R8
The R8 is one of my all time dream cars. I am an automotive engineer so I knew that no older cars would be able to pull off the 4 intersecting lines and keep that tight of tolerances so figured it was newer and had to be a supercar of some sort, so that was how I arrived at my guess.

But I never would have gotten it with out the headlamp corner.

I just can't believe your Suby gets 53mpg! Must be a model not available in the states.

Interesting. When I looked at the 1st pic, I wasn't of the opinion that the tolerances looked that great.

Never-the-less, great call!

As in diesel or even turbodiesel (which together account for roughly half of the car market in Europe).

The Wall Street Journal just had a fun review:

and in the comments section was a link to this video, which is a combo of fascinating and horrifying to watch:

I cant watch videos like that anymore. So much fun im sure but thats a life on the line, well or a few. As a car driver, who pushes a bikerider like that? if something happen id never get over that. Hardly news with reckless drivers just amazed at how little is done to stop it tbh.
