I totally agree with you, road drivability will be a big deal, at least for a brand new car. There are way more people that just want to be able to conquer a service road in a forest than crawl over a rock wall. And realistically the most capable crawlers are always heavily modified. Ford needs to bring a car that you…

I didn’t know FOB required special permission. I’m a FOB and give you guys permission to use this term.

Still waiting on production jet car for red light acceleration bragging rights

Also Australian or Japanese

Batteries also don’t get any lighter as they discharge so the car is not going to get any lighter either

I don’t think they have the endurance to track. I wonder how many laps a top line Tesla would complete flat out on the Nuememenemeuemenberring

Do you have any insight as to why electric car companies are almost exclusively trying to target the super car market? Tesla is the only company, it seems, that straddles the line between high performance and mass market. With the current level of popularity of EVs is targeting a few hopefully high margin sales really…

Sudden gusts, or the opposite are no joke. We were driving through Wyoming in a shitty 15p van with really sloppy steering, the steering wheel had to be like 60 degrees off center just to keep it straight against the wind plus sloppy dead zone. Wind got shielded by an overpass and it the driver barely kept it on all…

Styling is fine but Bronco means open top. Otherwise it’s just a 4runner

Just give us the Everest with a removable roof and aggressive looking wheels and collect money.

That makes no sense. You typically would want weight shifted towards the front, not away from it

You chose not being crammed with lots of other people over easy commuting. I feel for you, I do, but that was your own doing

Dat ass is lifted straight from Audi it seems

Five back to back FF articles on the front page this morning is overkill

It’s just venting. Instead of having an upstroke after the power stroke you just hold the exhaust vales open longer. Helps to have forced induction. The switch between 2 and 4-stroke would have to be controlled by the ECU and would probably happen during a power stroke since that’s the only ‘identical’ stroke they…

Well the car wasn’t legal to drive in the first place because of emissions, that’s how we got here in the first place

They could start by centering the passenger compartment at about quarter point of the car length. I’m guessing that’s why the streamlined looking vette actually has a higher cd. It would almost be more aerodynamic going backwards

How much of this telemetry will big brother have access to?

I think there’s just no getting away from aerodynamics of a truck. The abrupt drop off going cab to bed and then the tail gate you’re facing similar aerodynamic loads once you’re up to speed as any other truck

That’s what I love about Rally series, they actually resemble cars you can get. Aren’t all the WRC cars street legal for example? And they can get away with that because they don’t drive flat paved tracks meant to test performance at the highest speeds, instead they are on narrow hazardous roads or sometimes “roads”…
