A double wishbone with a transverse composite leaf spring?

Glad to see Bourdais getting a full-time ride again. Hopefully the team can continue to become more competitive.

Yeah but it also has the MC12 in there, as well as the current Maserati front grill design language.

Ah, yeah, it does say WOT. I guess I expect the Hybrid mode to do a lot more torque blending to make everything feel smooth and seamless, while in Electric I expect the pedal to feel more dead once you max out the electric motor (similar to how speed limiter functions feel). It makes sense that they would have to give

I agree with you and will add, I’m assuming the Electric mode will be limited to the amount of torque that can be provided by the electric motor, and the ICE will not turn on to provide additional power, no matter how deep in the pedal you get.

Your mom.

“Concept"

Infiniti: The competitor no one knew they had.

LOL, I have no idea how that replied twice.

“CAD copying” was only OK because last year the ducts were a component they purchased from Mercedes, which was legal. But for 2020 the FIA made the ducts a “listed part” which required every team to build their own.

Copying is ok, as long as you don’t use CAD models from your competitor, They only got exception on the front ducts because they had used/purchased the front ducts on last years car and evolved the design. They had the models for the rears too, and never used them on last years car, but did integrate them on the 2020

Pretty sure Jeep has stated that the Trail Rated badge has varying levels of meaning, depending on the platform. A Trail Rated Renegade is not the same as a Trail Rated Wrangler Rubicon. They still have different capabilities, but it relates more to the capability for the given vehicle class.

Check out the 2021 Dodge Durango R/T with the Tow ‘N’ Go package if you liked the HEMI and used it for towing. The Durango is a long wheel base Grand Cherokee (without the air suspension). They added SRT parts (Brembo rakes, flares, facia’s, etc) to the 5.7L R/T and it has the same 8700 lb tow rating. The redesigned

It’s been updated more than once since the 2011 model year (when this design launched). The 2014 model was the most drastic change, but there have been continual changes to facia designs, shifter, radio/center stack trim, trim levels/packages, etc.

While it’s not against the rules to copy someones design, each team must own the intellectual property of these parts. This means that even if you have a part that is made by a 3rd party, like Dallara, the team must own the IP, and the supplier can’t supply that same part to someone else.

It won’t.

It’s sad that Vettel and Ferrari hate each other so much now, since they could have easily kept him under contract and had him lead their IndyCar effort. However, I don’t see that ever happening. I think it’s more likely Ferrari taps someone like Nico Hulkenberg to run their IndyCar, if they stick with a European

This is not entirely accurate. The V6 in the current Maserati’s uses a slightly modified Pentastar V6 block from FCA, but the block is shipped to Italy where it is assembled by Ferrari and has upgrades like turbos and direct injection heads.
