Modern Ro80:

The ACO banned ALL engines that weren’t 3.5L F1-type naturally aspirated engines for 1992, not just the Rotary. I know I am about to beat a fossilized horse but Mazda won that race due to reliability and fuel economy (and lack of accidents), things usually not associated with rotary engines. Everyone knows the 787B…

Plot twist, the 400Z will be built on the BMW Z4 Chassis

Way back when I rode with six others and a dog in a six seater VW Minivan (7 plus dog). I got to share the right half of the boot with our dog

Maybe, but judging from the teaser images it doesn’t seem like the new 4/4 looks much different than it did for the past 65 years. More likely Morgan just put the classic 4/4 body on a modern chassis, because thats what Morgan does.

What if I told you that GM also planned to make a version with a 1.9L PSA Turbodiesel which never reached production? Also manual obviously

Length and Weight laws. Within europe a semi-trailer unit is allowed a maximum length of 16.5m, as opposed to america where only the length of the trailer itself is restricted. The US used to specify a maximum length of the whole combi, which is why until the 1980s Cab-over trucks used to be much more common in…

Practical Wedge:

These were powered by a Ford Flathead V8. Kind of. By the 1960s Simca do Brasil had evolved the 1930s 136ci Flathead into a 2.5L with Overhead Valves and Hemispherical combustion chambers making 140hp.
