The big issue with it as a fuel is volumetric energy density. Even if you can keep it in a liquid state, the volumetric energy density is a quarter that of gasoline (8MJ/L vs 32 MJ/L), so you have to have a colossal tank to store the damned stuff, and it’s hideously difficult to store (it embrittles metal pressure…

I’ve since realised that there’s not actually a series production E46 M3 sedan anyway (which didn’t stop me from picking the one-off Touring concept as my only car).

Barley, wine...

“That oughtta do it.”

I’m absolutely certain. The AWD system simply couldn’t work with a longitudinal engine and a conventional transmission unless the engine is entirely in front of or above the front axle. There are ways of getting around this if necessary (the transaxle transmission as found in the R35 GT-R or the transfer-case design…

There’s no way of fitting a Subaru AWD system to the 86/BRZ. The engine in the 86 sits between the front wheels, while the engine in every other Subaru sits entirely in front of the front axle (the front driveshafts are located at the front of the transmission, and the engine is attached in front of that). Apart from…

It seems to be a performance-balancing choice, to more closely match them to ICE-only entries in the class and maybe to LMDh class cars.

The body-in-white of this car is different to any other Yaris - it really was meant to be a homologation special. If Ford only made a 5-door Fiesta and then made a 3-door Fiesta RS with aluminium and carbon panels, a dedicated platform, AWD, a bespoke engine and an entirely different rear suspension design, that’s…

Shit, I didn’t get into a big long discussion with you a few months ago about what constitutes a spiritual successor, did I?

Maybe not for Dubblewhopper - I can’t imagine a Pontiac leaping up onto his desk would have done him any good at all.

Oh, that's a great choice too. It's the ultimate expression of a practical performance car.

E46 or E92?

What about a spiritual successor to the El Camino, with four doors and the AWD system from a Hummer:

No?

Nice choice. If I had to have only one car, it would probably be a little bit smaller than this, more suited to the winding roads where I live. And if I can only have one car, I’m happy to also be the only one to have that car. Therefore, I would have:

I’m nearly finished a PhD. If thoughts could kill, this muppet’s head would have exploded, Scanners-style.
