  1. I forgot it was April fools for a second :)

  2. 'Egg needs to redo the test with a higher grip surface. That exact car should be able to knock at least 3 seconds off its own time.

  3. This car tuned to 750hp would absolutely epic.

  4. Jeez that’s simplistic. 🤦‍♂️ how are people going to get around freely and in a manner that suits them?

  5. I assume the maximum potential acceleration of the S/C S2000 means it could actually hit in around 5s?

  6. Fk off with your stupidity and watch the barbie dolls you prefer.

  7. Tesla has one "forward" gear, Rimac claims to have three. Could you please explain the engineering behind that and differences between the two cars? :) The P100D tops out at about 150mph and accelerates relatively slowly above 70mph, but the Rimac accelerates faster even at high speed and can run on to about 220mph.

  8. That 620 mile is based on predominantly slow driving. The real world cruising range at 70-80mph will be closer to 400 miles, which is still ok.

  9. Rollout just sums stoopid America up.

  10. I turn my Bmw 320D off in traffic if I think I’m going to be stationary for at least 30s. Haven’t had a problem yet and it starts on the button every time. My choice, my fuel bill, my car.

  11. Very simplistic description of turbocharged delivery… many turbo charged engines have multiple turbos which spool at different points in the rev range and negate turbo lag. My diesel has been remapped so the turbo spoils earlier and power delivery is more instantaneous and linear.

  12. William Jenssen kornigsegg is Swedish and Sweden is in the EU so while your explanation makes sense it doesn’t account for the ‘Egg, Ferrari, Lamborghini question. All these companies are from EU countries.

  13. VinBadaBing you're sticking to your Honda because you couldn't even afford the wheels of a car in this price bracket.

  14. EVs are a joke and are never going to replace ICE on a like for like user experience basis. Imagine taking 45 minutes to fill your tank with gas/petrol or diesel just so you can drive 200 miles just to do it all over again 🤦‍♂️

  15. My semi makes more sense.

  16. The biggest problem with electric cars? The child slaves being used to mine lithium. Take a bow EV nuts.

  17. Why should I spend $$$$ on an EV when I already own a decent diesel car outright? I have nowhere at home to charge an EV either. My car will do over 750 miles on tank of diesel. What's your best EV range huh? almost 500 miles less. pffft

  18. excited about a limited or non production coupe that if released won't even make a splash. OK>

  19. Charging to 100% does not ruin the battery ............... Maybe if you do it every single day for two years.......

  20. 😂 I love your drawing of the cybertruck.

  21. Geo G. I saw video years ago of a rotary being bench tested to destruction. It got to around 18000 rpm before it went bang.

  22. We’ve been through this last week 😂

  23. "Don't floor it" isn't always applicable so do better research. many high performance engines have been run in prior to completion of the car in the factory. All these fools driving around at a max of 4000rpm in a Nissan GTR or Audi R8 don't realise their cars engine has already been ragged on a test bench and run at max rpm already. GTR's are also driven on obstacle courses totest brakes and suspension and to check for rattles etc. Mclarens are run in from factory and an actually be driven hard right from new, which has been proven.

  24. Did you know that Assumption is the mother of all fk ups? point being that assuming your autopilot has "seen" an obstacle could be deadly...

  25. Some cars with automatic transmissions launch in 2nd gear. It is ok to to take off in 2nd. That's all.

  26. Duck 🦆 is tasty but not yet sharpest tool. 😂

  27. If EVs sell in their tens of millions they’ll be charging in their millions at the same time. The USA is a failing country and will only get worse as far as infrastructure goes. It’s a 3rd world country that hasn’t realised it yet.

  28. Diesel FTW.
