It's been a little more than a year since Sony and Honda revealed their joint electric car project, the Afeela, and just a couple of months since an updated version of the car was shown at CES. Neither company has gone into great detail about the car parts of the EV, instead focusing on the interior and potential for infotainment.
Booting up the game, I hoped that maybe we might find some actual numbers listed. After all, the developers at Polyphony Digital would have to know specs to deliver a somewhat accurate driving experience. And while Polyphony probably knows the numbers, they clearly are following a request from Sony and Honda not to tell those numbers to the player. Horsepower, torque and weight are all left blank.
That's about all we can glean looking at menus, so it's time to take the Afeela for a spin. I mainly did a couple of laps on the Nürburgring with the Afeela, as well as the Teslas for comparison. We did know that the Afeela had a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup, and it feels very much like a conventional all-wheel-drive car. A lot of EVs have opted to use a bigger rear motor than the front motor, lending a rear-drive bias. That doesn't feel like what the Afeela has.
