oxbrain posted:1:15 of useless intro, 0:45 of good video, 0:57 of cameraman zooming in and out. Yeah, I tried to find the original -- a much longer single take with the engine start and the ominous first loud POP! that lets you know something good and wholesome is about to happen -- but I couldn't find it.

Contraband posted:This certainly is a quick E30: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xJO3C0j8F3U&feature=related That's in kilometers, not miles  Only about 150 mph. Not that the car will run much longer with the driver going way past the redline like that.

EL Bombastico posted:old school Best Motoring Sports Wagon race! (includes Volvos) An RS6 vs. a V70 T5? You've got to be joking. I drive a C70 that has the same T5 engine, and it's not exactly "sporty". It's nice (though not exactly my cup of tea), but you're not going to win any races with that.

When the going gets downright impossible, get a Unimog. Apparently Mercedes makes a souped-up "Black" version as well (incorrectly identified as a Brabus). Future models will have eco-friendly Bluetec engines too...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpUMSarCSQw The year is 1976. You start thinking, "you know what would be great? Try a mile-long car jump over a major cargo shipping lane in a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental!" As they often say on Top Gear, "that's not gone well."

Psylocibe posted:That looks like a Vanagon to me. A lot of Chinese vehicles are based on old western designs and particularly VW ones, as VW has been present in China probably for the longest time of any car manufacturer. In fact the one car model you will see most in China (by at least a 3 to 1 margin) is something called the Volkswagen Santana, which is a China-only model. Virtually all taxicabs and non-truck, non-bus service vehicles (e.g. cop cars) are VW Santanas. Edit: and Santanas are based, as near as I can tell, on old Audi (a VW brand) designs.

Since we're all on that crash-test vibe, he's a 1988 film made by GM about crash testing and featuring a guy wearing the "eighties-est" sweater this side of the Cosby Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNGOCmmHGfU&feature=related Those shots of European crash testing being done by actual people are just insane...

RealKyleH posted:This was awesome but am I the only one who does not understand where the million dollars went? If the inflation calculator is to be believed, 1 million in 1975 has the buying power of about 3.95 million today. Where the gently caress did it go? Clearly not into streamlining the car... They did have to develop the rocket system, fully test it, get the ramps built, get some publicists, ground crews, etc. and they also probably had to get all sorts of permits in both the Canadian and the US locale. I'm rather surprised that in the end they were able to find two stuntsmen daft enough to sign on to the project...

mcvey posted:Wait so did they miss a turn or...? I don't get it. I'm guessing they were supposed to stop before the fence? As I understand it the guy saw what seemed like an open straight stretch beyond the fence so he decided to punch through it instead of following the road like he was supposed to.
