You ever wonder what a 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic sounds like?



One of 2 cars in existence, this one owned by Ralph Lauren. Worth well North of $40M now.

the link I posted upthread has the sounds of all of his cars. edit: of course I can't find it because the search function fucking blows

Well, some decent wheels would be nice.

I would like to hear the inner monologue of this fellow right before he mashed the Maclaren's gas pedal

First look at the 2016 Miata at 9:00 EST.

[Mazderati]

New generation looks good from what they've shown. Turned into a fucking Duran Duran production without a single rotation around the car.

[BmillsSkier]

^^^
We had a 94 M Edition Miata that was an absolute blast to thrash around the road. These newer ones, while I'm sure are better, look so big and heavy compared to those early ones.

I scanned through that video, on mute, so I don't know who that band was but I also noticed that while they said they were in Monterrey, they unveiled a right hand drive model. That and they really only showedd it from the sides, no direct shots of the nose or tail. Why is that?


EdIT: That was Duran Duran? Thought it might be seeing that guy's DD tattoo. Oh well, show us the damn car.

[Mazderati]

It's just poor production. Full shots are trickling in around the web. One of the bigger changes from last generation to this is supposed to be a 220ish pound diet. That would put the car's weight somewhere between the first and second generations; around 2,250 pounds.

I suppose you can make anything look romantic. I don't see what's special about that car. Not especially powerful. Style is meh.

I really hope you are being sarcastic. Because if you don't get Group B, perhaps you should go back to the other jerk off threads here in the PR.

I had a materials science instructor who was into building and racing cars. Somebody brought up 0-60 times one day and or instructor went off on a tangent about rs200s and the one time he saw one racing.

There was a good lancia status video recently, I'll have to go look for it...

I don't get group B. Maybe instead of just going back to the other jerk off threads, I should just leave the interwebs entirely. Just so you know, I'm not really prepared for that big of a commitment.

Alternatively, maybe you can regale us with tales of watching Röhrl and Kankkunen in Monte Carlo. Cause clearly you get it.

[Hugh Conway]

or you can go back to jerking off over overweight porsches.

[wooley12]

Funnest car I ever got to drive was my pals Caterham Super 7. Could reach down and put my full palm on the street from my seat.

[PNWbrit]

It's like saying you don't "get" boobs.

[SkiCougar]

May not have have the pizzazz of many of the cars put up here, especially those out of Italy; but I think its one of the few cars that an American car company has put out in the past 10 years that have real charisma and the gxp is plenty fun; I know; I own one.

[PNWbrit]

^ Agreed, was following one the other day thought pretty much the same thing. Very pretty cars.

Probably belongs in the MGB thread in answer to the "get a Miata" suggestions.

[MontuckyFried]

Have a buddy with the Saturn variant, the Sky Redline. That car is great fun to drive, indeed. If I had either one though, I'd be dang tempted to attempt the LS engine swap.

As long as you go on looks only. Drive a Solstice GXP and the S2000 back to back and it's eye opening. And likewise, I found the Miata much more entertaining to drive than the base Solstice.

[PNWbrit]

Drive a....

I'm not in the market for a roadster.

No doubt the Mazda and Honda are marginally less hairdresserish.

I've only driven my sister's Mk1 Miata(MX5) Didn't really like it at the time. But I didn't like MGBs either. The Mk1 MR2 she had prior to the MX5 was way more fun to drive.

[MontuckyFried]

Keyword: Base

Drive a Solstice GXP or Sky Redline and your impressions will be vastly improved. I love both the Miata and the S2000, but that doesn't take away from the fact that both the Pontiac and Saturn roadsters are a blast to drive, and pretty good looking to boot.
