4WD

V12's

 

Oh yeah... I quite like a return to V12 power!

 

This or the current formula? what do you prefer?

V12 sounds nice, but not 4WD. That could make the cars too steady through the corners.

Have you even been watching F1 the last 20 years?

All cars are too steady through the corners as it is, it's like they are on rails, except for the cars in the rear of the grid.

In 2056 it will be a fuel cell full electric drive. V12 with a few electric engines is very wishful thinking and by then rather weak in power compared to E-drive. This car will look very old by then (the concept's got something from the lambo Sesto Elemento). I also wonder where he has put the fronthweels E-engine. And how you combine a V12 with a fuel tank, plus electric rear drive and the storage for electric energy in such a tight concept.

"The electricity is for traction out of slow corners, the V12 for massive amounts of opposite lock."

 

Well, that sounds very useful.

Actually I've been watching for the last 41 years and, yes, you're right, they are too steady as it is. I just don't want them to be steadier, or to lose any hope of making them less manageable again. I should have been clearer.

Another pointless, unrealistic 'futuristic' rendering based on misty-eyed nonsense from the past. Excellent.

 

The chances that V12s are still being used in 2056 is pretty much slim-to-nil, I'd wager. So this is pretty much pointless, as all other concept cars are.

 

[/Rant over]  ;)

This will look like as modern as a steam locomotive to the people living in 2056.

Okay should we now all pretend to like this? If a car looking like that appeared on the grid we'd all be falling over one another complaining about the rediculous aurbox, the side bumbers, the 4wd and hell probably the noise too. Becuase by then we'd gotten used to visiting races without earplugs.

Pointless, uncreative, uninteresting.
