I actually think Saturn Sky’s design aged worse, incidentally similarly to the Fiat 124, in that they’re both much fussier, angular designs compared to the originals.

Sure, so you stick on a horseshoe grille and a big EB badge somewhere and everyone will get it’s a Bugatti, but maybe it shouldn’t even matter.

Meh. It just looks like a warmed over Chiron after they’ve released a gazillion spin-offs and remixes of that design. Like Chiron: The Greatest Hits - general shape from the base Chiron, nose from the Mistral, rear end from the La Voiture Noire, and aero bits from the VGT and Bolide.

The Top Gear TV show is as good as dead. The show’s already caused two potentially life threatening injuries to two non-stunt/professional drivers since the revamped version started in 2002, but Top Gear brand still has the magazine business that churns out monthly issues and youtube content regularly: stuff that

I just realized how much the Mustang reminds me of the MG X-Power SV from ~20 years ago. A ridiculously expensive road legal track toy equipped with a Ford V8 wrapped in widebody carbon fiber panels?

There are three Mustang GT3s already slated for Le Mans this year.

Yes. Specifically a bulbous rear end with a rigid mass protruding from it. This is downright elegant, what with the ridge on the bumper blending into the swage line parallel to the sill.

Man that is one awkward looking speeder.

I miss Donut Racing Show. 

I just want to know if this car was filed as a business expense.

Oh yeah they occupy an abandoned Sears parking lot that I pass in my commute. And the top level of a parking structure of a sleepy mall nearby. All flashing headlights in unison sometimes.

I’m obsessed with that man’s hubris more than his successes. Just greenlighting projects that VW has no business entering, like a Bugatti revival project that was built entirely around Piëch’s random demands based on neat theoretical numbers (1000hp/1000Nm of torque/400kph) that costs god knows how much, at least one

That’s big, but I won’t be truly impressed unless it’s mounted transversely a la Cizeta V16T.

Rory Byrne is 80, and he’s still working on car design at Scuderia Ferrari. If a team makes it comfortable enough for him, Newey might never stop. More than anything Eddie Jordan securing an immediate release from his RBR role and letting Newey spend his gardening leave finishing up RB17 instead of making him serve

720S/750S actually the best looking supercar in the current generation of supercars. Properly alien looking this side of Pagani Utopia and Koenigseggs. Cleverly hidden cooling intakes among heavily sculpted surfaces, complex rear grille assembly on the 765LT and the 750S, the headlight pod... It’s strange that

Disqualification from the race and a fine actually seems not harsh enough for what looks like a clear, intentional violation of the rules - especially since it would require drivers to be aware of a cheat and actively used it. Surely they need to dole out some race bans.  

Exotic car prices, exotic design flaws.  

There’s no additional practice session. It’s gonna be the sprint race, qualifying, and race. Any more fires will actively matter to teams’ points gain.
