The Diablo had a front-axle lift feature for speed bumps. This video was recorded by having the driver push that button to lift the front axle, to make it look like taking the bags out alleviated lots of weight.
I had a cousin that used to make his girlfriend get out of the car so he could pull his low rider truck over the RR tracks. I still think about Big Holly sometimes
Captain, you see that? Shorty getting gift on the low low- it’s looking like Ray-J season( shorty got gift) all gloves are off, let’s the gift giving begin!
90s grand tourer and supercars use a lot of mass-production car parts. The late Diablos without the pop-ups have Nissan 300ZX (Z32) headlights. They've glued a little bit of carbon fibre trim on top to hide the Nissan engravings on the part. The tail lights are bog standard Hella (iirc) lights that are commonly used on buses, no license micro cars... and a bucnh of other supercars, including the Pagani Zonda. My Mazda MX5 has the same inner door handles as an Aston Martin DB7.
Luxury cars by default are nothing special (in fact they are mostly very impractical or almost useless) but they are just another status symbols someone has managed to sell for way too much money.
Supercars and luxury cars are (or were) different things. Cars focused on pure performance and / or driving experience VS cars focused on actual comfort luxury. What you want is more a Bentley / Rolls Royce kind of thing, where every single component is bespoke. Supercar manufacturers back then were their own small scale operations which couldn't afford to manufacture every little thing, so they just focused on the essentials. There's still some reuse, but much less obvious nowadays.
But yeah, decades of people complaining about Ferraris having Fiat stalks and buttons have drove the bigger names into "bespoke everything that can be seen or touched and raise prices exponentially", because the big groups who bought them realized that nets you bigger margins, which has driven proper drivers cars into near extinction now.
Been in Amsterdam as a pedestrian. The infrastructure is a big fuck you to us as well. Cyclists have the right of way everywhere, the sidewalks are barely wide enough for two people walking side by side, and if they are wider - most of them ale blocked by parked bicycles. Beautiful city but walking anywhere near the central districts is hell.
Technically pedestrians have right of way over any other road participants except rail based public transport and emergency vehicles, though there are limits to safe crossings
So if a cyclist runs into you, and it is obvious you didn't jump in front of it to get hit, the cyclist is at fault and you can get a damage claim paid by them, the same goes for cars
I knew someone who knew someone that bought and restored a Lamborghini (Murchielago, I think) for around US$75,000. I asked about them a few years ago, and apparently it sold for nearly triple that. Asked them what they did next, and the money was used to buy another Lamborghini (though I don’t know which model) and restore it. Sold it for around half a million. Brings a whole new meaning to having “Lamborghini money.”
Another problem with the Diablo and Countach is you've got basically no rear vision from the driver's seat. One trick to reversing them is to sit on the doorsill and look behind you, as demonstrated by Tedward in a Countach here (@14:17): https://youtu.be/XVo-yzd9hAI?t=856
There was a dude in a Ferrari downtown the other day. Was trying to pull into a driveway, but kept scraping, Tried it at an angle, scrape. At a different angle, scrape. Tried it in reverse... big scrape. That's the great thing about a car like that, really. It's just so practical.
That's my favorite thing about these kinds of cars. Buyers acquire them with absolutely zero fucks given about its feasibility in terms of where they live. "Yeah, I got like 35 hills around town, but I'm gonna enjoy my purchase regardless."
Supercar* There are heaps of sports cars that are efficient enough daily drivers. I love cars, I would absolutely daily drive a supercar and it would be just for me.
I saw a guy drive his Lamborghini up to the top of Mt Blue Sky (Mt Evans back then) a few years back. That is a rough road. He was the slowest car on the road that day trying to avoid devil's punch bowls.
The last time I was up there, some guy drove his genuine, non-kit, 1966 AC Cobra. I think that was worth $1.5 million at the time. But that car has more ground clearance.
I have a standard (no tuning) Opel/Vauxhall Astra J, 11 years old, that scrapes the road after every speedbump no matter what speed you take it. Some cars just have design flaws.
I've had that with various model Suzuki Swifts as well. Always nice to get the clunk under the front seat going over some stuff. Springs not worn out. Just a lowish economy car. The current model North American model Toyota Corolla is especially low and has a long front bumper. Driving one of those on Puerto Rico roads everything gets scraped
It's the design of the car: the plastic shape of the front bumper is hanging too low. Combined with soft suspension's reaction to speedbumps... in theory, i can go over them. In practice, I need to slow down. Not as bad as the Ferrari but still, embarrassing.
It arrests the movement of the suspension. As in it stops it from bouncing, returning it to neutral more quickly. I literally said shocks don't stop travel distance (ie, maximum compression and extension) why would you assume I meant that?
Many/most of the modern ones have a front lift feature to help get over speed bumps and up/down ramps without scraping. Some people also add these into older cars. One example: https://youtu.be/iMqXtbPPtLI
Even non-crazy low riders (the ones that can bounce up and down like 4 clowns on pogo sticks) normally can inflate their bags enough to safely climb speed bumps. That six figure factory low riders ever didn't is absurd.
Axle lifting systems are even added to cars that were sold without them. While expensive, they are convenient and may even be cheaper than repairing expensive damage from scraping a car with little ground clearance
I once watched someone try to park a Lamborghini. You can't see out of the rear window, so in order to reverse you have to *physically hang out of the drivers side door* and try to peer around the body of the vehicle. They shouldn't be street legal.
It's very specific to the Countach and Diablo. But now people can retrofit rear view cameras to them. Regardless, it's literally just a reversing problem, you can see cars behind you on the road through the mirrors, it's just judging where that huge car ass is when you reverse that's ahrd.;
Look, I can't help that I fell in love with a bear. This is my first time meeting the whole family after they wake up from hibernation and I want to look nice, ok?
If there’s any gps in existence that warns about either speed bumps or potholes I’d love to hear about it. And ironically, here in the Seattle area at least, some of the most wealthy and exclusive communities have more speed bumps than anyone. But hey take one at full speed in a car like that and you might just jump over the next one.
Maybe Waze would've had a feature for reporting speed bumps, just like for cameras, by now if not for being purchased by Google. Knowing that a bump or other speed reducing measures are coming up has the same effect as them being there in the first place so I'm all for it. Maybe Maps will one day be able to identify them based on Street View photos and traffic data (cars always slowing down in the same spot).
When I used to build VW's which were all extremely impractically lowered, we used the "slammed navigator" was a GPS app for just that. Dont know if it is still a thing.
ICE cars...pfffffftttttt! Seriously, I saw a Ferrari or Lambo or whatever and it was doing about 10 km/h on the public road to go over speed bumps. Ridiculous...they're not built for cities with no air flow to cool the internal combustion engines (ICE).
Yes, lots of ICE shills still haven't grasped the technological differences. They choose to attack the messenger rather than the argument (ad hominem). ICE shills live in their world and when they hear different information the human stages of denial kick in, then anger, bargaining, depression, then acceptance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_stages_of_grief
ICE engines are a lot easier to cool & will take a lot more to overheat than EVs, I hope your comment was sarcasm. The radiators have fans, so they provide their own air flow, & the coolant has a lot of thermal mass. EVs on the other hand can suffer heat soak of the battery and the motor which means performance tapers off after only a few minutes of performance driving to something akin to a 90's minivan. ICE cars have much, much, much better stamina compared to present EVs. 24 Hours of Le Mans?
Read it again...Ferraris, Lambos and ICE supercars overheat in cities. They're not driving 1000 km/h for enough air flow to hear their internal combustion engines. You know the internal combustion engine is in the back right? Numerous stories of ICE cars overheating, just look out the highway emergency lane in summer. The Ferrari's overheat so much in cities that paint melts off and the rear wheel chassis is destroyed. Common ICE mechanic problem.
They have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. This is the problem with the internet, confidently incorrect people spouting bullshit as if it were fact. They have such little expertise in the topic they cannot fathom how much they don't know.
Think digital control, microchips, microcomputers, micro being millionths of a second control. The preciseness of speed and distance to an object, is incomparable to ICE cars (think analogue, physical, slowness, wear and tear, 1000's of parts and complications).
Reminder to read the comment again. Super ICE cars are not made for cities. Nevertheless, EVs are amazing for long distance driving over a long time, many people drive around Australia, Europe and the USA. LeMans doesn't sound like city driving, where, again, the slow speed doesn't provide enough airflow to the rear internal combustion engine...drive one or talk to your local mechanic without their boss around.
Okay, the engine isn't cooled by the airflow around it, it's cooled by the coolant circulated through it, which is pumped through a radiator, which is placed in airflow and also has fans to draw enough airflow when they are not moving fast enough. EVs will need to stop and charge for 8+ hours once they've driven their max range, where as an ICE car takes 180 seconds to fill up, so they're objectively terrible for long distance driving, turns a 20 hour trip into 3-4 days. EV engineer speaking.
