I drove an SMC F-Kart 170 a few weeks ago and feel like I have to share that experience with you here.

Here in Germany, there are manufacturer-owned dealerships and "classic" dealerships. That system works really well, actually. Not many OEMs have their own dealerships - in fact, these are mainly the German premium manufacturers, and usually they are only found in large cities. US-American ruling on this topic sounds…
They had been back for over a decade when this happened.
It's actually twincharged. ;)
Same team, same engine. The Mercedes-Benz S203 replaced their old S123 (the car in your GIF) for the 2013 season.
They rust like crazy after a few years, just like every other Mercedes-Benz delivery van.
Nobody seems to realize that the track they're racing on offers next to no grip at all and that these machines should last a bit longer than a single drag race down a quarter mile strip. Duct tape? Look where they put it. They used it to close panel gaps for improved air flow. Certainly makes sense for mile runs.
Well, the Octavia RS is not an exciting car either. It's fairly quick, decently built and handles not too shabbily while returning a decent mileage, but it's as interesting and emotion-inducing as a red food blender. Despite the fact that it constantly shreds front tires, that is. I know what I'm talking about, an…
Ruining a BMW 635csi for a restomod? Unacceptable, a big no-go. It's got a bloody race car engine with lots of potential, why would you even consider to swap it out? That car is perfect as it is.
The XL1 is actually made from carbon fiber. At the i-Mobility in Stuttgart (Germany) a few weeks ago, they actually allowed visitors to take a seat in one. This thing is awesome, but still too loud and uncomfortable for passengers, hence they are making and testing a pre-production fleet to get rid of the remaining…
This infographic is rubbish. Back to the drawing board, please. There's not a single LMP1 car that gets anywhere near 250 mph. Also, 520 hp are not the full reality. Not only do some cars have more with their internal combustion engines, but they also add up to 300 hp to those 520-550 hp through their electric motors.
Active weight balance management in the 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse DTM
It doesn't sound entirely unbelievable, considering the extra grip for acceleration. Let's all just keep in mind that Stefan Bellof lapped the same 20.832 km layout in 6:11'13 in the qualifying for the 1983 Nürburgring 1000 km race driving a Porsche 956. That was an average of just over 200 km/h and the only 200+ km/h…
1996 Brabus E V12. Same idea as the E7.4RS, but put together earlier. My job here is done.
Guys, couldn't you do some more research for the description of #7? That's the old super- and turbocharged Mercedes-Benz S123 (W123 wagon - ok, that error is excusable) of Black Smoke Racing from Finland. You threw in some Hungarian term there that has nothing to do with this particular car.
Caterham R500 vs. Gardner-Douglas Lola T70 at Imola, passing Ferraris, Lotuses and GT-Rs as if they were parked? Check. Drifting wildly? Check.
Crap, I must have missed the introduction of that one. Sorry and thanks. I am aware of that these 12-cylinder engines are merely niche engines today.
What gives you the illusion that BMW makes a TTV12? You just mixed BMW up with Mercedes-Benz. BMW's V12 is naturally aspirated and so is the W12 of the Audi A8 and VW Phaeton.
You can thank the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for that.
I disagree. If you constantly spot the errors of others, it means that you're paying attention to your direct environment on the road.
