drove one at Mercedes World in the UK on the brookland track (or what remains of it) and the wet skidpad. it was an amazing car and a beast to drive. but when the majority of these cars are garage queens, not so sure anyone has to worry about the transmission.

and the guy is super short haha

not sure why anyone thinks he’s gone. walking around the paddock in mexico city (i was there as a guest of mercedes) you see him in meetings with team heads and everyone closely listening to whatever he is saying. they can bring people in that are not pro-bernie, but liberty wouldn’t have signed 3 more years with…

besides that actually pretty amazing pass, can we talk about how these cars are LITERALLY flying over the kerbs? that is amazing car control and that suspension is monster. PWC has nothing on this

ugh, can’t make it to austin today anymore, but will be in town by Sunday. you should do something in Mexico City too!!!

oh yay! my suggestion to patrick actually came true!

interested in selling that one ticket for sunday?

reminds me to the bmw vision concept doors

if they’re the heads of it, usually you just say them. how do you give credit in a blog post to everyone? it’s like saying a quentin tarantino film. but there’s actually hundreds of other people who worked on it. you don’t say it’s a quentin tarantino + 100 other people film.

probably smelling society garlic or another plant that actually has a very noticeable garlic-like odor. isn’t actually garlic, but smells like it. it’s pretty drought resistant too which is why you can find it in more dessert-like conditions. like LA

that wing looks...very ebay like. not good looking at all

i can only imagine the amount of drag that face creates, the CD must be horrendous. very body kit like...maybe the me 15 or so years ago would have liked it. a slicker front is needed if they want to appeal to a more affluent consumer base, like the concept. otherwise, it’ll just be something kids of rich parents…

likely due to LED strips and the camera picking it up as strobing. you see it a lot of new cars with leds in the headlights/taillights

When i drove this at a BMW event last week, the seating felt fine

i love that clip! love how it starts off with a bump too. canadian nascar!

other outlets are saying 129K euros, which is about 145K USD. still not crazy, but definitely not 110K (35K is probably equivalent to a set of tires and wheels and a spare bumper)

at the very minimum, you KNOW that wing is properly mounted and can handle downpressure.

maybe he just wanted to replicate Eddie Braun’s jump, just at 5 mph instead of 400.

another one to compare the gt to the gt350. gt has higher initial torque, which makes sense as this is a high redline engine. hp lines are basically the same.

here you go. again, dyno results are really easy to read. at 1500, it’s nearing 250 ft lbs of torque. that’s plenty to get you moving and off the line. if you’re just cruising around and sitting at near idle RPMs, not exactly sure why you’re concerned with power. and since you’re in an automatic, once you need…
