When they switched to turbo engines they put the pipes on the side to direct the noise at the crowd. Its in the regulations.

Oookay, 5000hp? It does seem to let off a turbo sneeze in the middle, but sounds a lot like a V8 to my ear. More to the point, has anyone shown this to an aerodynamicist? I'm nowhere near an expert, but from a casual eye it looks like it is going to generate a lot of lift at more than 300 mph, unless they have…

Great little engine, found in virtually everything in the VW group (mine was in my old Seat Leon Cupra).

Was going to post this myself. I had the 1.4 in my Rover, 105 hp so not the most exciting thing out there but it pulled above its weight. Still haven't got a clue how I never managed to blow the head-gasket as I had one or two cooling problems along the way.

I don't know, I'm not at all familiar with that part of the country.

Its actually illegal to have advertising along a motorway to stop that sort of thing, but this isn't a motorway so it is obviously safe to have such distractions.

I bet the people who designed that were sniggering about it all day.

DRS was unlimited in qualifying, but the drivers pointed out that this could be dangerous if opened too early. This year it was limited only to the DRS zones on the track.

There is an SLS in my area and the sound it makes is just pornographic. Are they killing it off prematurely because of too many letters from concerned citizens who just won't stand for this brazen, unfettered sexuality in public?

I see what they've tried to achieve, I just don't see why anyone would want to. That's a big price for what appears to be a cut and shut of probably three different cars. The paint job is ... challenging. I'm going to have to call CP on this.

It doesn't seem entirely origninal in its styling, but I guess we're talking about a car for a target market here.

I do not like having to very occasionally share a road with one, and can't ever be convinced that it is safe or advisable. But the money simply does not exist for every pavement to be replaced just so a handful of coffin-dodgers can ride their scooters on the pavement where they are a danger for pedestrians. The…

1) This person has no real choice but to use the road, if you have ever experienced Edinburgh pavements, and that thing could not navigate the curbs.

If I recall, local traffic laws allow this, considering it the same as a cyclist.

We just need wealthy investors to turn this into a reality, none of your money will be diverted into our beach resort scam. Honest.

Well, if you're going to be in Las Vegas, then check out the collection at the Quad Resort (formally Imperial Hotel), there are some proper cars there.

I love the gouges in the road, presumably from people bottoming out really heavily.

They stopped a BBC crew from filming:

Our flight in was delayed by 2 or 3 hours, which held up our flight out be half an hour, I think, although we still landed early due to handy winds.
