found a 1920 version of this photo.





I also felt it would look nice in B&W.

I'm pretty sure I've heard somewhere that it has the same footprint as a H2?

believable. judging from the Agera / Zonda photo above, the Zonda looks even wider!

yep scanning quickly on interwebs:

Koenigsegg: 78.6"
Zonda: 80.9"

Hummer H2: 81.2"

I'd love to see a shot of the Zonda from the same angle as the Koenigsegg.

best I could find quickly. the width of the Zonda is at the rear so it would be better to find a rear shot.

The broken irrigation line behind the Agera makes it look like the car is marking its territory.

Shoot would have been perfect with the Sterling Moss SLR.

I would guess (and probably be correct) that this shoot occurred before the Sterling Moss was in existence. back to you.

I assumed that at first, but wasn't sure.

Throwing in some personal preferences for a minute, absolutely love the new GS F-Sport. Would love to own one in a couple years when the kinks are worked out & the aftermarket has had time to expand.

There's been rumors for months now. Unfortunately, reports are showing that the IS-F sales haven't been great lately & the LF-A doesn't exactly connect to the cars it shares a brand with, so they're guessing that a GS-F may not be a high priority.

I think the F-Sport option will hold us over though with the bigger brakes, suspension, & staggered wheel setup. I do want to see it with a V8 in the future though.

In America we have Formula Fords. This is what they have in Germany.

It's a Formula 3. It's a Dallara chassis & the engines are either Mercedes or Volkswagen-supplied. According to Wiki, it costs around $500,000+ a year to race in Formula 3, & then there's Formula 2 & GP2 to go through before F1, itself.

Vettel was a racer in it for 2 seasons after a championship win in Formula BMW. He went on to 2 more seasons in Renault formula cars before eventually spending 1 year with BMW, 1 year with Toro Rosso, to where he is now.
