The latest E63 AMG uses a clutch-based four-wheel-drive system that’s able to send up to 100% of engine torque to either axle.

The “electric mountain” you linked cost nearly half a million pounds and ten years to build and produces no net energy. Same with the integrated batteries on the wind turbines. That’s the problem with energy storage systems- they don’t produce energy.
Just got a manual Xterra- first time driving a modern SUV with a manual transmission. Night and day experience from a typical autotragic SUV. Absolutely love it!
I think these are cool! But never really interested me since I don’t think they’ve had a manual transmission since 2002?
Was going to post this if you didn't.
This comment thread is the largest I’ve ever spawned on Jalopnik. In honor of that, here’s a link to today’s article on Earther which supports my argument: https://earther.gizmodo.com/the-dirty-truth-about-green-batteries-1833922990
Well Done.
God. I feel so, so alone when I say this but... I’m just so very very *SICK* of screens in cars. I’m sick of infotainment. I’m sick of how one third of every new car review is wasted talking about infotainment and useless gadgets and features that have nothing to do with driving. And I just can’t tolerate how…
I like you. A star for your 100% accurate comment that I couldn’t have written better myself.
Jason!! You did it! And in only about 5 years!
This is a great review, Alanis. I think you hit the nail on the head with your ND1 vs ND2 assessment.
God damn right.
Wrong.
It’s been over 16 years and this is the very first time someone has recognized it.
It is also included in air travel, unless you are flying in a private jet, in which case, the mob will deal with you later.
That, in addition to the nine extra horsepower—bringing the total to 104 HP—made the GT6+ “the most sought-after model among the GT6.
I already got hell for saying this to some friends when I first saw that BaT listing, but I’ll say it again:
It’s dumb to pay a premium for a ‘vintage racing kart’ because there’s no such thing. They still make karts just like this today. You can still get the same engine, same tires, same drum brake, same solid axle,…
On top of that, I would be able to (safely) tear up the orange and red tree-lined backroads in my hometown in Connecticut for the weekend.
Yes exactly! I actually think it’s likely that enough of the materials exist, but not in an easily-obtainable fashion. We might end up “destroying the planet” by trying to “save” it with the industry involved. And, if the technology improves and requires a different rare material, then it starts all over again.
