B9 Scrambler concept from 2003. Designed by the guy who was responsible for turn of the century Alfa Romeos (which all looked great), but I guess he really couldn’t leave the Alfa grille behind even at Subaru.

Huh. I’m the opposite. Bentayga just looks like a fancy CUV - largely in offensive aside from the very concept - where as the Cullinan is so incredibly vulgar with the tacky, out of fashion parthenon grille stuck on a boxy SUV with shiny chrome detailing on everything. Easily one of the ugliest things on the road.

Subaru’s design department never recovered since everyone categorically shot down its experimental design language from circa 2005. Never would it try anything challenging ever again.

KG Mobility sounds like an electronics manufacturer who makes all the no brand cheapo devices for US carriers.

I’ve actually seen a Tipo 916 Spider long before the earliest possible exemption year, and I don’t know what hoops were jumped and what monies were exchanged to make it happen. (Probably fudged the registration and passed it off as a Series 3 Spider from the ‘80s.)

It makes sense that after a major apocalypse the society would’ve focused on restoring infrastructure and manufacturing for the most practical things, and that might explain the abundance of non-luxury ICE cars in the show (although their designs are stuck in ‘90s because maybe there’s no resource left for retooling…

The Nissan looks better.

GMG adds that the BADD GT still satisfies the “street legal” aspect of the record

Alfa Romeo IS Sauber. Sauber naming itself Alfa Romeo was a branding deal, and I’m sure Audi got a similar deal in place with actual team operations being carried out by Sauber personnel. The team will almost certainly run as “Audi” in 2026. That’s the whole point of this deal - Audi getting its name out without…

I personally hate any spoilers on any Countach because it ruins the purity of the wedge shape, BUT if we’re going there, let’s go all the way and include the front spoiler.

Sometimes, the coolest ones are the ones that don’t show off. I’ve always loved Porsche Boxster’s toaster spoilers. 

Years after being accused of making the entire range indistinguishable, MB goes one further by naming a model C, S, and E.

A secondhand Mercedes 400E with a cracked engine block and widespread catastrophic electrical failures that requires the driver to remove the fuse for the power seats lest it randomly crush him during a drive...

Autocar suggests, the electric R8 successor could run on the same hardware that Porsche is developing for its upcoming electric Porsche 718 Boxster

Now with 100% more electricity!

How annoyed do you think Ariel crew was when a completely different tiny electric Batmobile set Goodwood record this year?

I don’t consider Haas an American team. A Ferrari/Mercedes mashup car doesn’t say “America” to me at all.

C5 RS6 - the perfect car. Purposeful form rendered subtly. A real stealth performance car.

Massive trucks but also *heavy* trucks like the Hummer EV. Sharing the road with a regular person driving 9,000+lb car with instant torque is insane, especially since they’re all so fucking tall nowadays by default. There needs to be a new driving test standards or something.
