mkultra25 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Porsche's 919 Hybrid Evo absolutely obliterated the lap record at the Nuerburgring, a record that had stood for 35 years previously: https://jalopnik.com/onboard-view-shows-how-porsche-destroyed-the-all-time-n-1827235601 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardThomas96 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm faithful to Ford. It was always out family brand and I continued this tradition into my adulthood. I have a brand new (2018) Fiesta right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a common car by any means, but there are plenty of other cars that are worth far more than $4 million. A Ferrari GTO just sold at Monterey in August for $48 million. That's a pretty extreme example, though, as the GTO is arguably the most desirable collector car out there, and the hammer price set a new record for a car sold at auction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBp9QmDFTfY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Polestar 2 https://www.carscoops.com/2019/03/2020-polestar-2-ev-revealed-402hp-78kwh-battery-275-miles-range/ Polestar, a division of Volvo geared towards performance models for their lineup, is now introducing “electric performance vehicles”. Polestar 2 arrives ready to take on the Model 3. Personally, I’m not a fan. The body looks awkward from some angles...unfinished..dare I say..like a Chinese car rip off. Also don’t like the black plastic flares nor high ride height, you’d think it’d be much lower to the ground since Polestar is still going for performance. Here’s Polestar 1, a much more handsome machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Urbanizer - good points.. I think this is a huge positive. Good for volvo. I like their designs in general. I reserve final judgement until I see it on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black cladding on the rocker panels has the dual effect of making the body seem less tall, while also appearing to sit higher off the ground. I don't hate it exactly, but it does come off as a bit awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course in RO Not a fan of SUVs in general, but if you gotta have one, you could certainly do worse than a Urus. On the other hand, for the truly deep-pocketed, tuners have been doing some interesting things with Mercedes' G-Wagen in recent years, such as Brabus' 888-HP, twin-turbo V12 G900: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the aftermarket intercooler + exhaust and the TX2K window decal, I'd bet it has a twin-turbo-to-single-turbo swap under the hood and at least 500hp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkultra25 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Here's something I never expected to see offered for sale - an actual TAG/Porsche V6 turbo Formula 1 engine shoehorned into a 930: The combination of these engines and McLaren chassis ruled F1 in the mid-1980s - after some initial teething problems in 1983, they won successive world driving championships from 1984-1986. By way of comparison, here's a very brief video of Niki Lauda at an early test session for the new engine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's the number that was mentioned during the livestreamed event. There's a link on the main site to a configurator that lets you spec out and reserve one, but of course it doesn't display the pricing for the options. Must be a whole lot of folks daydreaming of a new Vette, because the configurator site crashed almost immediately after the main site went live during the event, and even the day after they still had an apologetic placeholder message up. Bet someone in GM's IT infrastructure group had some explaining to do. https://www.chevrolet.com/upcoming-vehicles/next-generation-corvette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
