Welcome to Episode 64! We're kicking off this week's episode talking about the mid-cycle refresh the Corvette is receiving for 2026, plus a new, retro-cool addition to the Toyota Corolla hatchback lineup coming next year. Then, we get into our wheels of the week—Nick is genuinely surprised with the 2025 Murano, Nathan isn't quite smitten with the refreshed Yukon, and both fall for the BMW X2 M35's plucky charm. And finally, Nathan tells us all about his cross-country journey with a very special vintage car—until he had to cut it short about 200 kilometres out of Regina. Womp womp, indeed. Enjoy the show?

GM yesterday unveiled a Chevrolet Corvette concept car with a 3D printed body. Not only is the body lighter, but additive manufacturing would allow GM to reduce the part count. According to GM Authority, the carmaker sold a little more than 33,000 Corvettes in the U.S. last year, and advancements in additive manufacturing can already suit applications with volumes in the low tens of thousands—and this one is in the future, so who knows what will be possible then, or, if there will be one. GM's UK team created the concept as part of an advanced design study that includes multiple studios currently preparing to reveal additional Corvette concepts throughout the year. 

On tonight's show, we're discussing everything we can think of and a few things we can't think of! Toyota's Rav4 unseats the F150, Honda wants Nissan's CEO to take a hike, The Chevrolet Corvette is serving lap record realness, and we've been car shopping! Find out what we're looking for in a car and so much (or not) more!

Shoot us a Text.The auto industry breathed a sigh of relief yesterday as it was announced that they will be exempt from the 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods. Plus, we're looking at the cars that hold their value the best, and Google's push towards AI search.Show Notes with links:The auto industry is temporarily relieved by a one-month exemption from the 25% tariffs on vehicles covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). President Trump granted the reprieve following requests from Ford, GM, and Stellantis, with the ultimate goal of shifting production to the U.S.The automotive provisions of the USMCA require that 75% of a vehicle's components be made in North America (up from 62.5% under NAFTA) to qualify for zero tariffs, and mandate that 40-45% of auto parts be made by workers earning at least $16 per hour, aiming to boost North American production and labor standards.Most automotive manufacturers comply with USMCA standards and The American Automotive Policy Council and automakers expressed gratitude for the temporary exemption.Suppliers remain concerned about long-term impacts, despite positive signs for USMCA-compliant parts.Dealers and industry experts view the exemption as part of a broader strategy to encourage domestic manufacturing, but uncertainty persists.“The damage has already been done. For an industry that operates in three- to five-year product cycles, this level of day-to-day uncertainty is debilitating.” — Glenn Stevens, Executive Director of MichAuto.Last week we covered the cars with the most depreciation, and now, Kelley Blue Book has announced its annual Best Resale Value Awards, highlighting the top performers of 2025.The top 10 vehicles are projected to retain an average of 58% of their original MSRP, compared to the market average of 44.6%.Toyota dominates the list, securing four of the top ten spots, including the #1 2025 Toyota Tacoma with a projected 64.1% resale value.The full top 10 list includes the 2025 Toyota GR Supra (53.7%), 2025 Porsche 911 (53.8%), 2025 Toyota RAV4 (53.9%), 2025 Honda CR-V (54.4%), 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class (56.6%), 2025 Ford Bronco (57.0%), 2025 Toyota 4Runner (60.0%), 2025 Toyota Tundra (60.9%), 2025 Chevrolet Corvette (61.0%), and 2025 Toyota Tacoma (64.1%).Google is accelerating its AI integration into search with a new feature called AI Mode, adding a chatbot-like experience directly to the core of Google Search.AI Mode, currently in testing, is only available to Google One AI Premium subscribers and must be enabled in the Labs section of Search.The feature offers a search-centric chatbot experience, delivering AI-generated answers directly from Google's search index with supporting links throughout.AI Mode uses the Gemini 2.0 model, aiming to improve Google's ability to handle more advanced queries while providing real-time data and web interaction.While concerns remain about Google's shift away from traditional website linking, Stein asserts that AI Overviews anHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers It's 6PM on Wednesday, January 11th, 1956. I'm at Colbee's Restaurant on the ground floor of the CBS headquarters at 485 Madison Avenue. I'm about to have a bite to eat with the man you just heard, Mandel Kramer. Yesterday at Edwards Air Force Base in California, U.S. Air Force First Lt. Barty R. Brooks died in the crash of a F-100 Super Sabre. The accident was caught on film. Word from Memphis is that young singer Elvis Presley recorded a new song called “Heartbreak Hotel.” Today's cover of The New York Daily News shows Grace Kelly in Monaco, but the interior pages talk about the rising problems in Vietnam. South Vietnam President Ngô Đình Diệm issued an ordinance giving his government almost unchecked power to deal with any opposition. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union has approved technical specifications for an R-13 submarine-launched missile. And earlier today, The 1956 Chevrolet Corvette was announced. It'll cost three-thousand-one-hundred-twenty dollars. It features a new body, convertible top, optional power steering, optional hardtop, and rollup glass windows. The V6 option has been dropped in favor of either a two-hundred-ten or two-hundred-twenty horsepower V8 Engine. A 3-speed manual transmission is now standard. The main national news is the debate on whether or not President Dwight D. Eisenhower will seek a second term. After suffering a heart attack in September of 1955 Ike is still undeclared, meeting with an array of doctors to gauge whether the rigors of running for reelection will cause undue health issues. The United Press reported on Tuesday the 10th that sixty percent of the more than four hundred doctors polled felt that Dwight would be able to serve. Perhaps some insight into Ike's psyche was gleaned when on Monday, January 9th, he once again took over full White House duties, including naming Bernard M. Shanley Appointments Secretary. Meanwhile, on NBC radio, Keys To The Capital is airing.

Ford Mustang, Ford Mustang… ¡Ya vale de Ford Mustang! Que sí, que mola mucho, pero el “VER-DA-DE-RO” deportivo norteamericano, el más representativo, el que más ha aportado estética y técnicamente, no es el Ford Mustang… ¡para nada! ¿Y cuál es entonces? Está claro… ¡el Chevrolet Corvette! No te lo crees… te lo voy a demostrar. Gracias a nuestros amigos de la revista “CEROaCIEN” hicimos un monográfico del Corvette… que terminaba en el C3, que era la portada de la revista… pero es que, del Corvette, desde que nació en 1953 hasta ahora… ¡ha habido 8 generaciones! Hablaremos de todas. 1953. Nace un mito, el C1. Chevrolet quería “rejuvenecer” la imagen de esta marca de GM… y Harley Earl, diseñador jefe de la marca llevaba mucho tiempo queriendo diseñar y producir un deportivo. Convenció a Edward N. Cole, ingeniero jefe de Chevrolet y pensaron en utilizar una carrocería deportiva, atractiva y ligera, montarla en chasis pequeño y poner un motor “gordo”. Y en 1953 en el mismísimo Waldorf Astoria de Nueva York se presentó el Chevrolet Corvette. El diseño de Robert McLean, atrevido y con mucha personalidad, fue todo un éxito. Y aunque al principio este C1 dio algunos problemas de fiabilidad, no paró de evolucionar y a llegó a llevar motores V8 de hasta 5,4 litros y hasta 365 CV. 1962. C2, ¡otra cosa! Mientras en el Ford Mustang la segunda generación era casi un paso atrás, en este caso Chevrolet fue muy atrevida. El concepto de coche deportivo, divertido de conducir y ligero para los cánones norteamericanos, se mantenía… ¡pero no tenía nada que ver! Para comenzar, ya hay versión Coupé que nunca tuvo el C1 recurre a los faros escamoteables y la parte posterior era muy original. Además, contaba con suspensión trasera independiente y llegó a llevar motores de hasta 7 litros y 425 CV. 1967: C3, el “Coca-Cola”. Este C3 fue conocido en España y otros países hispano hablantes como el “Coca Cola” por sus formas vistas desde arriba. En los países angloparlantes se le denomino “The Shark”. El “tiburón” y estuvo en producción nada menos que 14 años. Su secreto… ¡una estética impresionante! El diseño de Larry Shinoda era y es todo un espectáculo. Quizás haya otros Corvette más impresionantes, pero más bonitos, no. 1983. C4, más sofisticado y práctico. Este modelo lo pude probar, nada menos que el ZR-1 con motor V8 de 5 litros, con culatas retocadas por Lotus y 411 CV. En foto no tanto, pero “cara a cara” era impresionante, no solo gracias al diseño de Jerry Palmer, sino también gracias a tu tamaño… 1996. C5, copiando a los japoneses. La primera vez que me dijeron que este diseño era una copia o al menos estaba inspirado en los japoneses Nissan 300ZX y Mazda RX-7 fui un poco escéptico… luego me he dado cuenta de que es evidente. Casi os diría que más en el Mazda, pues parece un RX-7 que ha tomado anabolizantes. No es una crítica para su diseñador, John Cafaro, que a mi entender hizo un buen trabajo, porque en estos tiempos los coches japoneses eran en los USA y en todo el mundo un verdadero referente, sobre todo en cuanto a calidad de acabados… y este C5 en este sentido mejoraba netamente al C4. 2004. C6, más de lo mismo. GM nunca ocultó que en realidad el C6 era una evolución y mejora del C5, algo más pequeño, ligero y con motores más potentes y eficientes. Pero si piensas que este C6 aporto poco a la saga, te equivocas, pues creo que con este modelo llega un punto de inflexión. ¿A qué me refiero? A que el Corvette, aunque se recorta en tamaño, “crece” como concepto, ascendiendo de la categoría de “deportivo” y acercándose a la de super-deportivo, con motores de hasta 638 CV en su versión tope de gama, como motor de solo 6 litros, compresor y no turbo y esos 638 CV. 2013. C7, muy actualizado. En este caso más que decir que el C7 es una evolución del C6 me gusta más decir que es una actualización, desde el punto de vista estético, con una línea similar, pero más moderna y aerodinámica, pero también en el plano técnico, con la llegada de la inyección directa. El motor de 6 litros recibe no solo la inyección directa, sino también el sistema de apertura de válvulas variable, lo que permite subir la potencia hasta los 461 CV reduciendo el consumo. Este Corvette ya pretende ser más superdeportivo que deportivo, no solo por su mecánica, sino por el empleo del carbono y el aluminio en su chasis y por sus asientos de cuero cosidos a mano… sofisticado, lujoso, eficiente y muy deportivo. 2020. C8, un salto espectacular. No solo es el motor central, no solo es el nuevo chasis, no solo es la estética… es que el motor tope de gama rebasa una cifra mítica… la de los ¡1.000 CV! Exactamente 1079 CV. Sinceramente, a mí con las versiones de 664 o 679 CV creo que me llega.

In episode 94 of the BaT Podcast, Alex, Randy and Zac shoot the breeze (but not the fish) about: Corona vs Cordoba, a rosier view of the current state of the market, Carrera RS colors, the dread question: "Is it real?", anti-stripe contrarianism, and searching by Lot Number, capping things off with a rambling exploration through our leaders' highly eclectic watchlists. They move on to display their collective, uncanny ability for remembering specific details from a huge list of movie cars (both stars and extras), dissect "ground effects," point out flawed car casting, and intentionally leave Eleanor out in the cold.

Welcome to Episode 51! This week, Nick talks about a Mercedes with a mouthful of a name: the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E-Performance 4-Door Coupe. It didn't meet his expectations of a modern Mercedes-Benz—and that's kind of a good thing. Plus, Nathan recounts his weekend with the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, and comes away pleasantly surprised by the refreshingly simple 2024 Nissan Frontier Hardbody Edition. Oh, and Rush is back in the studio. He hasn't driven anything cool lately, but he stuck around to mess with Nathan and Nick. Enjoy the show?

Podcast #334 brings John Davis and the MotorWeek team back into the studio to talk shop about three vehicles recently on the crew's radar. First, a detailed rundown on the refreshed Ford Bronco Sport, arriving for 2025 with an available Sasquatch package. Then we'll kick it over to Greg, regaling his time in Southern California with the Volvo EX90. We'll spark up a Lighting Round about recent shifts in electric vehicle strategies, then Brian gets back on throttle with the exciting Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. The team forgoes the typical Rant or Rave, concluding instead with a teaser of the upcoming 44th season of MotorWeek.

Cerramos la serie “Coches míticos” con este vídeo. Hicimos uno analizando coches que son míticos y NO lo merecen, otro, descubriendo coches que no son míticos y SÍ lo merecen y cerramos con este, coches que SÍ son míticos y SÍ se lo merecen... pero… ¿Qué es un coche mítico? Antes de comenzar por los coches, solo 10, ¡me ha costado mucho decidirme! vamos a definir que es un coche mítico. Porque en el vídeo titulado “5 coches míticos que no merecen serlo” contamos “¿cómo nace un mito?” pero no “¿Qué es un mito?”. Para ello recurro a la RAE, la Real Academia de la Lengua Española. Las dos primeras definiciones encajan más con personas y-o historias, pero en la tercera acepción, la que más me gusta para está ocasión, dice que mito es “persona o cosa rodeada de extraordinaria admiración y estima.” Así que un coche mítico es aquel que despierta “extraordinaria admiración y estima”. Hay una cuarta acepción que dice que un mito es: “Persona o cosa a la que se atribuyen cualidades o excelencias que no tiene”. Esta definición desbarata mis argumentos de “Coches que son míticos y no lo merecen” porque resulta que se puede ser un mito, sin merecerlo… ¡Ay Dios mío! Hoy toca centrarse en aquellos que lo son y sí lo merecen y volvemos a los argumentos que di en mi primer vídeo para responder a la pregunta clave: ¿Cómo nace un mito? Esta pregunta tiene muchas respuestas, porque debe tener, al menos, alguna o algunas de estas cualidades: - Un diseño espectacular, en su momento y en la actualidad. - Aportar un avance técnico o varios sin precedentes. - Influir en el diseño de otros modelos. - Convertirse en un coche de masas. - Méritos deportivos. - Influir o cambiar por completo una sociedad. - Por último y para mí una cualidad imprescindible, para que un coche sea mítico debe tener una personalidad. Todos los coches que están en esta lista cumplen no una, sino más de una de estas condiciones. Así que sin más vamos con la lista. 1. Ford T (1908). Histórico. 2. Jeep Willys (1941). El “precursor” de todos los TT. 3. Citroën DS (1955). Muy adelantado a su tiempo. 4. Jaguar E (1961). Bonito y barato… le faltó ser bueno. 5. Lamborghini Miura (1966). Con él nacen los “Superdeportivos”. 6. Chevrolet Corvette (1967). “Más americano que la Coca Cola”. 7. Volkswagen Golf GTi (1976). Los deportivos dejaron de ser Coupés. 8. Audi Quattro (1980). Marcó un “antes” y un “después”. 9. Ferrari Testarossa (1984). Acuñó la palabra “Testarro”. 10. Lancia Delta Integrale (1987). Indiscutible rey de los Rallyes. Conclusión. La de siempre en estas listas: No están todos los que son, pero espero que sean todos los que están… os leo en comentarios. Coche del día. ¿Qué os parece el Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO1 versión especial Martini? Os hablo de la versión de calle… probé ese coche en su momento… ¡que locura! Una locura maravillosa.

The End of an Era: Farewell to the Two-Seat ThunderbirdOn this day, December 13,1957, automotive enthusiasts bid farewell to an iconic chapter in Americanautomotive history—the two-seat Ford Thunderbird. As production came to a closeon that fateful day, it marked the end of an era that had captivated the heartsof drivers across the nation.During its brief butimpactful run, the two-seat Thunderbird had major implications on theautomotive landscape. Introduced in 1955 as Ford's response to the ChevroletCorvette, the Thunderbird quickly gained a reputation for blending sportinesswith luxury. Over the course of its three-year production span, a total of53,166 units were manufactured.The two-seat Thunderbirdwas born into a market that would be shared with the Chevrolet Corvette, whichhad been introduced in 1953. While the Corvette leaned heavily into its sportscar image, the Thunderbird carved its niche as a "personal luxurycar," providing a more refined driving experience by offering a uniquecombination of performance and comfort.Performance-wise, in 1955 theThunderbird and Corvette were closely matched. Both cars boasted V8 engines,offering drivers a thrilling and powerful ride. The Thunderbird's 312cubic-inch V8 engine, producing 245 horsepower, provided a spirited performancethat rivaled the Corvette's capabilities. When it comes to these two icons onewould not exist without the other. The T-Bird was created to help fill the voidin its product line up that was caused by the Corvette. Ironically withextremely low sales by 1955 General Motors was considering canceling theCorvette. With the Thunderbird coming to market (and a little Zora Duntov) GMdecided to continue the Corvette. So Ford peep's thank the Vette guys, andVette guys show some respect for the Bird.Where the Thunderbirdtruly stood out was in its interior design and features. The Thunderbird wasequipped with amenities that were uncommon in sports cars of the era, such aspower windows, power seats, and a removable hardtop. This focus on comfort andconvenience made the Thunderbird an appealing option for those who sought bothperformance and sophistication.Despite its initialsuccess, the two-seat Thunderbird faced challenges in the market. Ford observeda shifting consumer preference towards larger, more family-oriented vehicles.In response to this trend, Ford made the strategic decision to discontinue thetwo-seat Thunderbird in favor of a new four-seat model that would debut in1958.Today, the two-seatThunderbird is a cherished classic among collectors and enthusiasts. Itslimited production run and distinctive design have contributed to itsdesirability. The Thunderbird'sdeparture from the market marked the end of an era but paved the way for newchapters in Ford's legacy. The two-seat Thunderbird remains a symbol of abygone era, a time when American automakers embraced innovation andcompetition, leaving an enduring impact on the automotive landscape.www.nodrivinggloves.com

The Father of Automotive Design: Celebrating Harley Earl's Legacy on His BirthdayToday, we celebrate the birthday of a pioneer whose influence has left an indelible mark on the automotive industry – Harley Earl. Born on November 22, 1893, in Los Angeles, California, Earl became a trailblazer in the industry, earning the title of the "Father of Automotive Design" for his revolutionary contributions.Harley J. Earl's journey into the world of automobiles began in the early 20th century. His father, J.W. Earl, operated a coach-building shop in LA, exposing young Harley to the intricacies of automotive craftsmanship. Earl's keen interest and innate artistic talent, along with the family business, led him to pursue a career in car design, eventually catching the eye of General Motors (GM) founder William C. Durant.In 1927, Harley Earl joined General Motors, marking the beginning of a transformative era in automotive design. Earl's appointment as the head of GM's Art and Color Section signaled a paradigm shift. He introduced the concept of "styling" to the automotive world, emphasizing the importance of aesthetics alongside functionality.Under Earl's leadership, the 1927 LaSalle became the first production car to feature stylistic input from an in-house design team, setting the stage for a new era of automotive elegance. Earl's vision went beyond mere functionality – he believed cars should be works of art, capturing the spirit of the times.One of Harley Earl's most iconic contributions was the introduction of tailfins in the 1948 Cadillac. Inspired by World War II fighter planes, these sleek and distinctive fins became synonymous with post-war American automotive design. Earl's daring innovations set trends that influenced the industry for decades.Earl's creative genius extended beyond Cadillac to other GM brands like Chevrolet, Buick, and Oldsmobile. The '50s and '60s saw the birth of iconic models such as the Chevrolet Corvette and the Buick Riviera, solidifying GM's position as a leader in automotive design.Harley Earl retired from General Motors in 1958, leaving behind a legacy that transformed the automotive landscape. His impact on the industry was not just about designing cars; it was about shaping the very culture of American automobiles. Earl's emphasis on design as a driving force in the automotive world paved the way for future generations of designers to consider form as much as function.Harley Earl's birthday serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of a man whose creative vision transformed the automotive industry. From the introduction of stylistic design to the iconic tailfin era, Earl's impact is woven into the fabric of American automotive history. So, as we honor the "Father of Automotive Design" on his 130th birthday, let's reflect on the beauty and artistry that he brought to the world of cars, shaping an industry that continues to captivate us to this day.www.nodrivingloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #ithappenedtoday #design #harleyearl #fatherofautomotivedesign

In Podcast 312, John Davis and the MotorWeek crew cover three automotive gamechangers. First up, we went to Barcelona to drive Volvo's newest, smallest, and cheapest EV, the EX30, which starts around $35,000. Then we had some seat time in Chevy's hybrid C8 Corvette, the E-Ray. And following up the first ever all-electric RAM REV is the RAM 1500 Ramcharger, an extended range EV full-size pickup. We'll explain more. Plus we've got a Lightning Round on some big problems for the robotaxi company Cruise and a viewer question about if EVs need special wheels and tires.

Grudzień, 1963. W trakcie burzy śnieżnej, na drodze gdzieś pomiędzy Nevadą a Kalifornią wyłania się stary Chevrolet Corvette. W środku siedzi trzech mężczyzn – kierowca w doklejonych sztucznych wąsach, pijany młody pasażer z oczami zasłoniętymi przepaską i ostatni, zwinięty w bagażniku, z zakrwawioną twarzą i w butach włożonych odwrotnie.

¡Qué bonitos eran los coches con faros escamoteables o retráctiles! Me gustaban por muchos motivos, entre otros porque eran como “dos coches en uno”. Por ejemplo, el F40: Parece otro coche cuando lleva los faros fuera. ¿Por qué desaparecieron? ¿Cuáles fueron los más espectaculares? Todo eso y mucho más, “bonus track” incluido, os lo contamos en este vídeo. Pero antes de seguir, por si hay algún despistado, vamos a contar qué son los faros escamoteables. Primero una definición un poco infantil, “naïve” que diría Rodrigo: Son faros que suben y bajan…o que aparecen y desaparecen… más o menos. Son faros que cuando no los necesitamos están ocultos o en una posición que favorece la aerodinámica, pero que cuando los necesitamos o bien pivotan, emergen, se destapan o se articulan… Era un recurso estilístico muy usado a partir de los años 70 y hasta los 90. El motivo es sencillo: Poner los faros, para un diseñador, es siempre un engorro por posición, espacio que ocupan y porque por muy afilado que quieras hacer el morro, los faros para ser eficaces deben presentar una superficie que forme más o menos un ángulo recto con la carretera. Así que, para hacer una línea lo más afilada posible los estilistas recurrían a una solución muy eficaz: Quitarlos. Es la mejor manera de hacer un frontal muy afilado, no tienes nada que te estorbe. Huelga decir que la mayoría de estos coches tenían mejor aerodinámica de día, que de noche… Como os he dicho los hay que se tumban, es el caso de los Porsche 928 y del 968, entre otros. Cuando están tumbados los faros se ven, pero no son operativos. Los hay que se esconden y cuando suben aparecen, pero más integrados que en los casos anteriores, la forma más común y usada en el citado Ferrari F40, en el Chevrolet Corvette o Lotus Esprit entre otros. En otros casos pivotan de forma que la pieza que acoge el faro cuando está en una posición es muy aerodinámica y cuando gira, aparece el faro, pero muy integrado… es la solución del Opel GT, por ejemplo. Otra opción es la del Lincoln Continental, por ejemplo, el del 70, que oculta los faros, pero sin ninguna pretensión aerodinámica, solo por estética. 1. Alfa Romeo Montreal (1970). Un pedazo de diseño de nada menos que Marcello Gandini. Tan equilibrado que no parece que tenga motor delantero. Lo he incluido, pero en realidad no lleva faros escamoteables, sino faros semi ocultos. 2. BMW M1 (1978). De Gandini a Giugiaro… Giorgetto para este coche diseño un capó bajo y afilado, sin ningún elemento mecánico que le estorbase puesto que el motor era central. Para poner un par de faros fue necesario ponerlos retráctiles. 3. Chevrolet Corvette (1967). Aunque la segunda generación ya los tenía retráctiles, para mí el más bonito es el de la tercera de 1967, por supuesto también con faros escamoteables… una preciosidad en la que, por cierto, se inspiró el citado Opel GT. 4. Ferrari F40 (1987). Damos un salto en el tiempo y nos vamos a otro coche y a otro gran diseñador, la empresa Pininfarina y su “empleado”, con comillas, en esos momentos, Leonardo Fioravanti. Recientemente hemos hecho un vídeo de este coche y no dijimos nada de los faros… así que aquí está. 5. Ferrari Daytona (1968). Este precioso Ferrari diseño de Pininfarina ha quitado el sitio a otro Ferrari, el Testarossa… pero sí que hay muchos Ferrari con faros retráctiles, por el mismo motivo del BMW M1: Con motor central es fácil hacer un morro afilado. Pero el Daytona llevaba un motor V12 delantero y a pesar de ello, un afilado morro… con faros escamoteables. 6. Lamborghini Countach (1974). Gandini vuelve a asomar la cabeza… y es que cuando se habla de coches bonitos, siempre está ahí, la verdad es que el Countach es bonito, pero más que bonito es impresionante. Y sí que tiene un morro muy bajo, en este caso los faros escamoteables eran imprescindibles. 7. Lincoln Continental (1970). He elegido este coche porque como hemos comentado, en este caso los faros escamoteables no buscaban una mejor aerodinámica, sino una línea distinta… y esta quinta generación del Continental, la tiene. 8. Lotus Esprit (1976). Os juro que ha sido casualidad, no he buscado el empate, pero este diseño es de Giugiaro… por el mismo motivo que Gandini, si hablas de coches bonitos sale a relucir. Y este es bonito y mucho, además de coche Bond. 9. Mazda MX5 (1989). Por supuesto, hablamos de la primera generación. Está como representante de los japoneses, porque hubo muchos coches japoneses con faros retractiles, algunos tan moderno como el Celica de la IV generación (1985). 10. Porsche 928 (1978). Hemos hablado de él y el mismo sistema fue “copiado” por el 968 (1992). En ambos casos con los faros fuera, el coche tenía una cierta estética de rana, al menos discutible… Bonus Track. Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 A de 1936, Oldsmobile Toronado y Saab Sonett.

Bei August Achleitner weiß man nie, ob man ihn nun um seinen ehemaligen Job bei Porsche beneiden soll oder ob man nicht doch lieber in der zweiten Reihe stehen würde, wenn die "Gusseisernen", wie die traditionsbewusstesten unter den 911-Fans auch genannt werden, wieder einmal auf die neueste Errungenschaft "ihres" Porsche eingeprügelt haben, oft genug auch mit dem Rückenwind der Presse. Ganz so schlimm ist es dann meist doch nicht, wenn der Wagen erst einmal über die Straße rollt und seinen Grundcharakter im Großen und Ganzen doch behalten durfte und dabei ein ums andere Mal zum nächsten Verkaufsrekord ansetzt. Hier erzählt August Achleitner aus seinem sicher aufregenden Berufsleben; das allerdings mit einer Gelassenheit in der Stimme, die wahrscheinlich auch nötig ist, wenn wieder einmal die Gusseisernen... aber hört einfach selbst! *** Die Alte Schule wurde euch präsentiert vom V8Werk – eurem Spezialisten für die Restaurierung, Reparatur und Wartung vom klassischen Ford Mustang und der Chevrolet Corvette.

When you think drifting, you also think of a 1966 Toyota Stout right?Even if you don't, Ryan Tuerck's mate did, so that is what he's built with @toyotausa  and @OfficialMobil1. Moving on from the previous Ferrari-powered GT86 (GT4586) and Formula Supra (Judd V10 powered) time attack builds this drift ute, or drift truck depending on your regional dialect, fell just short of laying rubber at @semashow 22', but is tantalisingly close to doing so very soon.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inPowered by a 3S-GTE that's also a little bit 5S-FE, 600-650hp is the goal although 1000hp would be possible, it probably wouldn't work well with the 275's on the rear and light weight.The 3SGTE (MR2, Celica) based build sports a @Turbobygarrett GTX 770 turbocharger, mild cams, 10:1 compression, non-stroker crank and 87mm bore giving a capacity of 2.1L. The 5S-FE block which is normally 2.2L is used for its increased strength over the 3S and the team hopes to get 3 seasons of runs out of this setup before a refresh is due with @JohnReedRacing tuning the project.Electronics are handled by @unicorngarage6095 and a suite of @MoTeCAustralia products from the M150 ECU, C1212 dash logger to a PDM30 which will see the car run without fuses or relays, something the Toyota engineers in the 1960's no doubt wouldn't have thought likely all those years ago. Probably weren't expecting 600hp+ rather than the stock 85hp either!Drivetrain and suspension wise the somewhat classic Holinger sequential transmission and @wintersperformanceproducts rear end will play nicely with the tried and tested double A arm setup out of a Chevrolet Corvette which should give no nasty surprises and only straightforward setup changes once shakedown runs begin.'Sick utes' aka pre-runner aficionados @Kibbetech handled the tube frame chassis design and fabrication with CNC support from Bending Solutions (Rob Parsons) with many hours spent in CAD beforehand to give an accurate finished product rather than one that needed some major or minor 'fettling' as is sometimes the case with one off 'build as you go' projects that need more time than was on hand for this particular project.Jon Sibal has done a great job of helping this vision look awesome not just in the mind but also in the flesh with his work on the body kit which thanks to some laser scanning and great work from ADV Fiberglass has turned out perfect.Want to learn how to tune EFI?

There are some big debuts this week. The Chevy Corvette E-Ray brings electrification and all-wheel drive to the sports car for the first time. The Aston Martin DBS 770 is the brand's ultimate grand tourer, and it only plans to make 499 of them. The Mazda MX-30 R-EV is the return of the rotary. There are some fresh details about the Hyundai Kona's powertrain. Plus, a company is making limousine and hearse versions of the Ford Mustang Mach-E.

With 300 or so episodes under their belt, it seems like the hosts of the Unnamed Automotive Podcast are taking things a bit more seriously... that is, after the unbelivable holiday break and other international shenanigans. While Sami keeps things light-hearted and entertaining, Benjamin dives into the new 2023 Land Rover Defender 130, which is billed as "the more family friendly rugged off-roader." After the new Defender gains a whole new standard row of seating, and 500 pounds of mass, Benjamin has plenty to say about the big SUV, and where it stands in the never-ending list of SUVs on the market. Then the guys talk about the 2023 BMW M850i Coupe, a Grand Tourer that seemingly nails the execution and sticks the landing. Powerful, attractive, comfortable and high-tech, the guys wonder what the BMW can't do, and try to figure out which other vehicles simply check all the boxes they're supposed to without trying to be everything to everyone. Finally, the guys talk about the latest news from General Motors regarding the Chevrolet C8 Corvette e-Ray. Don't forget to subscribe and review, and if you liked today's episode why not tip the team through Ko-Fi.

Show #1446 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Monday 25th April, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. VOLKSWAGEN MAKES CHARGING EASIER AND MORE CONVENIENT - The volume brands Volkswagen, Cupra/Seat and ŠKODA are now offering simple tariffs for public charging, allowing customers to charge at fixed kilowatt-hour prices throughout the entire charging network. With this step, the company creates optimal cost transparency. - In the future, customers will have the choice between three basic tariffs, each with fixed prices per kilowatt hour charged. The new tariffs apply to customers of We Charge (Volkswagen), Powerpass (ŠKODA), Easy Charging (SEAT/CUPRA) and Elli and offer top conditions for Ionity fast chargers, among other benefits. - Depending on the country, prices can be different, but always follow the same logic.02 Elli, our in-house brand, which is responsible for all activities in the Group around the topic of charging & energy is the backbone of the offer. - charging stations will be highlighted in the e-cars navigation system and drivers will be offered the option of choosing to drive there. The quality criteria will include reliability, weather protection and if there is a catering option. This means that customers will be able to target charging stations with a canopy and coffee offering. The program is scheduled to start later this year. - Another component of the quality offensive is the market launch of Plug&Charge. The function will be activated from the middle of the year via a software update in all e-cars of the volume brands based on the MEB architecture. The vehicle identifies itself at the corresponding charging stations using the ISO 15118 standard and automatically starts the charging process. Plug&Charge is supported by IONITY, Aral/bp, E.ON and Iberdrola Original Source : https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/quality-offensive-volkswagen-makes-charging-easier-and-more-convenient-7902 RIVIAN R1T CAN NOW CHARGE AT UP TO 500 AMPS WITH NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE - the latest 2022.11.02 software update for the Rivian R1T all-electric pickup, released this month and examined by Out of Spec Reviews. - Kyle Conner, among various changes, Rivian has increased the maximum DC fast charging current from 450 A to 500 A, which is expected to slightly increase the rate of range replenishing. - Now, we saw that it can take 498 A right away at a low state-of-charge, which combined with around 400 V is over 200 kW - 204 kW at 14% SOC to be specific. The peak (according to the charger's display) was about 217 kW, above 40% SOC. That's actually very close to the 210 kW peak value declared in technical papers. Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/581819/rivian-r1t-500a-charging-software-update/ HEAT PUMPS INCLUDED IN GM EVS COULD GIVE THEM A REAL-WORLD RANGE ADVANTAGE - GM confirmed Monday that it plans to include heat-pump technology in all of its current and upcoming Ultium-platform electric vehicles. - That includes the Hummer EV now being delivered and the soon-arriving Cadillac Lyriq, plus many more to arrive in the next several years. In them, the tech will help recover low-level waste heat in ways that can add up in meaningful ways—bringing them quicker acceleration, faster charging, and a longer range - the one in GM EVs employs a compressor-and-evaporator component system and a specially chosen refrigerant that undergoes a phase change. A physical reaction pays off in the release of energy as it goes from gas to liquid—to in effect amplify whatever energy it can scavenge along the way. - That extra can go toward cabin heating, low-level electrical functions, or even preconditioning of the battery—potentially extending range by as much as 10%. Original Source : https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1135681_heat-pumps-included-in-gm-evs-could-give-them-a-real-world-range-advantage GM INTRODUCES NEW ENERGY-SAVING FEATURE FOR EVS  - “Having a ground-up EV architecture gives us the freedom to build in standard features like Ultium's energy recovery capabilities,” said Doug Parks, GM executive vice president, global product development, purchasing and supply chain. “This helps us squeeze more efficiency, performance and overall customer benefit out of our EVs.” - Ultium's energy recovery even enables GMC Hummer EV's Watts to Freedom feature. Energy recovery pre-cools the propulsion system to help the all-electric supertruck accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 3 seconds. Original Source : https://businessjournaldaily.com/gm-introduces-new-energy-saving-feature-for-evs/ GM's EV Tech Captures Body Heat and Uses It to Warm the Cabin - Covered by 11 patents and four publications, the development of Ultium energy recovery traces its inception back to GM's first EV, the EV1, in the late 1990s, when GM engineers first developed an EV heat pump. Ultium energy recovery is available on all current Ultium vehicles and planned for future Ultium vehicles. Original Source : https://www.designdevelopmenttoday.com/industries/automotive/news/22197256/gms-ev-tech-captures-body-heat-and-uses-it-to-warm-the-cabin GM SAYS IT WILL PRODUCE ELECTRIC CHEVROLET CORVETTES - General Motors will produce an electrified Chevrolet Corvette next year, followed by an all-electric version of the iconic sports car, GM President Mark Reuss said Monday. - Reuss said the automaker will continue to manufacture traditional models with internal combustion engines alongside the electrified models. He declined to disclose when the all-electric Corvette would be released or whether the “electrified” model would be a traditional hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. - GM's confirmation of the electrified Corvettes comes amid increased pressure from Wall Street for legacy automakers to better compete against EV industry leader Tesla. It also comes a day before GM's crosstown rival, Ford Motor, is scheduled to host an event for its electric F-150 Lightning pickup, which has received significant attention from investors and media.
