It’s a FRESH new week and that means it’s time for a FRESH new Fast Lane
Daily episode.
Today we discuss:
– #Toyota Supra replacement!
– #Acura #NSX catches fire on the Nurburgring.
– #McLaren P1 getting a hardcore GTR model.
– Commenter of the week time!
– Derek DeAngelis attending rave parties in Belmar.
– Matt the Intern still asking if he’s going to get paid!
– Max shaves his big beard.
– Erica refuses to say torque!
– Alan gets angry while filming a promo.
– Tom grows a bigger beard.
– Omar’s feeling big, Like not…not big in the sense of weight, You know
what I mean…like gaining weight..or nothing like that, like colossal.

How long are you doing the facts for?
Seems like Derek had a nice sunday. A little hungover maybe? =) Regardless,
still a great show.
Are they really going to fuckin ruin the Supra name with this pissy little
4 cylinder electric fucking garbage?? What the fuck is Toyota thinking!! I
want a modern version of the monster sitting in my garage. It’s going to be
like the Honda CR-Z, everyone was excited for a CRX revival and they ruined
it with a god damn hybrid motor.
Holy sh*t the back of the acura nsx looks the same of the jester from gta5
just look
#fldqofthed Because racecar!
As a physics guy it’s really quite simple… The battery in supercars store
INCREDIBLE amounts of raw energy in chemical potential energy form. In
addition the rate the energy extracted/put back is so high and the thermal
loads and demands are so high that if there is even the tiniest problem
under a high stress situation the whole thing can just explode and/or catch
fire. Batteries/petrol are the same in that they are literally just stores
of potential energy. Ever heard of a solar/wind powered car
exploding/catching fire?
#FLDQoftheD The term “Supercar” is too narrowly used, citing AMG SLS,
Dodge Viper, Upper tier Corvettes Z06/Zo7/ZR-1, Aston Martin V12 Vanqiuish,
among others. What you are really eluding to are Rear Midship Engine (RMR)
layout sports cars.
It is an engineering ERROR. Despite being very infrequent, American RMR
sports cars (Ford GT, Mosler MT900 series, SSC UA and Tuatara, Rossion Q1
don’t catch fire due to overheat, from the factory, with ONE Exception, the
1984 Fiero. Note: I said sports cars not super cars. Even so, it is easy to
cause and overheat fire situation, because the cooling systems in RMR and
RR cars are so particular and have to be filled up absolutely properly.
This is also exasperated by the cars being designed increasingly around
fashion instead of function. Make it look good instead of run good. Less
effective scoops to let cooler air in, smaller less effective vents to let
heat out, and tighter less free-flowing engine bays that keep heat in, plus
a lot of very flammable (Inflammable? Look it up and you’ll understand me
consternation) materials right next to the engine. That is NOT taking into
consideration the Radiator whcih may not have sufficient capacity and flow,
and may not have adequate coolant in the first place.
To my knowledge, Front and Front mid-engine Rear drive (FR and FMR) sports
cars do not catch fire due to overheat, from the factory.
That is not to say that European and Asian car makers can not avoid this.
They clearly can and have in the past. But the cause for their fires is
really pretty obvious. The engines get too hot and have no way to dump the
heat except to set the surrounding car on fire.
Sloppy engineering. Straight up.
Damnit, i was hoping the Supra would have a V8. Now its just a fancy
looking prius……
Hybrids aren’t the future, hydrogen is the future. Stop making hybrids.
Pancakes are delicious!
Derek D, I have a question do you think putting a Ferrari 500gto engine and
gear box in my 2002 Mercedes s320 cdi will woth it or should I go for a
1000bhp+ stage 4 kit ?
The Lagonda looks great in this one shot we have. You’re crazy Derek. Too
bad I’ll never get to see one in person.
i guess you could say ……that nsx was (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) in a hot
lap YEAHHHHHHH
Hello
Hey FLD, how come the cow doesn’t have a tail?
I tell you, some of these questions. Lol
spotting ugly is not your strength, derek.
Supercars these days have reached a level so high, so abnormal and so
blasphemous that physics and nature declared war on them by lighting them
on fire. The 911 gt3, the Gallardo and most recently the 2016 NSX have all
fallen victim. But there is no turning back….
#FLDQofthD pancake makers in cars :p
Huge fixed wing on the p1 GTR. Looks so mean. Hopefully Jay Leno buys one
then I can see it in Cali!
commmennnnnts
Fldqofthed More power – more energy – MORE FIRE!!!!
I think its pushing current battery tech to new – and potentially unstable
– frontiers. Heat from the engine maybe pushing it to where they’ll ignite.
I tell ya, if the lagonda is anything like the old one, with its Chrysler
440 motor, it will be a POS and break down all the time. It’s like Chevy
bringing back the Monza or Ford bringing back the Mustang II or Pinto. It
was definitely not Aston’s best work.
#FLDQoftheD
If you notice the only super cars you see catching on fire is the ones
that dumb ass’s are trying to integrate hybrid electric shit into for no
good reason . you don’t see a corvette, viper , or SLS along with
countless others catching fire and that’s because people aren’t trying to
make them something their not.
Bmw and Toyota have ruined the Supra…they all should be slapped. Now
would have been the time to drop in a v8 which thhe Supra should have had a
long time ago…smh…keep your batteries and give me cubic inches…and
maybe a turbo or two
THE NSX IS THE JESTER FROM GTA 5
Dammit toyota why 4 cylinder…
Why why why
Now it’s gonna be a fart can exhaust note
Leave the economy to your gay Prius
#fldqofthed i think supercars are more likely to be track tested or just
pushed harder in general than regular cars. that increases the probility it
will catch fire. its also because high powered engines make more heat.
Derek D. question for you; bro do you even lift?
350hp or 315hp?
I want a muffin button! Way more useful than pancakes.
Derek you forgot the sesto elemento sound effect!!!!! now you have to do it
again!
#FLDQoftheD It seems like it’s always a problem with glue or the engine.
But I wouldn’t say the NSX prototype would count as it isn’t a production
car, they were testing the car, I’m sure when they test cars now all the
info is going to computers just like all the data from an f1 car, so I’m
sure they know what happened and how to fix it already probably even that
day.
Finally I understand the cow…
Don’t all supercars need to have one example that burns to the ground, you
know, to be officially a supercar?
Derek D! WTF!? No historic event happened today or something?? Disappointed
but love the show!
Hearing 4 cylinder turbo nowadays is worst than hearing LSx! A supra 4
banger breaks my heart.
