Bigland promised 8 models in till 2020. Interesting....

The typical driver of the most powerful Camaro is man/woman over 65 years old. Rich rednecks....

It seems like running in circle. Allpar does not have a clue about European and South American cars. The site based the articles on rumors from Italian forums (such Autopareri), authors do not have an ability to figure out who is reliable source of information. Anyone can make an assumption about future. However, thinking logically, we know that Alfa will have own engines, designed for Alfa Romeo only (common knowledge), and ePER (reliable source) mentioned 1.5 engine (cancelled from Giulia line) So, in my opinion next Alfa-Alfa engine would be 1.5 engine
-
By ePER we can only find 4C MY18. By the way, what Alfa tests?

Jacky Stewart approves also. I am reading his book now, even it was written in 1986, the driving principles and physics of car behavior haven changed through years.

Understeer happens when person does not know how to find right trajectory or overspeeding. Nothing wrong with a car if it undresteers. It is driver mistake. P.S. Did QV understeer when Francia drove it while record run?
-
When I see all that drifting photo I am thinking about stupidity of the journalists. Have anyone seen even one little attempt of Fabio Francia to drift while Nurburgring run?

By my knowledge he had never designed any car at Alfa or FIAT http://www.walterdesilva.com/

What could be if Alfa did not not kill Autodelta
-
What is 1.5 engine? By ePer it was canceled

It is pretty interesting to know. How many full "throttle" starts Tesla can do till uncharging battery? 3 or 5? And then it will stay for 6 hours on charge. How many circles at Monza can this Tesla do and what will be the time? Electric cars are pretty stupid at modern level of battery technology, and I am pretty sure they will never be popular, the reason is that we have Lithium supplies for 70 years only. However we have oil (only oil without gas) for 400 years.

Who is F. Francia?

I can tell about Canada. People without engineering background believe the heavier a car the more safe it is. Another reason, women like to drive big cars, to seat high above the road. Again, they feel more safe. And people believe that 4WD system is more stable and more safe. And the size matters - the bigger is saloon, the more comfortable to travel. And the last reason, I think the most important. People nowadays are higher, fatter and heavier than even 10 years ago. Bigger customers need bigger cars.

I think it is just one of the marketing crap. Will believe in this technology only when it appears on market. According to russian Autoreview, Infinity copied Soviet technology designed by NAMI https://autoreview.ru/articles/know-how/Unique Daimler tried to use NAMI technology in 2002-03. NAMI and Germans built several engines based on OM611 and M111. Russian technology allowed to change compression ratio from 7.5 to 14. However after tests both companies figured out that power increased up to 20% when ratio changed from 7.5 to 10. And next increasing of ratio from 10 to 14 boosted power up to 3.5% only. So, do not expect the miracle

May be I have stupid questions. Can any modern "autopilot" car use auto mode without data reception? Is someone tried to use Tesla/Mercedes (whatever brand) "auto" mode in winter (real winter) time? Can cars with "autopilot" be driven by themselves without satellite reception (underground parking, mountains or in downtown of any city with skyscrapers) Why autopilot has not been used yet on very expensive moving devices (trains, mining trucks) where the cost of the most modern very expensive equipment can be returned fast?

http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/sites/www.nrcan.gc.ca/files/oee/pdf/transportation/tools/fuelratings/Model Year 2016 Vehicle Tables.pdf http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfm I think last year Canada implemented new consumption homologation cycle. I can say it is even more hard than real life driving. For Dart 1.4 Turbo declared city consumption is 8.6 l/100km, however my best real life result was 6.8 l/100 and average is 7.1. P.S. I found this link is interesting, consumption of EV and hybrid cars. For instance BMW i3 with range extender consumes on a highway more fuel than Dart. The driving range of electric cars is ridiculously small. The best of them, Tesla S90D, has 473 km of driving range and requres 12 hours charging cycle. It means that 1300 km trip can last at least 48 hours in the best scenario, instead of 11-13 hours by driving petrolium or diesel vehicle. http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportation/tools/fuelratings/atv-2016.cfm
