More than a few subscribers here used to be automotive writers. A few still are. If you don't know this story, it's stuff of legend and for sure takes me back to the year I wrote similar blurbs for a printed Auto Trader catalogue. Didn't get fired but wasn't asked back ;)This short video is all you need to know—and as exciting as the thumbnail promises.
The name may suggest a new dance move or polyester blend, but this meaty 2007 Porsche Cayenne has been Ruf’d up with more power, wider bodywork, and more than 100,000kms. Could be worse: only premium for the 600 horsepower 4.5-liter turbocharged V8 engine & no tow hook to drag your 911 GT3 to the track. Ruf Dakara via mobile.de. €89,950Kind of cheating here that this is news, but a few Formula 1 teams have made it news. Allegedly. This short and sweet explainer is all you need to know before the FIA amends the rules (again) before the upcoming French GP in a few weeks. Any significant changes here to the floor area and how deflection is measured may nerf the performance of a few top teams, but not Mercedes-AMG. It was apparently "shocked" this may have been exploited for performance.
