Well its’ an SVX.
What’s that a Porsche?
No it’s a Ferrari.
Yeah. See the windows?
Yup
That makes it a Ferrari.
Oh.
It’s got Quad turbos too.
No way!
Yes one for each pair pistons,
double acting pistons.
An eight?
Yes but not just any eight.
It’s an inverted flat eight.
Lots of torque.
Really?
Yup 690 foot-pounds
Or is that pound feet?
I don’t know.
Me neither.
What are these stars for?
That’s the emblem from the secret Ferrari plant.
Gee that’s cool.
How fast is it?
Over 300 mph.
You drive that?
Yup everyday to work.
You get tickets?
Just from the cleaners.
No not that kind of ticket.
I meant speeding tickets.
Or those yeah I got one for 27 in a 25.
I got off cause the officer was drunk.
What’s that?
That duct work?
Yeah
Oh that takes the cold air from the AC
And dumps it into the turbo.
Why?
Extra 100 hp when it’s on.
Oh no
Yup
Faster?
Yup
400
Gets me to work in 10 minutes.
Wow cool.
Yup it’s a “special car”
Gets 50 MPG.
No way
Oh yes
It has special regenerative turbine wheels.
Stores energy from the passing slip stream
of the induced boundary layer
between the tire and the road.
That sounds advanced.
Yeah Rob it is.
No BS here to worry about.
It also has a cryogenic brake cooling system.
The car stops from 500 to 0 in 30 seconds.
Oh come on that’s BS.
Oh yeah you caught me.
31 seconds.
Yeah that’s better.
The only problem is the gas.
Gas what do you mean?
The cryogenic gas or liquid is LNG.
What’s LNG?
Liquid Natural Gas
It’s colder than ICE.
So that’s good for brakes?
Yeah But bad when the lines break
And the rotors are hot.
Leaves a huge flame behind the car.
