That’s the previous generation of 911 RSR in 2014 spec. Easiest giveaway is the lack of swan-neck wing supports.

Well it’s based on the 5 series and the new M5 doesn’t have a DCT so an M version of this definitely wouldn’t.

Yep, the Penske Mercedes which won in 1994 and the early Mercedes (return to F1 in ‘95) engines were built by Ilmor. Original Ilmor was purchased by Mercedes in 2001 and is now called AMG High Performance Powertrains. After that Roger Penske and Mario Illien the “Il” in Ilmore purchased an arm of the Mercedes…

Because aside from sharing the name Honda they are completely unrelated.

Did“it must be nice” really just set you off enough to warrant that snark?

What? That cloth is clearly invoking Pueblo textiles.

Did you even read my comment? 2014. First year of the new engine regulations. McLaren Mercedes finished 5th in points. Honda came in ‘15.

This is demonstrably false. They were also awful in 2014 while they had the best power unit and their “size zero” packaging was a momentous failure which set them back multiple years.

The vast majority of work vehicles and really anything that moves (trains, boats, construction equipment) and is bigger than an F150 runs on diesel power in some capacity. Diesel is not about to die.

This is definitely your shtick though. You didn’t even mention the company who developed the bike is called Pimpgarage

Really took ‘em for a ride!

Yeah, so is plastic siding.

They’ve since admitted to using a custom tire designed for the run, the car also has a roll cage. There are also a host of other inconsistencies in their video 

But this isn’t like the Phaeton in any way. The Phaeton was the technological bedrock of the VW group for a decade. It definitely ‘worked’ for what it was intended to do.

Anyway, good Top Gear has always been about the cars

When they inevitably bring the Turbo S to the wagon it will be called the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid.

If we want to get technical in terms of legal ownership instead of brand umbrella- Audi owns Lamborghini which is the owner Ducati and Porsche’s holding group Porsche SE own VAG.

Because you don’t market your product 5 months before you show it to people.

I don’t know if being called an LC makes it a version of the car. It has the same chassis as every other GT500 and DTM car and an inline 4.
