Watching the first 4 minutes of that, I was like, "okay, how in the gently caress does that M3 Car Porn remind him of this video?" Then the bike chase begins and it kinda looks reminiscent, probably because of the motion blurring.

EDIT: about that M3 car porn video, can anyone with an E92 confirm or deny that the drivetrain is in fact loud enough to make the V8 sound like a V10?

IIRC the whole "Starion" thing was a fuckup of global proportion. No one questioned it in English speaking countries until after the car was released.

Thats the only place I've seen the horse graphic, I do not think its an official mitsubishi logo.

As far as I know, there is no starion logo, except the stylized word "starion" on the back hatch. You can find starion logos, and all the cars graphics here:
http://www.austarion.com/tech/index.php

There are 2 common thoughts on the name.
1) engrish (but that also means they mis-spelled stallion as stalion, but with the r/l swap)
2) Star of Orion contracted to star ion

either one is kinda dumb, so whatever.

Just a few snippets of sound to go along the mental imagery, inspired by the latest episode of James May's Toy Stories in which he recreates (on site) the legendary Brooklands race track in Scalextric.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AxmM5iXIsU

Glorious sound.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXffAL505I

On the actual banking in 2007. Gotta love the white coats. (refuses to embed)

wiki says:

quote:

The Napier-Railton is an aero-engined race car built in 1933, designed by Reid Railton to a commission by John Cobb, and built by Thomson & Taylor. It was driven by Cobb, mainly at Brooklands race track where it holds the all-time lap record (143.44 mph (230.84 km/h)) which stands in perpetuity since the track fell into disuse during the Second World War.

Between 1933 and 1937 the Napier-Railton broke 47 World speed records at Brooklands, Montlhéry and Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. [1]

The car is powered by a naturally aspirated Napier Lion, a W12 of 23.944 litres (1,461 cu in) capacity, producing just over 500 brake horse power at 2200 revolutions per minute.[citation needed] The 12 cylinders are in three banks of four, hence the triple exhaust system. The crash gearbox has 3 ratios. The fuel tank has a capacity of 65 gallons and fuel consumption was approximately 5 mpg. Although capable of 168 mph (270 km/h) the car has rear wheel braking only. [2]

It is currently on display at the Brooklands Museum. It is in working order and is run at least twice a year, in March and November.

At the steepest banking, 6 ft from the edge at 120 mph, the forces were in equilibrium so the car follows the curve hands off. Takes some balls to give that a go.
