It always amaze me the fact I totally love WRC's pre-event testing but I've never managed to attend one, both because I never know the places/days of these tests in advance and because they generally take place too far away from where I live. Since I learned that the final round of the 2021 World Rally Championship would be held in Monza again, ...

Sounds good... Hyundai Motorsport has spent the last week developing its i20 N Rally1. Thanks to top cameraman José Arellano, DirtFish can bring you the action.

the new rally1 gen is a bit slower because of simple suspension and aero

Why do I see Porsche Cayenne's everywhere and why do they sell this cheap

#

and i'd love someone to tell me about how they deppreciated

#

i know anything fiat chrysler deppreciates fast af since the reliability is bad

#

but what about porsche panamera and cayenne?

hybrid charm
#

Probably because of high production numbers

#

Due to that they have a bad resale value

#

The older Cayennes were also based on the Touareg platform which made them cheap to produce for Porsche (having borrowed a multitude of parts from VW)

#

Yet they were selling them at very high prices

#

And the Panamera was just plain ugly and didn't start selling well until prices dropped

tbh, Haas did the right thing this year. Developing that lost cause of a car for one final year before it goes to the landfill wasn't going to make things any better for them.

why do people consider Murciélago the greatest lambo of all time

I don't think many people hold that belief

#

Aventador's looks aged really well though, for a car nearing the end of its production cycle

#

I think the earliest Murcielago looked a bit derpy by the time the SV came out and the model was about to end.

By comparison, even the oldest Aventador LP700 looks fine today. The only thing that made me think the Aventador needs a replacement is looking at the cold hard fact of it being around for 10 years already.

Or maybe even the generation before that one

#

Cause the Murci is under the Volkswagen ag reign

kind osprey
# barren hawk why do people consider Murciélago the greatest lambo of all time

Greatest, eh. In some ways I could agree but imo the ones that came before it had a lot more enticing and defining things about them. Simple reasons Donut fans would choose a Lamborghini from 2002-2010 over a modern one can include the fun factor of the car, less bombarding tech, nostalgia, and a great sense of raw feeling you get from an older vehicle

#

Cars from the era of the Murcielago were known as the last raw modern supercars

#

Like the Mclaren f1, and later on the Enzo, Slr, Carrera gt, etc

#

These cars were lighter, most had manual transmissions, were built in a more limited production, and had the ability to kill you easier than their successors

#

These factors on top of nostalgia create the perfect era for car enthusiasts who want a fairly modern vehicle but not the cars of today with 58 inch screens and a mode for every single little thing

#

The murcielago is an extremely important Lamborghini but if I had to choose I’d go for the much older ones

#

My favorite new one in the line up is the Huracán evo, the aventador is amazing but it can be hindered by its single clutch paddle setup and the thing feels as long as a pickup truck, it’s truly a party float of a supercar

#

The Huracan is the tiny more go kart designed one, and the na v10 is a great sound even with the two cylinders cut off compared to the flagship

kind osprey
# barren hawk i dont understand its importance

It’s importance in terms of how great it was as a car is subjective but majority rules it’s a beautiful fricken thing to exist. But the objective explanation to why the murcielago specifically was so important for Lamborghini was that it was the first car they ever sold in mass numbers, enough to keep the company afloat for the first time in its life. Lamborghini for the majority if its existence has been a struggling brand passed on and sold from parent company to parent company, but when Volkswagen bought every single car company on the planet back in 1998, the failing exotic cars under their belt started pickup up traction

#

In sales, and in a literal sense

#

Because the murcielago is awd

#

If the car was meant for one idc, I like forced induction but the two cars I never wanna see a turbo on are Lamborghinis, and Mclaren f1’s

#

I would genuinely be pissed if I saw a Mclaren f1 with any form of forced induction

#

I like how all the jdm cars handle turbos because the engines are built to withstand .50 cals

#

But anybody who puts 1000hp in either a supra, skyline, or whatever isn’t going to have fun with it

#

Overpowered cars are just stupidly undrivable, you can be a god and the thing will still feel like shit

#

If you have that much power in something like that you really only have two options

Drift or drag

@mint plank can an M1A1 abrams shoot a moving Mercedes W12?

#

Lets assume its average speed for both vehicle

#

The abrams can hit targets from a mile out. While moving at full speed. Over hilly terrain. While the target is moving at full speed

So in short? The stabilised automated browning would get the job done in the 2 seconds it takes them to bring the gun to bear

B) simply kick back, drink booze while the f1 cars engine exploded from the straight line running in fear

but like people say the e class w211 was the last well engineered merc

You want full luxury

My dad had similar doors in his CLK

so many materials, and shapes, all well inserted

it looks stylish

i love it

jagged sentinel

#

the new ones are uh

are playing too safe

that's my consensus on modern day mercedes

hybrid charm
#

The W124 500e is my idea of luxury

#

Basic (because of the era)

#

But enough to satisfy most

winter reef
#

i like how jeep wants to make each model be it's own sub brand

#

with unique letters inside and styling characteristic only to that model

hybrid charm
#

I don't know too much about Jeeps

#

All I know is that my friend had a Renegade and it was an absolute nightmare

winter reef
#

renegade is the cheapest right?

hybrid charm
#

Believe so

winter reef
#

honestly if you aint getting a wrangler you aint getting a true jeep

#

or a gladiator eventually

#

but fiat chrysler scares me

hybrid charm
#

Ignition problems are the most common

winter reef
#

renegade seems good but i dunno man

#

it starts at 16k for a reason

hybrid charm
#

That's true

jagged sentinel
#

Chrysler isn't exactly known for their build quality

winter reef
#

jeep renegade seems like a good package and it looks nice but god knows what issues it might have

#

to be fair i could have considered this to recommend to my parents but i dont want them to buy something notorious for issues

#

so yeah we are settling for a corolla sedan

hybrid charm
#

Someone on my street had an older Crossfire SRT6

jagged sentinel
hybrid charm
#

When it went in for a service, the mechanic said the underside looked like that of a 20 year old car

winter reef
#

like i said ive been in one and it's really really good

#

even for the cheapest version

#

honestly i wish we could save more months but mom wants a new car asap

#

because apparently our dacia can't take more

#

Mom, that shit aint breaking smh

jagged sentinel
#

Toyota probably won't break fast either

winter reef
#

yeah exactly why i told them about that

#

i do wish we could have just saved more for like a year or so and get a rav 4

#

but this can suffice well enough

hybrid charm
#

I like the Rav 4

jagged sentinel
#

The Corolla would probably get way better gas mileage anyway

winter reef
#

i wonder why stellantis wouldnt just begin making their cars reliable

#

is it like an unspoken rule of specific manufacturers being shit or what

hybrid charm
#

You'd think so

#

Its pretty shocking how unreliable some models are

winter reef
#

in what way?

hybrid charm
#

Well, Maserati for instance; they were never the most reliable car manufacturer

#

But the trend of them being absolutely atrociously unreliable has been carried on

winter reef
#

Oh of course that's why I saw a literaly 2002 quatroporte for 16k

hybrid charm
#

With that said though I'd still buy a Gran-sport

#

Because I'm crazy

winter reef
#

jeep have a very cool aesthetic especially here in europe

#

since most white girls dont buy jeeps unlike usa

#

but if only...

#

they were reliable

#

big sigh

hybrid charm
#

I'd do a lot to own a wrangler rubicon

winter reef
#

god i love the wrangler

#

also just a piece of mind, to think how iconic and off road jeep is regarded as here

#

people sometimes call SUV's just jeeps

#

of course they aint into cars but they know Jeeps are big, capable and just off road looking

hybrid charm
#

Over here Land Rover has a big presence

#

Not as much as it used to

#

Because some of the newer models are shit

#

Like the new Discovery for instance

winter reef
#

where are ya?

hybrid charm
#

England

winter reef
#

because im in romania, the land of volkswagens

#

ahhh makes sense

#

why does jaguar have an suv when you can get a land rover though

hybrid charm
#

That's a good point

winter reef
#

i know there's this obscure segment called muscle suvs

#

cayenne, macan, urus, stelvio, etc. etc.

#

but like why

#

i never understood this category

hybrid charm
#

I never understood quick SUVs

#

I suppose its because people have families or whatever

winter reef
#

well miss karen has to get their kids to school faster innit

hybrid charm
#

Fr

winter reef
#

this reminds me how at one point we were going to get a suzuki suv or whatever

#

but then they got the new model of the sx4 cross

#

and boy does it suck

hybrid charm
#

Oh yeah, my mum was gonna get a Vitara

winter reef
#

they basically downgraded the infotainment only for the first 2 trims

#

god damn it

#

so yeah we just stuck to toyota

hybrid charm
#

Good call

winter reef
#

just sucks that i cant convince mom to just save more to get something even better and worthy of a medic

#

but then again corolla is cool asf

#

love the styling on it

#

especially for an econobox

hybrid charm
#

It does look really good

#

Its pretty cool how the tables have turned, Toyota making good looking cars would've been laughable in the early 90s

#

Of course you had the A70 Supra and whatnot

winter reef
#

mfw they made a corolla cross

hybrid charm
#

But the corolla back then was this

#

Actually now that I look at it I kinda like it

#

Mini Lexus LS400

winter reef
#

damn you can connect your corolla to the app to see consumption and such

hybrid charm
#

Oh shit

#

That's pretty cool

winter reef
#

novelty features like this always make a car

#

that reminds me of that saab that had the parking brake flush into the design

#

some weird ass cup holder contrapton

#

and some really cool looking vent

hybrid charm
#

RIP Saab

winter reef
#

i mean scandinavian design still lives on with volvo

#

it's now mostly manufactured in china but also in europe so yeah

#

the chinese models are actually the same though

hybrid charm
#

Some of the newer Volvo's are really good looking too

winter reef
#

this reminds me how dad really wanted a chrysler then i only told him now that chrysler's literally dead in europe

hybrid charm
#

The only Chryslers you see over here are the Crossfire and 300C

winter reef
#

300C and Pacifica are like the only ones still made

#

also why did the british automotive industy flop so hard and get sold to foreign investors

#

heard the build quality was the reason

hybrid charm
#

I believe it was, yeah

#

Car companies like Rover genuinely made some good cars though

#

They didn't sell all that well

#

The Rover 75 for instance

#

Its pretty ugly but it had some great luxury features for its time

winter reef
#

broooo i used to see this back when i lived in a city, in the parking

hybrid charm
#

Pretty common because they're one of the only reliable Rovers

winter reef
#

because they were actually made by bmw?

hybrid charm

oh right mini still exists

it's also owned by bmw

winter reef

Also yeah I wonder why VW doesnt bring back the Beetle to compete with mini....again

heady swift
#

they did bring it back

#

wasn't a success

#

the beetle's styling doesn't carry over well in current contemporary styles

#

and volkswagens are mostly bought for the polo and golf, which are superior cars in every imaginable way

#

something which sold very well is the fiat 500

#

though fiats are awful cars

winged rivet
heady swift

but fiats models since the 80s have gone downhill

winged rivet
#

i love alot of fiat cars, but i could see why you dont care for them

is the 500 really that bad

heady swift

outdated tech, low quality materials and bad reliability

although they're mostly meant for that

but they don't look as polished as the 500

The only time I could see a manual being more of a nuisance than fun is either a packed city with lots of stops and red lights/bumper traffic. Or if the car is so advanced a manual would hinder it over their duel clutch, like Porsche’s pdk and anything over $150,000

#

I’m getting an auto most likely 99% for two reasons. The car I want in manual is double the price than in auto, I could swap it for less if I really needed to in the future. Two is that if anybody else like my parents need it it’s best to just have something that can’t be screwed up

heady swift

I mean that's why automatics have become the norm

they're simply easier and more convenient to use for every-day driving

unless you live in alaska or something

or maybe just sell it under an already existing brand for europe lmao

ford did enter europe, but they mostly sell the fiesta here

which is made in germany

i mean ford is just an economy brand

well

in a way

for some reason they still use silver plastic

THAT SHIT SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE 2000'S

i feel like fords are a bit highly priced for what they are

heady swift

they are

winter reef

well the Fiesta is fairly priced but that's all

wait no

it's 16k good god

that shit should be like 13k or so

heady swift

I mean there

you can hardly get a new car for 16K eu here

some shitty fiat with no options

I mean here you get Dacia or Dacia

they aint bad honestly

best budget brand imo

literally grew up with one

heady swift
#

dacia's ok

#

skoda's better though

winter reef
#

dacia's lineup is always under 20k

#

as for skoda it never felt like a budget brand

#

for me the best budget brands are dacia and suzuki

#

we were going to get a suzuki at one point, the SX-4 Cross, the previous model but now they butchered it with the facelift

#

so yeah we ended up settling for the corolla sedan, cheapest trim since it feels premium asf

heady swift
#

corolla is great

winter reef
#

so skoda is like the mazda of europe if you put it like that?

heady swift
#

eeeeh I'd say like hyundai

because germany is the japan of europe

winter reef

I know mazda perpetuates the idea of affordable luxury

also skoda might be czech in name and such but ever since it got bought it's just VW's

I mean they get all the good parts so I can't complain

im pretty sure at one point the superb was just a passat through and through

Glickenhaus have none of that. He just wanna reminisce.

old sedge
#

If that's true, then his brand will be worth more than Lambo brand too

#

But you have a point though, Jim wants to live in the old glory days of racing

#

Living in the old glory days is probably a huge reason why they're last place in the hypercar category at Le Mans

#

If Ferrari builds a Le Mans hypercar, I'm sure it'll have high chances of dominating Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring

#

Innovation and development are important in races and having none of those will not win the race.

ocean rock
#

As you say so, none of those will win the race.

#

Like by this stage theyre so conservative in WEC, Glick might as well propose to get sponsored by The Heritage Foundation and PragerU

old sedge
#

At first, I thought Glick didn't build a hybrid hypercar because his funding for the race is not big kek

#

At least someone in the livestream chat said that Glick's funding wasn't as big as Toyota's funding

ocean rock
#

He has enough to outsource.

old sedge
#

And because of the car's RWD drivetrain and heavy engine(heavier than the Toyota's hybrid engine) at the back, his drivers need to counter-steer more often than Toyota's drivers while being slower too

I think someone in the Glick's livestream chat during the race said that their decision to use pure ICE twin-turbo engine makes them awesome
