Hint: he has remained faithful to the BMW engine, but there is also everything said.

Earlier this year, decided Rowan Atkinson are twice botched McLaren F1 in the sale to do, a move by the large group of filthy rich prospective-F1-owners with a great shout was received and Atkinsons bank account with a few million (exact amount unknown) £ spekte.

Meanwhile, the petrolhead Rowan are replacement transport within, this time not with fiery V12, but with a buzzing elektromotortje: it was a BMW i3. Quite a change, but if you think about it, it is not illogical car: the unsightly high thing has a high instep, and as Atkinson has been the 60+ club is joined, a car must be also be practical.

In addition, you have an EV in London does not suffer from the congestion zones and drag race you there on a short piece of a M3 yet. Missing V12 sound? There is also a solution for. It is not clear whether he is for the pure electric model is gone, or for the version with two-cylinder range-extender. A Model S was, perhaps, slightly too big for the city traffic.

A picture of the sacred bean of Atkinson beside his new acquisition you can find here.
