Is Tesla building them?

So the wraps Tesla is offering will make them rust faster?

You do realise that was an April Fools press release, right?

So, like a lemon?

If only there were a some way of identifying cars beyond make and model. Maybe by displaying some sort of code made up of numbers and letters? Nah, forget it, crazy idea.

IfAs someone who worked there, put it this way; it’s definitely a 250 series Ferrari and just as definitely not an original GTO. If you have enough money for a real one you have enough cash for someone to build you a replica on a wrecked 250 GTE (for example) chassis that you can drive while keeping the real thing…

I used to work there and yes, they are fakes, albeit ones based on lesser 250 series cars.

It was almost certainly a fake. Most of the owners of GTOs have replicas (based on lesser 250 series Ferrari) that they actually use leaving the real thing safely locked up.

Parking across two disabled spaces to take a picture is a real Dick move.

I have interviewed Ian Callum in the past and he said basically the same thing, that he is designing a car to look right 10 years from now, now when it launches because he wants to be pushing design forward, otherwise it looks dated as soon as it hits the streets.

Agree. PS4s on my fun weekend Alfa and CC2s on the family wagon. Although I do think Pirelli have the edge for SUV tyres. I really wish I hadn’t gone with Cooper for my Range Rover Classic.

And yet they will still be mall crawlers.

Well the UK is a pretty small market but that also takes them out of India, South Africa and Japan (among others) which have slightly more sizeable buyer pools.

Seriously? At least half the responses to the article where you posed the question mentioned Project Binky!

Project Binky, hands down. Restomod of a classic Mini with Toyota Celica GT4 running gear. The attention to detail is incredible and the hosts are very watchable. It’s been going for years so there are many episodes to binge.

You just make it where you need to sell it. The ‘gas station’ literally just needs an electricity cable and a water supply to make hydrogen. Making it in a coastal refinery and driving it around in trucks is 20th century fossil fuel thinking.

I saw one in the supermarket car park last week. It is to a Defender what a Mahindra is to a Wrangler.

I would place a substantial bet that development will include the ability to run on hydrogen, whether that is sensible or not.

He remains the presenter of “Who wants to be a millionaire”, a game show on one of the main terrestrial channels here in the UK and has at least one other column with a Murdoch newspaper so I’m sure he won’t be going bankrupt (unfortunately).

I am pretty sure a regular four cylinder petrol engine of similar power would easily get 400 miles to a tank. Hell, my 07 BMW 550i manages that!
