Alex Hirschi is 'Supercar Blondie', one of the most well-known and successful motoring bloggers in the world. She has more than seven million subscribers on Facebook, 3.7 million Instagram followers and about 1.7 million YouTube subscribers. And now, she took the ID. BUGGY for a ride. 'It's a clever concept with a green, fully-electric buggy,' says the Australian national. 'Hearing those waves crash is my favorite sound. You can only hear that when you sit in a completely silent car. That's why, when you are out here, it makes sense to be able to hear nature instead of just your engine. It all fits together really well.'
Indeed, those who drive the ID. BUGGY get a whole new appreciation for what it means to drive silently and the difference between doing that in a closed car versus an open one. It's just a more intense experience. The beach cruiser doesn't have doors or a roof. Nothing hinders ambience sounds from getting to the driver and passengers, giving them a much more visceral experience. But they won't hear the car itself. Only the tires crunching through the sand, the wind of the Pacific and the howl of California's sea lions out on Bird Rock.
