Surely that’s a long way off then? The current Type R isn’t even on sale yet.

I’m confused by this global thing, though, because the Euro version of the 2015 Type R doesn’t look like this one.

I could never get past the 550's headlights.

The last good looking Ferrari.

Actually aero is standardised too, just about everything is. And then there's a complex system of success ballast and reversed grids, all to keep the racing as close as possible.

It's the second generation. The US never got the hatch version of the first 1-series, and now that the coupe has been spun off as the 2-series you don't get the 1 at all.

Brands Hatch, the Indy circuit.

That's a 1-series (F21).

Probably the 5 Series GT?

Many manufacturers do it yet, also for market segmentation and upselling.

They've done a good job, aero like this is great for maximising each individual car's performance. It's just bad for the grid collectively - what economists would call the tragedy of the commons.

"Drivers have given the new aero kits mixed reviews, saying that cornering speeds are higher, but that it's also harder to get up close to other cars because of all the turbulent air coming off the cars."

But computers are appliances that you want to be as efficient as possible. They’re not about how they feel to use.

Thing is that the inner face is actually there to separate the Nordschleife from private property behind. The spectator area is between the two fences.

I think that was just an easy way to demonstrate to the wider audience how a heavily turbocharged engine behaves when it’s not spooled up. Wasn’t it the same review where he kept up with a touring car driver in a Murcielago for several laps of the track?

Sure, I know what they all are. You can’t claim this is necessary:

You mis-typed 993.

Well, Ferrari have tinkered with the boost mapping on the California T to make it feel like a peaky NA engine, so they’re effectively faking a lack of torque at low revs.

More cynically, Porsche sells a lot of variants for market segmentation and upselling reasons.
