This roof ... what the hell was going on in America in the 70s?

The whole trend toward small turbo-charged engines is largely about gaming the system too, or at least exploiting loopholes. Think of those ~300hp 4-cyls that VW puts in the likes of the Golf R and TT-S. Drive it under the test protocol, the mapping will keep it way off boost, it sips fuel, and ignore the fact that it…

Yuck, why have they moved the shutline back from the grill?

This looks like something designed in China.

I think it’s a throwback to the chromed intake runners on the Busso V6. But yeah, not great.

The grill is actually a tiny slot at the bottom of it. For a forward-looking futuristic technology driven company, it’s strange that they’re faking a functional design element from the technology they want to displace.

Is that number plate original then? Would make it an ‘81, although yours looks later.

By the way, could you guys pay your £8m worth of London parking fines please? :-)

I stand corrected.

It’s not even used here in the UK anymore.

Is that an RHD import?

It might add $100k to a watch, but not to a car.

Drag is Cd x frontal area, though, and big tall boxes like this are still punching a bigger hole in the air than a low-profile sedan.

See, I think this looks much more striking ... would benefit from a larger badge though.

I wonder how they avoid the issue of heat soak into the cabin from routing the coolant hoses back there. That was an issue on the 356BB/512BB (mid-engine, radiators upfront), which led Ferrari to mount them outboard at the rear of the Testarossa - leading to its iconic wide tail and gaping side intakes.

Why not fit it with flat rims in the first place, rather than ludicrous motorised ones that “un-cup” at speed?

That’s pretty unusual for a FR car ... for weight distribution?

Are these intakes or aero?
