I don't know where else to put this, but it does kind of speak to the advancement of technology in sports cars.
Not from 1990's to now, but almost 90 years of tech from what was bleeding edge in the late 1920's, to the best of the best of modern hypercars today.

The format is a bit of a ripoff from Road & Track's article on the Alfa Romeo Typo B P3 from last year (find that and read it if you want to learn some real automotive history).
But Harris does a credible job in explaining how that car must have been the Chiron of its day, and then some.
But it was as much about lightness and simplicity back then, as it is about power and wizardry today. Which is why it relates to this thread.
