So what's the deal with the S-FR? They're going to cancel it at the last minute, right? Or it's only going to be available in Japan. Or they're only selling it in diarrhea brown? the production model will be a five-door crossover? engine will be single-cylinder for emission regulations? price starts at 30k for base model? What is the catch?

Think its using a 1.2 or 1.5 liter i4 with 120 hp, so about as much as the other f-rs.

I really dislike modern track design. It seems like a contest to make a circuit as challenging as possible to the exclusion of fun bits that make tracks famous.

What makes a track fun?

Also, MCM have really gone up a notch in their production there.

because its a sponsored add for fast and furious 8 they just don't tell you outright. Still is an interesting watch.

So was the FF8 cars behind the scenes. And the Dominic Corvette video. The Mod Max stuff was clearly sponsored as well.

I suspect it's more that with them getting stuff on TV, they're mindful of what will "sell" well.

I forgot they had the discovery deal.

The Door Frame posted:

The one that caught fire any time it had to go up a slight incline, had to be scuttled more often than it was taken out by enemy fire, and was only produced because Ferdinand Porsche had built a bunch chassis before they found out that the diesel electric engine was a big pile of dookie?

E: and then they updated it to the Elephant, making it even heavier without upgrading its horrible powertrain?

Porche tiger/ferdinand/elephant caught fire more often then a tesla. But atleast you can open the doors on those tanks when the vehicle catches fire.

Today I learned the AZ-1 was developed in the UK. In loving ESSEX of all places by a company called Hawtal Whiting (sadly no longer with us). When the company went into liquidation they sold the AZ-1 they had at the HQ to an ex-staffer for FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS. Also while in testing at Millbrook proving grounds the AZ-1 claimed the lap record for the outer track. And another test driver managed to roll one seventeen times on the hill route.
