Well, absolutely! This is the reason Horacio keeps building this (no doubt, excellent) car. However the car itself has some limits and other companies like McLaren, Porsche or Ferrari have progressed big time. I don't see the Zonda chassis to be easily adaptable to a hybrid powertrain, with the engine being a stressed…

If Škoda dealed properly with the crosswind sensitivity of the wagon, this is going to be a very, very good car indeed.

I hope it would have a big sticker reading "This is the final one and we will do no more, we promise". Seriously, they start going all Lamborghini with this car. Just like the dated Gallardo gets a new lease of life with yet another "final" edition (how many of them did they launch already?) the Zonda is being revived…

"Daddy, go fast? Go fast?" became the refrain every time we got in the car. It's like the California DMV genetically engineered my son to make me lose my license. When I got to a clear stretch of road I'd bury the pedal and both father and son would squeal with idiotic glee as we surged forward. One time I really…

A couple of my American friends had some hard time pronouncing "Hoffmeister kink". I wonder why.

Damn, I nailed it without even knowing.

Apart from the faux-Fuchs wheels which I find look like an aftermarket add-on, it's gorgeous.

Isn't it the MG Midget? No, it isn't, but the name seems appropriate.

Like a rock.

Because emissions. This car runs at the (bottom) limit of Euro5 and is still dog slow, not to mention agile as a dead cow compared to a PDK'd Cayman S.

Matt, as long as you're promoting my comments, you're OK.

You got it rather wrong. The red (positive, +) cable is always to be fitted last and removed first. It prevents the accidental short-circuit.

It's because they build Lamborghinis in Italy.

My wife's got an X as well. So here it goes:

This wheel is always going to be powered. The front one, not really so. Sorry, creating an SDrive (RWD) version of the X5 defies the sole purpose of this car.

That'll let it do 0-60 in 4.9 seconds with an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph. It's also a BRZ less than an M5 or an E63 AMG, although less refined and more Beatlemania. Maybe they'll have one in the press fleet next time one of us is in the UK...

Where is the "burn it with fire" option?

And he will. The clutch disc that exploded and ripped the oil and fuel lines is being replaced along with the bellhousing and wiring loom. The engine survived the fire, however I can imagine it will be reviewed thoroughly, especially since it was stopped abruptly and all sort of damage could have happened to the…
