i wonder what will be left of that spoiler once that turbo gets to temperature...

Assuming it's a used race car, I'd assume they put a blanket around the turbine side. Even some no thrills aluminum heat shields will knock the temps down to under 300F
 
I lol'd at the Alfa's mileage... why do they even bother displaying it?
 
Why do people insist on doing this to a 951, I can understand a SBC in a base 944. You get the power and mostly retain the handling. Come on though a 951!

Is the Alfa's bumper again a shade lighter than the rest of the car?
 
That's just a Panamera. I don't like the humpback style where you start coupe at the front and end in station wagon.

Lamborghini Espada sneers at your prejudice. It's true that it doesn't work for some cars; the Volvo P1800ES is a travesty.
 
that Maser doesn't belong in this thread. It's nor pretty nor awesome...

I do get that some fast estates do work, that one doesn't.

Wrong!

The Espada looks good, though. It's not beautiful, but it's a brute like the 68-69 Dodge Chargers.

Surely even T-Pain or the Sultan of Brunei would think that Veyron is overdoing it slightly.

Now, I hate diesel cars, I think they are slow, unresponsive and dull. BUT I think the Mercedes OM606 engine deserves a mention in the awesome thread in the form of this video:
