Was it really? Because it wasn't on the track.

it was 10 seconds faster than the F1 on track.

I was convinced that it was an V12, it's a V8, apparently it is so loud that if you daily it you might get hearing loss

>Nissan’s badge is completely unsuited to a fast car lmao it looks ridiculous

How little these underaged fucks know about cars is hard to grasp

>be american
>most gas guzzling engines
>but no V12
y tho? talking about classics here

>>28529238
its past youre bedtime grandpa

>>28529248
The first production v12 cars ever were American, if you’re talking classics. I think not since the 50s though.
We fell in love with the V8 in ‘32 and it’s utterly dominated ever since

>>28529257
but you get the irony right? V12s are like the epitome of gas guzzling, am I wrong? perhaps burgers didn't want to overdo it?

>>28529259
20th century american auto industry is a commie plant
>bigger than v8 are you crazy??
>no no, EVERYONE must have them

>>28529259
Cadillac also made a v16 engine, I’m not sure why the post war turn away from greater than v8s

>>28529266
ford, that filthy antisemitic socialist

>>28529257
scaling displacement by boring out the same block is more cost effective than adding more cylinders. this allows you to dump more R&D into block design and have an engine that is robust and can be used for anything.

american V8s were a cheat code for winning races, to the point where even nissan used them to win one of the first japanese grand prix before quickly switching to a in-house V12 so as to not trigger the japanese boomers.
>>28529259
top fuel V8s guzzle fuel faster than anything else on earth besides after burner jets.

>>28529278
that's fine argumentation, however literal F1 cars had V12s, and by the sound comparison alone, I'm more than convinced that V12 is the supreme machine

>>28529286
F1 sounds like shit. but if you're into power tool sounds, yea sure.

>>28529253
It's the middle of the day, you little shit

>>28529290
>F1 sounds like shit

>>28529269
Too expensive. Americans couldn't afford anything better.

That'll be just under $1 million, good sir.

>>28529372
I like some parts and dislike others, interesting design for sure

>>28529392
lol wtf

>>28529226
>V8
straight 8 actually, but split into two blocks with the power-takeoff inbetween to limit torsional vibration of the crankshaft which would've stopped them from using roller-bearings for all shafts otherwise
It has DOHC, direct injection and just over 100HP/l, yielding 302 HP @ 7500 rpm.
290 km/h topspeed
Not bad for 1955
Seems like that one was retrofitted with a muffler but that did little

'93 Venturi 400 Trophy. Asking price $440k.
Too bad the front end looks like riced out MkIII Supra.

>Too bad the front end looks like riced out MkIII Supra.
Fuck you you can't say that. Though I hate how expensive these are for how cheaply made and weak they are.

This Ford Escort 1800 RS.
It sold for a quarter of milly quid after sitting unused for years following restoration.

About tree-fiddy thousand USD.

Does Sam Hyde still own his? I thought it was an interesting decision to buy one

Cocaine is one helluva a drug

fun-fact: in my country if you see a black bmw and the driver looks iffy or is a gypsy 9 times out of 10 he is a cocaine dealer

One of my all-time favorites, 205 T16. Rear engine AWD homologation special. 1/4 to a 1/2 million USD.
>>28529556
Damn, some e-bro has one of those? Really takes the coolness factor down a notch, I wouldn't have even posted it.

>>28529495
Other than Escort this whole thread is just freak show and ode to lack of taste and tackiness.

>>28529613
The theme of the thread is rare and expensive cars, not necessarily good-looking ones.

>>28529617
Just buy a Jag, looks close enough.

>>28529617
fuck bugatti for sticking to that ugly as fuck grill, even the new sport models look awful because of it

>>28529675
the sound of this one is hella good

>>28529611
Cope nigger. He bought the specific car in this video:

>>28529690
Looks good with the circular lights. Not so much on the modern cars.

>>28529675
what the hell why is the wheel in the middle?

>>28529006 (OP)

'bout half a mil.

>>28529755
I guess I got bugatti ptsd, I fucking hate that grill

>>28529489
I prefer the front of the 300

>>28531205
Very pretty car.
I have never understood why this bit of a trim line existed.

>>28531218
So they could get away with larger tolerances for the hood probably. That's a pretty large parts so it's gonna be hard to get it into 0.0x mm tolerance range and if the gap was just a mm or two any warp or other other inaccuracy in the whole thing or also the bumper would be dreadfully obvious. Continuing that line on the backside of the fender further adds to it being a deliberate design choice, it would look like the hood isn't properly closed otherwise.

>>28531249
>>28531218
That hood is one giant clamshell type, like the Ferrari 456, who used the same technique

Any of the Alfa 33 concepts, though this is my fave.

As silly as italians are for cars, stuff like "Disco Volante" is both silly and striking.

All the V12 talk got me thinking about the forbidden V12

*4 speaker stereo system*

I understand this now. My 70s era car could be optioned with just the 2x5.25-inch rear speakers or also with either 1x4-inch front speaker in the dash or 2x4-inch speakers also in the dash.

>>28529006 (OP)
is that the mark 5?

I wish car companies still made unique cars. The shape, the party trick, they soul. Today it seems like everyone just copies whoever is doing the best but fucks up the fringes to make it look like a copy wasn't done.

Hope he sees this, faggot. Maybe he'll agree to fuck your troon ass.

What is so wrong about car design going back to being elegant and streamlined and not fucking stupid MCU-obsessed soiboi design? Design should not be dictated to automaker by the lowest common denominator wears pajama pants to the grocery store consoomer whore. Maybe people aren't buying cars anymore because they're fucking D U M B because you keep designing them for D U M B people.

>spoonfeed me
Back in the early 90's and early 2000's there was a Japanese tuner shop called Tommykaira, founded by Yoshikazu Tomita and Kikuo Kaira. They eventually became a manufacturer, and developed their own sports car, the Tommykaira ZZ.

The successor to that car is what I posted. The Tommykaira ZZ2. It's a mid engine supercar with an aluminum frame, a bored and tuned twin turbo rb26, 6 speed manual, and all wheel drive. Essentially a mid engine GT-R that weighed like 2200lbs.

Only 1 prototype was made, and the car never made it to full production. It's relatively famous because it was in Gran Turismo.

Sounds like some gay shit nobody ever cared about. I'm glad I didn't bother looking into it.

>>28533052
That’s a pretty disrespectful and ignorant thing to say. If you don’t care about something, that’s your choice—but dismissing it with hate or mockery says more about your attitude than the topic itself. Try showing a little respect.

>>28533107
>Try showing a little respect.
respect is slowly earned and quickly lost. Making a tube chassis, fiberglass body, and using an R34 engine isn't something to respect considering they never made one.

>>28533114
So first it's ‘gay shit nobody cared about,’ now it's ‘actually, let me break down the chassis design’? Pick a lane. Either you don’t care, or you care a lot—just not enough to get your facts straight.

>>28533122
it's just one zoomoid with more ego than muscle mass
it's safe to ignore

>>28533122
Its gay shit nobody cares about including the irrelevant chassis. Are you the jap that made this thing wondering why nobody cares about your hobby?

Behold, the most perfect Cadillac to ever possibly exist. Cursed to be the coolest fucking concept car I can never drive

>>28533158
...why are you posting on /o/ if you dont care about cars?

>>28533185
I do care about cars. What I don't care about is some 1-off prototype that never moved under its own power but you're super excited because you drove it in Gran Tourismo 2 multiple decades ago. Its super obscure, its uninteresting, and not impressive for any metric. Its like you dumbasses cannot see the world for what it is because your very favorite work of art is at the top of the list. Ignore that a Rolls Royce Drophead. Its basically that Cadillac but not a GM product. I'm sure you'll piss your pants and say the front fascias are slightly different so its totally not the same thing despite RR being the definitive choice for that type of car.

Do you not know what 'unubtain' in unobtainable means?

>>28533297
Do you not see the obtainable cars in this thread?

Not OP, but have posted 5-10 cars in here.
If he wanted concept cars, it would've been a concept car thread. I assume the thread is about street legal cars (or trims) that have been sold to the public but are rare and or expensive as shit - that kind of unobtainium. Idc, just post whatever's clever, homedawgs.
