Bugatti used the W16 as a technological showcase because it was the apex of the VR engine development program within VW (remember the Veyron started as a pet project under former VW exec Piech). There is also a W12, which is available in other offerings under the VW umbrella (Bentley, Audi). I think the engine can…

There are airplanes slower than a stock minivan. The original Piper Cub had a top speed of 87mph. 

“It’s like going into warp speed in Star Wars,” Webb says.

An Engineer (me): Yeah, yeah 335/316mph, uh huh, uh huh, ok...what about the tires, did they use specially engineered compounds...I’m assuming they just didn’t use an off the shelf street tire and crossed fingers...maybe talked to Bugatti’s supplier, etc...I NEED to know.  It tends to be the least appreciated aspect…

Oh wow!

Per the ad:

Roverhounds often chased their quarry straight into curbs, where the extraordinary approach angle would lead to the hapless victim being high centered, unable to move.

One of the best ways to prevent deaths from accidents is to prevent the accident in the first place. This is solved with education. Make it MUCH more difficult to obtain a driver license, or make it a tiered system (as to not negatively affect the lower income brackets) where a beginner permit allows you to use…

That ain’t quattro, that’s Haldex

LOL, imagine believing that. 

This isn’t a track-focused car, for what it’s worth—it has comfortable suspension settings, more luggage space than the average super car, and was specifically designed to be both the ‘ultimate driving experience’ and as practical an everyday car as any hypercar could be. Murray wants people to use their T.50s like…

I couldn’t watch the video with sound and with no closed captioning made it useless for me except for one thing; I wish my wife looked at me like this woman looks at this guy telling the story.

He hired a stuntman to deliberately crash that car. He is known to have done a few fakes in the past, like pretending to have connected his aventador to some xbox controllers to play forza.
He’s wearing a red short for the whole thing, but the inside shot when the car crash, whoever is driving wears a black…

Are they ever going to offer this on PC?

Maybe US-specs are different, but T4 is a wonderful and reliable van - drove one for years as a courier, and it’s a popular work-mule on this side of the pond. Granted, it being native work horse here made things easier - every mechanic stocked some parts for it, and what they didn’t have they could get in under an…

It’s a twin turbo six and three quarter engine running an Escalade transfer case for 4x4 with a pinninfarina interior.

So, you’re saying that Trump is so fucking dumb that he doesn’t know that he’s going to look like King George III on July 4th, of all days?  I like it, and totally agree!

Is this really about showing the world how much of a big boy trump is? It feels more like he’s trying to show his domestic enemies (aka everybody who cares about actually preserving democracy) that he has the power to make the military do what he wants. He wants to put on his Putin pants.

“Well shoot. I kinda want to see it, but I ain’t seen the 65 movies comin’ before.”

More than likely the movie was originally called Le Mans ‘66, but most Americans probably think that’s some kind of champagne, so they changed the title for us.
