It is already the case, and even if we try so hard, we will find someone who will give us wind on April 1st. It's no different in the automotive industry, where every year we witness some crazy idea. Are you interested in what they 'pulled' us this year?
These are the best April Fool's jokes from the automotive world.
Bankruptcy of Tesla
The first news was so unexpected that we instantly forgot about April 1st. Bankruptcy Tesla it hit like a bolt from the blue, and we found out about it through Elon's he tweets. The news didn't even come out of the blue, as there was already quite a bit of talk and speculation on the subject financial problems by Tesla. At first glance, the shocking news turned out to be a joke after a detailed analysis, because Elon Musk clearly did not have the heart to really want to scare us like that. He put a smile on our face with his witty tweet and proved once again that he still has a sense of humor. Well done, Elon!
Porsche Mission E tractor
Porsche's the news surprised us for one reason only. The Porsche Mission E tractor is just so cute that we didn't bother with what day it was on the calendar, we just wanted to know more about it. In the past, tractors have already carried the Porsche name, so despite our skepticism, we set about reading the press release. The numbers are impressive, because 700 horsepower it's not whooping cough, especially not for plowing a field. The Porsche Mission E tractor also offers fast charging and a bunch of apps that connect you with other Mission E tractor owners or give you 24-hour weather information. There is no information on when they will start production yet, but we are guessing that on April 1 next year.
Aston Martin Project Sparta
A combination of cars Aston Martin DBX and Valkyrie. The first for the body, the second for the drive. Underneath it all, huge 'big foot' bikes. The powerful off-roader is said to have been produced in just one copy and had quite 1,100 horsepower. It was reportedly made for the American Monster Jem competition, where off-roaders with extra-large wheels compete against each other. Projesct Sparta has a built-in atmospheric 6.5-liter 12-cylinder V-engine with hybrid technology borrowed from the Valkyrie AMR Pro car.
The April Fool's jokes gave us a good laugh and proved that the automotive industry still has a sense of humor and that they like to make fun of themselves. And yet, what if it's all true?
