Slow news day in the Jalopnik offices.

Can car makers please dial it back a bit with the giant-ass grills? 

That is a fair point. No way could I tell the difference. However, we got down to 2.4 by auto makers shaving off 1/10th of a second here and there. If people had said “it’s only a 1/10 faster who cares.” then the fastest accelerating car would be 3.8 or something (total guess I have no idea). I bet i could tell the…

Never. I did a test drive of a P100d. I must have done full speed launch at 3 or 4 times. Acceleration is the only max performance number that most people will ever actually get to use. Part of what makes electrics so cool is that they make max acceleration more approachable then most cars

Disagree. I bet tesla owners use this a ton. I’ve only test driven a P100d, but I maxed it out at least 4 times. If I owned one I would use it all the time. 

Answer.

These are premium versions of cars. Who gives a damn about what a BMW 528 does in the 0-60, but an M5 we care about. Get a S75 if you just want a Tesla.

5 seconds down to 3 seconds is nearly twice as fast. Meaning nearly twice the acceleration. You notice that. A lot. Acceleration is something that you can use. Your never going to get your ferrari up to 207, but you accelerate all the time. I test drove a P90d not long ago. The dealer had me ripping away from every…

Pretty much what Motor Trend on Demand is. The first few seasons of top gear were good. After a bit it just became way too fake and scripted. What made it fun was that it seemed real. Once that was gone it wasn’t really very funny.

Weight distribution probably isn’t the answer here. weight balance would probably not cause any change due to how the car would fall during such a short distance. I could see it affecting the compression and rebound of the springs as the car hits and leaves the ramp. AWD could be the answer. As you go off a ramp when…

The M4 looks better than the old M3 coupes, but still not as good as the 4 door. I can’t imagine why anyone would pay more for a car with e exact same performance, but not as good looking and way less practical. I will never understand the coup version of 4 door cars

Yes! agreed

Not ugly, but certainly not great. Full disclosure, I never liked the DB 7 or 9. they were misperportioned. The V8 Vantage was one of the prettiest cars ever made though. They got the demensions just right and didn’t go nuts with styling. That’s why everyone loves the F-Type too.

What a mess. Way too busy. Didn’t the Jag F-Type show the world that simplicity is the way to go?

Teslas are the modern enthusiast car. They are cool as hell and amazing to drive. I’d take a model S with Ridiculus mode over a M5, or M3 any day. I love a car that can be relaxing and comfortable one minute and then rip my face off the next. Times are changing. Embrace it. It’s better. Do you know how your computer…
