Ah dammit. I should have scrolled down further.

Now I’m not saying this is a good idea. But I’m not saying it’s a bad idea either.

Almost entirely unrelated, but I was wondering whether Honda sold the new Civic Si in Australia. Just had a look on the Honda Australia site. They sell one trim level of Civic now, and it costs the equivalent of $32K USD. What the hell.

If your slogan is that bad at conveying your intended message, you should probably reconsider it.

Even "Less Cars" if "Reduce" has too many letters for a slogan or some such other half-baked reasoning.

Alas, slick as they were with Special Sauce, his tiny fingers could not grasp the wheel.

Ugh - that would be unpleasant. That shit is nasty.

And pig shit makes cow shit seem pleasant.

The EV6 isn’t a sedan. Or a hatchback, really, except in the broadest sense. It’s a midsize SUV. It’s between a Sportage and a Sorento in size.

The Taycan was said to do 0-60 in “under 4 seconds” before it was released, and the 750 hp Turbo S manages it in 2.6. I would be astonished if the quickest Polestar 5 (with 130+ hp more) takes longer than 3.

That makes a lot of sense - the relative cost of the two categories probably pushed Porsche towards LMDh too, given their long-standing focus on customer racing programs. I can’t imagine many customer teams being able to get together the money for an LMH season (or many manufacturers willing to offer the cars to…

I suspect he’s not going to resign on the basis of that stated belief, true. I wonder though - is it even something that the court itself can decide (i.e. a judicial matter)? Or would it have to be a legislative process?

I wonder whether Porsche believe that as well - I’d be surprised if they entered the category with a genuine belief that they can’t win the most prestigious event on the calendar.

More freedom in general it seems, though with BoP in place, the freedom of LMH seems to be more a selling point for manufacturers than a performance differentiator.

Ah, very good. That makes more sense - cheers for the clarification.

It looks good, and the bodywork has some nice little references to other Porsches (is there maybe a bit of 911 in the side windows?).

The Built By Legends Mine’s R32 is $450K too, and their Spoon EG6 Civic is apparently $150K. They’re all silly money, because they’re being built as cost-no-object vehicles and I’m guessing the people buying them don’t care about the price.

Which has extended to them half-painting cars in several cases now, in an effort to shed a little more weight.
