So, this trailer showed up today...

Something awesome was inside.

It's a Agera R!

Dive planes on the front for additional downforce. They're also the same awesome blue carbon fiber the stripes on the hood are. Depending on which way you look at them, they're blue or black. Once saw a whole Veyron in this color. It's a lot cooler in small doses.

The trunk / boot upfront is VERY small. Then again, it's big enough to fit the roof or a couple of bags of press material. So if you're looking for a family car. This is not the car for you.

With crazy doors you can open next to a curb! They're high enough a normal curb won't bother you. Actual millage may vary. The doors are VERY cool. They actually have a damper in them that means they can't "slam" open. You can throw them with all your strength or loose them in a gust of wind but they won't open that hard.

Inside is hard to see. It's mostly Alcantara with a splash of leather. Very luxurious. The back wall is white leather, amazing. You can also see the "blue" side of the carbon fiber from this angle. You can also see the door release button and they key slot. The key is a proximity fob, but just in case the battery is dead, there is a hole. Was not allowed to sit inside. The car isn't mine after all.

Twin tubo V8 putting out a piddly 1170 hp. If you look to the left of the gear box, the silver you see is the floor of the car. There is NOTHING back here but engine and frame. The weird crooked bar seemingly asymmetrically placed on top of the gear box / suspension housing is actually the antiroll bar equivalent.

Holy poo poo! It's Christian von Koenigsegg. Awesome guy, really into his car and it shows. He spent a lot of time just showing us everything about the car and answering all our silly questions about it. He had a dream and went for it. I really admire that and I'd love to buy a car off him but I'm not that rich.

The cap on the left is washer fluid. It has the Koenigsegg shield on it, but the picture washed it out. The brake cooling duct is kevlar. You can also see that the harnesses for the car apparently come with it. I was also told the wheel bearings are off a helicopter as they could not find a normal car bearing that was stiff enough.

Left parked next to a Prius. Somehow fitting. You can also see the blue stripes from this angle.

Today was a awesome day.

I know this was early in the thread but holy gently caress koenigseggs are nice.

The beater Aston, the street parked R8, the Turbo some guy clearly gives no gently caress about, that's London in a nutshell. I live by Chelsea Harbour where we get to hear all the footballers roaring past in their cars. The latest set is a Gallardo LP560 which sounds glorious, and a blacked out SLS with straight pipes that sounds less than.

Hell that unreleased Aston I posted a few pages back was in the Sainsbury's carpark

What exactly constitutes a beater aston? Also I like how there's a merc jeep parked infront of the rari.

they made a whole bunch after this one, honestly in the first one i dont think there were any police (just some mates in a volvo) just a driver and a car doing something that a lot of people wish they could. the ones after this one are more high risk check them out.

So instead of coolant temperature you had oil temp, neat. had to been a pain in traffic.
I think i might combine my rally dream and a 911.

Is it just a dude with a fast car driving and having fun with cameras attached to his car? That owns.

To be honest, it's better looking in grey than it was in red, but it just seems like they've made it into a caricature of what it used to be, and I half expected them to be sold as miniatures only with the way it looked.

Really? Because it's the best looking modern corvette(since the C3 to C4 switch in design) by a mile. Actually looks like a properly stylized car.

Keeping up with the Joneses AI style. Also, my car may have snuck into the shot

Bit of back story of sorts: I drive past these every day and usually there's usually a Commodore and Falcon station wagon next to each Porsche, to add to the symmetry. I meant to get a picture for the longest time but the Porsche on the right disappeared about 2 months ago. It reappeared yesterday so I took the chance while I could.

Need more pics of your car actually.

I'm normally about corners, but you don't often get a chance to go for a top speed run on an airstrip.

Here are some of the other cars that are coming along Entrants (Facebook link)

And yes, everyone here thought that it was from a videogame and tried to get a sweet burn on Lightbulb out! because he and Zlatan are apparently the only people in AI (other than me, I guess) who know that Lightroom, Photoshop, and polarizing filters for cameras exist.

How about instead of trying to get a sweet burn, you post some awesome AI car poo poo?

I recommend everyone watch the documentary titled Senna, it's probably one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and it's a really sad story. The season that senna passed away he was constantly insisting that the cars were extremely unsafe to drive because of how fast and uncontrollable they were and the weekend he got in his accident there were 2 other brutal crashes.

I wonder why they don't turbo the R8, it's not like they're against turbos in all their cars considering I think all the S classes are turbocharged.

Krakkles posted:

Why do you think they SHOULD turbo the R8?

There's certainly arguments for either side of it - they've already gotten 550hp out of a 5.2L (hp/L ), it's probably marginally more reliable/simple to produce, they COULD get MORE power out of it, the turbo may translate to more/less drivability, etc.

It's an easy(relatively speaking) way to get a lot more power out of an engine.

Did you even look at the last photo (of the rear)? It was apparently designed by a 12 year old boy.

Which has been typical for corvettes for decades. It's like they just give up for the last foot or so of the car.

Yeah I did actually look at it, and I like it a lot. Could you give me some examples of some "grown up cars" since apparently the corvette is made by children?
