The rarest Sport Quattro short-wheelbase version, deserves big bucks due to its rarity and its 315hp engine. The classic UrQuattro seems too expensive, as it is not so rare, and not close to any top version. This princing of $80K would fit to the late UrQuattro 20V, which is a bit rare, and more interesting with its…

Same scheme for gas engines : the downsizing trend is only here to have lower emissions during the test cycle, with low acceleration. In proper normal use, Turbo engines will make more emissions.

Speaking of cars vs bikes : depends on you’re speaking of production bikes vs cars, or racing bikes vs racing cars. Bikes almost always win over production cars. Take, say, a BMW S1000RR, and any Lalaferrari or P1 or whatever will stay behind. Close, but behind. Then you take a Motogp and a F1, and it is the exact…

1. Buy ship that France couldn’t sell to Russia, with Saudi money (anyway, they don’t know how to spend all of it...).

It is an obvious scenario. But as anyone has seen, France’s diplomacy’s been reluctant to get the Iran deal. Strategically, theses moves are intended to strengthen the ties with saudis and Israel, and to operate a shift in France’s position. In this case, Egypt just wants to reinforce its naval capacities with saudi…

@Sheogorath : It depends on the way you understand “military specs”. Seems there are differents pricing standards for grey ships.

By the same time, rich people became richer. So...

Diesel emits extra-fine particles which are said sure carcinogen by the WHO. No filter can filter that size of particles. Then they fix upon your lungs. And your kids lungs. Here in France, we have Diesels everywhere (I own 2) as, for decades, diesel has been 25% cheaper than gas in order to give an advantage to…

Please, anybody: Don’t buy the 2 Gran tourer. If you do, they’ll think it’s likeable. Which is not true.

The high quality of Mansory’s work is only matched by its clients bad taste.

COTD !!!

The Miura concept is a tribute, not a concept. The Asterion shouts “I’m heaaaavyyyyy aaaas heeeeeeelllllllll”. It might be due to the color, but isn’t there a very little bit of the Asterion in the new ford GT ?

What is exactly the “concept” behind the reissue of an old styling ? There is absolutely no concept at all, the concept was in the original car. The Chrysler ME412 (most cited but forgotten) is ugly to me, but I still prefer it over this soulless Lambo “concept”. Same for the Nissan IDx and the Stratos. Old story new,…

Need some hummus ?

Once upon a time in Europe, VW was starting its TDI-blitzkrieg, during the nineties, with the Golf mk4. You could buy the Golf TDI 90, the Golf TDI 110, the Golf TDI 130 and the Golf TDI 150. All the car press was saying that the Golf was way punchier than the competition (Peugeot 307, Renault Megane, Opel/Vauxhall…

Peugeot made its fair share of glorious concepts, such as the 1988 Oxia :

It looks like the main point of this gorgeous concept is to test the acceptance of the front lights, which are not round. Round headlights is the initial D in Porsche’s DNA.

The topic could be renamed to name and shame those dudes very publicly. Of course they won’t give a s..., but the officials who let them in will probably have to.

Everything is absolutely well seen. I just disagree with the optimistic ending, as HD as a leisure, entertainment, on tracks, will almost certainly be politically incorrect, seen as childish toys for ungrown old men (and almost men only...). This need for HD will extinct along with the last generation having detained…
