http://jalopnik.com/mercedes-amgs-street-legal-f1-car-will-have-a-top-speed-1798694704

Mercedes AMG is developing a 'Formula 1 car for the road' with 1000hp, 220mph top speed, etc etc. Should be pretty awesome considering that they have the best car on the field right now.

But, this is what gets me upset. For some reason Jalopnik thought it would be good to bring on women as writers, which would be fantastic if these women actually gave a shit about cars, but instead we get opinions like this

>The thing is, it’s kind of silly to say that. You’re not going to pass a speed-limit sign in a rural desert that says “IDK, do whatever you want,” so paying $3 million for 1,000 horses and 217 mph seems like a huge, silly waste of money for nothing other than the Instagram props and the occasional track day. It feels that way with any ridiculous supercar that’ll never let you reach its full potential in daily life.

What the fuck. Why would a site that is dedicated to the awesomeness of the automobile consider it a good idea to bring on writers that want to talk down about how 'silly' it would be to build a car that will be designed in such an extreme philosophy (which is kinda what the automobile world needs right now). Jalopnik has been dying a slow death for a few years now, but it's official that the whole thing is going to be put to rest pretty soon.

objectively correct
unless you're a pro race driver you can't drive this road legal race car anywhere close to its limits

More bullshit that only rich people and teenagers would care about, there are a boatload of 1,000+ hp 3 million hypercars out there already, woop de doo another one has come along.

What did you want? Some dude to tell you how awesome it is? You know how awesome it is already, when has jalopnik ever had good writers anyway? Each article reads like a high school dropout's first writing job that he got through his buddies.

It's still faster, even if your cornering speeds are more suited to a GT86 on prius tires.

If you think a $3 million supercar is "silly" you can't afford to buy one, let alone own one. Sorry. If you are into cars and think this is dumb you have some cognitive dissonance going on and should consider reclassifying yourself as a bus enthusiast.

Why don't you just buy a GT3 car at this point?

>implying people buying multi-million dollar hypercars track them
they just drive them around London during peak traffic hours, obnoxiously revving the piss out of them for maximum attention from car "vloggers"

>BMW: yes here you go have a race (WSBK) winning motorcycle only $15,500
>Mercedes: We'll sell you A REAL RACE CAR but it'll be made to the specs of a rich man's sport and cost 3 million

Should have let BMW do this. We'd get a $30,000 go kart that could get US plates on it instead of a $3,000,000 gokart that probably won't ever be allowed outside of the burgerring.

I guarantee no one who buys this will be physically able to do that unless they already have a super license.

Mercedes will probably package some sort of driving tuition program with the car, if not fully running from the factory like Ferraris FX program

>>17805399
You only need a license for wheel to wheel because racing is run by jews. Chasing laptimes is open for everyone because racing is co-run by whites.

>If you think a $3 million supercar is "silly" you can't afford to buy one, let alone own one.

I always thought I could easily afford to buy and own a 3 million dollar hyper car, until I was faced with this remarkable post right here. Thank you for opening my eyes you brilliant philosopher.
