To be fair, it could be possible, in theory, to move forward the engine to a central position and still have the transmission further in the cabin (the scheme of a Diablo/Murcielago, for example). But that would be an unnecessary (and heavy) complication, given that the car is RWD only, and would require to have a…

Of course the engine has been flipped, otherwise you would see the engine, not the transmission. Here, have a coffee.

I think it’s a typo. 718 Boxster S (350hp) specs declare 4.6 seconds 0-60 with the dual clutch transmission.

They’re a problem in Switzerland as well. The insurance contract explicitly mentions that you’re covered against damages made by martens. I was puzzled the first time I saw this as, coming from Italy, didn’t know about this problems (we’ve a problem with wild boars, BTW).

For years, when I attended the university in Rome, Italy, I challenged my father about “highway times” from the Eternal City to an exit close to Pescara (google for it, the highway number is A24 then A25). It’s basically a 177 km mountain highway (except for the last 40 kilometers). I managed to do it in 55 minutes,…

Nimble? At 1,500 kg, dry? LOL

I still remember the roads in the Highlands (in 2014 I toured the entire Scotland, and some islands), especially those from Cape Wrath (Durness) to Thurso... like 40 km of single lane, two-way roads, with blind corners, lot of sheeps and fast, oncoming buses... even the Amalfi Coast was easy in comparison.

And I thought that life in Switzerland was expensive...

For example, the Ultima can have over 1,000 hp and uses a modified Porsche transmission.

Those houses are there since 200 years, at least (the church may have well been 400 or 500 years old). That’s why a lot of people die in earthquakes in Italy: historical heritage, no money for renovations.

I have one of these. Extremely sturdy, waterproof, shockproof, and light.

The Opel Insigna is around since 2008.
I didn’t know that Buick was the new Lancia (which rebadged 3 old Chrysler models in 2011 with no success, and ceased to import them three years later).

These car-badged boats are as nice to see as impractical to live with.
I’d prefer a Riva, a Pedrazzini or a Boesch for the lake, or a Wallypower for a fast day cruiser in the sea.

The racing version in Geneva was way much better looking:

The firm offers only the panels in black, not complete bodyshells.
Nothing to see here.

The Fiat Panda Van is still today a staple in the fleet of many Italian utilities enterprises, both big private companies and city-owned departments. Many plumbers and electricians, also, use it. It’s rugged, simple and cheap. It’s still a very common sight all over the country. But you can’t sleep in it unless you’re…

I’ve an iPhone 5 and an SE.
I’ll wait at least 6 months for an iOS 10 update on the SE, as there are some benefits with the latest iOS on that device.
I’ll keep iOS 7.1.2 on the 5. It works and it’s quick. Won’t burden that poor CPU.

The driver, named MC Hammer, told the biker: “Can’t touch this!”

Kudos for the trasmission radiator. Clever upgrade.
Best of luck for the trip. And wash that poor bonnet, looks like a stork just bombed it...

Well, I was shot down countless times in Falcon 4.0, and that was 15 years ago. So what?
