Need rehab. https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252498&goto=newpost Sat, 15 Aug 2026 02:43:05 GMT So I was on my way to test a bunch of BMWs and unfortunately I saw a Mercedes / Land Rover dealer displaying their Volvo EX90.

I sat inside it and now it's ruined my car ownership BMW predilection.

These things I cannot find in any BMW my country is able to sell me.
  • amazing sound system (Bowers and Wilkins atmos!) - only have HK and it's not good. (My G30 has B&W and yeah even that is worlds apart)
  • 3 adults across the middle row - X7 can't do that even (i have full sized 3 teenagers with ice hockey gear!)
  • round steering wheel that is not thick as a tree - i'm a simple man!
I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Meanwhile I'm gonna live off my M550i and I am desperately trying to find something stop me getting into the EX90 ... maybe need to focus on how bad touch screens are without physical buttons ... that's it! Just get a F90 Comp!

So far I've looked at the X3, iX3, X7, X5 M60i - the most relaxing was the iX3 !

Be warned, if you like sound systems and round things do not get into a EX90!

Because I got into one in April and it's ruined me... ]]> General Automotive (non-BMW) Talk + Photos/Videos G30M https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252498 <![CDATA[Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear]]> https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252477&goto=newpost Fri, 14 Aug 2026 22:40:10 GMT Apparently....

Sadair's Spear | Koenigsegg https://share.google/oAtLkBHCs7SmYTlOE



Quote:
The Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear is a street-legal, highly track-focused evolutionary successor to the Jesko platform. The unique name pays tribute to founder Christian von Koenigsegg’s father, Jesko, whose final racing horse in 1976 was named Sadair's Spear.Powertrain & Extreme PerformanceThe Engine: Powered by an evolution of Koenigsegg’s flat-plane 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8.Horsepower: Generates 1,300 hp on standard pump gas and spikes to a staggering 1,625 hp when running on E85 biofuel.Transmission: Backed by the revolutionary 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST).Track Superiority: During shakedown testing at Sweden's Gotland Ring, it shattered the existing lap record by being 1.1 seconds faster than the Jesko Attack.Aggressive Aerodynamics & Weight ReductionsMassive Wing: Outfitted with Koenigsegg’s largest-ever active, top-mounted double-blade rear wing to dramatically increase lower-speed downforce.Advanced Cooling: Modified front hoods, larger canards, and underbody strakes improve powertrain and intercooler cooling efficiency by 30%.Weight Shaving: Engineers stripped 77 lbs (35 kg) out of the car by removing heavy sound insulation and using ultra-lightweight mechanical and interior parts.Turbine Wheels: Rides on bespoke "Air Core" carbon fiber wheels featuring a turbine profile that aggressively sucks hot air away from the brakes while adding downforce.Extreme RarityProduction of the Sadair's Spear is strictly capped at only 30 units worldwide—and every single one was instantly sold out during its private preview.(Note: If you were instead referring to a brand-new August 2026 release, Koenigsegg also just unveiled the 1,600-hp Koenigsegg CCGT1 at Monterey Car Week, which honors their historic Le Mans GT1 racing heritage).

WOW.... 😳🔥

The Revuelto SV still uses a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 combined with three electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, but Lamborghini managed to eke out even more power.
The SV produces 1050 horsepower and 1051 pound-feet of torque, which is 49 more horsepower and seven pound-feet of torque.
That lofty output makes the 2027 Revuelto SV the most powerful production Lamborghini of all time.

I figured she meant the sport but I think she saw the Heritage model with the white roof? Regardless, I figured well lets just take a look at one because I never really thought about it as I'm a Jeep guy. We head to the Ford dealer to take a look at the full size Bronco and they have 3 Raptors of them in front of their store. My wife gets in and strangely she says that she can actually see out of the thing. I looked at the sticker and said lets just take a look at a lower trim. Well, any other trim, the interior is horrible, and I'm a Jeep guy lol. So back to the Raptor, does anyone own one? Any rants and raves? Any issues? Anything to look out for? It's insanely priced for a Ford product but hey, its 2026 and this thing looks like Master Chief would daily this thing to the office. ]]> General Automotive (non-BMW) Talk + Photos/Videos Bumpinjeep https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252219 The Bugatti Destrier: A Sculpture of Speed https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252163&goto=newpost Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:13:11 GMT Molsheim

Destrier, the third one-of-one creation of the Bugatti Programme Solitaire, transforms Bugatti's most extreme track machine, the Bolide, into a masterpiece of pure elegance. A Solitaire in the truest sense, it is a celebration of breathtaking proportion and beauty – a design of grace, dignity and style, conceived to endure: a creation destined to be passed from generation to generation, and to stand among the most significant designs in Bugatti's history.

Named after the finest and strongest type of medieval knight’s horse, the Destrier asks: what if the most extraordinary Bugatti engineering package ever created was untouched by wings, vents, and aerodynamic addenda, appreciated purely for its proportions? The result is a car standing just one meter tall, dramatically lower than any other Bugatti model. Its wheels – 20-inch at the front and 21 at the rear, a significant step up from the Bolide’s 18-inch items – appear monumental against a body pared back to its purest volumes.

n.b.: 8.0 liter W16 making 1,600PS.

Well.
Not necessarily my cup of tea. But I can appreciate the brands move and the ginormous market for vehicles this size and of course folks desiring the brand moniker.

Range Rover Breaks the Mold and Goes Low with the New Electric GT

JLR has announced a fifth member of the Range Rover family, and it's likely not what you think of when you envision a Range Rover.
The Range Rover GT prototype stretches the definition of an SUV "coupe" with its long and low proportions that give it sort of a sedan vibe.
The GT will ride on the company's new EMA architecture and will be powered by an electric powertrain; the production version should be revealed early next year.
If you crossed a Range Rover Velar with a Jaguar XF, it might come out looking something like the new Range Rover GT. That's because Jaguar Land Rover (now known as JLR) has envisioned a new type of crossover, stretching the Range Rover design ethos and draping it over a fastback body with an electric powertrain underneath.
Sport-utility sedans aren't a new concept, although they are a rare one, and we've seen models such as the Toyota Crown and the Volvo S60 Cross Country breach the barrier between car and SUV. Even in camouflage, you can see the Range Rover GT's swoopy roofline. Door-mounted rear-view mirrors and a strong shoulder line down the side accentuate the car's width.
The GT's interior is also unlike any other Range Rover. A minimalist design results in few physical buttons inside, and sustainable materials are used throughout in place of genuine leather or wood. While it is quite striking in its appearance, some of the areas of the center console are crafted from plastic that could stand to be upgraded or wrapped in the same textured fabric that lines the top of the dashboard.
The GT's steering wheel is much smaller in diameter than what you'll find in the full-size Range Rover SUV, and it takes a slightly ovoid shape. Relative to other new cars debuting in 2026, digital displays are kept to a minimum in the low-slung Range Rover. A slim gauge cluster is positioned ahead of the driver, and a rectangular infotainment display is perched in the center of the dash. A head-up display is standard.
Passenger space is generous in both rows, and a large, uninterrupted glass roof panel is overhead. The seats look a bit flat and uncontoured, but the cushioning is plush, and you easily sink into a comfortable position.
While a hybrid variant could join later on, JLR has only confirmed an electric powertrain so far. The company has also not released any details about the powertrain's output, nor has there been any word about driving range. We have to suspect a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup will be offered given that the GT is part of the Range Rover family.
