Several of these planes have been sitting for so long that the airline they were built for no longer exists.

To be honest, this is kind of disappointing. The combination of a manual transmission (which is slower on track, but more fun to drive) and carbon-ceramic brakes (which are the opposite) makes this kind of useless for anything but bragging rights.

Naoshima is an art-colony island mostly known for Kusama pumpkins, Monet water lilies, and other pieces of modern/contemporary art. Seems appropriate that this would be displayed at the ferry terminal there

Beijing exempts zero-emission vehicles from their number-plate schemes. London exempts them from congestion charge, it’s a safe bet NYC will too.

Can someone explain why a track-only toy that’s ineligible for any race series in the world has sponsorship? (I know, it’s because Richard Mille sponsors the F1 team but still...)

Going electrified in a hypercar adds a crucial element: the ability to enter city centers that restrict directly-fossil-fuel-powered cars. Hypercars are about both bragging rights and showing off. The Senna’s only about the former.

Porsche photographed this in profile against a black background for a reason — it’s obvious that it’ll look much more humpbacked against any other background that doesn’t hide the blacked-out roof above the painted D-pillar.

Is the ‘Android Auto’ actually Volvo’s long-promised Android-based infotainment? The 2019 car already supports Android Auto.

The biggest difference between the concept and ‘production’ wheel is that the new teaser shows a smaller tablet screen. Below it, in the shadows, is what looks like a normal-sized hub which could easily conceal the airbag. I think it’s simply going to deploy from an off-center position and move ‘upwards’ to be

$11k in maintenance for what seems like a garage queen Aston is totally reasonable over the ownership period, though a look at the records — which have assuredly been retained — is necessary. Based on available information, NP.

Am I the only person who noticed that this thing has been retrofit with working headlights? How/why?

The red car is clearly a Mazda3, for the record.

The 5'er can actually be forced to start out on gas and electric (though the auto stop-start will still be disabled). If it’s in sport mode, the engine runs whenever the car is moving.

Sadly, none of your wishes will come true (I am also a Conti fan, and this makes me very sad).

Looks like it’ll be an extended-wheelbase model of the Continental, presumably because China loves them some LWB sedans. That seems to lean towards previous rumors that the Continental is dead in the US for 2020 — I’d bet that the run of 80 Clapdoor models will be the final US production ones, and then all future

All this article has done is showed me how much better the Chinese version of the Vezel/HR-V looks than the USDM version.

The wheel spats are fixed! This is the most exciting part of the car.

Augh! Don’t call 26 old, that means I have six weeks left before I’m old!

I’m very excited by the idea that they went for low-drag instead of brute force here. And the covered front wheels... if the ‘static wheel covers’ means they don’t rotate (like the RR logo in a Rolls) it’ll be even better
