How do you follow up the McLaren F1 and Mercedes SLR? With this

[Sticky]

pile of crap:





Way to go Gordon Murray, quite the beast. At least you finally made a car I can afford.

The T.25 external dimensions create the opportunity to:

* park at 90 degrees to the curb, offering real consumer benefits,
* park up to 3 cars in one parallel parking space – giving rise to lower parking charges.
increase traffic flow,
* explore the possibility of 2 vehicles travelling and overtaking in one conventional lane. * Combining this with the car length has the potential to triple lane usage at peak times.
* reduce the environmental impact of vehicle manufacture (ie: lower material content etc) and day-to-day operation.

The ultra lightweight by design (approximately 550kg) means that:

* component life is increased
* reduced energy is required to power vehicle, giving rise to higher fuel efficiency (mpg/electric battery range).
* a competitive power to weight ratio is achieved

This vehicle means that:

* we lose all respect for Gordon Murray
* automotive enthusiasts may be bored to death
* Gordon Murray will be referred to as the guy who used to make cars guys want

I think the main question is, will it blend?

Tough one... your average blender has more power.

I love this forum!




hahaha "Will it blend?". Perfect.


It probably would considering the other objects that have been blended..............


But seriously, this "car" blows.

Someone tell MINI to build a stripped out Cooper S with a turbo S1000RR engine sitting over the rear axle.......

Mini Cooper GTS?

Is the mini fun to drive? Does it feel "girly" to drive at all?

I'm really thinking I may want that mini coupe when it comes out.

Doesn't feelngirly, but it def looksnsoft, but have seen cool ones, blacked out ect...

Car has great feedback, prob best fwd car...prob is hers is automatic and convertible but still tons of fun, handles great, steering is heavy which like, cons are torque steer, lacks power.....a manual w power mods would be really fun, and make it rwd! Also have re-11 tires on, make it grip

I'm not sure, I think they are only accepting monopoly money anyway.

Hahah, I'm sure we could find better use for our monopoly money.

Or apparently just give it 40lbs of boost and call it a day.

How does his stuff keep getting worse?

I'd rather have fast cars than save blue whales.

[DarkPhantom]

Great, what I've always wanted, a trash can on wheels that I can drive!

It's not like any of his cars ever sold enough to even have a measurable impact on the environment.
