Aston Martin Bulldog lives on!

Well, this is part of Gran Turismo’s Vision branding that’s been around since 2013. The only car company that I can think of that uses Vision outside the game is Mercedes, and they’ve been doing it at least as far back as 1999 with the Vision SLR. It’s not new nor will it end anytime soon.

This is going to very hard to scale and maintain, but if I was every going to put something like this anywhere, I’d probably put it in a busy city center that faces frequent gridlock to make the most of it (but also create an even worse gridlock in the process).

That’s what I want to know. Are the 10 fully road legal cars or “prototype” garage queens for collectors? I just want to watch the crash test footage.

Can’t remember where I saw it, but I remember Enzo being described thusly: burying his drivers on Sunday, sleeping with their wives on Monday.

Post 00s Top Gear TV has all been diminishing returns. Just kill it. Car guys being dudes schtick got tired during Clarkson, Hammond, May’s run anyway.

THE COLOR CHANGING LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH FROM CANNONBALL RUN 2

I’ve had the Earl of Sandwich thanksgiving sandwich, and it was one of the grossest sandwiches I’ve had in terms of texture and presentation. Conceptually solid but disappointing execution, but I guess it’s just a fast food offering after all.

FUCK YEAH

Thank you for bringing up specific legitimate concerns instead of focusing on whatever’s trending on social media that really don’t matter like fake Venice street corner being drained, some fountains being blocked, or decorative trees being chopped down. I’ve seen a lot of these things trend and it’s so weird to see…

Just rerelease Mother. All the plot elements are there anyway: Self-important asshole burning though young women, amassing an army of zealots, taking a kid away from his mom...

Boring answer: The stretch of Angeles Crest Highway up to Mount Wilson where every car company and car mag goes to take photos.

I forgot to mention that Ferdinand Piech (Porsche’s grandson) was forbidden from running his grandpa’s company due to a clause, but he eventually got to in a roundabout way by becoming VW’s head honcho and being a key figure in the merger. The fight for control between the Porsche-Piech family and the rest of VW…

The entire Porsche-VW hostile takeover/merger saga that involved the state of Lower Saxony and the nation of Qatar which briefly saw VW become the most valuable company in the world, triggering financial investigations, lawsuits, and ballooning debts - revolving around the heirs to the Porsche family that started it…

Offroad racing’s historically been so half-assed and unfun in Gran Turismo that I’m shocked that they keep devoting resource and time into it. The last thing I wanted from any update.

This is nothing more than a Marcello Gandini masterpiece dashed against the rocks made statuary.

Considering how the last GT-R took 7 years to go from concept to production, even with a fairly production-ready design and existing base platform, expect the next to be out in 2030+ I guess.

Not really references per se, but one of the characters is a master thief and there’s a slapstick-y car stunt involving a yellow Fiat 500. Best part of the movie imo.

sometimes you do things because they are hard.

Maybe it was inevitable. I’ve said it on a different post, but the new class regs seems to be working for WEC/IMSA and there are so many new constructor entries and customer teams lining up, and that makes it even harder for a constructor like Glickenhaus to find a sponsor. And I know he’s already said that he lost…
