We review the new Audi RS6 Avant Performance, G99 BMW M5 Touring, Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance and Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. One looks spectacular, one has the most impressive suspension of all time, and one is unbuyable. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US.

We've got Jason's blue E30 325i Touring in the garage as we discuss a pair of long-roof autobahn bruisers: the G99 BMW M5 Touring and C8 Audi RS6 Avant Performance. With the cancellation of Porsche's Panamera Sport Turismo, we turn to Porsche's top-spec suppository in its stead: the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. And, similarly, with the E63 wagon gone, we'll review the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance to tide us over until the new E53 wagon arrives. Starting with the brand new BMW M5 Touring: a letdown as serious as its curb weight. A twin-turbo hot-vee V-8 alongside some EV juice dolls out 717 hp, but long before you're able to stretch its legs the suspension will have you nauseous. It heaves and lunges over road imperfections, and the rear-wheel steering makes it feel like you're perpetually entering the D dimension. Even with new, chunky-sidewalled Pirelli P Zero R tires, the ride is harsh, and the suspension is blatantly unfinished. Do a hard launch and prepare for simultaneous – and yet somehow also out-of-phase – wheelspin and violent pogoing. Things aren't much better styling-wise – the front-end treatment is positively hideous, and there's comparatively little backseat and cargo room next to the Audi. Overall, a huge let down, and a far cry from the delightful G80 M3 (buck teeth aside). Sadly, it will be a long, long while before we can import the G80 M3 Touring. However, it's worth noting that early M products have had teething issues before (including the beloved E90 M3). Jason suggests waiting for the arrival of the Competition Pack, but you'll still be stuck with a gaudy interior and byzantine infotainment system. The Audi RS6 Performance on the other hand is an absolute delight and unexpectedly fabulous. Without the bulk of hybrid batteries, the Audi weighs in at 400 lbs lighter than the Bimmer. It's all-around gorgeous – inside and out – and has loads of room for both passengers and cargo. Its steering is genuinely superior to the BMW's and Jason dubs it the “best wagon in the world.” As for the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid – it's Bose's 1990s dream realized. Jason heralds it as the most impressive suspension he's ever felt – ever. Like if a Rolls-Royce could turn. It comes equipped with the same potent powertrain found in the Bentley Continental GT Speed and Flying Spur, which is so powerful it earned the Porsche the label of quickest 4-door ICE car ever (the 4-door electric monsters still have it beat – the Lucid Air Sapphire and Tesla Model S Plaid both run in the 9s). And lastly, we have Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance – a charmer. The interior is slightly gaudy but otherwise splendid. Our particular car's cabin was a huge improvement over the Macanese bordellos of previous W223s and W222s. The convoluted and clunky drivetrain was an occasional annoyance (and has origins as far back as the first C43 and E63 wagon), but the Benz was mostly a delight to operate despite weighing more than a fully laden minivan – and 3000 lbs more than Jason's E30. The boys wonder why Mercedes has refused to implement the types of suspensions Porsche and Ferrari figured out for their sports cars years ago that allow for ultra-smooth cruising without sacrificing handling. In any case, the S63's ¼-mile time leaves Derek's jaw on the floor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donald Trump a schimbat complet tactica în ceea ce privește tarifele vamale. A trecut de la strategia de mână forte la negocieri. China și Uniunea Europeană pot să ajungă la o înțelegere comercială cu SUA. După ce 100 de zile din mandatul actual președintele american a răsturnat lumea cu tarifele sale vamale, Donald Trump se întoarce la intenții mai bune.Ieri, reprezentanți ai SUA și ai Chinei au anunțat că s-a ajuns la un acord privind taxele vamale. Cele două state au convenit să suspende pentru 90 de zile o parte din taxele vamale impuse în urmă cu câteva săptămâni. Suspendarea taxelor vamale va fi operațională începând de mâine.Spectaculos este nivelul convenit de reducere a taxelor. Dacă până mai ieri, importurile dinChina în SUA erau taxate cu 145%, de mâine tarifele vamale vor scădea la 30%. Invers, importurile din SUA în China vor fi taxate cu 10% în loc de 125%. Desigur, diferența de cote este „ca de la cer la pământ”, dar la un tarif de 145% era foarte probabil ca puține mărfuri să mai poată fi tranzacționate între cele două economii.Deocamdată, vorbim doar despre un acord limitat în timp. În cele 90 de zile de suspendare a tarifelor vamale cele două părți vor negocia. Este să recunoaștem un pas înainte pentru o înțelegere comercială între SUA și China. De asemenea, să ne aducem aminte că între SUA șiUniunea Europeană au loc negocieri pentru a găsi o serie de soluții în ceea ce privește tarifele vamale reciproce.S-ar părea că Donald Trump s-a schimbat radical. Este posibil să fi fost o tehnică de negociere? Se poate, numai că Donald Trump a întins foarte mult „coarda” ajungându-se ca piețele să devină volatile, ca nivelul de incertitudine din economie să crească foarte mult sau ca o parte dintre consumatori să se manifeste împotriva companiilor deținute de oamenii care lucrează alături de Trump.Ieri, piețele au devenit dintr-odată exuberante la anunțul celor două administrații. Astfel, prețul petrolului a crescut cu 3%, indicii bursieri au urcat, dolarul s-a apreciat față de yen și față de euro. Să ne aducem aminte că războiul comercial declanșat de Donald Trump a avut ca prime efecte o scădere a monedei naționale, dolarul, în raport de alte valute.Unii experți ne îndeamnă să ne bucurăm reținut spunând că practic ne aflăm doar în fața unei suspendări a tarifelor vamale. Cu toate acestea, în urmă cu câteva săptămâni totul părea blocat în relația comercială SUA-China, iar acum se poate vedea cum revine optimismul atât pe piețe, cât și în rândul politicienilor de ambele părți,Cine a câștigat? Trump cu tehnica sa abruptă de negociere care se vede acum că a funcționat? Sau China care de pe poziția sa fermă a reușit să îl „îndoaie” pe Donald Trump? Deocamdată, nu știm cine a câștigat, pentru că mai avem de așteptat cel puțin 90 de zile.De altfel, abordarea lui Trump s-a schimbat substanțial. De exemplu, săptămâna trecută, președintele american a anunțat un acord comercial cu Marea Britanie. Chiar dacă datele înțelegerii nu au fost finalizate un lucru este cert și anume că Marea Britanie va deschide piețele pentru produse americane în valoare de câteva miliarde de dolari, printre care carnea de vită, etanolul și pentru materiile prime agricole. De partea cealaltă, industria auto britanică va beneficia de o reducere a taxării de la 27,5% la 10% pentru o limită de 100.000 de mașini pe an, adică totalul exporturilor de anul precedent.Secretarul de stat american pentrucomerț a anunțat că firmele britanice vor putea să exporte în America fără taxe vamale piese de avioane, inclusiv motoare Rolls Royce. În schimb, o companie britanică va cumpăra avioane Boeing în valoare de 10 miliarde de dolari.Totodată, Uniunea Europeană a început un proces de negociere cu SUA pe tema tarifelor vamale. Vom vedea dacă se va ajunge la un rezultat, dar cert este că Donald Trump „a întors foaia” pe subiectul taxelor vamale trecând de la tactica “pumnului în masă” la negocieri.

Jetzt chumii grad nimä druss.    Gespräche am Nebentisch / die Musikstudentinnen und ja Klavier spielt man nicht nur mit den Händen, nein mit dem Körper, somit kann man Sehenentzündungen in Handgelenken vermeiden, gerade wenn viel geprobt werden muss. Und diese Aussage, habe ich mir zu Herzen genommen. Gleich am nächsten Tag zog es mich an den Flügel - ich übte mit dem Körper und nicht nur mit den Händen, am Flügel zu spielen.    Socialy anxious, self sabotage, es fielen einige Wörter am Nebentisch, ein interessantes Gespräch der Musikstudentinnen und im „Kaffee+Wermut“ wo die Tische so eng zusammen gestellt sind, eignet sich das BELAUSCHEN der Gäste wunderbar.    Fendärboerg - Määärchending-dising ? Ich habe eine wirklich clevere Stammkundschaft und die BEA war einfach genial, ein bisschen Schleichwerbung für Radio Supersaxo und anstehenden Projekte, ich meine wenn die Kunden:innen so fragen was denn gerade so läuft? Sicher haben wir auch Werbung für den Tag der offenen Weinkellereien Ende Monat gemacht, aber eben.  Passion + Emotion = Friendship / ich meine jeder Winzer/inn könnte zb einem Mitarbeiter:in welcher so zb 10 Jahre beim ihm gearbeitet hat einen Jubiläumswein widmen Der-die Mitarbeiterin kreiert mit dem Winzer:in ihren Wein? Der Mitarbeiter:in steht hinter seiner Kreation und faikauft das was selber mitkriegt hat um so besser? Aber Godi, das Poster mit der Frau und dem roten Hintergrund erinnert zu sehr an SP - das geht ja gar nicht. Ideen wie Abhol-Event, zb: in Kombination mit dem Tag der offenen Weinkellereien?

Nun gut das Thema Parkplätze hatten wir ja schon aber eben - Behindertenparklpätze und für mich ein NO-GO werden diese missbräuchlich genutzt - wie zb von der eigentlich noch jungen Frau hier im Dorf - aktive Skifahrerin - pflegt mit Ihrer Elektro-Karosse durch das Dorf zu gondeln - nun gut sie wohnt am anderen Ende der Dorfes - parkiert auf dem Behindertenparkplatz - pflegt von da aus einen kleinen Spaziergang zur Massage Anbieterin und holt dann später ihren Elektro auf dem Behinderten Parkplatz ab - LINKS und RECHTS hätte es genug freie Plätze !

Dazu gab es einen sehr feinen Sauvignon Blanc. Zum Hauptgang Flank Steak mit feinster Sauce und einem Kräuteröl. Das Steak in einer Thymian Kruste - mega und Bärlauch-Gnocci und knackiges Gemüse - dazu passte der Blaufränkische Rotwein mega gut. Immer wieder gerne. Eine riesen Kompliment ans Schloss Hünigen - ans TEAM - ihr seid Spitze.        Und zum Abschluss.    U mini isch nid dini,  U dini isch nid mini,    Üssär dini, welti jetzt mini si,  Dä la ni dier mini - dini la si.    Mini isch ja nid wirkli mini, U äu im Mini isch schi a fini.

Trump is touting his trade deal with the U.K., which he bragged will lead to an increased influx in the number of Rolls Royces to the U.S.  He also says that the mounting crisis at America's ports, which could lead to people losing their jobs, is proof that the U.S. economy isn't losing money. It's a real head scratcher. After that, Georgetown professor of Indian politics Irfan Nooruddin is here to help contextualize the ratcheting of tensions between Indian and Pakistan over Kashmir. As Professor Nooruddin points out, both nuclear armed countries have domestic political and economic incentives to forge ahead with this dangerous tit for tat. In the Fun Half, we're joined by the usual Thursday suspects, Matt Binder & Brandon Sutton to check in on Laura Loomer's crusade against top Trump administration officials, this time Pam Bondi (who she refers to as Pam Blondi). Tim Pool is upset that one of his favorite punk band's singers is trans and played at a Bernie rally. After that, Russ, Matt, Brandon and Binder watch some zany clips of Lindy Li talking to Tara Palmeri about her new book (kind of).

Quand on imagine un Viking en plein combat, on pense immédiatement à une grande hache tranchante brandie avec rage. Et ce n'est pas un cliché : les Vikings utilisaient bel et bien majoritairement des haches au combat, bien plus que des épées. Mais pourquoi ce choix ? Était-ce une question de stratégie, de tradition… ou tout simplement de budget ? Plongeons dans les coulisses de l'armement viking.La hache : un outil devenu armeD'abord, la hache était un outil courant dans la vie quotidienne des Scandinaves. Qu'il s'agisse de couper du bois, de construire des bateaux ou d'abattre des arbres, chaque foyer possédait une ou plusieurs haches. Résultat : c'était une arme familière, robuste et polyvalente. En temps de guerre, il suffisait de renforcer le manche ou d'affûter la lame pour transformer cet objet domestique en arme redoutable.Les archéologues ont retrouvé de nombreuses haches de guerre spécifiques, notamment la célèbre "hache danoise", longue et à lame large, utilisée à deux mains. D'autres modèles étaient plus compacts, légers et rapides, parfaits pour les raids éclairs.L'épée : un luxe réservé à l'éliteL'épée, elle, n'était pas à la portée de tous. Fabriquée en fer, souvent décorée, équilibrée et nécessitant un savoir-faire de forgeron très avancé, elle coûtait extrêmement cher. Pour un Viking ordinaire, l'épée représentait un symbole de richesse et de prestige.Certaines épées, comme les fameuses Ulfberht, étaient si bien conçues qu'on les considère comme les Rolls-Royce de l'époque. Elles étaient souvent transmises de génération en génération, accompagnées de rituels funéraires. Mais dans un combat de masse ou un raid, peu de guerriers en possédaient réellement.Efficacité et brutalitéLa hache n'avait pas seulement l'avantage du coût : elle était aussi terriblement efficace.

Quand on imagine un Viking en plein combat, on pense immédiatement à une grande hache tranchante brandie avec rage. Et ce n'est pas un cliché : les Vikings utilisaient bel et bien majoritairement des haches au combat, bien plus que des épées. Mais pourquoi ce choix ? Était-ce une question de stratégie, de tradition… ou tout simplement de budget ? Plongeons dans les coulisses de l'armement viking.La hache : un outil devenu armeD'abord, la hache était un outil courant dans la vie quotidienne des Scandinaves. Qu'il s'agisse de couper du bois, de construire des bateaux ou d'abattre des arbres, chaque foyer possédait une ou plusieurs haches. Résultat : c'était une arme familière, robuste et polyvalente. En temps de guerre, il suffisait de renforcer le manche ou d'affûter la lame pour transformer cet objet domestique en arme redoutable.Les archéologues ont retrouvé de nombreuses haches de guerre spécifiques, notamment la célèbre "hache danoise", longue et à lame large, utilisée à deux mains. D'autres modèles étaient plus compacts, légers et rapides, parfaits pour les raids éclairs.L'épée : un luxe réservé à l'éliteL'épée, elle, n'était pas à la portée de tous. Fabriquée en fer, souvent décorée, équilibrée et nécessitant un savoir-faire de forgeron très avancé, elle coûtait extrêmement cher. Pour un Viking ordinaire, l'épée représentait un symbole de richesse et de prestige.Certaines épées, comme les fameuses Ulfberht, étaient si bien conçues qu'on les considère comme les Rolls-Royce de l'époque. Elles étaient souvent transmises de génération en génération, accompagnées de rituels funéraires. Mais dans un combat de masse ou un raid, peu de guerriers en possédaient réellement.Efficacité et brutalitéLa hache n'avait pas seulement l'avantage du coût : elle était aussi terriblement efficace. Grâce à son poids décalé, elle permettait des frappes puissantes capables de briser des boucliers, d'éventrer des armures légères ou de désarmer un adversaire. Certaines étaient dotées de crochets, permettant d'agripper un bouclier ou de tirer un ennemi au sol.De plus, dans la tradition viking, le combat rapproché, brutal et direct était valorisé. La hache incarnait cette philosophie du guerrier sans fioritures, efficace et sans peur.Une arme identitaireEnfin, la hache était aussi un marqueur culturel. Elle symbolisait l'identité scandinave, à tel point qu'on la retrouve gravée sur des pierres runiques, des pendentifs, et même dans les mythes — le dieu Thor lui-même manie une arme lourde, le marteau Mjöllnir, qui partage une parenté symbolique avec la hache.En résumé, les Vikings se battaient avec des haches parce que c'était pratique, économique, redoutable… et profondément enraciné dans leur culture.

A finales de 1997 se presentó el Clase A, un Mercedes revolucionario por su tamaño, su distribución mecánica y su tracción delantera. Era un coche clave para la marca, que quería crecer hacia arriba con Maybach y hacia abajo con este Clase A. Pero el 21 de octubre de 1997 un alce se cruzó en el camino… y Mercedes tembló. Y a mí me afectó… y mucho. Pero este asunto tuvo consecuencias muy beneficiosas… A Mercedes en esas fechas las cosas les iban bien… pero les podrían ir mejor. Por un lado, su fama de coches Premium de gran calidad era magnifica, pero tras la desaparición en 1993 del 190 gama arrancaba muy arriba, con el Clase C como oferta más asequible… Esto les privaba de competir en el sector de mercado de mayor venta en Europa y además colaboraba al envejecimiento de sus clientes, de alto poder adquisitivo, muy conservadores…. pero que envejecían año a año. Y por otro lado la marca rival de toda la vida de Mercedes, que no es otra que BMW, se había comprado la prestigiosa marca Rolls Royce, para competir con la parte más alta de la gama Mercedes. Y, como hemos dicho, Mercedes quería crecer por arriba y por abajo. Por arriba, lanzaron la desaparecida, pero muy prestigiosa marca Maybach para hacer berlinas de muy alto nivel capaces de competir con Rolls Royce. Pero necesitaban un coche de acceso y llevaban años trabajando en su Clase más asequible, el futuro A. Este modelo era toda una revolución para Mercedes y no solo por ser un tracción delantera, sino porque era muy pequeño para ser un Mercedes, solo 3.575 m de largo, bastante alto, casi 1,60 metros y con línea de monovolumen. El objetivo de conseguir una buena habitabilidad era posible gracias a su motor transversal delantero muy inclinado, lo que hacía que el capó fuese especialmente corto. Ya sabéis que en Europa los países nórdicos siempre han sido muy mirados para los temas de seguridad. Y también sabéis que en la península escandinava abundan los alces, un bicho muy grande, de hasta 1,90 metros de alto en la cruz, la parte delantera del lomo y pesar más de 500 kg. Por eso hacen la llamada Prueba del alce”. Porque ahora nos vamos al Salón de Tokio de 1997, a la presentación del nuevo Maybach, de la mano de Jürgen Hubbert que en esas fechas era el responsable máximo de la División de automóviles de pasajeros y miembro del Consejo de Administración de Mercedes-Benz… en lenguaje coloquial, uno de los jefazos. Lo que sucedió es que con el periodista Robert Collin al volante, de la revista técnica y del motor sueca Teknikens Värld, el novísimo, flamante y sofisticado Mercedes Clase A había volcado cuando se hacía la prueba del alce. Lo malo: El Clase A había volcado y no había superado la prueba del alce. Lo peor: Cuando volcó el coche, iban dentro 5 periodistas… no se produjeron lesiones serias, pero iba a ser imposible ocultarlo. Y lo pésimo: Ese mismo día un modesto Trabant fabricado en la desaparecida Alemania del Este, había pasado sin problemas la misma prueba… toda una humillación. Lo cimientos de Mercedes temblaron… Toda la comitiva de Mercedes volvió apresuradamente a Stuttgart para organizar un “Gabinete de Crisis” por el que desfilaron directivos, ingenieros, técnicos, proveedores como Bosch, de donde vino la parte más importante de la solución e incluso pilotos de Fórmula 1. Mercedes-Benz es mucha Mercedes-Benz y una metedura de pata de este calibre requería una solución drástica, sin reparar en gastos. Como primera medida, se retiraron las primeras 17.000 unidades ya vendidas, para modificarlas. Y se hicieron muchas mejoras. Toda esta crisis me pilló de lleno como responsable de las revistas de coches de la que era, entonces, la editorial más importante de España del sector. Creo que es la única vez en mi vida que recibí presiones de una marca para dar una información… más bien para no darla. A las pocas horas de conocer el famoso vuelco, se presentó en la redacción nada más y nada menos que el presidente y consejero delegado de Mercedes-Benz España, el Sr. Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros, una persona de mucho, muchísimo nivel y a quien admiro mucho… pero que me presionó lo indecible. Poniendo todos de nuestra parte finalmente llegamos a un acuerdo. Contaríamos lo que había pasado, pero diciendo que el coche accidentado no era el que se iba a vender y daríamos nuestra opinión de cómo iba el coche definitivo cuando lo probásemos. Así que muy poco después me desplace a Alemania a probar el Mercedes Clase A con todas las modificaciones citadas. Además de la prueba en carretera e incluso circuito, pude hacer tantas maniobras de esquiva como se me antojaron, incluida la famosa prueba del alce… y os aseguro que el coche respondió a la perfección.

El Seat Cupra GT es un coche a menudo olvidado… cuando es un coche muy especial. El único Gran Turismo de la marca, nacido para la competición, que llego a montar una mecánica Lamborghini V10 y quizás, lo más importante de todo, que fue una semilla para la que hoy es una marca de éxito, Cupra. ¿Os apetece repasar conmigo su historia? Os aseguro que vale la pena… Se puede decir que los 90 fueron una época dorada para Seat, desde luego en el terreno deportivo. En 1996, en su segundo año de participación en el Mundial de Rallyes en la categoría de 2 ruedas motrices Seat vence el certamen con su Seat Ibiza Kit Car. Y para celebrarlo lanzan el primer Seat Cupra en 1996 con motor 2 litros de 150 CV y afinado por la propia Seat Sport. Un coche que he podido probar en su momento y luego en varias ocasiones después y es, sin duda, el Seat Ibiza que más me gusta. Cupra viene de “Cup Racing” y quería simbolizar que la pasión por la competición y la deportividad la podíamos disfrutar en nuestros coches del día a día… que bien sonaba entonces, pero sinceramente, ahora suena tan bien como poco creíble. Seat Sport, con el inquieto y muy competente Jaime Puig al frente, no para de hacer proyectos nacionales, internacionales, en rallyes y en circuitos. Francia y Europa en general era un gran mercado para Seat y para dar a conocer la marca, a comienzo de la década de los 2000 se les ocurre la brillante idea de participar en el Campeonato Francés de Superturismos, un certamen con un reglamente que permitía casi todo… y nace el Seat Toledo Silhouette con un chasis multitubular y equipado con un motor central V6 Biturbo de 3 litros y 30 válvulas, con una potencia superior a 470 CV. Consiguieron el subcampeonato gracias al piloto belga Vincent Radermecker. Ferdinand Piech, nada más y nada menos que sobrino del mismísimo Ferdinand Porsche comenzó su carrera, como no, en Porsche, pero luego fue fichado por VW, en realidad por el grupo VAG y llegó a ser consejero y presidente del consejo de administración entre 1993 hasta 2002, cuando fue sustituido por Bernd Pischetsrieder. Con él a los mandos, gran apasionado del Motorsport y de los coches, la marca Audi comenzó a competir de tú a tú con BMW y Mercedes, el grupo VAG se hizo con el control de Bentley y Rolls-Royce y en general, las marcas del grupo Seat incluida, se volcaron en la competición. Con el apoyo de la central, que en ese momento pensaba que Seat podía ser la Alfa Romeo de VW y no quería cerrarla como ahora… otro video pendiente… y con el excelente equipo de Seat Sport con Jaime Puig al frente, Seat Sport decide crear el primer auténtico GT de la marca. ¿Y qué es lo primero que debe tener un GT que se precie? Pues una carrocería y una estética impactante y atractiva. Y Seat tenía un arma, no secreta precisamente, que era Walter de'Silva, uno de mis diseñadores favoritos. En los años 2000 y 2001 Seat había mostrado los prototipos Salsa y Tango, dos propuestas que eran atrevidas y que prefiguraban una nueva generación, pues recordemos que de'Silva fue el responsable del diseño de los Ibiza II, Córdoba, Altea, Toledo III y nada menos que el precioso y “eterno” Seat León I. Y como no, diseñó o participó activamente en el diseño del Seat Cupra GT que se presentó en el Salón de Barcelona de 2003… ¡que espectáculo! Un verdadero superdeportivo con alma de coche de carreras, no en vano estaba basado o al menos inspirado, en el citado Toledo Silhouette. Un Seat dispuesto a competir con Ferrari, Lamborghini o Porsche. De este coche hay mucho que contar. Como digo tanto el chasis multitubular, adaptado a la nueva carrocería más baja y ancha, como el motor, eran derivados o inspirados en el citado Toledo GT. El motor era el V6 de origen Audi de 2.995 cm3, para los más entendidos diré que curiosamente de carrera larga, 82,5 x 92,8, con dos turbos Garret doble Intercooler y 475 CV a 6.200 rpm… Contaba con un cambio secuencial nada menos que un Hewland de 6 marchas y diferencial autoblocante, tarado en aceleración a un 90 por ciento, casi como si fuese un kart. Los frenos eran AP Racing, de lo mejor del momento y el peso de apenas 1.100 kg. El Seat Cupra GT no llegó tan lejos, pero sí tuvo una segunda oportunidad en 2006. Seat Sport cedió los coches de competición al eficiente equipo Sun-Red capitaneado por un ex Seat Sport, el ingeniero Joan Orús. Para adaptarlo al nuevo reglamento hubo que hacer algunas modificaciones de calado, como estrecharlo, pues era de una anchura notable, 2,11 metros, y se limitó a solo 2 metros exactos. Y un pequeño detalle: Cambiar el motor original por un V10 atmosférico de 5 litros y cerca de 600 CV procedente de Lamborghini que ya en este momento, formaba parte del grupo VAG. Este coche consiguió un par de podios con nada menos que Gené acompañado de Vivancos… pero todos esperábamos más.

Notes from James: What if I told you that we could eliminate the IRS, get rid of personal income taxes completely, and still keep the government funded? Sounds impossible, right? Well, not only is it possible, but historical precedent shows it has been done before. I know what you're thinking—this sounds insane. But bear with me. The IRS collects $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes each year. But what if we could replace that with a national sales tax that adjusts based on what you buy? Under my plan: Necessities (food, rent, utilities) 5% tax Standard goods (clothes, furniture, tech) 15% tax Luxury goods (yachts, private jets, Rolls Royces) 50% tax And boom—we don't need personal income taxes anymore! You keep 100% of what you make, the economy booms, and the government still gets funded. This episode is a deep dive into how this could work, why it's better than a flat tax, and why no one in government will actually do this (but should). Let me know what you think—and if you agree, share this with a friend (or send it to Trump). Episode Description: What if you never had to pay personal income taxes again? In this mind-bending episode of The James Altucher Show, James tackles a radical idea buzzing from Trump, Elon Musk, and Howard Lutnick: eliminating the IRS. With $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes on the line, is it even possible? James says yes—and he's got a plan. Digging into history, economics, and a little-known concept called “money velocity,” James breaks down how the U.S. thrived in the 1800s without income taxes, relying on tariffs and “vice taxes” on liquor and tobacco. Fast forward to today: the government rakes in $4.9 trillion annually, but spends $6.7 trillion, leaving a gaping deficit. So how do you ditch the IRS without sinking the ship? James unveils his bold solution: a progressive national sales tax—5% on necessities like food, 15% on everyday goods like clothes, and a hefty 50% on luxury items like yachts and Rolls Royces. Seniors and those on Social Security? They'd pay nothing. The result? The government still nets $2.5 trillion, the economy grows by $3.7 trillion thanks to unleashed consumer spending, and you keep more of your hard-earned cash. No audits, no accountants, just taxes at the cash register. From debunking inflation fears to explaining why this could shrink the $36 trillion national debt, James makes a compelling case for a tax revolution. He even teases future episodes on tariffs and why a little debt might not be the enemy. Whether you're a skeptic or ready to tweet this to Trump, this episode will change how you see taxes—and the economy—forever. What You'll Learn: The history of taxes in America—and how the country thrived without an income tax in the 1800s Why the IRS exists and how it raises $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes every year How eliminating income taxes would boost the economy by $3.75 trillion annually My radical solution: a progressive national sales tax—and how it works Why this plan would actually put more money in your pocket Would prices skyrocket? No. Here's why.
