“So I’m not particularly worried about AMG at the moment. Sure they’re diluting their brand by making tons of cars and giving AMG badges to normal Mercedes cars that have nothing to do with AMG’s little factory.

Nissan is looking to up the brand awareness of Nismo to AMG/M/Quattro levels. This could be the best place to start.

This guy FxxKs. Am I right?

Now we know where the Honda CRX design came from

1898 Porsche P1. It’s rear engined. It’s a Porsche. Therefore a de facto sportscar.

Drum brakes making a come back?
