Re: a 911 Turbo-priced Gullwing Mercedes FTF - I think you mean "PANZER," at least for the German sourced cars of this type. A gun turret wouldn't look out of place on some of these cars. Agreed, its a good Yakuza car. Or for third world dictators, when presented with bullet proof glass...

Re: a 911 Turbo-priced Gullwing Mercedes That doesn't look like a garoupa at all. In fact it doesn't look too bad, it reminds me of a well cut Hugo Boss suit. I thought you might have been referring to the just superceded S class, a barge of a car that I never found especially...

Ever wondered how our Cantonese speaking friends in HK review cars? Well, you start with a laat cheh like an M3. This phoenix yellow example has SMG. Then you find a photogenic laat mui to drive the car and to accompany the host. Not quite Top Gear in format, but entertaining...

Re: a 911 Turbo-priced Gullwing Mercedes Good question - why the 911 turbo again? if I was Porsche, I'd be feeling more than a little paranoid - they are all out to get me. I think the Audi R8 was benchmarked against the 911 turbo. The Nissan GT-R was definitely benchmarked against this car...

Re: a 911 Turbo-priced Gullwing Mercedes Benz or not, this mid-engined 2 door is a great looking car. It harks back to the days when MB designs were simpler and less gimmicky. I agree that some recent MB designs like the unpalatable 'garoupa' were below par compared to previous efforts...

Re: 2.0L valvetronic pushing 170hp? Actually, BMW has pooh poohed a few other things as well, such as turbocharging to get meaningful hp gains. "We'll stick with high revs," some BMW big wig said. Not long after that, the 335i was released, with not one but 2 turbochargers.

Re: 2.0L valvetronic pushing 170hp? Just 5 words spell 170 bhp in a 320i - World Touring Car homologation special. They are pretty rare cars. Don't know whether any of them have ended up in Singapore. BMW 3-Series | evo Car Reviews | Car Reviews | evo

Re: Special Delivery From Lamborghini With all those chiseled facets and matt black finish, the Revention reminds me of one of these. The F-117 Nighthawk, for those who need reminding.

Re: FS: motoring icon 1985 Audi Quattro Turbo Coupe How could you, fox? It must be selling your wife ... no, let me rephrase that, it must be like trading in your mistress. C'mon, guys. Here's your chance to own the "ur," the original. The car that WRXs and other road going 4WDs should bow...

Re: Anyone know who is going to own this!!! Do my eyes deceive me or has the wheelbase been stretched over a standard 911?

Too much talk about cars. Here's something to cheer you up on the weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4gK3RRtCHw

Re: Whose Gallardo is this? FTF - I think you are probably right. I suspect they are crumple units with aluminium impact absorbers. And I also think you are right about their positioning on either side of the transaxle housing. Google an image of the Gallardo engine and you will see that the...

Re: staggered or square for the track? Shaun - I should know better than pick an argument with you about a technical issue, but surely, for any car, there must come a point where the minuses of extra unsprung weight, extra rotational inertia, extra rolling resistance, etc outweigh the...

Re: Whose Gallardo is this? Dunno .... Most exhaust expansion chambers are tubular in shape. This pair looks like 2 square boxes. The pics I've googled of the Gallardo exhaust show a single tubular expansion chamber with 2 exit pipes.

Re: How to overturn a 740i under 5mph I know ... she got out of the upturned car, dusted herself, collected her handbag, and walked away as if nothing had happened! She probably had plenty of practice parking her car this way.

Re: Whose Gallardo is this? Anybody know what these 2 bumps are? The squarish, metallic coloured objects just behind the rear bumper.

Re: How to overturn a 740i under 5mph We have equality of the sexes nowadays. Young (male) hoons don't have a monopoly on idiocy. Middle aged women do it just as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RMLt28n0-M

Re: staggered or square for the track? Danng – I think it is not just a matter of front or rear drive. You also have to look at the weight distribution of the car. In my opinion, most Bimmers are better off with the same size tyres all round. With their trademark 50 – 50 weight distribution...

What do you think it takes to create a motoring icon these days? A performance advantage that blows away all contemporary rivals? A new whiz bang automotive technology that leaves motoring hacks spluttering for words? Or perhaps a seductive body shape that is permanently imprinted into...

Re: Tribute to Montoya FTF - No, that wasn't that incident I was thinking of. I wasn't even aware of the one you showed. Looks like Montoya has a gift for brake testing on the fly. The incident I was thinking of was this one. I think it was Schumacher who did the brake test this time. A...
