Whoever figures out first how to make my lil’ 2.5l v6 sound like that gets an internet point in thanks. Plus hearing the sound of said v6 when I post it revving all over instagram with the “V12" badges I’ll get to put on it ;)

For me, something that can be driven all-out, all the time:

They don’t need closed streets! This is Russia, everyone has dashcams and seeing electric racecars bolt past you on your commute wouldn’t nearly be the most unusual thing to end up in a youtube compilation.

9647 of those batteries go toward powering that light-up star on the front. Gotta make sure everyone knows you’re driving a Benz...

Ahh, now I know why we all have to design cars conforming to Euro pedestrian impact standards! Sketchy rally spectatorship!!!

That’s the same people doing the TR youtube channel? I don’t see anything about it in the article...

Waiting almost 2 years... for 1:55 of this?

if something didn’t work out, the Feds would have crashed your car without much hesitation. For safety reasons, obviously.

Just need to retrofit this tech to an MG Midget:

2 questions:

Well, in southern California, where Tesla owners promote their silent conveyances to the point that they’re louder than traditionally-powered ICE cars, we just closed the San Onofre nuclear power plant, the last non-coal burning plant in the region.

Maybe they exhausted all other options and found this one the best?

I’ve seen these bumper stickers:

The song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day, but I feel like with these new lyrics it’s different enough to be entertaining...

My car in Budapest
My missing cab fare,
Golden taxicab
My beautiful regulations

When I test-drove the CX-3 I just put it in manual first thing, didn’t actually try auto mode... Maybe that was a mistake, then. I just prefer manual shifting for street driving since each shift is a reminder that I’m going faster (helps me avoid getting carried away and ending up speeding).

Sincerely hoping this is available with manual. Having recently test-driven Mazda’s 6-speed auto (on a CX-3), the shift times in manual mode are still pretty laggy, like half a second to shift after you click the paddleshifter. I know the CX-5 is available with a stick for the base 2.0, would be awesome if Mazda could…

For a big portion of my career I’ve maintained a mixed focus

Is that hardtop conversion available stateside? I’m not super familiar with the JDM/Euro tuning scene but that S2k looks awesome... Also does that qualify it for track days as well? I know certain tracks don’t allow convertibles in certain events.

Wait isn’t that what it stands for?
