Yeah how much for something like this that goes 0-60 in 4 seconds? I don't care if it tops out at 80mph.

Alex on Autos claims the Explorer ST can do 0-60 in 5.1 seconds or less. Embargo has lifted today so YouTube videos are coming out.

This is probably some clickbait nonsense, but there's a rumor Toyota / Lexus will use Mazda's RWD inline 6 🤣 https://www.motor1.com/news/355606/lexus-rc-mazda-engine-rumor/ I don't lend a lot of credence to it but that would be funny, and awesome.

Like $15k less, the Jeep, and the Durango SRT8, are both up on power and faster in a straight line but a lot heavier so they probably(?) don't handle as well, and are more expensive.

Zero is doing a test drive/ride event today so I went down and took a turn on the SR/F. Holy poo poo. Bars are too wide, the mirrors are way to high, but the torque and overall package are addicting and now I want one. </review> Granted, at $21k its way too loving expensive. Bring it down to like, FZ-09 territory and we'll talk. ilkhan fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Jun 21, 2019 |

Besides, in an emergency you can push it to the top of a hill and regen the whole way down a bunch of times. Try making your own gas, combustards Actually no, nevermind, don't try that.

On the other hand since Mazda is developing the new platform and engine, they'd definitely want to share it. Hopefully the new 6 fits in the miata.

Jack B Nimble posted:What's the regen like doing that? A VERY rough rule of thumb is that a downhill regen is roughly 50% efficient, in terms of road miles traveled to miles or rated range charged. So say you go two miles downhill regen, you'd put about a mile of range back in the battery. Again, VERY rough.

Jack B Nimble posted:What's the regen like doing that? Keep in mind i'm tired and dumb and this is probably wrong, but The Bolt and Leaf regen at about 0.20g on flat land, that's about 1.96s/s2, 350kg, say a 1km long hill with a slope to max regen without using friction brakes, around 193.5 WH per run. 430MPGe city epa rating, 33.7kwh/gallon determined by the EPA that's 12.76 miles per KWH city, so every time you haul it to the top of the hill and ride down at max regen you should get around 2.46 miles. Ignoring friction because it's hard, You would need an 11.6 degree slope to get 1.96m/s2 that's a 20.53% grade. This is an 18% grade.

Ok, so not how you should plan to get around but genuinely viable if you're in your own city. I might push a bike up a hill a few times rather than towing.

That 510 is gorgeous, I love small cars and wish Minis weren't so expensive and poorly built American cars haven't been cool since 1971, and the Camaro since 1969
