The article states that it is an F40 spec block, either from a donor car, or a spare engine. Either way, it is VERY expensive as a spare, and should have been kept for an F40 or 288GTO.
I dunno... 200CCs is a bit small...
$1.3M!? I’m no mathematician, but you could do a complete frame-off restoration on like 120 miatas for that kind of scrilla. You get a miata, and you get a miata... everyone gets a miata! Now that would be the philanthropic move of a lifetime! Or how about instead of dumping more money than most people make in a…
There is/was a 308 with GTO Bodywork that someone swapped a Big Block Chevy into.
You know what would be cool in an article about an F40 engine in a Dino? A picture of the engine in the Dino... like even one single picture that wasn’t a closeup of velocity stacks. ;)
There is nothing right about doing this, thus I love it. If you can’t wrap your head around this being a good idea there’s nothing I can do for you.
Ugh, That 70s Show is such garbage.
I grew up not with Rand McNally, but Thomas Brothers guides as a must-have in the car. I learned how to navigate the entirety of Los Angeles with that thing. Also, when my mom was a visiting nurse in LA while I was in high school (around 97/98), they were still using “number of TG pages” she had to traverse to…
Who’s a cute little plane? You are! Yes you are!
i’ve always wondered about how a 2.0l v8 stacks up against a 2.0 i4 in terms of power delivery, or fuel mileage, or sound, or weight etc.
Is there a mode where, like the Fisker Karma, you can redirect all of the exhaust directly into the cabin for that authentic Fisker experience?
She (Rafaela), used to be a “he”, known as Rafael...
I’ve always been of the position that Uber needs to stay in its own lane, pardon the pun. What business did they have in this space to begin? Just because they had a shit load of VC money they thought they could be the one to figure out the autonomous car? When no one else has? And why buy $60,000 Volvo XC-90's (with…
My point is two-pronged. One: I think Uber is lying, and I believe that the operator was using her phone. Take a second and watch the in-car of the crash. Based on what I see, she was straight-up using her phone. It’s either that, or Uber has created an in-car autonomous console that is something NOT located in the…
She said she wasn’t using a phone. The video tells a completely different story.
The worst part is that Grimes wrote “but since it effects others” when she should have said “but since it affects others”
Good to see Jalopnik move from normal creepy obsession with Elon Musk and Tesla to ‘living in the bushes outside his house with their binoculars’ creepy obsession...
