Buy This "Baby Driver" Stunt Car And Plan Your Own Rhythm-Augmented Bank Heist

Last summer, a 2006 Subaru WRX stunt car used in the movie Baby Driver appeared on eBay, garnering tons of attention from gearheads and movie fans alike. That car, which was converted to rear-wheel drive and upgraded with a bigger turbo, ended up selling for over $69,000. Now, there's another Baby Driver WRX stunt car for sale, and this one sounds a whole lot more capable.

Welcome to You Must Buy, our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan.

This 2006 Subaru WRX was one of the cars used in the movie's opening bank robbery scene, but unlike the previously-mentioned eBay car, this one retains its factory all-wheel drive. A complete STI drivetrain swap, upgraded differentials, forged pistons, an upgraded Exedy clutch, and a hydraulic handbrake are among the modifications listed.

Cosmetically, the car looks incredibly well put-together, especially for a stunt car post-production. It's capable, yet subtle—exactly what Edgar Wright intended for the role.

The car is said to be perfectly functional, and will come a build sheet, receipts, and matched screenshots from the movie included. It'll be sold through Mecum Auctions during the firm's Houston 2018 event in April with no reserve. There's no price estimate listed, but we have a pretty good idea of what the car will sell for judging by the last car's sale price.

Transverse Vs Longitudinal Engines: The Pros And Cons

The way in which an engine is orientated can have a huge influence on the rest of a car’s design. Should the car be rear-wheel drive? What size of engine is expected? Are there space issues that could influence which way the engine lies? All these questions have to be answered by the engineers responsible for the car, as the powertrain setup can have a large impact on how the car goes, handles and stops. Looking at front-engined cars, the two possible orientations are longitudinal and transverse, with each having its own benefits and drawbacks that can govern which is chosen for the car at hand. In-light of this engineering decision, here’s a basic guide to the features of each engine layout and which is best for different applications.

How Twin-clutch Transmission Works (DSG)

Originally marketed by Volkswagen as the DSG and Audi as the S-Tronic, dual-clutch transmissions are now offered by several automakers, including Ford, Mitsubishi, Smart, Hyundai and Porsche.
