This reminds me of how Porsche does their IP buttons.

Looks like the video is back now, but in case it disappears again:

Looks like the video got Kinja’d. Tried it on my phone as well with the same result.

But the real question is what’s the lug nut torque requirement for them?!?

Those bothered me too, so I did this quick ‘shop in MS Paint some time ago. MUCH better IMO.

Yeah it currently is rated at 185 horsepower at 3,000 rpm and 350 pounds-feet of torque from 1,500-2,750 rpm, which is ok, but not competitive with the EcoDiesel. Also that motor is exclusively built in South Africa and I heard they’re already running at capacity to support that motor in the global Ranger.

Yes, after all of the problems with the 6.0L PSD.

JOYYYY!!!!

To me it looks very red, not orange, but spectacular none the less!

That is the best part!

Yeah, most new cars have autolamps, but you still need to position the switch in the auto setting for them to work and it isn’t there by default. On all new GM cars for the past few years, it is in Auto by default and will actually spring back to auto if you hit Off, so that it will turn them off, but next time you…

It’s a serious problem around Detroit, where there’s about 5% of the metro area that actually requires brights at night, if that, yet there’s tons of people running around with brights on all of the time. Also when people have one low beam headlight bulb go out, they put their brights on to avoid tickets and have both…

Because I watch too much Velocity TV, I think of this when I hear Endurance.

Wow, great article Raphael! I’ve always loved the S7 and it was very interesting to hear the differing stories about its development.

I was on an FSAE team and we found these giant spoilers to be unnecessary because these cars never see enough speed to really take any advantage of them. We found it wasn’t worth the weight, cost and extra complexity, so we stuck with a spoilerless design and concentrated our efforts on other parts of the car (our…

“You could see smoke coming out from the wheels, he was taking the curves that fast.”

One step closer to windowless and autonomous safety bubbles we’ll be riding around in! :-/

The important question is, can I fill up my tires or run pneumatic tools off of it too?!?

Thank you for explaining this to the masses. So many people don’t realize that it’s really not that expensive or hard to do a production tool for a plastic part vs 3D printing as well as the inherit brittleness of 3D printed parts, as you pointed out. I agree it does make a fantastic design tool, but is still far from…
