So when are weird performance cars going to start flexing and bringing back handbrakes?

 I've never seen one of these in person before. Very weirdly proportioned. Neat that they at least got it in a fun color.

Good lord. I’m surprised they allow some of the specs they do. Colour coding all the black plastic/carbon looks insanely bad and adds huge amounts of visual weight that some poor designers spent months trying to remove. I saw one a few weeks back with silver painted parts on a black car and it looked like a Hyundai or something. Madness.

They’re on the same platform and the RS6 has the same engine, so really not far off.

My understanding is the Cayenne is actually good off road when fitted with proper tires. That counts for a lot, in my mind. It would be hilarious and amazing if the lambo suv was legit good off road, too (but that seems unlikely).

I came upon these two while taking the scenic route home over a mountain pass during a storm. We were thinking, they really gonna go up there? Yep  I’d never seen an old Giulia like that before. Turns out they were part of http://thesnowballrally.com/

Didn't the first-gen have a proper low-range transfer case? I know the Touareg did.

I want to see a movie/tv sequence where the bank robbers get in to one of those and get caught because they can't figure out how to get it to move forward. Like just a solid minute of them pressing random buttons and pulling on stuff to try and get it to move.

IIRC they toned down the off-road capabilities after the first gen once they realized nobody in the golf club parking lot cares Motronic I believe, and yeah the first and second gen (955 and 957 respectively) got the fancy low range transfer case. The 958 and newer have a single speed transfer case, although it's still got an electronic locker.

Lightbulb Out posted:I think that's a G It is. A friend is an ergonomics guy and him and his boss got flown over to Sant'Agata a couple of years back to critique the Urus. Ego mode recalls your custom settings at the pull of the lever so you don't have to play with the buttons every time (because look at that loving nightmare). They asked the design staff there how it worked. None of them knew  The whole couple of day's work was them just roasting the poo poo out of the design from a user perspective and at the end of it all Lamborghini asked them if they could come back at a later date and critique the rest of the range. He told me that Lamborghini said that users hate the gently caress out of that red plastic flap that sits over the start/stop button but they won't take it off now because it's part of the design vibe. You just have to interact with it every single time.

I love the red plastic flap for the same reason I love the key (that they got rid of) in Astons. Yes, it's a pain to have to literally insert your key in the dash instead of leaving it in your pocket. Yes, I constantly feel like I'm doing to break it or it's going to get stuck in there or it will somehow cause the entire car to explode. Yes, if do it too fast or don't hold it long enough or don't recite the magic incantation, the car won't start. But it makes me feel like a goddamn secret agent WAAAY more than the stupid "007 Edition" door sills ever could. Don't daily your Lamborghini, you dorks.

Everyone has this idea of "oh I'm going to daily an exotic car and it's going to be so cool" but you just spend all your time sitting in traffic and you realize doing it actually sucks and then you complain to Lamborghini that their supercar isn't comfortable and convenient and can't fit groceries and they go and slap a badge on an Audi SUV. If you're actually mad enough to daily an Aventador, cool, it's your car. But don't buy a fake supercar SUV because your neighbor just bought a G Wagen and you can't face them at the HOA meetings anymore.
