That was a tough situation though, assuming he didn’t know that the truck was there prior. You can either choose not to lift and risk careening into the truck at a higher speed, or lift and hope to straighten the car out. Magnus is definitely a very good driver but I think he just went into the corner too quickly to…

The Rauh Welt Beetle would like a word with you.

A manufacturer with modern standards to uphold isn’t going to simply drop an engine into a car that hasn’t been tested with it and call it a day. To put a CTS-V engine in an Escalade, for instance, they’d have to do thousands of miles of testing to make sure the cooling system works adequately in all climates, they’d…
