Automotive / Cars & Trucks / supercars
Italian term or phrase: i tutor e velox
When talking about 2 "super cars" please see below, thanks

“Osti, sono enormi…”, “Quanto le custarà?
80-90 mila euri…”, “Che roba!
Avran 500 cv”.
Non manca la sentenza del solito saggio:
“Cosa te ne fai di tutta quella potenza?
Con tutti i tutor e velox che ci sono…”.

speed cameras
Explanation:
I think in context 'with all the speed cameras nowadays' or something like that. Tutor is an average speed system on (some) Italian motorways (you can tell which ones because they're not lined with corpses), velox is just an ordinary fixed speed camera

neutral  Simon Lewis: sounds a bit wordy... the tutor IS essentially that, but the way they're speaking is not that wordy

  -> I can agree with that. Mine was more of a definition than a contextualized traslation. Sorry Beatriz
