Does this mean you won't get the thrill of driving with suspected rusted fuel lines with the imminent danger of a mk2 catching fire?  Or will the electric mk2 just randomly turn the heater up?

No smell of petrol - or sound- to stir the soul.

Price?

Good grief. That’s like buying a print of a da vinci masterpiece for 3 times the price of the original.

Not for me.

Maybe they're only doing them to the Rallye edition and 50k of it is the car.

If a £50k 8R doesn’t hit the spot and a £60k RS3 a bit too steep then how about sinking your company car allowance into one of these? https://www.pistonheads.com/news/electric-vehicles/new-skoda-enyaq-coupe-is-first-all-electric-vrs/45258

Surely more appealing than one of the crushingly dull (un)inspired design [ID] Volkswagen siblings especially in that colour!
Likely to have the same dodgy brakes though.
