The Delorean was a 1 off at the worst time for cars and was sent into the sea on a wave of crime and cocaine. poo poo, Bricklin SV-1 was a one off as well.

I don’t think I’ve ever been near the top in this game, and with a couple of wolf answers to boot. For the one hit wonder I had Spyker C8 written down for days until the very last minute I changed it to delorean.  I’d rather have the Spyker tbh *edit: looking back at the questions for 17-20 and I am realizing that there is a very real possibility of me getting a total of 4 points for the rest of the game!

Edit, you think you were on question fifteen because of your hilarious answer that spans two lines. Double edit I bet you wanted Miata and hosed up the typing. Bulletiata ain't no movie I ever heard of.

Turbo Fondant posted:The Ghibli was literally the same car with updated styling and some semblance of reliability added tho... In 1989 (there was no 88 maserati in the US), they actually started calling their models by the engine displacement and door configuration like Mercedes. ie. a 430 would be a sedan with a 3.0L engine, the 228 would be a 2.8L coupe. They dropped the biturbo name completely for 89. The 89+ versions (and actually 87 with efi) fixed a lot of the issues. Stronger rear differentials, better electrical systems, synchros or whatever fixed in the transmission, run reliably, etc. Even though mine is an 87, it's technically a 425i: sedan with a 2.5L engine that has fuel injection. The Ghibli didn't come back until, iirc, 92 (at least in the US).

There was also the Shamal. So the Biturbo had several variations and generations originating from the same platform.

Like the v6 biturbo, they use an ECU for fuel injection and an ignition computer for ignition timing. But the shamal is a V8 and has one set per bank. If you thought the M70 was a disaster to diagnose issues with....

I got to drive a Bi-Turbo in 1983. I think that car had the finest leather seats I have ever experienced and that includes 1970's Rolls Royces.

I have fallen tremendously into mediocrity, I first thought "F40" for greatest Italian car, but it doesn't stir my loins the way a 250 GTO does. Truly the most beautiful car ever designed. I can't believe after submitting my answers did the Delorean hit me with a heavy sense of revelation. I am glad to see I wasn't the only one to think of the McLaren F1. They have made incredible cars, but Gordon's machine is unbeatable when it comes to the McLaren moniker. Everything that has followed is chasing the F1's very long tail.

Question 17: Over the years, cars have become safer and safer. This innovation is perhaps the most important of all when it comes to making cars safe.   Question 18: Everyone talks about Forza, Gran Turismo and the like when they talk about cars in video games. This non-racing video game has the best cars in it.    Answers soon...

It's a little bit random, though. They use materials and styles that just don't match. Every piece on its own is fine, but they don't work together. That said, the interior is a bit small for taller people. I can't drive with normal shoes on, I think it's designed for fine Italian driving shoes. The seats are a bit small for me, etc.

Look GTA has had some excellent cars over the years (and they're still churning them out in 5 with new cars every few months for several years) but there is an actual real life Genki Manapult with a real functioning goddamn cannon on the back of it and to me that trumps every other video game car (even the irl Banshee)
