The Mustang's V8 sounds spectacular, I love it 🥹🥹🥹

😎😎😎👍👍very greath video, thanks for show

Aston GT3 EVO is probably the best looking car on the grid rn

Blue skyline has Bridgestone potenza sticker on spoiler but uses Goodyear eagle tyres lmao

I very much like Camaro GT4.R, but it seems like it's not used anymore.

### The Quest for Zero Friction Windshields: Current State and Future Prospects The automotive industry has long sought to improve windshield technology, aiming for surfaces that resist dirt and water, reduce glare, and improve visibility under various conditions. Achieving a state of "zero friction" for windshields could revolutionize vehicle maintenance and safety, but how close are we to this goal? #### Current Technologies #### Hydrophobic Coatings Hydrophobic coatings have been a significant advancement in reducing the need for frequent windshield cleaning. These coatings repel water, causing it to form beads that easily roll off the glass surface, taking dirt with them. While effective, hydrophobic coatings have limitations. They tend to wear off over time, necessitating regular reapplication to maintain their properties【6†source】. #### Hydrophilic Coatings In contrast, hydrophilic coatings attract water, spreading it evenly across the surface. This characteristic helps in preventing fogging and allows dirt to be washed away more easily. Hydrophilic coatings are generally more durable than hydrophobic ones, offering longer-lasting performance and reducing maintenance needs【6†source】. #### Multifunctional Nanotextured Surfaces A groundbreaking development from researchers at MIT involves the creation of multifunctional glass surfaces using nanoscale textures. These surfaces, featuring an array of conical nanostructures, provide combined benefits of hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. Inspired by natural surfaces like lotus leaves and insect eyes, these nanotextured glasses are highly resistant to dirt, water, and fogging【5†source】. The technology, described in a study published in *ACS Nano*, uses a novel fabrication method involving coating and etching techniques adapted from the semiconductor industry. The resulting surface is not only self-cleaning but also minimizes reflective losses, thereby improving visibility and safety under various lighting conditions【5†source】. ### Future Prospects #### Towards Zero Friction Achieving true zero friction for windshields would mean creating surfaces that are entirely self-cleaning, impervious to dirt, and free from any form of resistance to water or grime. The multifunctional nanostructured surfaces developed by MIT researchers are a significant step towards this goal. The next challenge lies in scaling these technologies for mass production at an affordable cost. #### Economic Viability For these advanced surfaces to become mainstream, the cost of production must be reduced. The MIT team suggests that their fabrication method could be adapted to roll-to-roll processing, which would allow the surfaces to be produced more efficiently and at a lower cost. This approach could make zero friction windshields a feasible option for widespread use in the automotive industry【5†source】. #### Testing and Durability Long-term testing is crucial to ensure these surfaces can withstand real-world conditions, including extreme weather, physical impacts, and prolonged exposure to environmental pollutants. Early indications suggest that the nanoscale structures are robust, but further testing will be needed to confirm their durability over the lifespan of a vehicle【5†source】. ### Conclusion The pursuit of zero friction windshields is an exciting frontier in automotive technology. With advances in hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings and the innovative use of nanotechnology, we are closer than ever to realizing this vision. The future of automotive windshields promises greater safety, less maintenance, and improved driving experiences. As research progresses and production methods evolve, zero friction windshields could soon become a standard feature in vehicles worldwide.

I like the homage livery pf the 720s

No porsche gt3? In British gt?

Brap brap brap

Não tem como comparar. Essa fórmula 1 com a de hoje. A do passado. Emoção pura. Olha esse ruído do motor. Encantador

0:10 damn thats fast

My god that sequence, the guy leaving the pits in his 412 t2 with tire stickers still on... That was my childhood. Watching early/mid 90s F1, drivers leaving pits with stickers on for everybody to see they just got out of the pit.

These drivers seem to be late for church. C'mon guys...leave a bit earlier and stop endangering the general public.

proper racing

Weird that the E89 is included, such a rough sounding engine. Should be replaced by 1970s formula 2 engine sound.

I have never heard a car so loud than Z4 that makes your ears pop. What a car I miss it

🏁🏁🏁🏁👏👏👏👏

Completely forgotten car, it deserved more

We all searched for this

Do they use some kind of mufflers (because of dezibel regulations) or are these completeley open exhausts?

Pro drivers are so lucky, most people would pay to drive these works of art.

996😍I listened to it at home on large speakers😅👍

No corvette? C6.R? Come on. Lexus? AMG? Put the bmw with those beasts

I saw one of those at a local rally, it was one of the loudest cars

Engineer was just musician with speed

nice😍🥰

My dream car.

How can such a brutal car look so beautiful

I still distinctly remember seeing a black S7 Turbo at a Cars and Coffee about 5 years back. I even got to sit in a Ford GT Heritage Edition at that same event.

Yes Please!

Another Legend

Some contact at 5:06! 😳

Got to see these cars at Road Atlanta in the late 1990s. What a sound!

Sounds like a Nascar😍

Where is Belgia.....??

Americans only speak one language in their early 2000s racecars. Violence in a 427ci accent. And i love it.

My Unrealistic Dream Car, ❤❤❤

I saw an S7 in this livery at the 2002 Grand Prix of DC in 2002, I wonder if it is the same car.

Oh that Mazda gave me a headache, its screaming rotary engine was horrendous! The Jags much better ;-) And the 905's were stunning

Greggs logo in the rear lights for those UK viewers!?

Matra 670 1973 holds the fastest ever laprecord at SPA 163MPH with the best sound

1970s Matra makes everything else sound archaic

U misspelled word son

i am so jealous, bikes, savage sound and beer (i'm assuming later on fine appellations were had) : )

J'avais usé l'auto hebdo sur l'essai (sous la pluie) de la K3 Jargemeister de Bob Wollek, j'adore cette auto, elle est bestiale ❤

Guess the Gmc Vandura is a Chevy Van G20, the Chevys and GMCs are basically the same, very little difference, but GMC has always focused on pickup trucks, suvs and vans like this. Some really nice and rare finds here 👍

Best hypercar/lmdh. Not of a fan of cadillac as a brand but it's definetly my favorite car in wec/imsa

@1:28, was the second car really going that much faster? I wanna say it's sped up but I can't. The dude's face dips back and that doesn't look sped up. That second car was on a mission.

Sounds wonderful, but I miss the sound of that 7.0 liter c6 gtlm vette
