An interesting review of the Porsche GT3 from a non-car guy’s perspective. (Found this on one of my firearm channels). It’s a PDK version so to me it’s a bit of a let down, but still found it entertaining. He’s got a good way with words.

That’s what Top Gear is for or i guess Grand Tour. It’s a different perspective review, as stated in my OP. Have you already forgotten what a GT3 sounds like, do I need to call in the Foo to remind you?

If Ferrari made this during the 812 Model year, it would easily go down as one of the sexiest modern day Ferrari’s.

Looks like a TVR.

Looks like a TVR.

I mean I guess a little in the front

But really this is what they are going for here. The 1962 250 GTO, which was not only one of the most iconic Ferrari’s ever built, but set the auction record at $48.4 Million.

I was being a little cheeky, But i meant a Cerbera speed 6.

Also, i just noticed that they used Ford Cortina tail lights in 2 TVR models.


Bonus points if you can match TVR to Cortina. .

Europe always gets all of the cool stuff (even if cool in this context means a minivan)

I'd take one of those over having to do my own build of a sprinter in a heartbeat

Speaking of Top Gear, an oldie but found new enjoyment out of it with my new interest of Subaru. It proved a very reliable choice for Richard, the BMW or Volvo not so much.

was the other car even AWD?

Do you mean Real AWD or “simulated” AWD? Simulated being FWD with a tiny drive shaft to the rear wheels. I don’t know.

I thought those are just purely FWD on the Volvo and RWD on the BMW (quick browse through clip)

well then if that’s the case my comment still stands, horrible choices of cars. But still to my point, I’ve seen the other kind of AWD get stuck in far less bad road conditions, because once the front wheels are stuck, you’re as beached as Free Willy. Haldex and Subaru Symmetrical AWD are the some of the two best options you want in dedicated AWD. Well, besides having the option of 4 wheel drive

It looks like an Infiniti G/Nissan 350 mated with a BRZ

What model is it? G80? I don’t follow Genesis enough to tell from a picture.

G90
