Almost a knob.

Yeah, but by the look of things, the gunmen have been shot outside by an off-duty traffic cop, so apart from their heroic presence inside, the local SWAT didn’t actually do a lot there, did they?

There is no electric engine in the LMP1 GT-R Nismo. It’s a kinetic energy recovery system that employs an mechanical, 8-kilogram flywheel spinning at 60k rpm tops. The additional 700 (or so) HP is available for bursts of around three seconds. Note: LMP1 engine regulations make it virtually impossible to make more than

Ruf RT12 R. If not floored, from 0 to 4000 rpm it goes like your regular daily driver 911 Turbo. And then 730 HP happens (they say 730 HP. In fact it can be 950HP if you ask Alois nicely enough). This is an absolutely bonkers car, it’s a 911 Turbo as it should be. It is pure perfection, but better.

Decimated? As in "cut into 10 parts, one part taken away, put back together"?

Clearly photoshopped.

Proof that short wheelbase sucks at drifting.

Absolutely. However we have always felt like we belong to the central/western culture (and in the matter of fact, with the exception of half the 20th century - we did).

No, actually apart from salvaging some drivetrain parts from pre-war and early post-war italian trucks at the beginning stage of development, the Stars and Jelczes were of genuinely Polish design.

Technically, Eastern Europe begins east of Poland.

Actually, Praga cars are not from Romania, but they come from the Czech Republic. It's because Prague (Praga) is the capital city of the Czech Republic.

Can't wait for it.

Mandatory #fwddoesnotdrift hashtag.

How crazy was America post-WWII? Crazy enough to attempt to build a nuclear-powered plane, the Convair NB-36H, and yes, Russia tried as well with their Tupelov Tu-119.

This whole idea begs for a facepalm GIF.

This is a well-known issue that plagues all TFSI direct-injection engines. You may ask why Audi did a recall that lowered the output of thr RS4's V8 significantly (it wasn't just because of the clutch).

In fact: since I started this writing thing in 2013, I've met up with roughly 75 different Jalopnik readers – and the results of these meetings have ranged from "best friend" to "holy crap what excuse should I make to get out of here." In other words: in this world of social media and public profiles, the stigma of an

This looks like the best video game ever.

Not unless you stack the Elios together. Width of the Elio has not been given, ever, however they have stated the front track (66.8 inch) which is actually wider than the total width of a Honda Jazz (66.73 inch). So the Elio parked in a lot will actually take more space than a Jazz (although one would be able to crawl

Doesn't look too space-saving for me.
