Lunch with Aston Martin's Lawrence Stroll, plus the world's best supercar #207

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the future of Aston Martin. Andrew spent a few hours with owner and chairman Lawrence Stroll last week, and the Canadian billionaire was keen to paint a picture of a car maker poised to burst into the light ? and profitability, at long last. There is much to be optimistic about, but how realistic are Stroll's claims that Aston's darkest days are in its past? Dan and Andrew also talk about the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren 750S, the finest supercars on sale today for £250,000.

Formula 1 at war #206

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the long history of Formula 1 scandals and conflicts from the 1960s to the present day. Be it bad tempered disputes with the FIA, teams threatening to quit and start a breakaway series, downright cheating, engineers exploiting loopholes in the regulations or drivers going on strike, F1 has been in near constant conflict with its stakeholders, and itself. These are the most extraordinary examples of money, power and influence doing their best to tear Formula 1 apart at the seams.

Dr Ulrich Eichhorn: creating the original Ford Focus and transforming Bentley #197

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by Dr Ulrich Eichhorn, a contributor to The Intercooler's digital car magazine and a heavy-hitter in automotive engineering circles. Dr Eichhorn was instrumental in the development of the game-changing Ford Focus, after which he was poached by Dr Ferdinand Piëch at the Volkswagen Group. There he led the development of a W12-powered supercar that inspired the Bugatti Veyron before joining Bentley to become its chief engineer. During a long stint in Crewe he oversaw the development of a number of new models that underpinned Bentley's astonishing transformation. Later he became the most senior engineer in the entire Volkswagen Group.


This is the fascinating story of one of the most decorated careers in modern automotive engineering, told by the man himself.

Why we would (mostly) choose sports cars over supercars #163

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss sports cars and why they would normally choose to drive one over a supercar.

Dan and Andrew also have news of a pair of new British sports cars in the Caterham EV Seven and Aston Martin DB12.
