Maybe if this were being homologated for rally racing and all those air inlets, scoops, and spoilers were functional I might warm up to its looks in 25 years the way I now drool over Ur Quattros and Lancia Delta Integrales. But this isn’t going racing, it’s not being homologated and all of it looks daff, like a school…

Cheers for no auto stop / auto start at traffic lights since this would likely overheat an F1 engine. Although idling at 5K RPM may unnerve other motorists.

Audi has already done it for you. They just need to make it.

But the whole reason you buy this is for the 5 cylinder sound.

Fuck Formula E

Excellent write up and very informative. Thanks Robb.

I was about to call and grab this for a winter sled but it looks like it sold already... anyone have the contact info?

The problem with the Maybach is I can spend 1/3 the money and get the same bi-turbo V12 and outdated interior with most of the same amenities and crappy Daimler Chrysler switchgear. Oh, and this one doesn’t look like a Hyundai:

Oh my... this brings back fine memories of Group B rally cars from the 80s. How do I order one?

Sidekick

So, um, have you actually, you know, driven one? Or is your “article” based entirely on speculation?

Easily the best ‘ring video I’ve seen in a long time. This factory driver is bat shit crazy.

Impressive figures for a sedan although the last generation CTS-V was able to hit 200 and no one made a big fanfare about it. Then there’s the irksome trend of German companies that bought British marques and ruined them with each successive model wave by trying to reinterpret British brand values. If you’re German…

W210 MB E55 AMG. You’re welcome.

Urus = You are us. Doesn’t that just about sum it up?

While I would love to believe this is Fiat’s silver bullet to arrest tanking sales numbers in the U.S., somehow I don’t think a sub-niche of a niche car is going to rate high on their “we gotta make it” meter. If Sergio is nothing else he is a shrewd business person and the 124 coupe will need more behind it than just…

The interior is a bit of a hodge podge, with after market seats and floormats that need be to set on fire, aftermarket stereo (hopefully the wiring isn’t hacked up too bad and an OEM head unit can be put back in), and mismatched door skins and carpeting (it looks like this may have been beige at one point?).…

Neutral: As Mercedes, Audi and to a lesser extent BMW have continued to cheapen their own brands with vehicles like the CLA / GLA, A3 / Q3, etc. They are neither exclusive nor luxurious if you measure luxury on things like quality of materials, features / tech and design elegance (objective). It is, in my opinion, a…

The first one is a GTP

Yeah because it takes SO much work to “drive” a new car that manages traction, torque vectors, rev matches, automatically brakes and performs a half dozen other functions by way of computer. What part of your equation is fun exactly?
