Orange squash: the world’s fastest electric filing cabinet



It might be a typically sunny afternoon in LA, but the drivers in SoCal’s biggest city are in an uncharacteristically foul mood. Squashed into the back of what feels like a motorised filing cabinet filled with more static than Dixons on Christmas Eve, I can’t see very much of what’s happening ahead. But I can see plenty of what’s going on either side, and it ain’t pretty.
A candy-floss-coiffured old dear wearing pearls and bifocals in a gold Honda Civic is giving me, or rather the vehicle I’m riding in, the finger. And a heavily tattooed Mexican with slicked-back hair in a Toyota pickup is also visibly upset. What’s that he’s saying? “[Something very rude]” Oh, yes. That.

Well, yes and no. As much as I wanted to finish this story with the line ‘The future's bright, the future's orange', I can't. I admire the left-field thinking that has gone into the Tango, but it doesn't really work for LA yet, and not just because people plainly hate lane-splitting cars. It's also because the T600 has to be built from a kit, charged from an elusive plug-in station and, the final nail in the coffin, you can buy a lane-splitting, infinitely better-looking Ducati 1198 for a tenth of the price.
So, unless I missed something, for all its enormous power and ferocious acceleration, this is one Tango I'll be sitting out.
