The Compensator

Yeah, there's a few unknown, not-yet announced cars. 2016 BMW (probably M2) XE-S, "unknown" Aston, Holden, Juke Nismo RS, etc.

Yeah... nah. They are not the right ones.

Looking at the specs of the SL rims, it appears that the ET is -17mm lower. While moving the wheels towards outside is always welcomed (and it baffles me that manufacturers do not care about this important visual aspect), you'd have to check if the wheels would fit in there. I have no idea how much room there is.

Watch out for the offset and width of the double seven-spoke rims because W/S212 and A207 do not share the same rims even though they look the same. And the 212 runs 10mm narrower tires compared to your CLS. However, that is not an issue.

W212

A207

C218

I think the 7-spokes for the CLS have only been available in the awful chinese black/silver style as part of the Nightpaket.

BTW, what about the forged 5-spoke rims on page 40?

Think they are the same design as on the new C AMG coupe, but again, the offsets are different (ET37/52). You'd have to get spacers installed.

Now that you've mentioned it... Racetracks, where are they!!!

inb4 forza 6.

Yuh, but TDU had one and it was super fun.

The 86 is in the video CLR posted.

looks ok. :nods:

Exactly what I like about the game. I am into little details and we all know that small things make a big difference. I've always dreamt about a game that would let you configure your car like on manufacturer's websites, customize everything, etc.

NFS UG2 had the best tuning ever, Driveclub paid great attention to details (panel gaps, sounds), TDU let you get different interiors... Combine all of this, add more and take my money.

Easier said than done, I know. :cheeky:

Still no SLS AMG Coupe

are you kidding me?!

Vintage entry post.

Every second generation of the Golf since the 2005 MkV has been actually just a facelift : MkV - VI, VII - VIII

VW's patent images (?) of the MkVIII Golf and MkII CC.

I'm not sure if we've had this before... but if we have let's call this the 2016 edition :p

 

Just has the title says, what have you played recently, and was it any good?

Real Life: Adult Edition 2016.

It's no good. 3/10

People who say that powerful cars capable of more than xxx kph are envious of those who have them, and too poor to buy such cars.

That said, you don't really need a G 63 to daily drive around LA/London/Berlin. Moscow is a different story. :p

Yeah.

Not as nice as the coupe.

And that's also a mistake of the vid: it's CLK-GTR, or CLR. There's no thing like a CLR-GTR other than in my humble imaginary world, and that was because as a kid, the names made no sense to me so I just smashed the CL and CLK-GTR together, the way I thought Merc treated their names. :p

How come I have never heard of the CLR? Mortified. :faint:

#germancarslookthesameanyway

It actually even says "CLR" in the video title, lol

Continuing the Monterey Car Week theme:

BMW repainted the blue 2002 Hommage concept previously showed at Villa d'Este. I love the name.

Cadillac Escala

Unlike the CT6, upon which the Escala is based, the concept is a liftback design and has a body roughly 6 inches longer than its donor car.

 

The narrow headlights and diverging taillight design are a radical departure from the brand’s current look, though the lower fascia of the Escala resembles production models.

 

Inside, the Escala promises a “dual personality” design, offering modern technology with three curved OLED digital screens for the driver and front passenger, while the rear seats are focused on relaxation, Cadillac said.

 

A new prototype infotainment and connectivity setup using voice commands and gesture controls is also included.

 

Escala (Spanish for ‘scale,’ rather than Escalade with the end chopped off) is also intended to signal Cadillac’s intent to move into a more premium space.

 

“Depending on the development of market segment for large luxury sedans, Escala is a potential addition to our existing product plan,” de Nysschen said.

 

The car rides on the same rear-wheel-drive platform that underpins the current CT6 sedan. It’s powered by a prototype 4.2-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 that Cadillac is currently developing for production use in the future.

Did some gardening this evening after work. 'bout 20 fill-ups distributed all over the garden. :sozzled:

"It's just a car, man"

I wonder if that kühlergrill with vertical slats will make it into production.

The Ocean Drive concept car looked so production-ready, goddamnit, Benz. :fuming:
