Miscellaneous Car News

Actually when it was first released I was very skeptical about a badge engineered mx5 (although I've always thought MX5 are quite nifty little toys), but I've since been informed / convinced there are significant differences... I may be guilty as charged of Italian bias, but it's a great little car whatever the label....

 

Wasn't the original called an Abarth 124 Rally

 

15 mins for 400 kms extra range.
Now we're talkin.
The tech is getting there.

The best video you will see today. Skip to 2mins 19s if you don't want to hear him rambling and enjoy over 20km on board a Maserati MC12 GT1

Only in Italy

 

It's Italy

 

Road going version of the MC12 recently @ Duttons held in their bonded area

Traditional white/blue colour combo

 

I heard you need to road register your MC12 in Germany to drive it in Europe, and inc. Italy, due to its low road height of the MC12, weird i know, Italian fun-police won't allow it, that's direct from a employee @ Maser factory in Italy!

I wonder if any lab/uni etc has tested a driver to see how he/she performs in a lower noise vehicle v's the high noise they currently operate in, LEXUS [maker of the finest vehicles on the planet] could well remove all NVH, driver is at peace, fully focused, not fatigue and goes faster, just a thought,,,,,,,,

 

I'd have one in a heartbeat if the bank balance allowed it, Still trying to decide if I could own a "LOOK at me" Lambo. Maybe it's the colour.

 

His tyre bill must be HUGE !!

 

570 are very popular in Sydney. I see them everywhere.

 

He has reputation for shreading tyres so from what I have seen the companies supply lots for his videos.

 

Interesting, if the 1/4 mile is your thing...

 

The grip levels on a runway vary massively (much like one side of F1 grid has an advantage). I bet they picked the ideal location for the Tesla for a guaranteed win.

I seen dyno runs for the P100D the numbers are actually closer to 700bhp which makes it the most powerful car by a country mile, It's not surprising it does 10's.

 

Shannons last night.A couple of interesting results,I liked the Roller Camargue and also think the Celica GT4 is a cheapy,very rapid and good handling.The 944 looks like it could be a stolen/recovered or cranky missus/mister by the interior.

Agreed. The GT4 was great value. A lot of bang for buck there.
