Just saw this on Autocar: http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/246142/ Isn't the point of motorways supposed to let vehicles travel at higher speeds so that people can get to their destinations faster, and make transport more time-efficient? Also, I think that bit about C02 emissions is just rubbish. What kind of research was that, and how can they be so sure that it'd be the case for all vehicles? And why is the whole world (the UK in particular, from what i've observed) so fixated on C02 emissions? Yes, it is a major contributing factor to climate change, but it surely can't be the only factor? Even though I live halfway round the world, this does worry me quite a bit, that governments all around the world will follow suit. Coincidentally, I just watched the Doctor Who episode The Sound of Drums (S3 E12), where the British PM (the Doctor's arch-enemy in disguise) goes all loony and tries to bring about the end of the world. Either funnily or scarily, what the UK government is doing now makes me think a lot about that episode...

Unless you've forgotten that this isn't SoTW... EyeKatcher, I thought we're not allowed to do replicas?

How on earth did you guess that? -
I wonder, does HSV here stand for Honda Special Vehicles? It looks great though. Shame about it being front-engined, but if they can commission the car to go racing, hopefully Honda will release a road-going model in the near future, once the economy recovers

Wow, you're a pretty lucky guy then

Objectively, yeah it is a stupid, pointless, useless lump of metal/carbonfibre, but all the same, you just have to love something as completely bonkers as this :nuts:

Wow, how'd you get that angle?

Hasn't news of this thing been out for a long time already? Anyway, I think it looks pretty awesome, even if it is totally insane...

Yep :) -
You make this very very tough. For me it's either the Miura P400SV, Diablo SV or Gallardo Balboni. But where's the Estoque? :(

Jay Leno Drives his SLS AMG Through Mulholland
Car Freak replied to iLLGT3's topic in Automotive Discussion
The interior looks pretty darned special. Lovely crackling from the exhausts as well. Doesn't sound so good in the video, but i'm sure it's much better from inside the car. Only thing about this video is that now all the street racers will head up there, leading to more police patrols, and eventually the authorities will do something to the road to make it "safer", i.e. less fun to drive.. -
That's Mark, BTW ;)

Insane is good here I think. Ugly as hell, but it does look really awesome. That MiG name isn't undeserved.

Nah, it looks simple from a spectator's point of view, but apart from what DriftNismo said, can you imagine the kind of air turbulence, and the skill and reactions required to keep teh car going straight, in the middle of those 40 cars at 180+mph? Also, unlike in F1 and other circuit racing, there literally isn't any room for mistakes. Get sideways on a circuit and if you're lucky, you'll just spin with no damage done to the car. Get sideways on a NASCAR track, and you could quite possibly end up with a 20+ car pileup (which of course we all like to see :D)
