MMM: Revised Audi eTron

Despite being a general fan of Audi, I haven’t been mad about the eTron up until this point, especially the awful orange coupé presented last year — I thought it best not to torture your eyes with it. The red spider rolled out at CES is nice though.

MMM: Porsche GT3 Rally

As you know I’m not a fan, but these just sound fab. Very barky, very Fireplacey.

The guy in the red one’s mad, has to be an Irish fella called Mikey or Paddy Mac. Or Austin…

“Ford Focus swaying leftlem to right snow/ice normal?”

TOP TIP: Next time you’re screaming at the clueless fuckwits driving too fast or too slow* in the snow and ice, calm yourself down by remembering that they’re akin to theoretical physicists when put next to chris20051 from AAM, Fianna Fail Voter #1.

* You may feel you have to crawl your crapbox up the hill and on-ramps – you really don’t – but I drive a RWD, and can’t. I need a run at it. Move over, speed up, or stay at home, dickheads.

MMM: Audi Quattro Concept

Gorgeous. Audi has been a bit blah of late, and the neverending quest to out-over-overmodel the other germans is getting a bit tiresome, but by gum they got this one right. It’s like they took the perfect original and just brought it up to date.

MMM: Hennessey Venom in Leno’s Garage

This thing has twin turbo 6.2l LS9 V8 shoehorned into a stretched Lotus Exige body, it runs 1000hp at the wheels on pump petrol, and it sounds terrifying. It sounds like it’d wait outside the track for one of those evil-sounding McLaren Mercs, and beat the snot out of it. I’d like to put one in my (imaginary) garage alongside a similarly Lotus-bodied Tesla Roadster, and watch the Tesla soil itself.

MMM: Renault Dezir Concept

About time we got back to a bit of MMM, n’est ce pas? This is from Paris 2010 in October, a Renault concept called Dezir. The opposing scissor doors are nonsense but the car itself is gorgeous.
