POPULARITY
No hay duda: Se ha puesto de moda recurrir a diseños no sé si clásicos o sencillamente antiguos para, retocados y modernizados, volverlos a usar. Es innegable que en algunos casos el experimento ha sido un éxito, como en los casos del Fiat 500 y del Mini. Tengo una duda, ¿no será que faltan ideas? Suelo ser optimista y positivo, pero en este caso me cuesta serlo: Sí, en mi opinión faltan ideas. Si me permitís voy a matizar esta opinión: Creo que hay diseñadores con ideas, pero que están dirigidos por gestores cobardes o, por ser menos duros, no muy atrevidos. Os voy a hablar de tres conceptos distintos. Diseño de autor. En el vídeo dedicado al Lamborghini Miura leía una frase nada menos que de Gandini revindicando el diseño de autor. Entre otras cosas decía “que los coches estaban comenzaron a perder su atractivo” … ¡y lo decía en los años 70! ¿El motivo? Que eran diseñados por un equipo muy numeroso de personas de gran talento, pero todas procedentes de las mismas escuelas, de los mismos profesores, con las mismas experiencias. Marcello diseñaba él mismo cada coche, asistido como mucho por dos o tres ayudantes, pero era un auténtico “diseño de autor”. Algo que se ha perdido. Si miráis en Wikipedia la mayoría de los coches que ya son clásicos tienen un “padre”, un diseñador, solo uno… y no un Centro de Estilo a las órdenes del comité de dirección de la empresa. “Committee design”.Porque, hablemos ahora de lo que los anglosajones llaman “committee design” o “diseño de comité”. Cuando lo cuento, lo siento, siempre pongo el mismo ejemplo: El Ford Scorpio de la segunda generación… lo siento…. ¡es que es muy feo! Juguemos a la historia ficción. Yo me lo imagino esa reunión de la siguiente forma: Los diseñadores presentan la idea en arcilla y unos cuantos señores muy jefes, todos muy conservadores y entrados en años dan no su opinión, sino su instrucción. “Computed Aided Design” que literalmente seria “diseño asistido por ordenador”. Una definición perfecta, porque el ordenador no diseña, sino que ayuda. Pero ayuda mucho. Demasiado. Y es que los diseñadores dan instrucciones al ordenador para diferentes propuestas de tamaño, habitabilidad y disposiciones mecánicas. Y los ordenadores que son muy listos, pero de momento poco creativos, a ver qué pasa con la IA, dan las mismas soluciones. Si tú le dices a un ordenador que quieres un SUV de determinado tamaño, con determinado numero de puertas, con habitabilidad para 5 personas, con motor delantero transversal, etc., etc., etc.… pues, va a responder a todos los fabricantes lo mismo… no hay más que salir a la calle y comprobar que esto es cierto. Así que, ante esta situación, muchas marcas han tratado de volver sus ojos al pasado y hacer reediciones, rediseños o “remakes” de coches antiguos con encanto. En algunos casos, como el Mini, con un verdadero éxito. En otros, como con el Escarabajo, con un verdadero fracaso. Os voy a confesar que la mayoría de estos coches me gustan mucho. O sea, que no me parece una mala idea. Pero no puedo olvidar que son una prueba de la falta de ideas o de valentía a la hora de diseñar coches. Estos coches tan bonitos deberían compartir las vías públicas son coches bonitos y diferentes, con una cohorte de SUV que parecen hermanos sino gemelos, al menos, mellizos. ¡Volvamos al diseño de autor y a los estudios de diseño! Mientras tanto trataré de consolaros con esta selección es la que, como de costumbre, no están todos los que son, pero son todos los que están… y, además, ¡con “bonus track”! 1. Alpine A110 (2017). 2. Chevrolet Camaro (2015). 3. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (2015). 4. Fiat 500 (2007). 5. Ford Mustang (2004). 6. Ford Thunderbird (2002). 7. Mini (2000). 8. Nissan Fígaro (1991). 9. Toyota Land Cruiser (2024). 10. Volkswagen ID. Buzz (2022). Bonus Track: Toyota Origin. Coche del día. Me quedaría con un Challenger Hellcat, pero como me gustan las rarezas, ¿Qué os parece si metemos en nuestro garaje al minoritario Toyota Origin? Como inversión, seguro que es mejor idea.
What's a muscle car? What are the top 5 of all time? That's what we're discussing today. From the '60s to present day and every decade in between, Matt Farah and Zack Klapman have their own lists. Do any overlap? Do their cars fit the definition of muscle car? We'll see. Plus, Matt's used Bentley is back in the shop. Recorded February 12, 2024 Use Off The Record! and ALWAYS fight your tickets!

By this time, it seems almost everyone involved with the auto sport has at least heard of the SEMA show, if they haven't attended! It takes a lot of people to put that show on, and one of the bigger under rated aspect is the car builders. Sure, they have a competition that builders can enter, but for the vast majority, it is an honor just to have your ride accepted for display.Joining us somewhere along the way to the SEMA show is Mike Satterfield of 'The Gentleman Racer' and Richard Tomlin, owner of APEX Auto Works. These two have teamed up on two vehicles that will be on display this year, and they are towing one out, which is where we check in with them...on the road to SEMA.In our Feature segment, Michael Marrs will be going over his week in the 2022 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, if he can stop smiling long enough...---- ----- In Wheel Time Car Talk is now available on iHeart Radio!

For that highly nuanced person who wants to combine executive level business savvy with down-and-dirty racing tricks, Dodge just might have the job for you.The maker of the Challenger Hellcat and other notable muscle cars has a role to fill within its organization, announcing recently that it is on the hunt for a C-level brand ambassador to promote its new marketing strategy, dubbed “Never Lift.”Dodge says the individual selected for this year-long gig will be provided with a Hellcat to drive for a year, a salary of $150,000 and a custom wardrobe.And the only thing that outshines this perk package is, perhaps, the job title, which is Chief Donut Officer. And don't worry… there are business cards to prove it.
This week, we are very to be outside and broadcasting from Tailpipes & Tacos, the Saturday morning cruise in on the third Saturday of the month, weather permitting. We have seen 'em on the street, heard about people that have driven one, but we have not had that opportunity to run one through the paces in a proper environment. To help us out, Joe Harper is joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time to talk about his new Corvette - how long he waited to get it, how long to break it in, and what are his initial impressions.The Tailpipe & Taco Cruisein is held at Lupe' Tortillas resturant in Katy, Texas, 8a-11amCT. There is always a great mix of vehicles ranging from classics, to muscle cars, sports cars, imports, pickup trucks, hot rods, and even some sling shots show up when thne sun is shining.In additon to being a great cruize in event, this is also a fund raiser supporting Shirley's Kids - a foundation establisehed by the Queen of Drag Racing, Ms. Shirley Muldowney. The resturant opens early with breakfast tacos, coffee, and a wide variety of beverages with all the processd going to Shirleys Kids. Shirley actually attended one of the 2019 events, and when she wasn't talking on the air with In Wheel Time, she was signing autographs all morning. We do hope that she gets to come this way again.----- ----- -----'In Wheel Time Car Talk' audio podcast can be heard each weekday on most providers:Apple Podcasts, Pandora Podcast, Amazon Music Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Pandora, TuneIn + Alexa, Podcast Addict, Castro, Castbox and more on your mobile device.----- ----- -----In Wheel Time is a live broadcast every Saturday from 8:00a-11aCT streaming video to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and InWheelTime.com.----- ------ ------Want more In Wheel Time in real time?

Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott discuss what went on behind the scenes in order to make the recent ISSIMI video about the Ford Shelby GT500 video including: Lisa the flag girl, Derek's shirtless cameo, and the challenges of getting all the cars together in the same place at the same time. They also discuss why the video features a Challenger Hellcat and not a Redeye or a Demon, as well as the methodology used for getting the drag race and hot lap times. Lastly they discuss potential future Icons episode ideas.The Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled 25-minute conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter. Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 250 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.

On this episode Eddie brings an interesting topic to the table. Dodge and Chevrolet are boasting about high powered models of their most popular sports cars coming out, but are either of them worth the money? The Dodge Demon is a Challenger Hellcat on Steroids and the Camaro Exorcist is just a Hennessey upgrade that very few people will actually be able to afford. So again what exactly do these models come with and are they worth the money? Or are they bound to end up like Corvettes, used for nothing more than taking up space in the garage?

We've driven a duo of supercars; the McLaren 720S and the Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. We talk in depth about the differences between 710 and 740 horsepower, and how much of a scalpel the 720S is. The Lamborghini is exactly what a dream car should be, and we touch on that too. Also, Adi bought something with a V8, and we compare Jerry's test drive of the Camaro SS to the Mustang Bullitt and the Challenger Hellcat.
On this episode of the Autoweek Podcast, host Rory Carroll joins Mike Pryson, Wesley Wren and Jimmy Pellizzari to talk about Daniel Ricciardo’s shift to Renault. The gang also are joined by Autoweek’s NHRA analyst Susan Wade for a report on the NHRA event in Seattle, as well as a general update about the status of professional drag racing. Susan talks about two big controversies that happened during Seattle’s NHRA event. Later in the episode, Robin Warner interviews NHRA top fuel funny car driver Bob Tasca III. Tasca talks about the future of electrification in drag racing, the future of the car industry and how he recovered his first car on craigslist. From there, Graham Kozak joins the fray and Jimmy talks about his experience racing in Michigan’s Summer Sno*Drift rally, placing third in class. Jimmy, for those that forget, races in Rally America with a modified 2.5 RS Subaru. Graham wraps the show leading a discussion about his recent drive with a Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye and Challenger Scat Pack Widebody.
Is driving the 2018 Lamborghini Aventador S roadster a life-changing experience? According to Sami, the answer is yes - with a few caveats. Benjamin drives a pair of down-to-Earth Minis - the Cooper and the Countryman - that booked the Mini universe in terms of both price and size. Finally, both Benjamin and Sami get deep into the revelation that the Challenger Hellcat is gaining a new family member - the Redeye - and that some old favorites are getting a host of upgrades and changes.

Check out our guest playlist by OKRP's director of Groupon spots, Luis Peña, who curated hard-rocking and introspective tracks for adventure and the open road. Black Grease — The Black Angels Oh how I love The Black Angels. I almost made the whole mix with just their songs. This is what west Texas sounds like to me. Hustle And Cuss — Dead Weather The sexy duo of Jack White and Alison Mosshart going at it with tension brimming at the seams. We’re starting to break the speed limit. When The Levee Breaks — Led Zeppelin I love air drumming to this masterpiece. Can’t help myself. Full-on smashing the steering wheel to Bonham’s thunder. T.I.B.W.F.— Budos Band I get lost in this song. It’s like a soundtrack to a 60’s horror film about gogo dancers. I love it. Wish You Were Here — Lee Fields & The Expressions My first car was a Chevy Malibu and it only had an AM radio station. And the only station I listened to was KYOK — Soul. Driving and soul go hand and hand to me. You Don’t Love Me-No No No — Dawn Penn I went through a big reggae phase. Actually, I reckon I’m still in it. Dawn Perry’s vocals and the rhythmic bass line gets my head moving every time. Optimistic — Radiohead Ah, Radiohead. You could save the world with your music. I backpacked all throughout Central America in my mid-twenties listening to OK Computer. This is off Kid A. I love how this song builds and builds tension and then releases. Ball of Confusion — Leon Bridges I heard this song the other day and was struck on how current it is today. Leon Bridges does a masterful cover of it. And that bass line is ridiculous. Commit A Crime — Mr. Airplane Man Mr. Airplane Man is the duo of Margaret Garrett and Tara McManus — drums and guitar. Simple and stripped-down grungy blues. That guitar riff makes me want to do terrible things to a Challenger Hellcat. Miss Ohio — Craig Cardiff Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings are on my desert island record list. But this cover of their song by Craig Cardiff is amazing. Gorgeous jazz piano ramblings. “I wanna do right, but not right now.”
Our good friend and partner in podcasting Jeff Glucker (@jglucker) of Hooniverse joins us this week. We talk all about Matt and Jeff's experiences in the Challenger Hellcat in Washington D.C., Matt spent some time in the new Z4 road car immediately followed by track time BMW Z4 GT3 racecar, Matt spent some time with an obscure but great Autozam AZ-1, plus we discuss Jeff's project car "The Wombat" and interesting cars from SEMA 2014.
For the first time in a little while we sit down without guests and catch up on what we've been up to. Matt and Thad both had an afternoon with the Alfa Romeo 4C and Challenger Hellcat, Zack bought a Crown Victoria detective car and I continued to produce way too many podcasts. In addition Matt talks about his trip to Europe for the Forza Horizon 2 launch event along with his first impressions of the game and a mini review of the Audi R8 V10+. We also cover the RS5 Cabriolet, disparity in YouTube content production, glory holes (yes again) and how much context can color language for use on televion.
This week fellow automotive journalist, chairman of Beer and Beards quarterly, and host of Ignition Jonny Lieberman (@mt_loverman) once again joins us at the podcast table. Matt recounts tales of learning to drive a manual transmission, hot stereos and a teenage butchering of a Subaru Legacy. Meanwhile Jonny bought a new Fiesta ST and shares with us his experience in the Nismo GTR and Challenger Hellcat. In addition we cover news on the Aston Martin Lagonda, Zombie Dust beer and Lamborghini Countach values.
