Sorry. I couldn’t stop myself from doing this.

The 600-horsepower 1991 Mazda RX-7 IMSA GTO is a four-rotor symphony of mighty Wankel engine sounds. Pro racer Joel…
Not even close. The S2000 manual is at least a second slower to 60 than the 987 S manual (5.5 vs 4.5) which makes sense given that it’s down 70 hp and 100 lb-ft of torque, while being only 200 lbs lighter. That gap rises to 1.5 seconds by the 1/4 mile. Even the S2000 CR could only manage .95 lateral g compared to…
All car companies were experimenting with rotaries then. Think of the time period. This was the automotive manufacturers’ drug of choice. Then they all grew up a little more, got boring jobs and moved to the suburbs.
Truck diesels are heavier mostly because of durability. The lower the revs the fewer the wear&tear and fatigue-inducing numbers of load cycles over time, which is essential when you want to haul a rig for a million miles.
No idea how to price something like this. I’ll tell you this though. I was reading through the article, scrolling down, car is looking really sharp....and then you get to that first interior pic....my god it’s straight out of a rental grade Caliber. SMDH FCA.
With that kind of power, I bet things continue to break. All those beefed up parts are bolted to something, and I doubt all that something has been beefed up.
They got it largely working, just never managed to get it to run leaner. To this day there are plenty of rich wankels driving around in Rolls Royces.
It’s not the first time the British came up with an oddball engine design...
Well a 26b with a peri peripheral port can achieve 600 horsepower at only 2.6 liters, imagine a 6.75 liter. The shear idea just nun-chucked my brain!
You’ve grown up around a lot of German cars it seems, how about trying out America’s counter to them? you want to not use too much fuel, and I get that, so I’m not gonna sit here and suggest an SS or a CTS-V. BUT, you CAN get a CTS Vsport in your price range. It’s a 2014 so you still get GM’s wonderful alpha platform,…
You sir need to calm the fuck down and wait for the Kia Stinger to hit the market.
Because horsepower gets all the attention but torque is always behind the curtain getting the dirty work done.
It’s important to know how many kilometers in a mole.
But....why should they ask you that in chemistry?
My next car will be a Miata, so I’m hoping this winds up in there next year or year after.
And yet, a LOT of people still use desktops. They have that Choice™. Similarly, even in the future, people might want combustion cars, and this is why that tech needs continued investment.
A piston engine goes boing, boing boing... but a Mazda goes mmmmm.
“The Dent will be housed on a totally redesigned Camry, to make transport of the Dent easier.”
We got a little early surprise from the 2017 Detroit Auto Show: Toyota has released a teaser image of their…
