If modern cars were half this interesting, I would watch every F1 race repeatedly. Just imagine the power and grip that car has with that wailing V12 and those massive tires. Niki Lauda would agree that there's some real risk to driving such a combination, but the reward is why we look back on the Senna/Prost era, and

At least they'll finally leave Kimi alone.

It has over 400hp and is RWD. It is the definition of hoonable.

I have the perfect solution. When all that new fangled shit stops working, it's time for an engine swap (preferably dependable low tech Chevy V8), interior gutting and full cage. Guaranteed you won't miss that fancy fuel sipping turbo and half assed infotainment system when you're oppo.

Anyone else thinking this will basically be an STI with a hotter version of the new 2.0 liter from the WRX?

Ecoboost Mustang. 135hp per liter. America.

It helps that sports car racing allows teams to actually develop power plants over the course of the season as well. So they not only have some cutting edge tech, they have an opportunity and incentive to innovate. This is a core element of racing, and is lacking in many series, including F1 and Indy.

Pretty sure this is the spoiler off a Dodge Charger...

True, but I think they came out on top in more ways than one. Like Chrysler, they have stared failure in the face, turned out a business plan that seems to be working, and have made some nice cars in the process. Ford has certainly learned some hard lessons. Unlike GM, who seems to ignore decades of previous mistakes.

"The scene in Tipton struck me not only for its sincerity, but for how foreign it would seem at either GM or Ford"

Small, European roadster chassis with a large powerful engine. This seems like a familiar formula from that era. But for some reason, I don't think it was fully embraced by Ferrari...

So when will the configurator launch on Ford's website so I can spend days optioning out every possible combination?

This case made it into latest issue of New England Journal of Medicine. Guess some other people were impressed too.

I agree, we need some innovation with the cars. They need to be differentiated from one another. The drivers have become personal and unique, but the cars are unfortunately uniform and boring. All we have is Honda vs Chevy. I think loosening specs will go a long way towards creating an element of mystery in the cars

This is hauntingly close to watching someone in critical condition get taken away in an ambulance. She even bleeds about 40 sec in. What do you transfuse a Lotus 49 with?

Bullitt axle hop: why Ford has kept that live rear end all these years...

This guy is incredibly lucky. First off, to have enough air outside of his lung to push his heart over to one side and not cause enough compression of his heart and vessels to render him unconscious is rare. Second, to rotate his heart, aorta and pulmonary arteries/veins 90 degrees and not have a massive bleed because

But the big question is what engine will find its way inside. Continuing the fine tradition of flat-sixes would be the obvious choice, but with Porsche experimenting with turbocharged four-pots and hybrid systems — specifically with its Le Mans-running 919 — a blown four is in the cards, and testing of an inline-four

Sometimes I thought he was getting away. That was a dumb thought.

I'd sell a 250 GTO, or any Ferrari, to get a Daytona Coupe.
