Well, I guess one has to stick to very judicious criteria when identifying Hitler 2 and we will be fine:
Ferrari F40. It was functional, unlike the Countach’s, and fairly outrageous for its era, while beautifully integrated with the car’s gorgeous aggressive design.
Frank Stephenson, who designed it, wanted to make it a triplane, but rear visibility was a concern. This video has it in his own words.
$1 million grants, how quaint...
Not sure where the “virtue-signaling” take comes from. Mercedes went for a super-aerodynamic design with the EQS, which is the most aerodynamic car ever put into production, with a Cd of 0.20, which obviously requires a teardrop (bulbous) shape. This allows for longer autonomy with less weight and batteries. The…
Small counterpoint: The only company arguably even more perfectionist than RR was Bugatti and their airplane racer was a mere 1400 kg and looked absolutely fantastic. Good engineering adapts to the medium, so I’d expect a Bugatti paper airplane of the era to both be aesthetically impressive and to leave the…
From Rolls’ press release:
(...) This design treatment marries the iconography of Spectre’s spiritual successor, the Phantom Coupé to a contemporary Rolls-Royce design.
A car that will make you feel like a Saint!
That’s right!
That’s 1.94 g_earth acceleration in a straight line. It’s equivalent to jumping off a diving platform and gaining speed just about twice as fast as the other divers that only feel the force of Earth’s gravity.
And typical US person: “OMG, hope she had medical insurance...”
Not to put too fine a point on it, but that slideshow picture (reproduced below) is one of a voluptuous 993 referenced in the caption. the Porsche 964 was this one... Also, why go after the 964 when the 996 is the obvious eyesore in the whole 911 saga?
Yes, and it’s better to be safe than calm before the storm, unless you break an egg out of the frying pan into the fire!
Why not? What could possibly go wrong?
Weird, the screenshot below is how I see your post with the two YouTube videos (and any post with embedded YouTube videos since yesterday). The gray boxes are not clickable and they have no associated link, so you have to go to YouTube and do a search for the little title underneath the embedded gray box to find the…
Yeah, the probability of a single person winning a Powerball jackpot is about 1 /(300 million), which is about 300 times smaller than the probability of dying by being struck by lightning, but perhaps still more likely than Mazepin ever making it to Q3, so just keep buying those lottery tickets!
Does Kinja seriously no longer allow embedding YouTube videos? Is there a single soul even developing Kinja anymore?
Indeed, racing-wise they’re pretty close in their mediocrity. Human-wise, Mazepin should have to go through a thorough re-admission process to the Homo Sapiens species, like his father’s best pal uncle putin..
