s...🤮

ARB will be gutted, they won't be able to sell Air Leakers for it. [bigrolf]

They’ll come up with a bunch of other stuff to bolt on.....

Need these dam new rigs to be Mulgo Poptop friendly.

4 motors yes but I don't think 'in hub' motors, I can't imagine hub motors / wheel motors are practical (except for bikes) with existing technologies. Look like inboard motors with half shafts & cv joints to the hubs .

I've watched the video a few times and i think the concept is awesome, if only they made the headlights horizontal instead of vertical.
The chassis has an uncanny resemblance to a D3/4 with what looks like air struts, even the bumper bar looks like an LR part.
