Renault also put it in the every Alpine model short of the A110, it was also used by Lancia (in the Thema). As you said Venturi used it both in its road cars and their racing counterparts.

Nevada basically bent over backwards to get the gigafactory and now Musk is approaching Texas to see if they'd be willing to share some of the incentive packages he'd already put together for a taste of his hyperloop.

Here the car's 2.0-liter turbocharged BMW engine puts out 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. It can do zero to 60 in just a tick over six seconds with the six-speed, paddle shift automatic. It's also got other JCW enhancements, like an electronic locking differential, a beefed up suspension, Brembo brakes…

To be fair, his car doesn't seem to be running on snow tyres.

What ill outlive what ? The complex german engineering or the virtual dash (it will be fun when the screen breaks, after warranty).

And I just saw the preface was done by none other than Jacky Ickx !!

Thanks ! I'll look into it.

I got none, but I'm really lusting after Daniel Simon's books, The Timeless Racer and Cosmic Motors.

Test drove a P85 a few months back, completely changed my vision of the electric car. Now I want one.

Well, that's funny. I live in Aix-en-Provence, France and the furthest cities are all in New Zealand, for which I'll leave France in a month or so.

Have we all forgottent about the Gallardo SuperTrofeo that took part in Targe High Country (Australian tarmac rally) and decided it would look better with fire coming out of its ass? That was badass!

WHAT IS THAT !?

And the Mini is still an heavy car, especially when you campare it to similar car. A Peugeot 208 is at least 70 lbs lighter in its heaviest model, and up to more than 400 lbs lighter. A Ford Fiesta is at least 330 lbs lighter than a brand new Mini. Quite an heavy car. And the 2-series is weighs 600 lbs more, with that…

For someone who doesn't want to settle for the next least powerful 2-series (aka the 218d), it could be great. Now if only it was lighter, something like 1200 kg at most would be awesome.

I didn't they made an hybrid Humvee, that's quite cool. As you've said, it stands to reason, so it's weird their have been no major production of hybrid trucks designed to improve low end torque. I think it could be great on a pick-up.

I was exactly thinking that.

Neutral: EV Trucks? What are your thoughts?

Like this one below. It looks fabulous, a bit pricey, at 5000 €, but it has less than 100,000 miles on it.

And he could go as low as you wanted, so you could say Citroën kind of invented stanced cars

We will see in a few weeks then.
