Horsepower Heritage

"Sweet and fast" is a good way to describe the character of many classic Italian cars. Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Ferrari, Maserati and other auto makers created enduring machines infused with the national culture. In this episode we explore what makes them so special: things like design philosophy, emphasis on beautiful shapes, and performance-oriented engineering. Recorded live at the Petersen Automotive Museum's Dolce e Veloce Rally with guests Mike Baum of Macchinissima, automotive writer Robert Ross and collector Max Reyhani.Visit Macchinissima:  https://www.macchinissima.comSUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritageFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.Get in touch with Maurice:https://horsepowerheritage.com/contactSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!

The "Golden Age of Auto Racing" began after World War II and lasted until the early Seventies. It's a period that is frequently romanticized. But that thin veneer was shattered at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the afternoon of June 11, 1955, when a catastrophic collision caused the deaths of Mercedes-Benz driver Pierre Levegh and at least 83 spectators. Here's the story of that terrible day and its aftermath.This episode was originally released in 2022 and is now updated and remastered.SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritageFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.Get in touch with Maurice:https://horsepowerheritage.com/contactSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!

Gasoline, Diesel and even jet fuel made out of thin air- it sounds like science fiction, but it's now a reality. Rob McGinnis and his team at Prometheus Fuels in Santa Cruz, California have developed a way to extract the elemental building blocks from the atmosphere and turn it into synthetic hydrocarbons that can then be formulated into just about any fuel you want. They say they'll beat the current price you see at the pump, and the process is carbon neutral, relying on what's already swirling around us.

Let's be honest: we all spend way too much time online looking at cars for sale, right? It's irresistible. It's almost as if we're building a "virtual" car collection. And that's the whole idea behind this episode- pick some cars to suit a few different needs and see what it might cost to put them all in your garage. But an unlimited budget would make this easy- so keep it reasonable.

Daniel Sexton Gurney (1931-2018) was a Southern California Hot-Rodder who became one of the most successful racing drivers in the history of motorsport, with wins in Saloon Car, Sports Car, NASCAR, Indy Car and Formula One. Gurney raced for the Arciero Brothers, Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team, Ferrari, Brabham, BRM and Porsche before teaming up with Carroll Shelby to found All American Racers in 1964.Gurney was always seeking out men of motorsport at the top of their game: he collaborated with Colin Chapman of Lotus, engine maestro Harry Weslake, and the ambitious cadre at Ford Motor Company, who were intent on taking on the world's best.Gurney helped to pioneer the rear engine layout at the Indianapolis 500, spelling the end of Indy's Roadster Era in Champ Car racing, and AAR fielded the Gurney Eagle Formula One chassis for the first time in 1966. 1967 was a banner year for Gurney, winning the Belgian Grand Prix in the Eagle Mk1- the first Grand Prix win for an American constructor since 1921. He also won overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with his co-driver A.J. Foyt in the Ford GT 40 Mk IV.Gurney retired as a driver in 1970, but continued to operate All American Racers for the rest of his life, famously partnering with Toyota in IMSA-GT and CART. As a driver, Dan Gurney chalked up 63 victories over all motorsport categories, and All American Racers achieved 78 total wins as a constructor. His influence and contributions in the world of motor racing continue to inspire the next generation.SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comInstagram: @horsepowerheritageSupport the showSubscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

The rearing horse emblem of Ferrari is meant to suggest a taut, muscular thoroughbred, straining at the reins, snorting and ready to bolt.After all, that's what you want in a race horse: and pure specimen on the edge of control. And for years, that's what Ferrari's customers got when they were handed the keys of a new road car- under that sexy coachwork was a race-bred machine.But there came a time when the firm's patrons wanted more refinement and sophistication. That car came in 1966 as the Ferrari 330 GTC. Soon it was proclaimed the finest Ferrari road car ever built.In this episode, author Maurice Khawam discusses his new book, "Ferrari 330 GTC: Elegance and Pedigree". It's an exhaustive and painstaking work that will long serve as a reference for restorers, collectors and concours judges, as well as those who seek to understand the history of the Ferrari brand and the talented individuals behind it.Buy the book here:https://www.makgroupbooks.comSUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comInstagram: @horsepowerheritageSupport the showSubscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

Let us take you inside one of the most bizarre classic car auctions ever: RM Sotheby's JUNKYARD Auction  (AKA the Rudi Klein Collection). For decades, the reclusive Mr. Klein tucked away scores of desirable European sports cars. His Los Angeles salvage yard, "Porche Foreign Auto", was known for harboring hundreds of rare machines behind its walls, many of which had met with an untimely end- smashed seemingly beyond repair. But the decades of dry storage paid off, because most went far beyond their one-time scrap value in what was certainly one of the most unlikely auctions in the history of classic car culture.In this episode, Jonas Lach of Jonny's Garage and Daniel Harrison of Limit 55 join Maurice to recount their impression of the Junkyard, as well as sharing their personal car stories and how they see the future of the hobby.

In a suburban garage in Alberta, Canada, Brandon Hegedus builds eye-popping replicas of some of the world's rarest and most desirable performance cars. We're talking cars that virtually no one can own because they are either so rare or valuable that the only option is to recreate them.It all started as a personal challenge to replicate a 1961 Ferrari Tipo 156 "Sharknose" Formula 1 car (the originals no longer exist). Using modern materials like carbon fiber, Brandon recreated the iconic Sharknose bodywork. Underneath, he used modern mechanicals that approximated the original performance of the Tipo 156, all tied to a scratch built frame. The result was a screamer of a car with stunning looks.That first build got the attention of the media and created fantastic opportunities. Brandon is now a full-time builder who's bringing his clients' dream cars to life.Follow Brand Hegedus on Instagram  @howisthatstreetlegalSUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comInstagram: @horsepowerheritageSupport the showSubscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

Of all the internal combustion engines ever built,  the Rolls-Royce Merlin,  a 27-liter supercharged V-12 that powered fighters, bombers, boats and tanks, is arguably one of the most famous in history. Developed on the eve of World War II, the Merlin helped win the Battle of Britain and eventually the liberation of an enslaved Europe. It was manufactured on both sides of the Atlantic by two of the finest carmakers in the world. This is the story of how it was developed, and what it meant to the many (and the few).SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comInstagram: @horsepowerheritageMUSIC CREDITS:"Open Sea" by Frank Schroeterhttps://filmmusic.io/song/9447-open-sea-epichttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Chinese Blues" by George GershwinCC 1.0"Main Theme (The Grand Score)" by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/4960-main-theme-the-grand-scorehttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Dragonsong" by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/9301-dragonsonghttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Freedom" by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/4881-freedomhttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"The Curtain Rises" by Kevin MacLeodhttps://filmmusic.io/song/5007-the-curtain-riseshttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Bachs Bouree" In Celtic Minor by Alexander Nakaradahttps://filmmusic.io/song/5869-bachs-bouree-in-celtic-minorhttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Toward The Horizon" by Lilo Sound https://filmmusic.io/song/5538-towardthehorizon https://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Call to Adventure" by Kevin MacLeodhttps://filmmusic.io/song/3470-call-to-adventurehttps://filmmusic.io/standard-license"Garryowen" (Irish Traditional)Performed by the United States Army Band(Public Domain)Carry On Bach 3 (Bach Goes North) by Paul Arden-Taylor(Public Domain)"Hermann Goering March"(Public Domain)Roscoe Turner Interview, 1952 U.S. National Archives(Public Domain)Winston Churchill Radio Broadcast Speech to Parliament, June 18, 1940(Quotation Under Fair Use)Support the Show.Subscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

The early days of the motorcar were troublesome, frustrating, and most of all, adventurous- if you agree that "adventure" by definition means there's a chance of risking life and limb. And why else would mankind attempt what might seem like folly or futility, other than for the excitement that adventure brings?Such was the case with the 1907 Peking to Paris Motorcar Challenge, a stunt invented by a Paris newspaper and embraced by a motley bunch of daring automobilists: 8000 miles across tractless wastes and deep mire, pushing men and machines to the limit.Kassia St. Clair has written a rousing account of it all entitled "The Race to the Future: 8,000 Miles to Paris - The Adventure That Accelerated the Twentieth Century".And now, she's here to tell you about it. Support the Show.Subscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

Car builder, fabricator, collector, entrepreneur, TV presenter and racing driver are but a few of the things you'll find on Derek Drinkwater's resumé. He's always been interested in cars but one the really captivted him was the slab-sided Cadillac Series 61 special entered by American  Sportsman Briggs Cunningham in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was unlike anything ever raced at LeMans, and the Americans were certainly a spectacle.It was a fairly stock 1950 Cadillac custom-skinned by Grumman Aircraft Company of Long Island, New York, and when the French race fans saw it, they dubbed it "Le Monstre".  The nickname turned out to be a sign of affection, and the 331 cubic-inch V8 powered beast finished eleventh overall (its sister ship, a stock Series 61 coupe was nicknamed "Petit Pataud", or "Little Clumsy", finished tenth).Derek has now raced his Le Monstre replica at Le Mans Classic, Daytona Classic, Laguna Seca, Road America and Watkins Glen. In Part One of the story he tells how he built it and began to fettle it on the track.FOLLOW DEREK on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/derekdrinkwater48/Support the Show.Subscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

He went on to become a prolific collector of many cars, but especially the Dream Cars.Now they're being shown to the world in a new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles entitled "General Motors' Marvelous Motorama: Dream Cars from the Joe Bortz Auto Collection".VISIT THE PETERSEN:https://www.petersen.orgSUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSOR:https://www.modelcitizendiecast.comHorsepower Heritage is looking for new sponsors!If you'd like to advertise on the podcast, get in touch via the website:https://horsepowerheritage.comSupport the showSubscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

Over twenty years ago,  director Michael Mann began to think about bringing the story of Enzo Ferrari to the silver screen. It's probably the most anticipated film of 2023- a look into the personal life of  the notoriously private Enzo (played by Adam Driver) and his wife Laura (Penelope Cruz), framed by the backdrop of the 1957 running of the Mille Miglia: the grueling thousand-mile Italian road raceWhen it came to capturing the thrill and brutality of racing on film, there was only one person Mann could trust with the task:  stunt coordinator Robert Nagle. Robert's resume is impressive. He's an Academy Award winner, and the maestro behind car stunts in films like Baby Driver, John Wick, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Gran Turismo, Ford v. Ferrari and more.In this episode, Robert takes us behind-the-scenes of Ferrari and shares his insights on the art of driving fast on film."Ferrari" clip courtesy NEON Productions (copyright 2023).SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageYOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=horsepower+heritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE IS NOW ON TWITTER:https://twitter.com/TargaStorioSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comhttps://www.drivetowardacure.orgFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comSupport the showHORSEPOWER HERITAGE: THE PEOPLE AND STORIES BEHIND THE MACHINES.

There are few men left who could sit down and give you a detailed first-hand account of the entire U.S. Space Program. Don Nichols was a NASA insider who began his  career during the Mercury program (the first manned U.S. space flights) and retired while the Space Shuttle was still the world's dominant form of manned orbital flight. Nichols worked on Cold War era fighter-interceptors, the X-15 rocket plane, the guidance system for the Pershing missile,  and all the way to the mighty Saturn rocket that pushed the Apollo capsules to the moon as if it were the hand of God. Nichols was a player in America's cutting edge aerospace technology for decades. This conversation is a fascinating and detailed breakdown of man's greatest achievement: the conquest of outer space.SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageYOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=horsepower+heritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE IS NOW ON TWITTER:https://twitter.com/TargaStorioSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comhttps://www.drivetowardacure.orgFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comSupport the showHORSEPOWER HERITAGE: THE PEOPLE AND STORIES BEHIND THE MACHINES.
