Y’know, if it can legitimately do a 20 minute track session with a bit of buffer, and charge in 15 minutes, then this could be a totally viable thing!...In 10 years when there are fast chargers at race tracks.

Well, they had that patent recently for hybrids with a manual transmission. Maybe it’ll happen sometime down the road.

A little hybrid sports car would be slick. Say low 3000lb range, just over 300hp combined. Essentially shoot for BMW i8 performance, but with modern tech bringing the price down to reasonable levels.

I hope this trend of OEM safarified sports cars takes off in more but limited edition supercars. Makes them very usable, still fast on all but a paved race circuit, and look cool. Give me a GR86 with the GR Corolla AWD and powerplant, lifted on some A/T tires.

Thank you, sir, for eloquently making the point I was trying to figure out how to word properly. The immediate jump to ‘law must be racist’ is naïve at best.

I’ll never forgive Quebec for preventing Canadians from being able to enter the GT Academy competition.

Even more annoying was I was able to go into the event, place in the top 10% off the bat, THEN the game tells me I’m not eligible because I’m Canadian.

It’ll be pretty obvious from the front and rear wheels slooooowly turning sideways before they move

For most supercars, I’d agree. However, Murray seems to believe that as much as 80-90% of these cars will get driven with some regularity, and given the ethos of the company and the relative lack of flash and cache these cars have to the general public, I’d be inclined to believe that.

I always thought that the Capri name would be perfect for a slightly smaller 2 seater using the mustang ecoboost platform. Would be a heck of a brz/gt86 fighter, and we could enjoy the ecoboost drivetrain without the stigma of ‘should have gotten the V8'.

Except no, because convertibles can’t go on race tracks without added roll bars in most places.

The RS was super cool, but well into the STI/Golf R/GR Corolla price range

If you want a car that can do everything reasonably competently, be pretty fun doing it, with a manual transmission and awd, the wrx is really your only option for the price range. Golf R, GR Corolla, Audi S3 etc are much more expensive, everything else in the range is 2wd (GTI, Veloster N, Civic SI)

Wait, so they did a CR-V in house in addition to working with Hoonigan on the indytruck? Same thing, NSX suspension, indycar engine, but in a Ridgeline. Interesting that they’d do two such similar one-off vehicles so close to each other.

There are sooooo many BRZ/86es at these events. Plus miatas, civics, mustangs, camaros, and wrxes. The reason they aren’t in the pictures is presumably because they are so ubiquitous that they’re uninteresting to shoot.

Honestly, if you could figure out how to mount a turbo K24 or something into that thing, it may very well become the fastest track toy you could buy for under 200k.

It’s too bad they decided to make it an exclusive limited run, so they’ll all end up locked in garages and nobody will see one. This had the potential to be the best year-round usable 911 yet.

Big wipeout vibes from that boat. I dig.

No, you’ve missed an opportunity here. In the F&F movies whenever they shift the car goes faster - Hyundai could give us an EV where you get x amount of power normally, but every time you pull a ‘shift’ lever you get a boost of power for the next 10 seconds or whatever. Then it would really feel like a F&F car when…

What a rollercoaster. The return of the 2.5RS, a decently powerful naturally aspirated Impreza hatch...but also cvt only for the whole generation.

Yeah I’m with you. If it was the price of like a GTS and regular series production this would be properly cool. As it is...you’ll probably never see one.
