That sketch looks like the love child of an Esprit S2 and a 308 GTB… which is awesome. 

Why did he stop there? He should have got full retro and had it drawn by a team of horses. 

He did that many years ago at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. It was pretty spectacular.

The GTV-6 that James Bond hooned to hell in Octopussy!

There never was a US market GTV-6 3.0 version. There was a very limited run for the South African market and they had different trim, but that engine didn’t come to the US until the Milano replaced the GTV-6. I’ve read that some people did aftermarket installs but I would have expected that to be called out here if it…

I mean, they also killed off the first old white man to have a real role in a Star Wars movie too. 

I do like the way they were able to incorporate the flush, slatted ducts of the prototype as opposed to the big side scoops of the production model, which had to be added to the design late for cooling purposes.

Seems to be suffering from the same nostril expansion syndrome as modern BMWs. 

There are many, many fine engines in these comments but if the Busso V6 doesn’t make the final list, this website has lost its soul. 

Oh yes, it was a great FU to Chrysler. I do still like the P132 prototype’s styling a little better than the V16T

The Countach was my dream car. I could never think of the Diablo as anything other than a Chrysler product. They came in and softened up Gandini’s design which was pretty bold of a mediocre car company to do to perhaps the greatest stylist of the era. 

An Italian car maker that is owned by Audi, so it kind of does. 

Very likely homelessness. He was asleep in his truck at 3:45 AM when he if it happened, and one witness was asleep in her van and was awoken by the gunshots. People living in their cars tend to gather where they can park overnight without being hassled. It’s sadly a pretty big problem in Washington state.

In Boston, people have been seeing Ho Chi Minh’s profile for years in the artwork on the side of a gas tank.

The 3GT is a far better execution of the body style than the 5GT. It’s not a total win, but from some angles it actually looks good. Being based on the Chinese market long 3-series chassis, it actually has more rear leg room than the 5-series, and the cargo deck is actually longer than the 3-series Sportwagon. On…

When you read through that, you have to pronounce “lazer” in Bond’s line as “laysher”

Looked at the pic, assumed it was a Torch article. 

But can it make 90 degree turns?

Bingo. This is what I mean. They are independent for sure but that doesn’t mean they are always good, and their biases towards certain categories is baffling.
