Agreed.

That’s some high-stakes, high-speed, low-margin, ballsy sh*t right there.

Good pics and vids, Rory. Looks like fun, nice Lexus.

The 50-150% downforce improvement is compared to a standard 911.2 GT3, the 991.2 GT3 RS still produces more than the 992. Not to mention having slightly more power, near identical weight, and the same aggressive Cup 2R tires. So the only way the 992 is able to eke out such a slim advantage over the last RS would be…

I’ll guess he was feeling the overall improvements (handling and aero) over the 991.2 GT3 (17 seconds around the ring) that are so substantial that it’s even faster than the last gen GT3 RS.

It doesn’t have as much power or as much tire as the last gen RS. Porsche play this game where they can’t make the new GT3 too good or last gen RS owners will be upset, so they’ve gotta step careful. I suspect the next RS will be substantially faster around the ring, then the midcycle update of the regular GT3 will…

Of all your bad takes, and you issue a good number of them, this is definitely one of the worst.

There will be someone...and that someone is me.  There is NO similarity.

^^This is passing normally. The bmw driver seems to have come up a bit fast but ultimately made a safe transition to pass. Then this happens:

Eh, sounds like victim blaming a touch. Things we know:

So, why aren’t people buying these? Honestly, because people are dummies still smitten with crossovers and SUVs, for some reason. I don’t get it. You wouldn’t really be giving up anything with an Arteon over an SUV you weren’t planning to off-road (and, let’s be honest, most buyers won’t even drive over a curb).

Jalopnik: “Manufacturers should build more wagons!”
Porsche “Here you go.”

Honestly, if I had a GR Yaris (if only) I wouldn’t fuck with it one bit at least until the warranty ran out. Possibly not even then. These little gems are kind of unicorns in this day and age, and I’m not sure we’ll ever see their like again. In twenty years, a stock GR Yaris in good condition is going to be highly…

I still don’t understand why chevy made their EVs little bitty blobby cars and not something sexy, like an impala EV or a traverse EV or something people with money actually want to buy. Teslas, while funny looking, are also big cars that can haul a family.

Dignity? This is the writer who drove around for months with only high beams, because he couldn’t be fucking bothered to do the right thing.

This just in: water is wet.

Also worth stressing: Jimmy’s going to be competing as a guest driver in Britcar.

Tesla grew by 35% in 2020 while legacy OEMs were down 35%. I used to love Jalopnik, but I’m beginning to see this venue as yet another outlet of FUD spinning for legacy fossil fuel based propulsion. Reminds me of FUD claiming there is no climate emergency. Shameful.
