When BMW first released the N54 engine, they were able to make it only a few hotlaps around the track before overheating and going into limp mode.  So it definitely happens with ICEs too, even the best ones.

What a hellhole this automotive blog has become.

No he didnt.

This sounds sponsored. The Santa Fe attempts to look like a Land Rover, but looks very eastern bloc and drives like a tall crossover. All hat, no cattle.

I’m liking that profile

I don’t know what is more snake oil, wraps or ceramic coatings.

while not as sturdy, i’d go with the porsche’s “hidden in the glovebox trim” ratchet holders

The Boeing (assuming 737 whatever vs. A319-A321).

That tachometer that redlines at 12 o’clock is just *chef’skiss

Starred for the Lancia, not for the BMW.

Came to post the Delta Integrale - glad it’s been covered.

’m sure it will show up elsewhere here, but I love the Lancia Delta Integrale HF dash. It’s overwrought, but I love it.

I come here to read stuff about cars.  Not politics.  There’s a lot of us that are just fed up with ALL American politicians.  Can you focus on automotive content?

1970 914-6 Coupe Murène. There are uglier cars, but I don’t think there can be an uglier car with a Porsche badge on it. French coach builder Heuliez was in talks with Porsche to produce it, but Karmann would have nothing to do with it, so Porsche said “NIEN” and thankfully it stayed a prototype.

If you think a dealer will actually sell you a 992 Turbo S with any options for that money... good luck

That’s not how business survive. Passion projects are fun, but they almost never turn a profit. Those game changing vehicles that come along at the right time (series Land Rover) are largely based on timing and luck. More to the point, the L663 Defender rides amazing, has an amazing powertrain, wheels better than it…

It’s not like the Original Defender is that great of a car anyway. Everytime I ride in one I get the same overwhelming impression - what a charming piece of crap. 

People are freaking out about the 130 like Ford hasn’t been doing this same dance since 2007 and GM since 91.
