I'd say it's a trick question. Why? Because AWD is a trick system. The Nissan GTR has used it in most of its iterations to great effect. The Suzuki Pikes Peak vehicles are an ode to insanity with four-wheeled grunt. The Mega Track is the result of what happens when you don't put up the playpen fence around engineers.

Exactly! I was certain that the 5 had no rear steer, and then as you said, fat sticky slicks + not much space = lots of stress on some small parts.

Does that rear wheel look like it's passively steering or am I missing something important?

C'est fantastique!

What's the going rate for an EB110? CP.

I'd shoot for a greater abomination than that. Stick it in a 500 Abarth. Who said incest causes unfavorable genetic modifications...

Even a hairline fracture compromises the structural integrity. Under the circumstances, no amount of reinforcement will assure that the damn thing won't break in half over the next pothole. Such are the follies of materials with great structural integrity, once it's lost, it's lost.

I don't think they build the tubs anymore. The subframes, yes, but the original tub, once cracked, can not be repaired or rebuilt, by hand or otherwise.

Here's a little nugget to consider:

Natalie Portman didn't look innocent in Leon.

''Bad Request'' indeed.

I love how he looks down at the instrument panel as the car loses all hydraulics towards the end, and starts heaving on the wheel in the tight bends. Throughout that whole video of all the face-shots I counted 3 blinks, one a half-blink. His head seems to be moving in accordance with the road about 200 meters ahead,…

I know I will fall into the category of whiners when I say this, but I strongly disagree with the Jag wagon.

My guess is they were taking the outback roads like they would take the Autobahn in an unrestricted E55 AMG. There's a reason even the most nonchalant Bruces drive their massively upgraded Hiluxes at 30-40mph tops on those roads.

You want tax? Here's tax:

Still needs the trick diff from Prodrive, though I do love FF as a company.

I would have sold a kidney for one of those.

In this economy, you know you'd do it. Congrats!

4th: Yes. 2.2L diesel 'HighPower' version with AWD please.

Yep you forgot, I teach not study ;)
