Tell me, what was the first car Lamborghini made, the one made out of resent for Ferrari? Did you say the Miura? If you did, you’d be wrong. It was actually a grand tourer called the 350 GT that arrived in 1964 first, a full two years before the Miura. If you have never heard […]
3 This is one of the saddest videos I’ve ever seen. Don’t worry, no one wrecks or blows up. Really no one does anything at all. Just two well off guys sitting in chairs trying to stroke their ego. Sure, it is fun to see and hear these crazy machines perform but the matchup was […]
The cars we all lust after, these mid-engined sculptures of straight-line speed and blistering cornering abilities, they captivate us. Cars like the Murcielago, Enzo, Zonda, NSX, and P1 are the hyper-halo-cars we all claim we would drive daily if we had the available funds to do so. Even the more humble and otherwise uninspiring attempts at proper weight distribution have become cars of envy, like the Porsche 914 and Toyota MR2. But there is something wrong with these cars. The exact thing that makes them all so distinctive: their mid-engined layout. You see, all mid-engined cars are stupid.
Of course, what I mean is all road-going mid-engined cars are stupid. Race cars have a reason to be mid-engined. Bud there is no point to road going mid-engined cars. No one, on any public road in any car, will ever be going fast enough that they need to be driving a car that necessitates the superior balance of mid-enginedness.
When you do see a person driving a mid-engined car, they look ridiculous. The design of the mid-engine layout exists purely to put the heaviest part of a car toward the center so weight is distributed evenly. It is more balanced. The math checks out on that, but the idea is unrealistic for our heavily governed roads. It is ideal for track use, for race cars. Again, no one will ever reach speeds on public roads that would necessitate ‘ideal weight distribution’ and anyone who does reach those speeds is far too dim-witted to be capable of handling the unpredictable nuances of a mid-engined car. They will crash. And the video will be on YouTube with a title IN ALL CAPS WITH FOUR EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!! (LOSER REKS BRAND NEW FERRARI!1!!)
This will be you
Don’t misunderstand, a mid-engined layout is more balanced. But when control is lost in a mid-engined car, regaining control is hopeless. The higher threshold of balance creates a more untameable beast when unleashed.
So mid-engined cars end up being a tool for tools to pose in, the basis for an argument supported entirely by incomprehensible numbers pulled off an online review, a pretty picture reposted on shallow motivational Instagram accounts.
In reality, they are silly looking and impractical. Practicality and sensibility were sacrificed on the altar of the god of speed. But as you can see, this God is merciless and will only bring you shame.
The only reasonable sports car is one with the engine at the front and driven wheels at the back. Many of them (except you, Audi) have the engines mounted behind the front axle anyway, so most of the desired balance is retained, but the driver doesn’t have to sacrifice his dignity, or his luggage space. And that’s the way it should be.
The best cars have their engines in the front. These are the Grand Tourers and the Sport Coupes. Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari 550 or 365 Daytona, Mercedes CL600, BMW Z4M Coupe, Porsche 928 or 944. These are a gentleman’s car. And they are not stupid.

This LM002 is an absolute beauty, everything is up to date and runs great. There are upgrades done to the car such as a radio and a custom driver seat rail to allow the seat to go back further for a tall person to drive. It has 18,402 kilometers. Call for more details if interested and serious offers are welcome.
Were you not able to go to the 2016 Geneva Motor Show? Here are the highlight cars:
Koenigsegg Regera: Christian Von’s love-child of technology that one-ups every other hypercar. Famously designed without a traditional gearbox, this single speed monster is perfect for billionaire hipsters. You’ve probably never heard of it. You definitely won’t ever see one… because there are no billionaire hipsters.

Porsche 911 R: Porsche’s manual version of the 911 GT3 RS, save the PDK gearbox and aero. A 500 bhp flat-six, a good ol’ manual box, and enthusiast oriented details. Sure to be a fun car. Even though The Clarkson says that gear knobs are for whiskey-swilling hill dwellers, this limited run 911 has apparently already sold out… must be a lot of hill dwellers out there.

Bugatti Chiron: The almighty successor to the mighty Veyron. The reveal included lots of very large performance numbers like 1,500 bhp 1,600 Nm. Yet it is an old school approach to the hypercar in a day when everyone is looking to the future.

Aston Martin DB11: I’ll try to describe it without a reference to Bond, James Bond. An jaw-droppingly pretty design religiously following the rule-of-thirds. Powered by an all-new turbocharged AMG V12.

Lamborghini Centenario: There’s some special anniversary happening at Lamborghini, so they felt the need to build a limited run Aventador with a body kit to sell to some sheikhs. That’s about all it is. Chris says it looks like a gaming mouse… but Chris is also an idiot. But in recent news Lamborghini has teamed up with Forza the video game series for their next release, so their may be some truth to it. To be sure, it’s probably better to leave the game mouse designs to BMW.

Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport: If the Z06 is America’s equivalent of the 911 Turbo, then the Corvette Grand Sport is America’s GT3. Essentially it’s a Z06 minus the supercharger, but it retains the upgraded suspension and body kit. Another wonderful enthusiast-oriented sports car.

Apollo Arrow: The company dropped the ugly Gumpert name in favor of something a little more sexy. Likewise, their car got a little sexier. Given its 1000hp and 740 lb ft of torque, the Arrow is certainly both beauty and beast.

Disco Volante Spyder: What may have already been the world’s most beautiful car based on the world’s most beautiful car just got more beautiful by losing its head. The Disco Volante Spyder is the ideal riviera-cruiser. It’s the kind of car that could make world peace a reality.

Spyker C8 Preliator: Spyker’s supercar boutique is back up and running with the C8’s new iteration: the Preliator. The new version is inspired by aviation evolution, dubbed by Spyker as a “road jet.” Certainly an apt description considering the mid-mounted turbocharged 525 bhp Audi V8.

Pagani Huayra BC: Mr. Pagani’s mad mind is at it again, debuting a new monster. The “BC” represents the initials of Benny Caiola, from whom Horacio has drawn inspiration from over the years. Or it could stand for Ballistic Carriage, your choice. Its track-focused persona is highlighted by a new, automated manual transmission.
Autobobili Lamborghini unveiled the Huracán LP 580-2, the rear-wheel-drive version of its Huracán LP610-4 this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Paradoxically, Lamborghini says it is a “serious car for serious drivers: it is maximum driving fun,” meaning, of course, that serious drivers can’t be trusted with the same horsepower as all-wheel-drive-loving, non-serious, fun-hating drivers.
“The Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2 continues the Lamborghini tradition of pure, visionary and technology-driven models,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The rear-wheel drive model fits perfectly into our Huracán family, appealing to those wanting an even more intense driving experience, or who currently drive other rear-wheel-drive marques and aspire to driving a Lamborghini. This is the purest expression of a Lamborghini to date, with class-leading technological refinements.”
Technically speaking, the new LP 580-2 has 580bhp and is 30bhp down on its all-wheel-drive twin, but is also 73lbs (33kg) lighter. It has a 40/60 front/rear weight distribution and the steering set-up and selectable driving modes are tuned to provide oversteering characteristics, which is, ironically, uncharacteristic of all other Lamborghinis. The LP 580-2 sits on new 19” rims wrapped in Pirelli PZeros. It has also gotten a mild redesign of its front and rear, accenting a young and more assertive look, which isn’t shared by anyone who can actually afford to buy it.
