This is giving me serious Joanna Newsom on Portlandia vibes.

If they're driving this thing on public roads halfway across Europe, certainly someone's snapped a picture of it by now, right? 

I remember reading your first story when it came out! That article was Hella Nice.

I really can’t wait to read that period novel you’re writing.

Good. I’m not convinced it is impossible to have a show like right now, but whoever is in charge of this auto show has certainly demonstrated that they can’t put on a show like this right now.

EVs have high torque and I wouldn’t be so sure that the regenerative braking is inefficient. As I understand it, the limits on regen are dictated by heat, and the braking system doesn't exactly have to work too hard to slow down a box that probably weighs as much as a toaster. So that sounds like a perfect combination…

What’s the distinction between a banked turn and an on-camber corner like the Carousel in Shanghai, Casino Square in Monaco or the stadium section at Hockenheim? Is it just the degree of banking?

Wow. Now I just feel super old. I hadn’t realized how effective the purge of tobacco advertising from the cultural zeitgeist has been. I grew up in the nineties (I’m a Millennial, not a boomer, thankyouverymuch), and while Joe was on the way out, there were still a ton of parodies floating around, e.g.

Heck, broker a deal with the New Stratos folks for when the world’s supply of F430s runs low.

I can’t wait to see what body kits come out for this. Once used/salvage Corvettes start hitting the market, it’s just going to be a matter of time before we have Corvarris (Ferrvettes?) and Lamborvettes (Corvborghinis?). But what I really want to see is a C8 re-shelled to resemble a 1987 Pontiac Fiero.

Seriously?

That conference room shows up a lot in TV shows. https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/c902y6/til_the_mtc_mclaren_technology_centre_was_used_in

One of the better fictional drivers in the Motorsport Manager games is named "Chuck Calrissian." I'm ashamed at how long it took me to get the joke.

I can’t see images like this and not think about Snowpiercer. God, that movie was fucked up.

I love that the two they let you photograph are Jalopnik Logo Orange and Jalop Brown.

Ah, the giant kidney grille strategy finally falls into focus--after all, if their cars are SO UGLY they sell 20% fewer of them, boom! Emissions down 20%.

Seems fine to me, says the guy responsible for this, probably:

As a daily Metro commuter, it’s not nearly as bad as some people think, but it’s also not nearly usable enough for folks who:

I’m honestly kind of glad you all don’t include Elizabeth in these things. The hate I’ve seen in the comments sections of her pieces is literally sickening, like on a whole other level. Which is disgusting not only given the quality of her writing but the fact that she’s often covering the stuff no one else on staff…
