At roughly 4:35 you can a few ee the point where it looks like explorer and log first enter the road.

This test is useless. In fact, i hesitate in even calling it a test. It is being performed in a vacuum, a.k.a. it costs this much to repair a dented rear quarter panel on a aluminum bodied f-150. In relation to what? the current cost of a bag of apples?

A much more useful, actual, test would involve exposing 2…

if you really want a representative average, have an artist/graphics person do a line drawing of each of your heads up pictures and use that for the stack and average, this will make generating your mean line drawing much easier. You could also adjust opacity of images such that the more volume sold of a model, the…

SSC Tuatara. "unveiled" in 2011 and "in development" ever since.it seems as though they are going about the design process backwards compared to modern automakers who develop a new chassis and clad it in old bodywork for a while during testing, then finally throw the new skin on and bring it to an auto show. SSC has…

All the Merc powered cars have this turbo setup. The works team however knew this was going to be the layout since the design process began on the 2014 cars. In fact, the chassis team at Mercedes is rumored to have asked the the engine team to design the powerplant this way seeing a potential for an advantage with the…

One important thing to bring up in the wake of the Paul Walker crash, cars and the people inside them can survive crashes like the one that killed walker. This video is pretty compelling evidence. What people are talking about in the wake of the crash has been street racing, and deadly supercars, but the reality of it…

god i hope it has the double bubble roof.

so many concepts have them but they hardly ever seem to make it to production.

you should look in the joint effort McLaren and Secialized bicycles have put into carbon fiber construction and development.

The aztec is a badass vehicle when driven by the right person. The problem is that it is characterized as being driven by soccer moms, confused 20 somethings, and nebbish middle aged men instead of this guy:

they have been hiring for approximately the last year and appear to have even more openings now. I would say this indicates development of new vehicles or at least testing and crash certification of the 2011 refreshed vehicles.

he had already released his harness while upside down. if his harness had stuck, the outcome of this could have been much different.

I was just digging through my gawker history and would like to add a big CALLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! to this comment thread.

Perhaps it is time for an update to this list and maybe even a best VNC apps for windows article, yeah?

Is there a comparable application for windows? i am totally over using itunes on windows and once you throw that out you aren't left with very many options.

How about going out too fast? It is fairly common for even the most experienced runners to start workouts/races/training runs at a pace that is too fast and then die during the second half of the workout.

i disagree on all fronts.

The wheelbase issue is somewhat valid. A shortened wheelbase would benefit the car on the switchbacks of PPIHC but is a complete impossibility. Because of the driver position in an F1 monocoque the suspension dampers must sit either infront of or below the drivers feet, and i believe they…

i bet it would be a pretty close match between Loeb's Peugeot and any of the current gen F1 cars. I think it is apples to apples on acceleration, but i still have to give the edge to the F1's on braking.
You should keep in mind though, there are zero restrictions (other than an FIA approved roll cage) to race…

a HANS/Simpson Hybrid neck restraint only protects the driver from impacts assuming the roll cage stops the intrusion of all foreign objects into the drivers vicinity. If Leffler impacted the wall like i think he may have, his head/neck hit the barrier. This could be classified as a scenario where the roll-cage of the…

i like your judgement call on this one guys.

without seeing the circumstance of the events it is difficult to determine what the cause of the accident may have been and how it could be avoided in the future. In this case, it seems foolish to have people in front of the fork truck at all (hindsight is 20/20, i know,…

i am going to speculate wildly here...

when designing a car for impact, it would make a lot of sense to have the leading edge of the hood set back from the front bumper of the car. When the Audi has a frontal impact the hood must crumple quite easily as it will be one of the first parts of the car to make contact. As a…
