3D printed turbos and over 1000nm torque from 3000 to 7800. Holy gently caress. He just seems so humble in every video I've seen of him, it seems like he cares less for out doing other manufacturers, but rather more than making batshit crazy cars and actually experimenting with components.

Being slightly deranged is probably mandatory at Koenigsegg. Carbon. Fiber. Springs.

And if I'm not mistaken, with what he's saying about the increased weight savings he's expecting on the actual production models, this thing will have a better than 1:1 power to weight ratio. With a stereo. loving madness.

But I never hear of cars producing x pounds of thrust, it's always horsepower, or some moonspeak number like PS or whatever, so how does this work with cars? In this case, it's Horsepower:Kilograms. Basically cherry picking imperial/metric units to make the numbers work.

Cherry picking or not it's a crazy number for a "production" car. If you can call a Koenigsegg prototype production that is.

Metric horsepower is the most enraging unit on the planet, at least to a units sperg. It's like someone saw the metric system and said "it's so perfect and symmetrical" and then thought to themselves "we should emulate the absolute worst stupidity of the imperial system and come up with a half assed backwards unit for something we already have" and thus kilowatts weren't good enough, and an oddball unit of instantaneous power, the metric horsepower, was required as well. Not even kidding, it's less logical than the imperial one. Imperial horsepower are at least a whole number of watts. PS/metric horsepower is the turd in the punch bowl. </  >

Although the dude was driving like a jackass, considering there wasn't any vehicles behind him, I would have just let them pass, then moved back to the overtaking lane. What a jackass, though. Just desserts, anyone?

Horsepower is based on rotation which is why it is misleading for a linearly translating car. What you want is code:You can than use work/energy methods to find the change in speed over distance or impulse/momentum methods to find the change in speed over time.

I had the same itch about left lane camping, but you can see the driver pass two other vehicles before bro passes on the right. If I was guessing, I think she was actually going a little faster than the speed limit. And whatever, gently caress the bro truck rear end in a top hat.

That video is a prime example of douchebag on douchebag crime. The idiot lady in the left lane clearly had space to move over... and the dudebro was, well, a dudebro. The only thing that would have made it better is if she proceeded to drive into a guardrail or something while filming him crashing.

In most states the law doesn't specify, you're supposed to keep right except to pass on any multi lane road. Fair point, though, it's definitely a lot more justifiable if there are lights and left turn lanes and stuff.

Whether one is legally required to move over on any particular road is a different matter from whether someone is a douchebag for dawdling in the left lane. Two wrongs don't make a right. Mr. Overcompensation is wrong for tailgating and did get his instant karma, but Ms. Self Righteous behind the camera is wrong for not just moving over. If someone wants to pass properly, regardless of their speed, and you are choosing to prevent them from doing so you are also in the wrong.

SanitysEdge posted:Horsepower is based on rotation which is why it is misleading for a linearly translating car. You just gave a whole boatload of numbers to come up with something even less relevant than horsepower by itself. You can game that one by gearing, too, but it still doesn't mean much compared to the car's ability to get traction / ability to maintain that acceleration / mass that must be accelerated. At which point we're back to just bench racing 0-60, 1/4 mile, and Ring laptimes, so who the gently caress cares? Stop worrying about the numbers, does the car give you a smile and/or erection when you get in it? Or, make you fear for your life?
