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. Transverse engines Transverse engines are mounted perpendicularly to the direction of travel, lying horizontally within the engine bay. This is predominantly used in front-engined, front-wheel drive setups but has also been implemented i...

How Twin-clutch Transmission Works (DSG)

The dual-clutch transmission, also known as the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) or twin-clutch transmission, is an automated transmission that can change gears faster than any other geared transmission. Dual clutch transmissions deliver more power and better control than conventional automatic transmission and faster performance than manual transmission. 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. DRIVING A CAR WITH A TWIN-CLUTCH / DSG TRANSMISSION. Twin-clutch equipped cars do not have a clutch pedal; the clutch is engaged and disengaged automatically. The twin-clutch transmissions bridge uses an automatic-style shift selector with a traditional P-R-N-D or P-R-N-D-S (Sport) shift pattern. In "Drive" or "Sport" mode, the dual-clutch transmission operates as a regular automatic. In "Drive" mode, the transmission...

Top 7 Cars with 200 Stock Horsepower

A decade or two ago you would have had to buy a sports car (and opt for the most powerful engine) if you wanted a vehicle with more than 200 horsepower, but today, that amount of power comes standard in a wide range of cars, from compact luxury cars to open-top sports cars. I have narrowed the list down to the top 7 of my favorites, and all have more than 200 horsepower (and less than 250) from the standard engine that comes in the base trim level. Read on to see our list of top 7 cars with 200 horsepower stock, sorted by power. Audi TT The Audi TT is a 2-door sports car powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that makes 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. All models use a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels using the quattro all-wheel drive system, making the TT a surprisingly good (and fun) all-weather car. Fuel economy is rated at 26 miles per gallon combined (using premium fuel) and the run to 60 miles per hour takes 5.3...
