1 “The Luggage is a fictional object that appears in several of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Its function is to act as both a luggage carrier & bodyguard for its owner, against whom no threatening motion should be made. The Luggage is fiercely defensive of its owner, & is generally homicidal in nature, killing or eating several people & monsters & destroying various ships, walls, doors, & other obstacles throughout the books.”
Enzo Ferrari has been quoted as saying, “Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.”1 While the Bollinger B1 all-electric, “sport utility truck”, could hardly be more different than anything that Enzo ever produced, it appears to share his contempt for aerodynamics. Although, if performance claims are realised, the Bollinger wouldn't be disgraced at the drag strip beside one of Enzo's creations.
● 360 horsepower (268 kW)
● 472 lb-ft torque (348 Nm)
● 4.5 seconds 0-60 mph (0-96.6 km per hour)
● top speed 127 mph (204 km per hour)
Drag strip potential aside, this, “sport utility”, is light on the sport, heavy on the utility.

Folding & removable rear seats + wide, flat rear payload area gives the Bollinger B1 capacious & flexible load carrying capacity. Pass-through from the frunk2 to the tailgate, allows long loads which exceed the wheelbase.
Removable rear canopy & adaptable rear window allows configuration as a two-row cabin ending at the tailgate (above), or as a single-row cabin with an open tray (top).
