ahhh "STARTED life in the 1920s'". No worries, now that I have taken more than a second to read it properly, it all makes sense.

Before organizers started limiting boost, these engines that started life in the 1920s could put out well over 1000 horsepower. There's never been a racing engine quite like it.

one of my favorite top gear segments ever. I say this as I am currently binge watching all of them right now.

HAHA, can't argue with logic like that. its a wonder why they had razor thin profits for so many years....

why in gods name would they put that there?! its asking for corrosion.

Can't figure out why they haven't dumped/revamped this system. If it's one thing I can't stand in this day and age is a terrible infotainment system. had a rental mustang and I had to go through all theses au menus EVERY time I got in the car to get it to connect to my phone. And even then god forbid I try to change…

So did the US Gov't just fine itself? or does it not own a significant enough portion?

at least it has the same number of doors on each side and isn't styled completely after a motorcycle helmet.

That. is. awesome. My first thought went to the seats and how ungodly heavy they must be as well. Did you also change the suspension setup too or is that just the cornering body roll? Bet people at the track thought you had lost your marbles when you showed up in that.

You don't know how to understand a facetious comment, do you.

You ever think that if they spent a few million on R&D/production that they would have a much better profit margin in the end. I would think its better than dealing with recalls and shitty manufacturing.

May I propose an alternative:

true. Though, given the clearance needed for the gigantic brakes on the R8, I'm sure the bolt pattern is probably the limiting factor.

just don't touch the red button, lest you activate the death star.

Customer: my fuel filler cap keep popping open when i go into a spin.

I half expect to see a cigar being chewed on on either side of this lower grille. Looks ferocious.

I think Doug just had a crisis thinking of that.

The bat hearse!

Did they swipe this ghastly thing from a Volvo?

Don't believe it? Rent one for a day! Chairman Kaga:
