Definitely the Rolls Royce Merlin V12 found in P-51s.

THE answer, without question, is the race between Henry Ford and Alexander Winton in 1903 in which Ford won and gained the financial backing to launch the Ford motor company.

Yep. This car would have been in development long before diesel-gate broke cover, so it will continue a diesel. There had been some rumors that even before diesel-gate that Audi may be considering a switch back to a gas engine, but that wouldn’t be before 2017 or 18.

Buick exists because it is one of the most sought after brands in China. They sell MASSIVE numbers of cars in China, so they keep them solely for that reason.

This article is a moot point because when you look at cars like the 911 GT3 RS vs. a standard 911 GT3, or a 458 Speciale vs. a normal 458, you’re paying significantly more because you’re paying for the hardcore hig performance edition. That they lack content and are lighter is one element of that, but they’re not just

The Panoz LMP1 is my favorite car of all time! No, it’s not the most beautiful, but one afternoon in 1999, while flipping through channels I came across an ALMS race and the Panoz really stood out.

Unfortunately the audio in this video is HORRIBLY dubbed and not actually the real audio from the car...

The Abruzzi ran unclassified in one race and was never seen again.

This. It will kill you.

If he wins Le Mans and gets the triple crown, what if he then went and tried to win the other great races (Daytona 500, Rallye Monte Carlo, Dakar Rally, etc.). He could set a new precedent for motorsports greatness. He’s also won the Daytona 24 Hours overall 3 times, which is another impressive feat.

The guy who was our drivers ed instructor for the in-class portion was often late because he was on his way from his day job as a butcher at Kroger. As such, he’d regularly show up for class covered in blood, which was creepy as hell (and this guy was severely creepy from the get-go - the blood only made it less-so).

The answers have to include:
- Shelby American (Shelbys and GT40s in the 1960s)
- Holman Moody (All things Ford Performance in the 1960s)
- Pratt & Miller (Corvette Racing, Cadillac Racing, etc,)
- Dan Gurney’s All American Racers (F1, Indy, IMSA, etc.)
- Penske Racing (Indy, NASCAR, Sportscars, F1)
- Chip Ganassi

The “team” wasn’t “Ford,” though. Ford paid for it all, and it was all “Ford” from a marketing perspective, but Ford’s amazing 65-69 string of successes was run by Shelby American (American), Holman Moody (American), Alan Mann Racing (British) and J.W. Automotive (British).

Not a Nazi, but an anti-Semite, for sure...

Nissan should be worried that it won’t matter what the new truck looks like, it’ll still outsell their Titan probably 20 to 1....

Nothing. Literally nothing.

The Shelby GT500 was simply called Shelby GT500, no mention of Mustang.

Yea, but those Pirellis are also made to last 30,000 miles. The tires on these race cars last about an hour...

Seriously.... No Duncan Hamilton? This list fails...

I also want to add that I am in no way affiliated with Michelin. I didn’t notice this was a sponsored post at first, but like the other poster, I am just a very satisfied customer.
