Not sure if you bought one or not by now but my wife has the CX-30 and it’s a good car in general with not much bite to the engine power. Well not here in uk anyway. The Mazda red colour is gorgeous though.
Hello friend, I already bought a Mazda Cx 5 Grand touring, white color. The car agency delivers it to me in 2 weeks.

What engine will it have and what country you in? Mazda are generally great from what I see. I was really quite surprised at the quality of the CX-30

Yea I like it a lot. I am taking it on a road trip next week so will give it a good run (over 500miles). The only complaint I have about it is the little bit of lag when you put your foot down but its fine what it is. Really comfortable but can be fun to drive too. Maybe one day I get the Type R hehe

I normally don't whip out my phone for anything but my dream car decided to grace me with it's presence today. American muscle is awesome when it's done right.

i5 m60 lease here. pretty good car. a little big for a single male. boost is fast. i like the design but that is subjective. tech is better than the ‘23 230i i had, main UI/apple car play runs much smoother.
 


The Lamborghini Temerario looks (and sounds) amazing. Looks a bit cyberpunk 2077-ish imho.


You know I'm so sick of flat screens all over the cockpit. I don't mind the speedo being 1 giant screen but don't put the climate controls and other car functions into a touch screen especially in a car like this.
If you're giving it the beans when do you have the time to take your eyes off the wheel to adjust the climate especially in a car like this?

Leaving the actual dials and buttons will give cars like this a nice race like tactile feel. Like switching on the afterburners or igniting the graviton drive.

Unfortunately Lamborghini for me now as a brand is just associated with spoiled rich kids and YouTubers/tik tokers who then go and write them off after about 2 days of ownership.
 
Aston put better looking sport cars than Ferrari on the road.today. It's just a shame that they can't forge their own engines. Should have bought Cosworth a long time ago.

3 mil for a V6

Wow

Disappointing indeed when we have Cosworth pumping out V16s for Mr. Rimac while still complying with the new EU regs.

They also messed up the front end design.

Non of this would matter and they probably already sold all 800 units regardless.

Weight is the main concern at first glance....

125kg more for 70hp less that the Mclaren W1

I know that suspension is quite special in there but I just don't know if they can hide that weight

This is Ferrari, it will make more power than the paper says it has and 125kg is more than offset by the AWD drive. This will be way faster on the track than the new W1.

I think the V6 is the wrong move for their flagship hypercar. They should've gone with their glorious V12 revving to 10k. La Ferrari was my favourite of the holy trinity due to its engine

More and more these insane power figures and 0-60 times become meaningless, especially with the dawn of EVs. Now it's more about emotion and driver involvement. Of course they won't bring back a manual but at least keep that opera singing V12 while it's still in production, just seems daft not to.

Even Ferrari has to uphold CO2 regulations

The McLaren F1 is usually considered the first hypercar with an engine capable of producing 600+hp. The 12cilindri at 800+hp far surpasses that.
The Mclaren F1 was made in 1992 lol, standards have changed. From all reviews the cilindri is more of a GT cruiser as they've soften it off compared to the manic 812
