The worst-performing car needs 1,400 meters to perform the same tasks for which the best-performing car only needs 300 meters.

The iX isn't doing too well in this test
Unfortunately extremely poorly in other areas as well. I’m sure more to come on this story, but incredibly sad.

That's why I don't like touch/haptic feedback crap.

I prefer function over form.

Carfection once again did a video with AP regarding another GT. Of course, this time is the 992 GT3 RS.

So they took out Chalk for... Ice Grey Metallic?

Also, the new screen design for the G8x cars looks... not great. If BMW is trying to make their cars look literally like a video game, they are doing a very good job at it. It is a big no for me though.

There’s no point getting a GT3RS if you take off the wing. Might as well get a GT3 touring….

That duckbill though. Much like a regular GT3, I would put the wing on for any serious high speed/track driving, but for piddling around at legal speeds, the wing would be off and I would just drive around with the duckbill. I hate the active aero wing of the Carrera's and GT3 Touring. I much prefer duckbills/fixed wings (…although I do like the TT/S active aero set-up).

Getting a GT3RS for that purpose is a complete waste of good machinery, and of good money...

Cheaper to buy a GT3 touring and replace the rear spoiler with a ducktail.

You would think with with the LCI they might have done something with the front end, but I couldn’t agree more with the interior screen. Just not feeling it at all.

And admit they were wrong? Nobody does that any longer except for the plebs, the higher ups just double down on the mistakes and call everyone else stupid.
