You also have to take into consideration that a road version wont have limits on the kers, and wont be constantly starved for fuel. I remember reading somewhere that consistently last year Rosberg was running at 60% power or so for the year due to the fuel issue.

That is the easy part. Without fuel flow restrictions and KERS limits, 1000 HP is easily reachable for these engines.
Economies of scale, man! Plus, unlimited tokens!
Thank goodness. My main problem with the 918, P1 and LaFerrari, along with various Koenigseggs and Lamborghinis and Bentleys and Bugattis which I could also afford, is they all have appalling thermal efficiency. It’s about damn time.
70, only 70 versions of each car. So yeah I would consider them Special Editions.
5 of each unique ones for 70 total.
Nope!
Compared with the other drivers the cars pay homage too he wasn’t. As a actor turned racer his record was considerably inferior to Paul Newman’s.
The price of oil will not go back up to where it was. Hell, I’d be surprised if it went above $55 for more than 2 days. As someone mentioned, countries like Venezuela will.... “cheat” production and will in turn undermine any “cuts” agreed between OPEC nations. Look up and read Prisoner’s Dilemma Game. Just think of…
Recent cost of extraction surveys puts the cost of Canadian Permian basin oil at 26$ Canadian. Oil sands vary above or below that.
We have enough oil that we could easily become a net exporter, but with oil this cheap, it doesn’t make economic sense to do so. When oil goes up, we fire up all our idling oil fields and keep the price low.
I dunno, but anything that will allow us to someday sever our ties with them and than crush them is desirable.
I have used two tanks of gas over the last two months. Yay 5 minute commute. I almost want a gas guzzler, because fuck it, who cares? Jacked up older 4x4 blazer (where the roof comes off) or something obnoxious like that. Something with side pipes, and bull horns for an hood emblem.
Fracking increased US oil production by 4 million bpd, seemingly overnight. OPEC agreed to maybe* cut their record high outputs by 700 000 bpd amidst record outputs by several countries (Russia is at record high outputs and not in OPEC). If oil prices goes up substantially, the fracking industry will quickly take…
Unlikely. The US fracking industry will only scale up to make up the difference.
2008? When I started paying attention (2013 - clients in the oil businrss) it was at $100 per barrell. While lower than the peak of $140 pre gfc, it was a damned sight more expensive than it is now. Opec has a goal - being not quite expensive enough to justify a shale boom - but it’ll remain cheap by recent comparison.
Yup, the last production target failed miserably. Bloomberg had a chart that showed the timeline. OPEC’s decisions and failures didn’t really affect prices.
Namely Iran
russia has gas which is still needed in europe for heating
I’m not super concerned. OPEC isn’t tight enough to actually pull this off. If they say they’re going to cut production, at least one member will backstab the others and keep their production up to try and capitalize on the profit. This is all just posturing and theater.
