Torque matters more than you think. I get that the electric motors offer max torque instantaneously but they would only power the front wheels in this application.

Anything with a rotary swapped INTO it is an automatic CP for me.

While a low displacement high revver would make a nice pairing with an electric motor providing torque I don’t see one less than 6L happening from Merc.

When you lift off the throttle part way and hear *knock knock knock knock* - bad wrist pin.

You could buy 1.3 corolla’s for that.

I personally don’t see this “ingenuity”. I’d have taken my shoes off and taken a nap. Better than a Bentley.

Both are true. The front only gets power when the rear slips. BUT on a WOT the AWD system may anticipate some slip (ie: a hard launc).

Toyobaru a “success”?

I love the sound of the 4.7 but it lacks torque which the SS has in spades.

I thought the speed limits were lifted?

Is the V6 coupe engine bay different than the sedan? Feels weird to me that they specified the body style but the truth could be even weirder, like that they designed a more complicated bay for the sedan.

Yeah, that’s why it was inelegible for this contest. See: the rules.

Coming next week “Buy this Mclaren 12C for the priced of a Nissan Sentra”.

Is the law similar in New York or is it just a combination of the amount of NY supercars and me living on the East Coast (Florida) that leads to me seeing NY tagged supercars everywhere? Just this weekend I saw 3 different NY tagged supercars, a Gallardo, a 12C and a 458.

I don’t know what you do at Lexus and I’m sure you’re not the person making these decisions but Lexus needs to start copying Ford/Mazda if you want to make drivers cars. Ford’s Ecoboost Challenge gave me (and many others) an opportunity to try their best driving cars (the ST’s) close to the limit in a safe environment…

What is this I don’t even...
