TRIVIA!!!!

villeneuve (sp)?

Graham Hill also competed at LeMans driving a car with a unique engine package.

What American-made race car featured a similar power source?

Chrysler with a turbine? I think it was called teh patriot. I am not sure if that car ever raced.

There was also a car that won Indy with a diesel, but that can't be it because a lot of cars run with diesels now.

In reply to wvumtnbkr:

Close, but no cigar..............

Gilles unfortunately died without winning the World Championship. IIRC, the only father/son combo is Graham and Damon Hill.

EDIT: If it ain't the turbine, I don't know the answer to the other one..

In reply to friedgreencorrado:

Here's a clue - there was more than one turbine-powered race car.........

Howmet TX.

You now have the baton, sir!

What non-Alfa Romeo vehicle also uses a rear transaxle and De Dion rear suspension?

Lancia

Got a model?

I was actually not aware that Lancia did, I was looking for a non-Italian car. But come up with the model and you win.

I was thinking the Fulva, but not sure. i also believe Citreon built a model or two with the DeDion rear suspension, and I was also thinking Peugeot. And there's one more Road and Track profiled back in the 60s, that was a bit odd for the manufacturer, but I can't remember who it was--my mind's eye can see it, but no model or manufacturer name.

I don't think any Citroen or Peugeots that were DeDion and a rear transaxle.

You may be thinking of a Rover P6, it had a DeDion, but not a rear transaxle either.

Yeah, your right with the rear transaxle. I can "see" the car on the page, but not the name. Ugh, getting older sucks.

Volvo 300!

How did I not know this? I even worked for Howmet once upon a time ...

Pretty sure I got that one so...

...What do a Subaru SVX and a Yugo have in common (other than me) ?

I believe both were styled by Guigario (I can't remember how to spell it)

Edit: You were correct, sir.

^^^^^ beat me by 3 min.

Correct, sir.

Both were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (along with the VW Rabbit, the Ferrari 250 GT, the DeTomaso Mangusta, and the lowly Hundai Sonata, among a host of others).

Back at 'ya, m4ff3w.

What was the first vehicle to use Motronic fuel injection with a MAP sensor instead of an AFM (flappy door)

Late 944?

Nope.

An Audi turbo of some sort?

Mercedes 2.3 16v

I cant remember the name exactly, but the small mercedes that competed against the first gen M3.

^totally a guess.
