I’m just glad to see Marquez comfortable and quick on his machine this year. While PP for Marquez at Indy is a ‘sky is blue, grass is green’ situation, Marquez at the pointy end of the standings hasn’t been his default characteristic this year.

You know what’s abstract? This car having rear door handles but no evident panel gap to suggest there is actually a door there. Mind. Blown.

THIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. So much this that if I ever bought a Mazdaspeed6 (I want to buy a Mazdaspeed6) I would NEEEEEEED an aftermarket rear bumper option purchased and painted ready for install the moment the car made it home. Urgh. Uh. Yes.

The last Z image is actually still a “concept” vehicle (note mirrors, door handles, vertical parking lights, and wheels), albeit, yes, in nearly production guise. :)

We'll done, indeed.

I see your 348 and raise you the Enzo road-going prototype: same body (more or less), but now with just more awesome.

FWD FTW!!!

4 seconds quicker than the record? I wouldn't call that "destroyed". And subtract the rigidity via the cage, add the A/C back in, and put production tires on it — that 4 seconds could disappear mighty quickly.

My guess: active aero.

Runners are oriented differently, and the intake is on the wrong side. Probably an LS (like nearly everyone else in Formula D). But it would have been cool to see them 'keep it in the family'.

You know, less than 500 were made in total. Being limited in production [and friggin' fantastic], it could perhaps pose as a reasonable arguing base for a 'Show and Display' import approval. As far as I recall, it hasn't made the list of "No, we don't care about that one" and it's not a Skyline. That's two things…

Any idea what he says there at the end?

Silverstone to host! :)

It kinda looks like it's trying to keep itself from falling on its own face. Too late, as it were, metaphorically speaking.

Crash tested and deceased loooong ago?

Something, something, unicorn, something, it may spontaneously combust on you in three months, something, something, but who cares because when it is exactly what you fawn over and it's only $6k, you can afford a full engine teardown and still be all in for $10k or less if you're smart about it.

This Audi was parked in the middle of a Scandinavian Flick.

Probably hub-mounted electric motor, no?
