I want to see more on his Escort:
There's little to no place left for ICE extravaganza, we need Gordon to work on making EVs extraordinary.
And...
Hahahahaaaa!!!! something relevant to all of us!
Why? If it’s already where it should be on the left... Right side indicator stalks are bloody annoying!

Is that V12 a derivative/smaller version of the Aston Martin Valkyrie motor?

That's a lot of bespoke Cosworth na v12 for only 300 odd cars. Surely they must share some architecture.

There's a lot of money being chucked around, don't forget.
Each T.50 is £2.5m+

They share 12 pistons, arranged in two banks of 6 with a V angle of 65 odd degrees, give or take.......
We're talking about Gordon Murray and Adrian Newey here, both with the ambition of creating the ultimate driving experience.

Watching the Autocar video on the T50 and Murray says he actually got his engineers to benchmark it against the Alpine - simple double wishbones, no tricky dampers, good travel and soft springs.

Honestly, if someone waved the keys to an A110, one of those new 4 litre Caymans and an M2 Competition in front of me and told me to choose........ I'd choose an M2.
There's just something about them. Maybe it's the noise. Maybe it's videos of Chris Harris driving them in the oversteer olympics. Maybe it's just their presence and the way they always sit resentfully parked glowering at passers by and sucking stray cats into their intakes when no one's looking (educated guess). Either way, want.

Bit harsh. The 928 was actually meant to be the replacement for the 911, but people kept wanting 911s and buying them which confused Porsche so they didn't really know how to market both simultaneously. End result being it got nudged into a GT role and 99% of them came with slaggy autos. With a manual they're apparently properly good fun.
They weren't bad but not a patch on things you can buy today. More a tourer than GT. Still a bit soggy but at least they kept the back behind the front in corners.

Oh yeah, my soul was crushed slightly when I read contemporary (read: mid 90s) reviews that had them getting outclassed by Supras. I still have a massive soft spot for them though, one was the first remotely exotic car I got a ride in as a kid and the beginning of my love affair with all things Porsche. They also haven't aged a bit either and remain the only sports car to ever win European Car of the Year, which probably doesn't count for much but shut up.
If I was mega loaded to the point of setting money on fire to keep warm I'd set up a restoration / reimagining company a la Singer but for 928s. Convert them all to manual, better suspension, make them the car they always could've been....
911s, sadly, are technology over common sense. I still love them though. I just would have liked them to go mid engined. A boxster would make a nice track car but couldnt see me in one of these or a cayman day to day. I need 4 seats on occasion so that rules out the proper sports beasts. If not I reckon my mates GT3RS would be sitting in the carport instead of going to Melbourne last year. 928 would be ok but there are so many other options it makes them hard to go for.
Still thinking of a repowered resuspended spridget at some point as a play thing.
Still pissed Ford pulled the next Focus RS, my name was down for one.
