Nissan 240SX May Return as a GT86 Rival (Dec 01, 2012) Its only the US market that had the 2.4NA engine and the "240sx" name, the rest of the world had the real stuff! 200sx with a 1.8 turbo for the '88 gen, and 2.0 turbo from the s14 and out. The jdm had 180sx for the '88 as its model name
McLaren's Radical 12C Can-Am Edition Concept (Aug 16, 2012) Aha, but didn't they have a bi turbo performance engine as well? Or was that AMG's V12?
McLaren's Radical 12C Can-Am Edition Concept (Aug 16, 2012) @ Kevin, I know, that's why I said "usually". I know that AMG and Audi are fans of the Bi Turbo, but I do not know which kind of setup they use
McLaren's Radical 12C Can-Am Edition Concept (Aug 15, 2012) where a twin turbo setup would kick in at 4-4500rpm's giving you no benefits of the turbo until you reach that rpm, it could also be quite violent if you run high boost. In a Bi Turbo you don't get that, there are setups that spool up at 14-1500 rpms
McLaren's Radical 12C Can-Am Edition Concept (Aug 15, 2012) Bi turbo is usually set up so that 1 small turbo spools up quick at low rpms and a second, larger turbo, takes over when there is enough exhaust flow for it to spool up.It gives a much smoother powerband over a twin turbo where both spools up at once
McLaren's Radical 12C Can-Am Edition Concept (Aug 15, 2012) @shift knob; you are onto something, but I do believe it's the other way around. Twin being 2x equal sized chargers.
Least Boring Family Cars: Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon (Aug 03, 2012) Nice interior! Nice to see some different vent placement!
ABT Tunes Volkswagen Beetle TDI (Aug 03, 2012) It does remind you of a Porsche though
Grand Cherokee Retakes the Elk Test (Aug 02, 2012) Not very safe, but I bet a lot of crazy Arabs are lining up to buy this...
Smaller Engines for Future Astons? (Jul 17, 2012) This is perfection!
Rompetrol Dispatches French Maids to Clean your Engine (Jul 16, 2012) Rompetrol... In Norwegian that's one of those undeveloped fro things that live in ponds, those with a frog face and a tail... Or "Ass-Troll" directly translated...
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Ripped in Half in Russia (Jul 16, 2012) He used to have _A_ Ferrari, now he has two!
Hamann Gives Range Rover Evoque a Shiny Wide Body (Jul 16, 2012) The front was a bit to busy with all the vents and extra holes for my taste, the sides were good though!
Lexus LF-LC on Track for Development (Jul 16, 2012) @Spencer; i agree! Can't wrap my mind around why they ALWAYS show you how awesome it COULD look, only to stuff it with something existing in another trim... They obviously know how to make this, why the h*** not stick with it!?
Lexus LF-LC on Track for Development (Jul 16, 2012) PLEASE make this!
Lexus LF-LC on Track for Development (Jul 16, 2012) The first time I saw this I could not bring myself to like the front, but that has changed! This car is beautiful and daring! Bold move with a design like that, but damn they pulled it of!
Lexus LF-LC on Track for Development (Jul 16, 2012) The entire car is a masterpiece! Hope they won't change to much design wise on it (although unlikely). And I love the stance and wheel clearance of this thing!
Aston Reveals V12 Vantage Roadster (Jul 11, 2012) I wonder how this would look if everything was painted white... The vents, splitter, rear bumper and carbon trims and so on...
5 Hybrid Supercars of the Future (Jul 10, 2012) I'm not sure if several thousand nm of torque at any instant could be called boring...
Lamborghini Opens New Prototype Development Center (Jul 09, 2012) Ooo, future dictator on the right!
Wald Gives the Prius an Attitude (Jul 07, 2012) My colleague has a '10 Prius, thing is, if you drive this like you would any other car, or at 60mph (freeway) +, gas mileage is far from impressive. If you have this in a urban short distance 30mph max environment on the other hand...
Thousand-Horsepower Mustangs Roar in Holland (Jul 07, 2012) The one with the noisy screw probably is high up there too, but IMO the other sounds a bit too tame to claim 1k+ hp. But hey, I'm no expert or have no proof, might be nos involved too. 2 revs and sounds right, the others seemed like civics compared
Thousand-Horsepower Mustangs Roar in Holland (Jul 07, 2012) @Stephen K all i am saying is I've been around quite a few 1k + hp 6/8 and 10 cylinder engines and from my experience when you get to those figures they usually step up a notch in response. As I said, the red one sounds like a beast ->
Thousand-Horsepower Mustangs Roar in Holland (Jul 07, 2012) I was not referring to the loudness of the exhaust in my previous statement, but rather the way the engine revs...
Thousand-Horsepower Mustangs Roar in Holland (Jul 07, 2012) Have to agree with Jacob. That did not sound like 1000hp v8's... The sticker bombed one did come close though...
Wald Gives the Prius an Attitude (Jul 06, 2012) Well, it's a improvement over the original, it's not bad looking at all... But it's still a god damned Prius!
Saleen S7 Gets Some New Rims (Jul 04, 2012) @Tony: couldn't agree more!
Porsche 911 Evolution: Type 993 (Jul 04, 2012) I don't know much about Porsche, but sounds to me like the same way as with some airplane engines and scooters... Air passing fins on cylinders and other crucial parts... But what do I know...
Japanese Tuner Icons: Nissan Skyline GT-R (Jun 30, 2012) Every single performance part or copy other people's setups from various forums... If you know how to drive this thing, not a lot can keep up when the twisty stuff starts... If you MUST modify, shed weight / better tires IMO
Japanese Tuner Icons: Nissan Skyline GT-R (Jun 30, 2012) The R35 is plenty quick and agile in FM4. You just need a decent steering wheel setup and know how to drive (in FM4) and at least a understanding of what a GTR is compared to traditional 4WD car. Give the stock setup a while before you "expertly" buy
Japanese Tuner Icons: Nissan Skyline GT-R (Jun 30, 2012) The sound of this car is amazing!
SleeperBuzz: Koenigsegg CCX Guts Placed in a Ford Granada (Jun 20, 2012) @Cody: I'm not so sure they would, Insurance here is invalid on racetracks, so the driver would have to take full financial responsibility. I know he is rich, but I doubt he is THAT rich. Besides, he doesn't have a 'egg anymore either...
SleeperBuzz: Koenigsegg CCX Guts Placed in a Ford Granada (Jun 19, 2012) He might have bought the engine from sharif him self or from the insurance company... But then again, I only remember that Tommy's car was a 'egg, not if it was a CCX or any other model...
SleeperBuzz: Koenigsegg CCX Guts Placed in a Ford Granada (Jun 19, 2012) It might come from a wrecked 'egg a few years back. Tommy Sharif bought one (norway's only I think?) and wrecked it at Rudskogen Raceway a few weeks later. I remember the 'egg people where ashamed of his driving "skills"
Unique of the Week: 2001 Ultima GTR (Jun 16, 2012) wouldn't you like to see Enzo Ferrari run around Top Gear's test track with the Stig strapped to his back ?
2012 Ludwigsburg Concours - Retro Classics meets Barock (Jun 16, 2012) But seriously, what is this?
2012 Ludwigsburg Concours - Retro Classics meets Barock (Jun 16, 2012) Makes me think of 'finding nemo' looking at that front...
Record Auction Sales: 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe (Jun 14, 2012) Imagine drifting something like this...
MINI Rocketman Concept is Given a New Look (Jun 14, 2012) @ben; yes it does... I think I see "Berlin" there too
MINI Rocketman Concept is Given a New Look (Jun 14, 2012) Like a mini should be! SMALL! The new mini is way to large...
2015 Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG Spotted Testing in Fields of Green (Jun 12, 2012) @Avery, they are loosing out on a lot of money by not having a small sports car in the same price segment as the Porsche 911. IMO they will be competing for customers based on size and price, not necessarily track performance
Toyota’s TS030 Hybrid Racers Test at 4th and 5th Place at Le Mans (Jun 05, 2012) If this is a rip off, what's you're take on the F1 cars?
Toyota’s TS030 Hybrid Racers Test at 4th and 5th Place at Le Mans (Jun 05, 2012) I read and re-read... Twice! And I'm lost after "2..."
Nissan Releases Footage of DeltaWing Testing at Le Mans (Jun 05, 2012) Looks like its ready for the salt flats! Love this weird creation!
Lorinser Build 800hp Mercedes-Benz S-Class (Jun 05, 2012) Very few cars can pull off a 'crap brown' paint job... IMO this is not one of them...
Lamborghini Hoonage - Two Aventadors Get Sideways in a Garage (Jun 05, 2012) I would take the jet fighter over the lambo... Hehe

Here’s Your Weekly News Roundup: May 27th - June 2nd (Jun 02, 2012) @ Dylan: what about the Rimac thingy? Sounds pretty brutal at least...
Here’s Your Weekly News Roundup: May 27th - June 2nd (Jun 02, 2012) German precision craftsmanship and quality under Chinese owners? Uh-oh... (although this particular was ugly as f**k!)
Prior Design Prepares a New Aero Kit for the Ford Mustang C5 (Jun 02, 2012) Looks ok to me... Have to admit those lights seem a bit off. But I think they could grow on me
Mustang Boss 302 Driven by Lottery Winner Crashed (Jun 02, 2012) Lol @ Phillip... Seems like you hurt somebody with that one...
Top Highlights from the RM Monaco Auction (Jun 02, 2012) Give me! Please!!!
Pony Car Icons, Part 5: Mercury Cougar (Jun 02, 2012) Hey, that's in Norway! Who would have thought that in a report on American muscle icons...
Volkswagen Scirocco GTS Debuts at AMI Leipzig After 30-Year Hiatus (Jun 02, 2012) There are plenty of sciroccos on the road here, and I have to say that pictures like this does not do the car justice, especially the rear... The car appears to be much lower and wider in real life...
BMW M3 and M5 M Performance Editions Released in Full (May 31, 2012) A mere 2012 520d with all extras is close to $200k in Norway...
Spied: Volvo S60 on the Road (May 27, 2012) A Volvo rivaling anything Benz or BMW is simply never going to happen. Two completely different leagues! Sure it might be as fast, or even faster, but it is like comparing a lotus super 7 to a Aventador...
BabesBuzz: Mercedes SL65 AMG-Based Custom Carlsson C25 (May 24, 2012) How small is this woman??? Geez, this car isn't THAT big, and her arm barely covers the headlamp... Dayuuum
Take Your Pick: 2013 NASCAR Toyota Camry or Ford Fusion (May 24, 2012) That grille screams Aston Martin... Love the looks of this car!
Details About Next-Generation Subaru WRX Beginning to Unravel (May 23, 2012) It now comes pre-riced!
Details About Next-Generation Subaru WRX Beginning to Unravel (May 23, 2012) I miss the 22B... Glory days of the scooby... From there and out, all downhill :(
Rare Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Makes Record £1.23m in Auction (May 23, 2012) Look at those sexy carbs... This engine bay looks better than most modern plastic covered crap! That head cover... Yum
Rare Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Makes Record £1.23m in Auction (May 23, 2012) This is what a car should look like... I would do anything for this car
Rare Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Makes Record £1.23m in Auction (May 23, 2012) Yes please... Look at those lines, this is amazing even for today's standard!
Spied: Skoda Rapid at the Nurburgring (May 23, 2012) This car should have been small, fast and agile, like the original škoda rapid... My step dad had one of those back in the day... 140hp engine in the back, rear wheel drive an all glass fiber coupe body. That thin did good in rally back in the day...
Hear Steven Tyler’s Hennessey Venom GT Spyder Roar on the Dyno (May 22, 2012) Great engine, ugly car
Take Your Pick: Ferrari F12berlinetta Rendering Contest by L4P and Autemo (May 21, 2012) That front now looks like a celica or 370z... Wtf
Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG by Sundern Design-World (May 19, 2012) I wonder what the tuners are smoking... "how do we make a 200k luxury rocket better?" NOT like this! The masterpiece is ruined, and I wish for instant and eternally bankruptcy for all persons involved in this project, both professional and personal!
2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Warming Up (May 19, 2012) Wish I could see this without the roof rails. A friend of mine removed his on a 07 E wagon and the effect was amazing! The car looks so much wider and lower and I couldn't figure out why until he pointed out the removal of those rails
2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Warming Up (May 19, 2012) Can't wait for this to surface! From the looks of it so far I can't find any obvious dislikes on my part. Really excited on the turnout of head and tail lamps and the interior!
2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Warming Up (May 19, 2012) Good to see they removed that grumpy lower lip looking thing of a rear bumper they had on the 2012
2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Warming Up (May 19, 2012) And why would it look like a C class if it had single lamps? Does the 3 series BMW look like the 5 series? I really think Mercedes has enough skilled designers and engineers to differentiate C and E class even though they both use single lamp configs
2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Warming Up (May 19, 2012) If you read the article it clearly states that Mercedes Benz are going for a single headlamp design for the 2013 facelift of the E class
2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Warming Up (May 19, 2012) Obviously not you...
2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Warming Up (May 19, 2012) Thank god they are moving away from the dual headlamp setup. It looked great on the previous gen E class, but the current one is not suitable IMO
600hp Mercedes C63 AMG Wagon by Edo Competition (May 19, 2012) Smoked rear lights for a smokin rear end... :)
The Need for Speed: The World's Fastest Police Cars (May 18, 2012) The passat as your everyday cop car. Vito's and Sprinters as transport both uniformed and undercover, ML as command units and G wagons as special forces. There's also the occasional Ford Econoline for larger operations
The Need for Speed: The World's Fastest Police Cars (May 18, 2012) In Norway they use Mercedes E class, ML, G Wagon and Vito, VW Passat, Volvo V70 (last gen) S60's (last gen) and S80's (also last gen) Volvo's are being phased out while E class Benz serve as highway / undercover in most districts and together with
Gaudy Gold-Painted Lamborghini Gallardo Caught in China (May 18, 2012) Major overcompensation!
Gaudy Gold-Painted Lamborghini Gallardo Caught in China (May 18, 2012) Although tasteless and ugly, still an amazing job considering its paint and not wrap...
BMW M3 Electric by EV West to Tackle Pikes Peak (May 18, 2012) Imagine the ridiculous burnouts you could do in something like that... 1 gear and 700ft?
Gazoo Racing Prepares a Twin-Charged Toyota GT86 Racer (May 17, 2012) Anyone else get a hint of Nissan 100 NX when looking at that front? Btw, bad fit on those lamps / bumper...
Aston Martin Doesn’t Want to Be Left Out; Lagonda SUV Still Alive (May 17, 2012) Oh come on! Please AM, don't make those stupid SUV's! Where is your honor and racing pedigree in something like this?! You always made drop dead gorgeous and fast (-cygnet) sports and gt cars, why ruin your lineup and history with something like this
Nissan Juke-R to be Limited Production, Built-to-Order and Priced at $590,000 (May 10, 2012) Make it 8-900 whp and it might be interesting...
Latest 2015 Mustang Rendering is Considered Fairly Close (May 08, 2012) @Alex, yes, that is exactly what they mean :)
Ferrari-Fighting Porsche 960 Supercar to be a Four-Door Coupe? (May 08, 2012) I really liked this. It's still a porsche but with something fresh and new for once! Let's just hope it actually goes from paper to metal...
Ferrari-Fighting Porsche 960 Supercar to be a Four-Door Coupe? (May 07, 2012) @Chris. Couldn't agree more!
2014 BMW M4 Coupe Speculatively Rendered (May 05, 2012) I like this a lot! There is something about this that makes me think of the i8, and I like it!
Kia Launches All-New K9 Flagship Sedan in Korea (May 05, 2012) Beautiful looking car! Can't wait for this to hit the showrooms! Congratulations Kia
Report: Range Rover Evoque Sport in the Works (May 05, 2012) Can't go Offroad? I have seen tests and articles, even top gear that proves other ways! Sure it's no Discovery, but it has surprisingly good Offroad characteristics and abilities...
Report: Range Rover Evoque Sport in the Works (May 05, 2012) It did not work for Nissan, but who is to say it won't work for Land Rover? I know it's a SUV and all, but the use of an SUV is not the same it was 10 years ago. Sure it has Offroad capabilities, but how many actually use their Evoque Offroad anyway?
Unearthed: 1970 Porsche 914 (May 05, 2012) Hehe, looking at the proportions of this car, you could almost just flip the cabin around and have yourself a FF Porsche...
Singapore Plays Host to Some Mean Lamborghinis (May 05, 2012) They are "ghosts" because the photographer used a long shutter speed setting on his/her camera since the lighting conditions are poor.

Gorgeous Gallery of Koenigsegg Agera R at GranTurismo Nurburgring 2012 (May 04, 2012) Looks like some inspiration is taken from the cockpits of Formula offshore boats...
