The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N blew Matt's mind for so many reasons you won't believe. Plus, what engines would we swap into which car if we had all the money and talent? That's what we're talking about today. Dream builds. Plus, Patreon questions about:

   Is it a good idea to finance an R34 GTR?

   When it is (and isn't) time to get out of a Ford and into a German car.

   WRX TR vs GR Corolla

   Our thoughts on the Mustang GTD's trunk.

   Why the 997 is the sweet spot for Porsche 911s.

   Do we care about celebrity car ownership?

   Should I buy a low-mile Forester in a boring color or a high-mileage one in an exciting color?

   Dupont Registry's purchase of Petrolicious

   EV depreciation

Matt calls in from the Bernardus hotel with our friend and the founder and CEO of Range Energy, Ali Javidan. Ali is an engineer and high-caliber driver, who shares with us his take on why the GT3 RS is so stiff, why adjustable dampers matter as much as springs; his experience driving in Aspen at the FAT ICE Race; how to durability test a semi-truck trailer; why batteries need to be liquid-cooled; and when to ignore rock chips.

Note: This show was recorded remotely with Matt and Ali calling into Zack at the studio. There were a lot of Wifi dropoffs and glitches but Zack did a bunch of hacking and stitching to remove those moments. As such, you might notice a few jumps and cuts. It was the best we could do.

How do you get the job of test driver? What's it like perfecting the fastest EV and ICE car? Miro knows. Miro Zrncevic is the test driver for Rimac, builder of the record-setting EV hypercar, the Nevera. Miro has been involved in Rimac since the beginning, though not in the way you might think.

In this episode we find out why Miro wanted to be a test driver; his education and work background; how he got the job; his thoughts on tuning steering; why a car has to lean a little bit; the dangers of driving 120MPH backwards; why a test driver and racing driver are not often the same person; his opinion on rear steer; the Bugatti V16 project; driving the Bugatti Bolide; and so much more.

What are 10 types of tech that make cars worse? That's what we're discussing with today's guest, Ed Zitron.

Ed Zitron is an author, journalist, and podcaster. He is CEO of EZPR, a national tech and business public relations agency. We love his newsletter ?Where?s your Ed At?? , which often covers tech, AI, and how both will fail to deliver. 
 

On this show we talk about how car marketing is changing; the Fisker financial situation; why Apple's headset sucks while being amazing; why your phone isn't a great key; and more!

What are the best EVs yet? Is charging getting better? Can the grid handle it? Which electric pickup would win in a cross-country race? Are batteries recyclable? All that and more with Kyle Connor.

Kyle Connor is a YouTuber in command of a whopping 17 different channels. He focused on EVs, covering the space comprehensively. He has road tripped, towed with, tested, charged, and driven more EVs than most people will in a lifetime. As such, he has excellent insights into why EVs have the problems that they do, the state of the charging situation, battery recycling, the grid, and more.

He recently completed a cross-country "race", where he and his co-hosts drove from Florida to Los Angeles in 4 electric pickup trucks. The results were literally susprising.

There are some cars out there that seemed like a good idea at the time but ended up failing. There are other cars that seem crazy on paper and were even worse in metal, but got built anyway. Today we're talking about 10 of history's automotive moon shots that failed to take hold. From odd propulsion choices to super cars that didn't deliver, overpriced economy badges to hypercars made obsolete by their maker, we cover it all.

What's the best bang for your buck right now, new or used? We've got ten cars you can buy that are a great value for the most fun and performance. 5 used cars, 5 new cars. Spoiler alert: the answer is not Miata. We'll explain why.

Plus, Matt talks about the all new Porsche Panamera's crazy dancing suspension and what it means for speed; we also discuss that Cyber Truck's steering/brake failure; the least-green cars of the year (one is an EV!); the flaws of "self-driving" companies; and what's wrong with the Mercedes SL43 AMG we have in the driveway.

Also, he and Matt got a behind-the-scenes tour of the Sphere in Las Vegas AND saw the U2 show. A verbal description doesn't do the show justice but it will make you want to attend.

Plus Q&A includes:

   How the 911 name is similar and different from AMG and M

   The closest experience to a $90K Boxster T

   Which F-Type is perfect for a new graduate

   Will there be barn finds in the future?

Morgan is a legendary company and for good reason. Yes, the cars are made of wood but the company has continued along while so many small companies have gone to rest.

Jon Wells has that job so many of us covet: car designer. With a very brief stop at TVR, Jon went right from university to the design department of Morgan, becoming part of the team that designed so of the best and fastest cars Morgan ever made. He also led the team that designed the new Super 3, the successor to the famous and unique Morgan 3-Wheeler. Jon explains his education, how the cars used to be designed before his time, the evolution of construction, how much wood is in the cars, why building a popular off-roader was such a surprise; and why the new Super 3 has a new engine.
 

Plus, we go around the table to list our Top 5 British roadsters of all time.

Why are Nissan GT-Rs so coveted? Why was it illegal to import them? Why did Japan build them in the first place? All that and more is covered in the excellent book, "Cult of GT-R, A Story of Crime, Obsession, and the World's Most Coveted Car". It is a detailed history of the Nissan GT-R, Japanese manufacturing, Japanese car culture, the world of import laws, and why the GT-R means so much to so many of us. The author, Ryan ZumMallen, joins us. https://www.carrarabooks.com/store/cult-of-gtr-book

When is a car "safe enough"? Turns out it's not such a simple answer. From a lack of software oversight to self-certification issues to more recalls (from every company) than you could imagine, building cars is challenging, especially as ADAS systems get more common and complicated. Phil Koopman is an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In the car realm, he is the writer of Safe Autonomy blog, covering self-driving technology.

His new book, "How Safe is Safe Enough? Measuring and Predicting Autonomous Vehicle Safety", analyzes the alleged safety improvements that autonomous cars will provide.

Nicole Johnson is a badass in so many ways. She was the first female to land a backflip in competition IN A MONSTER TRUCK. She was the first woman to cross the finish line at King of Hammers; 2x Rockcrawling Champion; competed in short course off-road racing; holds the title for most racing wins by a Rookie in a single season of Monster Jam.

Nicole educates us on how to stay off your roof; the crazy but-strangely-familiar technology is off-road brakes; how to backflip a monster truck; why the seat isn't comfortable; the unexpected difficulty driving a certain automatic transmission, and more!

Now she's got a YouTube show called "Nicole Johnson's Detour' where she drives everything from rare classics, fast Datsuns, a V12 cab-over truck, ultra-wide MGs, 1200HP VW Beetles, and Magnus Walker's 911s.

We have the Kyza himself live and in studio! Khyzyl is a vehicle designer with an inspirational story and designs that tend to go viral very quickly. He's started in the digital space as a video game vehicle designer, but his creations also exist in the metal in the form of body kits and complete cars. From concepts to body kits to resto mods, his skill is incredible and his creations one-of-a-kind.

On this show we talk about how his passion led to an unexpected job...and then another one; his love/hate relationship with learning new skills; how he transitioned from making labels to video game cars; moving from digital to tangible in the form of a creating a body kit company; and his newest project designing an entire car that you or I can actually buy.

Jens Sverdup is the Chairman and CCO of Zenvo Automotive, the Danish hypercar builder. He's been in the supercar industry for 25 years, spending time at Pagani, Koenigsegg, Rimac, Czinger, and now Zenvo.

On this episode we talk about what he learned at each of his previous posts, what drew him to those companies (instead of flash-in-the-pan competitors), and what Zenvo's incredibly powerful products are doing to separate themselves from the competition.
