Man I remember when Mercedes started doing the window surrounds in that bronze colored metal instead on the W124 in the mid 80s (it might have been bronze? do I look like a metallurgist?) it was the most next level shit.

I'd be okay with it if they'd reserved it for sportier models. Everything with an R, maybe the TT, great. A grille big enough for a grown man to climb through just looks silly on all the 100hp diesel leaseboxes that make up the brunt of Audi sales.

On that note: strips of fucking leds as running lights. It just looks like one of those dollar store party light tubes.

Think of it as an off-brand early 2000s AMG if that helps.

I'm waiting for the Criterion re-issue

If it says 911 on the back I'm calling it a 911. It's not so much an ideological standpoint as a clever ruse to hide the fact I don't know the model codes.

Fuck you your post was so heterosexual it kept me up all night and I've got work tomorrow.

Or 0.93 1B series freight container full of brand name potato chips (whoa ten miatas is way bigger than 0.93 1B container that means Miatas are literally significantly cheaper than chips by volume!)

The rare and exclusive metal known as drillium.

It's kind of ironic the first company to try this in a non-supercar is in no way connected to an F1 engine supplier.

It's spinning a 130 pound carbon fiber flywheel up to 60.000 rpm and when it dumps that power into the drivetrain the front wheels tear themselves free of the car and speed off down the road on their own in a sort of reverse American Graffiti axle situation.

BMW's P85, their F1 V10 intended for 2005 would've gotten awfully close but the FIA came down on it like a ton of bricks, first limiting fuel injection pressure and then deciding engines had to last 1600km instead of 800km at the last minute.

What a monster!

Disappointed they chickened out and didn't go blue/fluro lime though.

Is it really unexpectedly great for tall people when the doors are two meters long?

Next week on US Top Gear the boys travel to the Niger River to build a bridge

Can we talk about the fact someone commissioned what looks like an oil painting of a puma and rolled it in here on a special little wheely stand?

I cannot for the life of me get excited about the battle of the off-brand supercars, even when they're embarrassing the big names like this.

Let's all pitch in for a big Jalopnik logo between the front wheel and sidepod.

To be honest I really don't like the Gulf livery on modern cars.
