Think SAAB.
While the 3-Door 900 Aero is the first SAAB that might come to mind, the coolest is probably the Aero Convertible. A full four seats, plus all the usual SAAB coolness added up to a pretty compelling package. The ultimate colour, was of course, yellow, but black and red were OK too.
The SAAB 900 Convertible wasn’t super fast, but it didn’t need to be, the style was the key, and the convertible had it in spades.
The engine bay was constrained though, so SAAB’s route to performance was turbocharging. All SAABs had been FWD too, though this tended to limit how much torque could be transferred to the road smoothly.
For SAAB, this was a high point. The marque was sold on to General Motors, the second generation 900, based of the GM Cavalier platform, never captured the hearts of the buying public as the Classic 900 model had.
Being October, which had always been the LUGNuts anniversary month, this 1987 SAAB 900 Turbo 16S Convertible has been built to the 85th challenge theme 'Like, Totally 80s'.
By popular demand, this model is available on my Rebrickable account.

This is one of the first images of the Slimline Torque Wrench in use. Andrew Mustard uses the SL1 on the wheel rim of Donald Campbell's Bluebird land speed record attempt car, Lake Eyre, Australia, 1963.
A manly sumo bot. For BBC 61 Bolt Vanderhuge. Just glad I got it done on time.

Lots of parts (like those awful lower arms) are really iffy and just goes to show you how much I had to rush to get this is.
Also hate the head, but it had to be human-like.
Jaybee took this module from an IBM eServer xSeries 346 (Type 8840) server; the Lithium ION Battery Pack and cache memory module of the RAID controller. The battery has blown up to twice its size, torquing the module out of shape and causing hardware issues. The one Euro coin is intended for scale reference.
I'm not entirely sure what Torque Vectoring is, but this is a new Range Rover Sport prototype vehicle seen near the JLR test facility at Gaydon, Warwickshire.
*THis was my son's prize xmas present. He and my husband worked long hours restoriing it. My husband put new red breaks and tires on it for him. left the original silver crome alone and added "trick" bars on the back for doing what boys do! LOL THe bike is circa 1978!
The bike was a hit! It's called a Torquer.....he thinks he's so cool now...and he is! :)
One of 5 with Cravens bodies and torque converters (140-44) taken in 1938, these added yet another touch of variety to the RCT fleet in the immediate prewar period. Seen at Littleborough Square on an express working to Todmorden jointly operated with Todmorden Joint Omnibus Committee. This only ever operated on Saturdays in my time, but may once have been more frequent?
We have to end with a bit of good news and here it is. 428 original large 1228 original large 12” torque converter has been cut apart and rebuilt. Its internals fins were dressed and worn items replaced it was then welded back closed. You can see here a new centre pump drive tube has been welded on. The old one had deep scoring on it, the new one has been ground to perfection by the specialists at Mackies. The unit was balanced and pressure tested successfully. It will stay with them for now as it will be mounted (I HOPE) to the gearbox and the whole unit tested on their dynamometer to ensure the gearbox is fully functional before I fit it back into the bus.
According to BMW and Franciscus van Meel, CEO BMW M GmbH, BMW M equates to emotion and motorsports. There is something magical, compelling, and artful about the BMW M performance division and its bevy of technological advancements. And with 50 years of engineering experience under its belt, the brand continues to evolve, innovate, and inspire with vehicles such as the all-new 2023 XM SAV, the first standalone BMW M since the venerable M1. Do you like the sound of 644-horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque from a 4.4-liter V8 plug-in hybrid drive system at your disposal? Well, starting at $159K, the XM's powerful capabilities are available for your expressive lifestyle.
On open roads the XM jumps out the gate like greyhounds; on curvaceous mountain paths it grips the pavement like geckos on a mission!
The BMW M brand’s identity is omnipresent from the magnificence of the vehicles to the symbolism of the logo to the fashionable gear. The division represents far more than just racing performance on the road and track; it embodies lifestyle statements that resonate with emotional energy. The all-new 2023 BMW XM certainly adds to the diversity of M vehicle choices and enhances the lineup with authority, respect, and integrity.
Here you can see the bigger 12” torque converter fitted into the gearbox. Two lengths of flat bar have been bent to hold the unit in the gearbox during transportation home. The converter is bolted to the engine and slid over a pair of lugs within the gearbox so just slides out in this condition. The four mounting pads will butt up against the flex plate. If you look super careful you will notice the bolt holes on the pads are offset and you can only fit it one way to the bus.
A variation to my original L-motor frame that has been lengthened in order to: 1) accommodate a 16t/24t gear ratio for more pulling power, 2) allow 6 xL wheels with 1 stud spacing, and 3) allow 6 L wheels with 2 stud spacing.
The Pneutorque PTM-92 provides up to 3500 N.m of torque accurately and with low levels of noise and vibration.
26 August 2009 - most of the foliage in this corner of the world is still lush and green. Exceptionally: this is a wildflower (a.k.a. weed) leaf that was morphing from green to red in mid July when the shot was taken.
UNHA OURIVERÍA PECULIAR
Aínda que con indubidables raíces na etapa anterior, é baixo o dominio romano cando parece florecer a orixinal ourivería castrexa.
O elemento paradigmático é o torques, colar ríxido ou semirríxido con remates en perilla, dobre escocia, etc., que aínda que responde a unha moda xeral europea, os exemplares galaicos distínguense pola súa singularidade.
Se o torques - e algún diadema - responde a unha clara tradición indíxena, outras xoias mostran deseños e técnicas que remiten ó Mediterráneo. É o caso das arracadas, que nas súas diferentes variantes ofrecen como trazo común un extraordinario virtuosismo técnico.
Na maior parte da ourivería do momento percíbese o desexo de ostentación, ben no gusto pola profusión decorativa, ben no emprego frecuente das aliaxes pobres e, mesmo, dos dourados.
The Ferrari California is a grand touring sports car that was launched by Ferrari at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It is a two door "2+2" hard top convertible. The California is powered by front-mid mounted gasoline direct injection 4.3 L (260 cu in) V8, sending a claimed 338 kW (460 PS; 453 hp) to the rear wheels. The car revives the "California" name used for the late-1950s Ferrari 250 GT.
The California represents a number of firsts for Ferrari:
The first front engined Ferrari with a V8
The first to feature a 7-speed dual clutch transmission
The first with a folding metal roof
The first with multi-link rear suspension
The first with direct petrol injection
Bosch produces the direct injection system. The engine displaces 4,297 cubic centimeters, delivering 338 kilowatts (460 horsepower) at 7,750 revs per minute, with a the maximum torque is 485 Newton meters at 5,000 revs per minute. The resulting 107 horsepower per litre of engine displacement is one of the highest for a naturally aspirated engine, as other manufacturers have used supercharging or turbocharging to reach similar power levels.
