Alas, I could only afford an old, used one.

Whooptydoo, it’s a whole FIVE KILOGRAMS lighter than the base Carrera...

Lexus LC, BMW i8

Actually I’m pretty sure it’s a Maserati A6GCS Mille Miglia.

I’ve driven a Mia Electrique, a few years ago at a short-lived eco car show in London. It’s charmingly quirky and the seats were nicely squishy, but it wasn’t keen on doing more than 40mph and sucked at tall speed bumps. The central driving position was surprisingly natural, and a cutaway into the floor when the door…

You’re thinking of this:

Maybe the higher temperature/humidity was a reason as much as the high(er) altitude.

The Mono (now with 305bhp, if I’m being picky, which is huge when only shifting 580kg [dry]) has a sequential gearbox with a clutch pedal. You use the third pedal the pull away and stop, then just use the paddles once you’re moving. The gearbox is lifted straight from a Formula 3 car.

Outside of towns, there are zero speed limits*. Along the TT route the roads have racing kerbs which must be evocative as fuck. The roads themselves are mostly windy, undulating countryside roads. It’s quieter than mainland UK unless it’s TT season in which case there are bikers everywhere.

You’re learning! It’s been like that on here for years. People don’t want to study a design in its own right, they just want to be able to dismiss it in a way that makes them look like a smartass because their brains and eyes are lazy...

Red Bull spent a number of years as the de facto Renault factory team when they withdrew into just being an engine supplier. Couple that with Adrian Newey and Red Bull’s bottomless pit of money and there you have it. Renault came back in 2016 by buying back their old team at Enstone (then Lotus GP) who weren’t very…

“I can say without hyperbole that this is one of the worst crimes every perpetrated by the hand of man.”

It’s one thing to ignore questionable quality for a sexy image and “character,” it’s another to ignore it because it’s just so damn good to drive that you stop caring. Alfa Romeo should do a lot better now they’re making a car in the latter category.

I know it’s disagreed by the sponsor, but did they really have to do *the whole car* in pink? Why not just the side pods or something?

Hang on, I thought Spyker cars were sort of R8-level money. Now they’re nearly half a million dollars for a car you can’t be sure they’ll actually deliver to you?!

My Fiat Grande Punto has it on the right-hand side even though it’s a UK market car (RHD). Presumably they designed it one way and then didn’t care to flip it for their much smaller RHD output.

650 Monza? 6.5 litres and the site of the Italian GP.

What will they call it now? Star In A Relatively Slow Car?

That Lotus Carlton, though. I keep forgetting about that car, seeing a picture and remembering what an awesomely boss car it is.

I guess after this the only new car that’ll make you feel like it’s the ‘90s will be a Mitsubishi Mirage.
