And once again for the first time... Batteries have ALWAYS (like, since when Nikola Tesla proposed them for cars) been the problem. For example, the battery in a Chevy Volt costs $10,000, weighs 400lbs, and replaces one $100 plastic gas tank. It’s not the source of energy, it just holds it. Batteries will ALWAYS have…
Have you seriously never heard of Fluid Film?
FIRST OF ALL, this feels like a video game trailer, or some sort of defense-company-promotional film. NOT an official announcement of political intent. See Boeing’s FCS video as a US counterpart to this one:
Not a bump-start, but close...
Pushing down to add friction is limited by the weight of the car. The tires are already hold the entire weight of the car, so lifting the car off the tires and transferring the weight to this plate won’t help.
I was seriously considering the 428xi GC but couldn’t swing the $$$, but a 228 GC with ZHP?!? Hellz Yiss.
I’ll be damn excited to hear how it drives, though I am rather disappointed at the price. The Raptor started at $43k when it came out, and you could get a crew cab for something like $47 to start, so this seems quite high for so much less capability.
I'm actually pretty damn excited about this... THE reason I didn't buy an R/T was the black-on-black-on-black interior... too damned black! Now that it has a touch of color this may be it! I just wish they offered the nice tan interior on the SRT cars... Oh, and the 6.4L motor would be sweet too.
No, they cannot.
New Golf R or CarMAX Audi A8L? Similar prices... thoughts?
Tesla Model 3 for sure - because 'lectric
I think the real question, is what could they possibly put into this car that the current S-Class DOESN'T have. I am a huge S-Class fan, but if Caddy does them one better, I'd be happy to buy American! Given that the Merc rides perfectly, handles well, is fast AND efficient, has night-vision, and enough sensors to…
I am watching this series intently, as I am considering an 2012 Merc S550 from Carmax, and I want to see your experiences with their warranty dept. So far it appears to be going well?. The combination of used-car-depreciated-prices and excellent warranty seems mighty appealing!
Although a heavily tuned 3.5EB would be sweet... I'm holding out hope that Ford is as crazy as i think they are, and they are working on a 5.0EB based on the coyote motor (which was designed for direct injection and forced induction from the start).
Definitely get a proper set of mics for recording sound... any iPhone/iPad/GoPro won't capture the sound with ANY clarity. Check out Borla or Corsa's YouTube page for some great audio examples. You may consider using one of these: http://www.rodemic.com/microphones/ix…
Good review, but I'd like to hear that exhaust note! Some audio would've been nice.
