Nah, the Z3 is based on a shortened E36 ... with E30 rear suspension.

Not so keen on the E46-style facelifted headlights.

That’s the facelift though, which undid some of his more radical changes.

It’s part of the German manufacturers’ drive to reduce costs and weight by gradually replacing all frontal bodywork with enormous plastic grilles.

And in 6R4 form:

Those clouds, though.

Supercharged is another matter ... at 13psi it’s able to burn almost twice the fuel of the equivalent atmospheric engine.

That’s also true, and leads to things like high beltlines, in turn leading designers to break up the acres of sheetmetal on the flanks with all kinds of creases and swooshes and artificial “character lines”.

What is it homologating?

A lot of modern cars just look like they’re trying too hard. I think it’s a consequence of advances in design and manufacturing, there are fewer constraints now.

Very low revs. LMP1 diesel V6 hybrid mule?

Umm, who is driving that bottom one?

Vauxhall Prince Henry (1910), specially built for the Prince Heinrich of Prussia motor trials - an event for production touring cars.

Quick, what’s this?

If you pull the side strakes off a 348, it looks so similar to the F355:

Those rounded intakes look like flared nostrils. The facelift on the Scud improved things hugely.

Guessing you meant 456 and 612 ;)

I’m hoping they are too, maintenance is not cheap! Be good to see some of that investment back one day.

They were using the Chrysler V10 from the Viper until now.

Tyre technology has improved a lot too since the VR6’s day, which I think often gets missed in this debate. I’ve got an Alfa GTV with exactly that 220hp magic number, and reading reviews from 10 years ago they all talk about lighting up the tyres constantly. In reality, in the dry, nope. (They do benefit from fitting…
