    Fifty grand on a replica? Seriously?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so fed up with these old racing liveries.

    The Russian ruble is collapsing, crude oil prices are dropping, hackers can cancel the release of a movie with some vague threats, the recession continues. One small piece of the universe remains a constant. Somewhere, someone Swedish is stuffing a wholly inappropriate engine into a similarly inappropriate automobile.

    As with all questions posed on Jalopnik since a few months ago, the answer is Hellcat!

    So is the Ducati Scrambler a two-wheeled Hellcat? We must love it, we must adore it and anybody who looks past it and sees a moderately re-hashed Monster with a silly price tag is a heathen?

    Bear in mind that two stroke diesels are different to petrol two strokes.

    If you consider that small cars are Renault's core market then I think they'll be making enough of them to make it competitive. Look at how well Ford is doing with the 1.0 Ecoboost.

    You had me until diesel...

    I wonder how many choice French expletives were uttered when Bangle was in charge of the crayons...

The F12? The LaFerrari? And that's just one brand of the seventy million (moderate exaggeration) available in the game. Sure, we

    It was an epic engine and an epic race car. Ferrari was stung by Porsche putting together their bespoke hillclimb machine and decided to fight back, they gave the car to Peter Schetty who promptly won the 1969 European Hillclimb Championship. The car was later sold to enormously wealthy privateer racer Edoardo Lualdi

    Enzo V12

    Thoroughly excellent to find a Chris Harris column on Jalopnik. All I need now is for Mr. Harris to confess that he's fascinated by toy cars and apply for authorship on Live and Let Die Cast...

    Take in the quality details! Admire the design, thought and attention to detail that went into that enormous slab of metal which serves as a forward control mount!

    And yet the vast majority sold in the United States will end up with a 15 inch swingarm extension and chrome wheels.
