That’s the point. Disco Volante means “flying saucer” and is also the name of Largo’s hydrofoil in Thunderball.

Opel/Vauxhall tried it with the Zafira OPC/VXR. They were bloody quick (240hp, 60 in 7.2 and 144mph) but they were also expensive to run and pretty hairy to drive, being FWD and all.

Not only that, I’ve heard that some fasten it first and put it on like a jumper.

They’re doing pretty damn well. China’s scooping up a fat load of them.

Mid-engined, so the fuel tank probably goes in the front, like a Porsche.

Nope, I believe those are the standard bumpers. The TR7 was designed primarily for the US market, so blame US legislation.

Not a bad idea actually, the TR8s that went racing had Rover V8s.

Jeez, the Pathfinder used to be a big, beefy thing...

Apart from the fact that the P1 has two enormous turbos, but go on...

I am trying extremely hard not to laugh.

I don’t understand the positioning of the Back button here. Surely on a LHD car, you would be controlling this with your right hand, so wouldn’t it be more ergonomic for the Back button to be positioned on the left for your thumb to push?

I have a freak story to tell - hand on my heart it’s true. My family owned not one, but two Freelanders in olive green. One standard, the next a Sport. And they never suffered any of the incredible stories of unreliability - the only things that regularly went wrong on both was one (and only that one) headlight would…

Both and more. Import tariffs drive the prices up, along with specialised parts LC-specific only.

I’m not sure if you’re implying that the Land Cruiser isn’t a serious vehicle, because it is.

Clarkson wasn’t free from being carsick either though, just a thought...

What do you mean, five year life expectancy? The first Lagonda delivered didn’t even work, all the electrics were fried :P

It really depends on how the tub is damaged. As far as I know, Pagani used the same tub over and over for crash tests on the Huayra.

Well I suppose it’s repairable to the tune of an unholy amount of money. Those carbon tubs are stronk.

You’d be surprised by the number of Kei vans and trucks in Japan then. In the West, they wouldn’t be great sellers but in Japan they’re very popular because they can go places where other normal sized trucks could only dream of. When I was in Osaka two years ago, there was a fish delivery truck in the fish market I…

Girls Und Panzer. A bunch of high school girls driving tanks in competitions.
