Finger Prince posted:This is probably a render, but drat this DeLorean looks fresh. Render, but I unironically would prefer that to whatever bullshit DeLorean is going to try to pawn off as a "DeLorean EV". What I wat in a DeLorean EV is a DeLorean, but EV. Maybe with some updates like that rendering. Olympic Mathlete posted:It was tempting to put this in the other thread but I dunno, the dimensions kinda work. To me it seems to be a Jaguar XK8/R shell with the F Type rear lights, classic E type exhausts and I don't even know what the front end is because that's shorter than the original XK. I kinda dig it, seems really well done too. I'm going to agree with the comments on the Twitter that it looks like the car is originally a 911 o some stripe, given the greenhouse and nose profile. Neat, and my nostalgia bone was positively singing, but this is the one area where I don't miss '80s tech. edit: and I have no idea what a car's beaver is, either. Cue the "dragons loving cars" porn. Either that or the semi-anthropomorphic cars porn. I wish I were kidding. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Apr 20, 2022 |

Roughly, a beaver panel is the bit across the back the connects the two rear fenders, where the rear lights and bumper attach. I never thought about it till now but a quick search seems to suggest it's a bit of an Australianisim but that just could be what results Google gives for my location.

Is the front seat passthrough so you can stretch out your legs in the backseat? That whole thing is incredible, I just hope all those little motors are solid.

Ror posted:Is the front seat passthrough so you can stretch out your legs in the backseat? Yeah the centre of the passenger front seat is indeed for putting your feet up. And it's a Toyota. A posh one. (that's like 30 years old at this point) so if you don't think they over engineered the poo poo out of everything moreso than usual then you're nuts.

Yeah that Century is Toyota's flagship of flagships, the car that the royal family has as their chariot. It's insanely engineered with an under-stressed V12. It will last. BigPaddy posted:It is classic 80s Toyota. It will survive past the end of humanity. Came out in 1997 actually

Century for royalty, Nissan President for functionaries. When are you gonna buy one? Play chauffeur to the wife and/or kiddies. "Would M'um wish to recline? Oh yes, certainly M'um. Cocktail? Would Young Sir wish to record a message, while the chariot massages the shoulders?" White gloves, hat, mirror polished shoes. I can't imagine being in charge of the thing, and I baby my clapped-out, 20+ year old delivery trucks.

I just remembered that RCR did a video on the (newer) Century: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IZNSaVOM3s&t=44s all usual RCR disclaimers apply. No joke I'd get one of thse loving things if a) feeding the V12 wouldn't bankrupt me and b) didn't have to street park it
