Correct. From the press release:
Correct. From the press release:
“This is due to its very aerodynamic shape and low power hybrid drivetrain.”
The local walmart has a small device where they crush them, at least. (Don’t know where they go after that.) But they wouldn’t take mine.
Who are “they”? Ferrari and Porsche?
If they suck, I look forward to reading daily articles from you on how shitty they are. Or is that just reserved for Honda in F1?
Why do we only get (or need) the 247hp engine when other countries will offer it with 154 and 187hp versions? This is pretty small, right? It needs to be cheaper, and power will not be the priority of most of its buyers.

How many negative McLaren-Honda articles can one person write?...
“Not much of a business case” is why “the Miata-driving public is barred” from the hardtop? Sounds like a stretch. If Mazda can build it for Cup cars on a per-customer basis, they can build it for road cars on a per-customer basis, no?
“made to resemble the rare-as-pigeon-molars SV variant”
Typical cynicism. It’s called “testing,” as Mercedes have stated. They will be also be running a standard shark fin tomorrow. Testing various configurations. That has some importance, you know. They should all be doing it.
Gorilla Glass is already used for the standard windshield. It is said to save about 12lbs.
Two thousands miles, and the whole story is that the Miata is not great on highways and really great on twisty back roads? Read this article hoping for a little more insight than that...
No. Whereas the McLaren (and others with this system) uses the *brakes* to *slow* the inside wheel, Honda’s SH-AWD differential sends torque to the outside wheel and actively speeds it up. Technically this system is superior in function to both the traditional LSD and brake steer systems. That said, it also adds the…
Please, Interwebs, tell me what to wear - and think!
“It’s not critical to the operation of the car, but it’s sure as hell annoying”
Actually it will have 710hp. (Ballaban doesn’t get McLaren’s names.)
Well, Ford says 3054lbs is the dry weight. Ferrari says the 458 Speciale’s dry weight is 2844lbs. McLaren says the 675LT’s dry weight is 2706lbs. (Which would mean the Ford has less horsepower and weighs more than the 675LT.)
This article really didn’t have much about “what it’s like to ride in a car with a camless engine,” despite the title. It was really just about how the concept works, which had nothing new from what we’ve heard from Freevalve and CVK a couple of years ago. Great concept, but this is sloooow going. Six generations and…
Named so for Generation X, to whom the vehicle was meant specifically to appeal.
