An entire YEARS production supply of a supercar like a Ferrari is a tenth of the Toyota's produced IN A DAY. On top of this a Ferrari is driven on average 1000-3000 miles a year, compared to a regular cars 8000-12000 miles

Depends on the charging stations
Most are diesel powered

But if you buy an ev and sell it to buy a new ev after a year or three then you produce more co2 than someone daily driving a v10 supercar
mental lion
Anyways is the 458 italia worse than the 458?

Most are diesel powered
Even if they still produce zero direct emissions and less indirect emissions than any normal petrol car
The downside of ev's are that they take a lot of resources to produce
mental lion
The downside of ev's are that they take a lot of resources to produce
True
My only problem eith them other than they’re microwaves
Is the charging times
Atleast 30mins

They also produce less brake dust because if you use an ev correctly you don't need the disc brakes to stop

Atleast 30mins
30 minutes is quick, a decade ago it was nowhere near that

30 minutes is quick, a decade ago it was nowhere near that
Pumping gas takes 1 min
Id only take an ev over like compact cars
Or small engine cars
drowsy folio
honestly
regardless of the charging infrastructure being abysmal currently
i wouldn't mind an EV
i have plans to make one anyway, it's the only way we'll get past future classic cars being scrapped
it could introduce us to a new retro scene
EV Mk2 Golf, EV Trueno, EV Foxbody etc

i mean it won't be anytime soon lmao
you can't just go and buy a cell assembly and motors like you can an ICE
then there's the engineering and due diligence you gotta do
and the fabrication work, the aesthetics etc

Anyways is the 458 italia worse than the 458?
They are one in the same
As in "458" and "458 Italia" are the same car, there is no difference or distinction
mental lion
They are one in the same
The italia is significantly cheaper
For the same year
And similar mileage
jagged sentinel
Can you show me what site makes the distinction?
mental lion
Alr
jagged sentinel
"Italia" is just a word tacked onto the numerical designation, like "berlinetta" or "superfast"
The Italia isn't the only 458 model, but this is also true of the F12 Berlinetta and the 812 Superfast
jagged sentinel
It says Italia in the details of both listings
jagged sentinel
Still doesn't mean there is a distinction
jagged sentinel
Yes
mental lion
jagged sentinel
Every Italia is a 458 but not every 458 has Italia in the name
jagged sentinel
Redundancy or just poor design
mental lion
Yea
jagged sentinel
Most likely the latter
jagged sentinel
Every Italia is a 458 but not every 458 has Italia in the name
The other model being the 458 Speciale
jagged sentinel
And looks different at a glance
mental lion
Barely different

From the front? That's debatable

You'd be correct

What’s that mean
I'll explain
Basically, in Hot Wheels there are TH (Treasure Hunts) and STH (Super Treasure Hunts), THs are basically a car which can be considered rare, there's one in every case, so they're more common than STH. Though an STHs has a normal version which isn't special at all. A STH will have rubber tires, Spectraflame paint, a TH symbol on the car (A normal TH has a circular flame symbol), and a golden flame behind the car on the card. STHs have a 1 in 12 chance of being in a case. 72 cars per case would make it a 1 in 864 chance to find one.

it has too much power to not come on good tires

Almost 1100hp on rwd
but a good takeaway if that some GT2RS owners complained how that car cooked the cup 2R after 1 nord lap

can we call it a supercar now
It entered supercar territory with the C7 Z06, arguably the C6 ZR1

They should’ve stolen the GT3RS MR prototype wing and slapped it on there
jagged sentinel
Do y'all think it can get in the same ballpark of times as the GT3RS, if not faster
sage roost
Well it’s about checks notes 500hp more than the 3RS
But the 3RS makes more downforce
dire shard
the gt3rs also makes like 300kg more downforce
sage roost
I think it’ll easily sub 7

To be honest I think the C8 Z06 is on the level of the GT3

I think the GTD is more on the level of the GT3RS tbh

Not officially confirmed yet though

@mental lion In Singapore you can't own a car without a special certificate from the government and it goes up and down like the stock market
Sometimes it is $20,000 and sometimes it is over $100,000
Then in top of that vehicles can be taxed 60%-250%
So a base 4 cylinder e class 220 costs as much as a decent used Huracan

Yea i just checked their prices they go for more than i expected but oh well
The 959 goes for what. Millions?
They just dont look like they’re worth what they’re worth for some reason
But still great cars
dire shard
depends on what you value
from a driving and ownership perspective, as i understand the 959 actually sucks ass
it was the fastest production car of its time yet was designed as an off-roader
from the perspective of appreciating the history of automobiles however, the 959 was like the original porsche supercar
and of course, from a rarity and collector perspective, there's very few of them
porsche poured a ton of research into its development, it's so overengineered
mental lion
Sure its a great car but looking at other opinions for the same price it definitely lacks a bit
dire shard
you don't place as much value in the car's significance then, that's fine
the car definitely is not worth its price, but i would not ever compare it to another car and say "it's lacking" - that's kind of missing the whole point of its value

the price of the certificate of entitlement has pretty much done that
in fact, the pain in the ass in bidding for such a competitive right + price of the certificate of entitlement + the price of the cars + a competent public transport system + singapore being so damn small there's nowhere you can even drive to is a large part of why only 1/3 of the households in singapore own a car
they don't forbid you from buying a car, they just make it such a major time and financial pain + offer an extremely good and cheap alternative in the form of decent public transport that nobody bothers
it's all part of the plan: high cost of entry, certificate of entitlement only allows you to drive your car for ten years before you have to bid for another one, so that they can get cars off the road and thus reduce traffic and pollution in the incredibly small area

it's a city-state of not needing stuff
you don't need a car, so cars are an expensive luxury
singapore has among the lowest crime rates in the entire world and also has a quite a distinct lack of space for wildlife hunting, so firearms do not have self-defence nor sporting purpose
food is very inexpensive and very delicious, i believe something like 85% of the population owns housing despite how small the place is - quality of life in singapore is extremely good, as i understand it
perhaps with your world view, if owning a car and a gun is a right and not a privilege to you then you could probably not bear to live there... but on paper, i think this almost sounds like a utopia
