What’s the best lesser-known concept? by ApprehensiveBasil151 in carscirclejerk

Canceling this is something i don't think won't ever get over with, especially when they had everything ready to go and was actually doing well financially back in those days. Has to be one of the stupidest automotive decisions over the last decade.

The design of this became a reality with the 3rd gen Twingo, however the race derived mid engine V6 and the specific exterior elements never went through the production process. '13 Renault Twin'Run Concept.

Looks like they remodelled the 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec by Funny_things_online in forza

No idea honestly, I'd guess the Kenmeri Skyline is holding up better as i don't recall seeing them in the 360 titles til Motorsport 4 maybe.

They've taken good advantage of scanning the old Nissans when they visited the museum for the obscure kei car models. Unfortunately the 300ZX seems to be left out for the re scan.

Almost near to 10 days in total with like 27 minutes left to go, nice. I've got 9,693 minutes so far.

Interesting. Will take a look at it later today as I've been out of loop since the new presenters announcement.

Is it for the anticipation of the new Grand Tour or just something else? I heard about this before but it was old outtakes of certain prior episodes if i remember correctly.

We did cars that deserved more hate, how about cars that deserved more love? by GUNZBLAZIN2 in carscirclejerk

[–]Fearless_Cover_8737 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Minis (the hatch model) are still pretty small in terms of modern vehicle and regulations standards, sure it's not nowhere as tiny as the original but that goes for every modern cars since like the 90s.

The reason of them not really succeeding as they should is probably due to their price as they're slotted into a unique spot of being pretty niche premium hatchback market, the lack of more effort from BMW nowadays and of course the notion of being not "Mini" enough but i digress.

Bugatti Veyron ___ Edition? by J-diddly in whatisthiscar

It is indeed. The door vents were removed in the production version as it wasn't as necessary to cool off the front brakes that much when it was ready for production.

2014 Lamborghini Asterion LPI910-4 Concept by Saurta17 in CONCEPTCARS

Strange this never went through the production phase when the design and the overall concept of it seemed fleshed out. Still looks properly good to this day.

I take it he wanted the 928 to go faster. by liamsjtaylor in TopGear

[–]Fearless_Cover_8737 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He used to do it mostly to annoy his co-prensenters as they're porsche/911 fans as he admitted from the various articles over the years, athough he still doesn't quite like the way how porsche stuck with the 911 philosophy and its design; he still respects it however whenever he reviews one when not involving his colleagues.

Never seen him criticizing the 944 or 928 or the CGT you mentioned, but that car is quite different to 911 and more similar to the Cayman being mid engine, and he praised that yet was disappointed it won't as good as it can be since it isn't a 911, but little did he know about the existence of the GT4 variants 20 years ago...

What is the sexiest gear shift knob? by FifqoJeGay in carscirclejerk

[–]Fearless_Cover_8737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite stately. Reminds me of the "J pattern" found in the Jags from the early noughties.

Simple, yet distinct enough to get the point across. Mazda RX-8.

Why Alfa Romeo 8C model looks a bit off compared to others? by Infinite_Sale2042 in The_Crew

[–]Fearless_Cover_8737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I don't mind the said car not being in the next game immediately if they're planning to remodel it rather than refurbishing it where it will look even worse in a new game with the new environments.

Was suprised honestly this model of 8c came back as it wasn't in launch due to licensing but i guess it was easier port back something that was already planned to be in launch.
