A neighbour of mine just bought a tamora. I'm curious as to how long it'll last before it breaks down/is crashed in this lovely weather.

There's only 99 cars. Super rare. Some people are into that.
Kinda like that Mercedes CLK DTM that wasn't that great but still every one bought for mad money.

Also where are you getting 'marginally out performs a mustang' from?

There's a world of difference between a tarted up 3 series and the CLK GTR in the exotic looks department.

I get marginally outperforms the Mustang because the GTS has 30hp more than the Mustang and weighs almost the same as the Mustang. $150k in price premium should offer something more substantial than that.

DTM not GTR.

Also who cares about paper stats. If it laps quick as gently caress then it's fine.

He's just picking up on the bold accent line down the side of both cars as pretty similar.

I like the detail on the range where it looks like the wheel arch is intersecting a continuous piece on the lights to the vents. Very nice. Probably only works from this angle though.

It looks OK but how does a V12 front engine car have a 47:53 weight distribution? Does it have a live axle rear? I'm not really warmed up to the idea of an AWD Ferrari anyway.

Engine set pretty far back and big heavy rear diff/gearbox?

The 4C concept is out. Nice. I'm just going to link to the AB gallery, there aren't any that the booth models aren't in the way of unfortunately.

Supposedly 200+ HP from the 1750cc four (which makes 270 in the top level Giulietta, so that seems like a reasonable point) and around 1800 lbs. Should be fun. Should also be expensive as it gets down to that weight via a lot of high tech materials.

It's like a 8C hosed an elise :stare:

gently caress BMW and gently caress this car. The 5 GT makes me angry and this certainly will too.

On the bright side, the new M5 is hilarious. We were passed on the autobahn by a camo'd up 5 series, noticed quad exhausts and a big diff brace. Proceeded to get along side it and snap away, the dude floored it and it absolutely vanished. Sounded amazingly nice too.

The new Jag 2.2 owns. Also I took pictures of it.


Jaguar XF 2.2 by AshBurrows, on Flickr

Probably the best looking car in its class? Prettier than E90s etc imo.
