Considering that a 1l 66hp petrol engine can get you to an alleged 97mph (eventually) in modern city cars, 210hp is more than enough to get into plenty of trouble. Admittedly, if you were to reach 97mph in a 1l Hyundai I10, it would probably be quite a terrifying 97mph. Side note: I'm kinda impressed by how much detail Hyundai go into on their website spec sheet (and how clearly it's displayed). Most brands force you to look at a pdf that contains eff all other than the most basic of info. Clearly someone screwed up on the rounding though... Perhaps the bigger question is why the hell would you store turning radius in double floating point precision? A normal float with *only* 7 decimal places would have been more than fine.
I'm actually intrigued by the idea of an super-plow.... (Well, if anybody had even thought of one in the first place...)
I like to imagine some poor engineer at Hyundai working out the turning radius to the nearest picometer. A unit so small it is commonly used to measure the sizes of individual atoms xD
Well, you'd have to lift it then, as you can see in the image. Plus, slap on some winter tires and it'll do well.
This. It'll do 0-60 in about 6.8 seconds (thanks to skinny little 215 tires and an open diff). Top speed is electronically limited to 115 MPH because the driveshaft will explode if it reaches it's actual top speed of about 135MPH. So yea, more than enough to get into some trouble vvvvvvvvv
Time for some late night pseudo physics. Force is generally measured as mass*velocity. Snow plows tend to weigh a lot (and for good reason). So I guess as long as the driver is wearing a neck brace, they should be able to plow a road to a similar level as an actual snow plow given enough time xD So sure, let's replace snow plows with super cars. In the UK they would spend most of the year parked up anyway. Which is what most supercars do. And even if it does snow, they will probably be on strike or decide that the weather is too bad to go out. Could even get some income from bringing the plows to events andsstore them on display, with a visitor fee to cover costs.
Plus, I'd recommend a suspension lift. Considering that if it was at normal height, the plow would be in an awkward position, and would probably fail to plow as well as an normal snow plow.
I don't know. I can't envision a Lamborghini snow plow in my head. It sounds to me like it wouldn't work.
Well, an supercar snow plow doesn't seem to be an non-viewed concept. Also, here's an idea of an "different" representation of an Lamborghini snow plow.
I think the AC Cobra in that video demonstrates my point. Maybe they could handle very light dustings, but as for bigger densities, it would just become too much for the car to handle. Plowing snow is more of a job for trucks. They're better designed for it.
Well, we are getting the Urus next year... maybe it could be the best contender for an snow plow... unless the LM can beat the Urus at that.
If you really want a Lamborghini snow plow. Just buy a Lamborghini tractor and put a snow plow on it.
I mean, I do have farm cousins, but I always thought the fact that tractors are more optimised for pushing/pulling stuff than cars was common sense. There is a reason tractors, not SUVs, are used in agriculture.
i like it when car manufacturers do this kind of stuff as when you want to make a realistic engine in automation you can find data on more similar cars. Also another thing i like is that subaru germany has all its brochures as a pdf on its site even the older ones like the Subaru SVX and so on
How I react to seeing certain cars (all of these occasions actually happened in real life): Yes I have a weird taste in cars.
I wouldn't subject an LM002 to do snowplowing, there's only 328 left in the world, and they go for around $400,000, especially considering that if something does break, where are you going to find replacement parts? Can't just simply swing by the Lamborghini dealership and go "Hi, do you have the front suspension for a late 80's to early 90's Lamborghini LM002 do you?" Obviously not, I mean, there's so little in the world, there isn't like, warehouses full of LM002 parts that are readily available, even compared to a Huracan, or an Aventador. Yes, that video from DailyDrivenExotics using his Huracan as a snowplow is entertainment, not saying it's impossible, but, is it really worth it? No. I mean, really, if you still want something that's a still technically a Lamborghini, but can plow snow banks and etc without breaking a sweat? A fully loaded one goes for about $146,000. Not exactly cheap, but a hell of ALOT cheaper than a LM002.
