QQ: You say the transmission is a slushbox, but aren’t the Cooper S’s and JCWs fitted with DCTs?

Agreed. Eventually ANSI or an international standards institute is going to need to step in and mandate a universal plug.

The F50 looks sleek, eager and happy. The F40 looks depressed—like it just might drive off a cliff because what’s the point of life.

Confused as to why this article features an image from an ePrix at the top—FE is one of the few race series where it’s extremely rare to see a car a lap down (basically the only time it happens is if the driver smashed the car into the wall, somehow managed to limp it to the pits and repair it, and the incident didn’t…

I wouldn’t go that far. The 458/488 is a striking car that catches my eye every time I see one. Modern Ferrari styling never got, say, Lamborghini Gallardo bad.

The InfiniteAntar family loves our hardtop 5dr desperately, and if we were to ever get a second car, the first choice on my list would be the electric MINI... because it would be a second car. In the 21st century, the MINI hardtop has always a compromise—ours will comfortably seat four (small-to-average-sized) adults,…

Ferrari: We’re sick of other people ripping off our styling, so we’re going to rip off the Ford GT.

I personally think the F50 is gorgeous, but yeah--I wouldn’t even call the F40 attractive.

Out of curiosity, what do you think this better tech is going to be? A new chemical makeup for galvanic cells? Or do you think hydrogen is still going to happen?

As this comments section has already devolved into a fanboi war between two of the most militant factions, I’m wondering if I can get some input on the part of this that really matters: the battery tech.

I mean, it's not like Ariels or Caterhams are exactly "mass produced." A quick Google turns up a few electric kits (Exocet apparently will work with Tesla donors, for example).

Lykan Hypersport.

1st Gear: Remember that Biden is going to be on the stage.

Well that’s the question—it’s one thing to say, “Okay, I’ll give this new Corvette a shake” once it’s on lots and you’ve talked it over with your Corvette dealer of 50 years, but what demographic is buying the new car in such great numbers that it’s selling out before anyone’s even driven the thing? And I have a hard…

I’d be interested in learning the demographics after all those articles that featured boomers whinging that it wasn’t a real Corvette. If the car is indeed selling out AND the people who are buying it are folks who cross-shopped it against, say, a Boxster/Cayman or even a Lotus or 911, instead of deciding whether to…

This is a pretty great service and a great way to encourage your customers to actually drive their cars and not just store them in climate controlled garages. I know Pagani will build a new Zonda for you if you give them your current Zonda—I assume that holds true even if you wreck it.

I mean, I thought about linking to an explainer on rotation matrices, but nothing I could find was as concise and clear as that comic.

Try as I might, I cannot for the life of me fully comprehend the math and electronic wizardry required to make a side-out horizontal picture into a top-down vertical one.

I think you’re onto something here. With climate change and rising sea levels threatening many coastal tracks, perhaps it’s time for the FIA to allow for development and racing of cars that are truly all-weather. Parts of the track literally underwater? That’s gonna suck for your 911 RSR, but luckily Lamborghini was…

Furthermore, you can market it as a limited edition convertible Supra!
