Too many doors.

Too many headlights.

It's a Jaguar.

Why did the British stop developing the television and leave it to the Americans?
They couldn't find a way to make it leak oil.

I'm poor, or as you people would say I'm a "poorfag"

Is that the same engine from Audi?
>>
>>28700316
Because their televisions couldn't possibly hold that many commercials.

>>28700290
none of this ever happened

>>28700290
Bullshit, the Kia amanti never came with a manual

with or without the same tire?

Tyre sizes are completely different on each car

1984 Testarossa lap time - 09:17:01
https://fastestlaps.com/tests/t3r4lo2r09ce

2004 S-Type 2.7 lap time - 09:12:00
https://fastestlaps.com/tests/8dfk073bluls

No mention of tyres for each, but I'm guessing they were both running on factory tyres
>>
>>28700290
>50mpg
Doubt it
But yeah cool specs, didn't even knew those cars had manual and v6? A jag?
>>
>>28700290
>V6
Yeah I don't need an excuse to not own a jaguar with a fucking V6. If I wanted a Jaguar, I can afford the V8 cars.

>>28701755
His point isn't the sizes, dumbass, it's that comparing lap times of old cars to newer cars is of little value because the progress tires have made erases your ability to compare car vs car, especially with an example like yours. 5 seconds on 9 minute lap... For example if you put a new GT-R on factory tires from 1984 it would probably be a minute or more slower, forget seconds.

>Doubt it
OK, you got me. It's 49.7 MPG, close enough to 50 MPG
>>
>>28701895
You got me too
A fucking diesel
But still impressive what tire size are using? My w202 605 can manage 47mpg using 225 17 tyres
>>
>>28700290
It's British.

245/40/R18 all round for the 2.7

Don't sleep on the X type
Might be transverse but its AWD (and rwd bias iirc)

Using those my old V8 gets almost 40mpg highway.

>>28700290
Wasn't sold in the USA

Boring, baby engine. I dont live in china, i dont need a lawn mower engine.

Isn't that the ford-psa engine that spins bearings and snaps cranks all the time? They used these in landrovers and I think some french cars.
