I'll set the building on fire
I'm annoyed by the 180 degree intake right next to the hotside with those tiny filters. A little packaging adjustment would mean like another 100hp. Like does it really need headlights? The intakes could go there.

Im positive Ive seen this car bombing around seattle a cople times in the past weeks too because how many loving two tone Cortinas in this part of the world can there be? I just assumed it had to be a different one because how often do you see a car and then it hapens to be the same one someone else just randomly posted?

Last weekend, the annual Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix was held. It was my 5th year on the track construction team and it was huge fun (and hard work) as always. I didn't grab a lot of photos, because I couldn't be bothered, but when this thing showed up, I figured I had to grab a couple of shots:



Unfortunately, my SD card crapped out and I lost the other pictures I took, but yeah that's a Koenigsegg One:1, and it's absolutely insane to even look at.

Wait. Did Toyota actually make a dually or is this some kind of troll?

Homologation special built by Lotus for Ford - Ford sent them a basic 2-door shell, Lotus re-engineered the suspension and slapped in their (Ford derived) twin-cam. 105bhp might sound slow today, but in 1963, when the base car had less than 50bhp (and the "quick" one had 70)? It was like having an M3 or something.

You probably saw more "normal" Cortinas if they weren't the Lotus colours - of course, nothing to stop someone changing the colour, but you'd be crazy to do so

I don't think Alan Mann would agree with this statement. The homologated minimum weight for a Lotus Cortina is 750kg (~1650 lbs) and in racing trim the Lotus Twincam cane make up to 170 hp.
