If 911s aren"t quite your thing, then the star of the LA motor show has surely been Rivian. Somewhat out of the blue, the electric vehicle company has shown two apparently production-ready cars with outlandish performance figures. The R1S seven-seat SUV and and R1T five-seat pick-up both claim 0-60mph in 3.0secs, up to 400 miles of electric range and Level 3 autonomy, while starting at around 50,000 in the States. But we ought not to be too shocked. The company"s been going almost a decade and has former McLaren people on board. "The company started about nine years ago, and electric adventure vehicles have been our focus for seven years," says Rivian"s Ken Scuman. "This is really what electric is made for because of the torque of EV systems."
