1. standard shifting "H" pattern is old technology and best left on vehicles in museums, whereas sequential shifting (paddle-shifting) is what all F1 vehicles use (for a reason), but honestly with 50 HP it really will not matter, so why waste your time PRETENDING you are in a high-performance vehicle, and use it for what it is intended, a COMMUTER VEHICLE !

2. RED is the "fastest" color…( leave it on the fastest vehicles !)

3. a/c as it is required to defrost the windows, why not keep the body cool (so you can speed shift through those H patterns with that light speed 50 HP ?

:)
57hp of fun sounds like a baby Grand Prix car

Personally I never cared much for F1, Nascar is more fun. Paddle shifting is more like one of the early cars I had, a 56 Dodge with push button transmission.

I prefer and like the look and feel of my homemade classic shifter in my Mallett Sky.

Nice I love the wing !! ^^

Interesting thought on the shifter but I think it should be more car like that motor cycle like. I could live with paddle shifters for sure but I think it would be cheaper to just do the normal H pattern. I really REALLY hope they do a 6 speed though!
