The Ultima is the product of Ultima Sports Ltd of Hinckley, Leicestershire, England, which I believe is also where a lot of Stilton cheese comes from so good on them. Unlike the cheese, the cars are available in both turn-key and kit form, and feature a sort of old school tube-frame chassis onto which an IMSA-style…

Honda is not the kind of lazy, cut-a-few-corners, engineering company to not split the pin. Guesswork, but makes sense.

A 90° V6 can regain a 120° firing pattern by using split crankpins, with adjacent crankpins offset by 15° in opposite directions.

No, it (probably) means that, any time you are not at 100% throttle, the alternator will harvest energy for the batteries, so there is instant recharge as soon as there is a power reserve.

Untill you learn of Donkervoort.

If you want to call the 2CV a mistake (Production lasted from 1948 to 1990, all 2CV variants combined total 8.8 million) then, by all means, PLEASE LET ME MAKE A MISTAKE LIKE THAT!!!

It's not a good business proposition, if your business is the traditional/conventional model of producing and selling as much cars as you can.

Well, yes and no. You can also make valve-operated 2-stroke engines. With proper active valve timing, you can even make an engine that can switch modes between 2-stroke and 4-stroke. (And even go 6-stroke, if you do water injection/steam forming on the third down-and-up-stroke.)

Walk into a Citroën dealership, buy a DS3 Sport Chique 150 for some €25000, and then have them do the FIA approved work done for some €60000. You can take this Junior DS3 racing in any FIA approved rally event. Ok, it isn't WRC spec, but you can buy it as privateer.

I'd guess that those sugars would combust just fine. Sugar burns easily, really.

The Koenigsegg CCXR can run on pure ethanol. Problem solved!

Methanol synthesis is already possible on a lab scale. Take water, take captured/sequestered CO2, take electricity (from hydro, solar or wind, if you're about the environment) and you have methanol without the use of ex-dinosaurs. There is some surplus oxygen. No harm in dumping that into the environment.

I think you missed the point. Setting up logistics for transport, storage and fueling of hydrogen is difficult. You need new forms of transport (fuel trucks), new forms of storage (tanks) and new forms of fueling equipment. Because it's either very high pressure gas, or very very cold liquid. Oh, and get that rolled…

At a guess, this will allow you to change the wheel without having to remove the panel. Any lower and you can't get the wheel in or out of the wheel well.

Those FCs are not of the direct type. DFMCs take, as the name implies, the liquid directly, no need to decompose it first.

Sorry, no, form does not take presedence over function in this case. Wheel well covers lower aerodynamic drag. They are not there primarily for aestetic purposes.

What I still don't get is this:

Wild guess: (team) medic taking contactless temperature? Check if he's not at risk of heat stroke / hyperthermia. Driving a WRC car is physically demanding, so it's not too far fetched.

Is Porsche proud of his work back in Stuttgart? I bet they are. I haven't heard a complaint from Norbert Singer for using his name, and when it comes to Butzi's legacy, he was all about pure design. He would party with these guys all day long.

Water-methanol injection system, direct-injection nozzles.
