Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

Probably a Porsche Panamera

Probably a Porsche Panamera

Wow that really looks like that Panamera. Questions about cars ? Answered within a few minutes on GTP...

 

[McLaren]

Not probably. It is.

 

[Speedster502]

Aston DB9

DB9 Sport Pack no less. Nice spot 👍

 

[Venari]

Not probably. It is absolutely bloody hideous.

Fixed.

 

[Duke]

Let's see it with the camo off before we judge it too harshly, eh? Overall it doesn't look any worse than a lot of cars people on this very forum seem think are attractive.

 

[Venari]

Aw, can't I play up about it just a little? *grump*

I'd love Porsche to provide an elegant, well-proportioned four-door... honest. I'm just not entirely certain this is it. Or, judging it inline with the stillborn predecessor 989, that they ever will.

But I've had a bad day, so knuckle rap accepted. Just don't mention Jason Plato.

 

[McLaren]

Fixed.

It only looks hideous to you because you probably get to see Aston's upcoming Rapide every other day.

 

[opendriver]

Fixed.

I agree. Down right hideous

 

[ExigeEvan]

Not probably. It is.

You're sure VW aren't just using it as a test chassis? The ol' Porsche 4-door test bed has been round quite a while now.

 

[Dougboy]

I didnt think GT500's have a full cage from the factory so this one must be custom made

Mess around with it in photoshop, but it was obviously a failed attempt

2day:

Ferrari 348 Challenge!

 

[Joey D]

Nice spot and all, but why the hell are there bison on the retaining wall of the highway? I never place Colorado, traffic jams, and big hairy cows together.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Today I saw my first FG Falcon on road, base model. Looked pretty bland and didn't really stand out so much, well it is the base model anyway.

 

[Serge.D]

Never seen a truck with just MINI's on it, thanks for the photo.

👍

Today.




Mini Red Bull.

 

[Joey D]

The Red Bull MINI's are quite cool, I saw one for the first time a couple weeks ago at the Red Bull Air Races in Detroit/Windsor. I would love to get my hands on a used one, take the can off and use it as a little pick up truck thing.

 

[Turbo Lag]

There's HEAPS of them in Melbourne, I've taken pics of a few. I can't resist taking pics of them.

 

[Metar]

I can't help but wonder just how bad that thing is aerodynamically.

 

[Joey D]

Probably pretty bad, I can't imagine the Cooper is overly aerodynamic, it's just a rounded box.

 

[Metar]

The Cooper itself isn't that bad - you'd be surprised how much aerodynamics depend less on the general boxy shape - but that can probably has the effect of 20 luggage-racks.

 

[Joey D]

I think coefficient of drag is .35 for the Cooper and .37 for the Cooper S...I honestly don't know how good or bad that is. It's about the same as a Ferrari F50 though.

Here's some comparison, a GT-R is like .27 and a Prius is around .31.

Both very aerodynamic vehicles

 

[ExigeEvan]

Pointless fact, the citroen AX has a CF of .31 aswell

But it can't get up to speed to use that

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

But it can't get up to speed to use that

oh yes it bloody well can!

 

[mustangGT90210]

oh yes it bloody well can!

I can't even make that video get up to speed! Laggggg

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

I can't even make that video get up to speed! Laggggg

That doesnt make sense...

 

[Alex.]

I think mr rentacar numbers means his connection sucks. Not about the BT Evo.

 

[Brett]

I think coefficient of drag is .35 for the Cooper and .37 for the Cooper S...I honestly don't know how good or bad that is. It's about the same as a Ferrari F50 though.

A coefficient of drag of 0.35 is pretty good. Really anything in the 0.3x range is good. There are some cars that go into the 0.2x, but not too many. Just for reference, a Formula one car has anywhere from about a 0.7 to a 1.1.

It only looks hideous to you because you probably get to see Aston's upcoming Rapide every other day.

The Rapide isn't that much better except it doesn't have a hideous spoiler on the back.
