Terrapower has submitted a letter to the UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) which establishes its intention of entering the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process.

The sculptor's signature appeared on the plinth with the words "Charles Sykes, February 1911" or "Feb 6, 1911" or "6.2.11". Even after Rolls-Royce took over the casting of the figures in 1948 each Spirit of Ecstasy had this inscription until 1951.

On the road again, which sadly meant leaving behind the Rolls-Royce Spectre I've been testing for the past few days. I don't want to spoil the upcoming review, which you'll find on The Verge in time, but suffice to say this is perhaps the greatest EV on the market. It's easily among the greatest EVs of all time.
