    I think it’d be a fun gimick for a company to train a neural network on a database of named trim levels, then it have it generate a new, unique trim level for the options selected, along with a 3d printed badge.

    Honestly, I’m fine with bumper stickers, and frankly any form of non-dangerous non-destructive car modification. Place stickers; It’s nice to keep score sometimes, have a bit of a visual reminder of where you’ve been. I’ve always thought it’d be fun to do a round-the-world (or as close as is practical) road trip, and

    I can honestly say I don’t have that problem, as I don’t have any driver’s seat selfies.

    You could probably print it on one side with no support; looks like it’d be a fairly shallow overhang, and I dare say you could bridge the hole

    I’m with you; I enjoy cars, but I’m aware of the ecological issues involved. Also, there’s a vast difference between enthusiast and general user; It’s nice to have the theater of a rumbly exhaust note, a bit of snap, crackle and pop, and that’s fine when you’re having a bit of fun, but you don’t need that on

    Hell, rallycross the dining room table if you can figure out how.

    They’re adding a new variant of the Rapide called the RapidE

    Yeah, I’m with you on that. for a replica, it’s decent. I’d probably be inclined to use it as a base for further mods, though; a baby hoonicorn, for example, to help hide the slightly odd proportions

    Yeah... nah. about 90% of the trains I get are pacers, exquisite pieces of engineering that they are.

    Even more embarrassingly, it kind of looks ‘shopped

    I know lamborghini doesn’t have much of a racing pedigree, but I feel this, more than any other lambo, needs to go racing. Rally RAID/Dakar, to be specific. I know most buyers are likely to buy for the badge and status, and wouldn’t really care, but it’d give it a lot more credibility within the petrolhead community.

    I’ve been looking for that video for ages; for some reason I had it remembered as a fiat 500. I love how neatly the horn array fits in the frunk.

    Balance it. Have the flag, but then counter it with anti-racism bumper stickers or something stupid like that. Take the flag, and take the piss out of it.

    Brit calling in; why don’t small cars work in america? something like an up is fine for motorways, and it’s not like they’re unsafe or impratical.

    total tangent, but I had that exact R5 turbo with the phillips livery as a kid.

    I feel the HP/speed classes should be defined as a statistic; for example must have more power than 95% of cars on sale at launch. That kind of allows you to factor in it’s performance relative to the era

    If you really want to build a flying car, do a degree in aeronautical engineering. Or, just churn through a load of research on the internet, teach yourself, and build one. A buzzword-laden short-course isn’t going to get you anywhere.

    To be fair, I quite like the idea of bringing in a few different artists. Yeah, it’s artsy, and not exactly relevant, but take a look at any car ad, they do the same. At least this puts names to the creatives behind it.

    I’d have thought it’d be more likely the other way around, as the front brakes usually do the most work. But yeah, to a point, when 4wd is enabled, all four brakes are effectively coupled together, meaning the braking force of the rear brakes can be used to help stop the front wheels.
