The 6-speed swapped Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series is finally here, and Jason drove it! Derek's – or rather OTS's – OEM-grade 6-speed manual CLK63 Black Series by Kwiek Classics is done, and Jason and Derek get behind the wheel to review the car that AMG should've built all along.  Enthusiasts around the world have never had a chance to interact directly with AMG's only clean-sheet engine, the M156 – a monster 6.2L, 32-valve, DOHC, cross-plane V8 making 500 horsepower for the CLK63 Black Series. But now, thanks to Matt Kwiek at Kwiek Classics, we finally can! And it's why Derek and his business partners at OTS bought one for Matt to manual swap using OEM Mercedes-Benz parts. The swap is done, and the car is here in the Bay Area where the Carmudgeons got to row the gears in AMG's widebody beast of the noughties. By junking the recalcitrant automatic transmission, the car is transformed into the athlete its flared fenders promise it to be. Combine the manual trans with the factory triple-adjustable dampers (which feel like they're full of sand in its current track configuration, though according to Jason are magical with the settings Mercedes used at the launch event) and the CLK63 Black Series becomes a car that even the most curmudgeonly enthusiast will struggle to come up with an excuse not to buy. As familiar and confidence-inspiring as the best M cars like E36 and E46 M3, and with an engine more engaging and experiential than the likes of the E39 M5. Even better to drive than a V8 Vantage and a Lexus LFA. Unlike typical 3-pedal swaps that lend themselves to terrible throttle mapping (see: Pagani Zonda), this one is a 9 out of 10, and an easy “marry” over a plethora of Ferraris: Testarossa, 355, 550 – even a Porsche 997 GT3. After the AMG, we dive into Jason's recent dyno day at Chuckles Garage in NorCal, where Jason managed to take 3 spots on the dyno's leaderboard for least horsepower (not including Jason, who can put down 500 watts). Jason got power numbers on his E31 BMW 850CSi, the Rover SD1 3500 V8, and the Honda Beat. Plus a friend brings along a Euro-spec 850CSi for comparison. Using some Turner Motorsport chips for the dual-ECU S70 850CSi motor, in conjunction with some Ferrari 599 mufflers, Jason's CSi managed to beat the Euro car at 304 rear wheel horsepower. But even with Ferrari exhaust, the 850 still needs help in the sound department. Luckily, @czechmate_e30 is working with a fabricator to make a set of stepped headers for BMW V12s! Then, with fresh dyno numbers in hand, Jason combines the data with the power figures from the rest of his fleet, and indexes them by percentage of peak power versus percentage of peak RPM. The resulting graph provides an excellent visualization as to where and how each of his car's engines makes their power. Science! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Henrik Fisker the iconic automotive designer is interviewed by David Cogan of the Eliances Heroes radio show amfm. Fisker discusses car design and how inspiration comes from sketching and thinking about what he wants to see on the road. Fisker is a real creator, entrepreneur, innovator, mentor, and brand ambassador that has designed such iconic cars and James Bond style Ashton Martins, BMWs, V8 Vantage, Fisker Karma, Viking Motorcycles, Rocket, Destino and Force 1. Passion drives creation of his dream vehicles. He talks about how not all designs work and the difficulty of designing cars. From childhood to now he's always loved cars and wanted to be a designer. True vision and american design school helped him get his start.

Me confieso un fan de la saga de Bond, James Bond. Entre otras cosas por el protagonismo que suelen tener los coches en estas películas. Y es que el creador del personaje, Ian Fleming, era un fanático del automóvil. Vamos a repasar todos los coches que ha conducido nuestro agente secreto favorito… te vas a sorprender: Ha conducido desde un Citroën 2CV… hasta medio R11. Y algunos, completamente olvidados… Ya explicaremos lo del “medio”… Por lo general se asume que James Bond, muy “brittish” él, lleva un Aston Martin y generalmente un DB5. Este es un error común, pues evidentemente no es el único coche de James Bond, ni siquiera se ha usado en la mayoría de las 25 películas producidas hasta la fecha ni, desde luego, ha sido el primero. Ese honor, el de ser el primero, le corresponde al Blower Bentley 4.5 litros de 1930. Y muchos diréis que no habéis visto ese coche en ninguna películas… así es. Pero es el coche que usa James Bond en su primera novela, Casino Royale, aparecida en 1953. Y para el que piense que el DB5 es el primer coche usado por James Bond en una película… ¡Pues también se equivoca! Ese honor le corresponde a otro coche muy británico, pese a que su nombre suene francés, el Sumbeam Alpine de 1962. Vamos a repasar todos o casi todos los coches que condujo James Bond, ya sea porque era su coche, porque era el coche de su “empresa”, el MI16 o porque los alquilaba cuando llegaba a alguno de los escenarios idílicos propios de la serie. Citaremos la película en la que aparece, con el título usado en España, un año de referencia, a veces del coche a veces del estreno de la película. 1. Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible (1957). Aparece en la primera película de la saga “Agente 007 contra el Dr. No” 2. Sunbeam Alpine (1962). En esa misma película el coche que “chupa” más pantalla es alquilado y es el citado Sunbeam Alpine de 1952, un deportivo relativamente modesto de 1,6 litros y 80 CV. 3. Bentley 3 ½ Litre (1935). Llegamos a la segunda película de la saga “Desde Rusia con amor” en la que el MI16 cede al agente 007 un coche con estilo y clase, pero algo “entrado en años”. 4. Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Y, ¡Por fin! en la tercera película de la saga, “James Bond contra Goldfinger” aparece el DB5. Este coche repite en varias películas, en ocasiones “compartiendo cartel” con modelos más modernos: Es el caso, entre otras, de “Operación Trueno”, “Goldeneye”, “El mañana nunca muere”, “Casino Royal” y otras. 5. Aston Martin DBS (1969). Un gran olvidado y un coche para mi precioso. Aparece en el film “El servicio secreto de su majestad”. 6. “Moon Buggy” (1971). Es que James Bond llegó hasta la luna en “Diamantes para la eternidad” película en la que Sean Connery huye de los malos a los mandos de este buggy lunar. 7. AMC Hornet (1971). En “El hombre de la pistola de oro” suben al Roger Moore en nada menos que en AMC Hornet… 8. AMC Matador Coupé “volador” (1974). Porque en 1974, en la misma película crearon un AMC “volador” que volaba de verdad… solo a baja altura. Un peligro. 9. Lotus Esprit (1977). Bond le es infiel a Aston Martin y utiliza un coche muy británico, diseñado por Giugiaro y muy especial: El Lotus Esprit. Primero en “La espía que me amo” y luego en versión Turbo en “Solo para tus ojos”. Es muy famosa la versión “submarina” de la primera película… apodada “Wet Nelie”. 10. Citroën 2 CV (1981). Para mí una de las mejores persecuciones del cine y de la saga 007 la puedes ver en “Solo para tus ojos”. 11. Bajaj RE (1983). He incluido este triciclo como una “Licencia periodística” pues no es en esencia un coche… pero ¡que espectáculo” Esta persecución de la película “Octopussy” por el mercado indio de Udaipur os aseguro que vale la pena… y como siempre, Roger Moore ni se despeina… 12. Renault 11 (1985). Aparece en la película “Panorama para matar”. Otra persecución espectacular, sobre todo cuando el coche se parte por la mitad y mi James Bond favorito, Roger Moore, sigue con medio R11 como si tal cosa. 12+1. Aston Martin V8 Vantage (1977). Timothy Dalton se estrena en “007 Alta tensión” de 1987… para mi es probablemente el peor, o el menos bueno, James Bond de todos. No así su coche, un espectacular V8 Vantage. 14. BMW Z3 (1995). En 1995 y con Pierce Brosnan el MI16 “se echa al monte” y deja de utilizar coches británicos para pasarse a BMW. Para mí un Z3, con todos mis respetos, no le pega nada a James Bond. 15. BMW 750i (1997). Aunque menos le pega el Serie 7 E38 de “El mañana nunca muere”. Brosnan no tuvo buena suerte con sus coches… como veremos… 16. BMW Z8 (2000). En la penúltima película de Brosnan, por fin, le dan un coche “decente” … aunque no sea inglés: Nos referimos al BMW Z8, rabiosa novedad en ese momento. Potente, precioso pero que no nos hacía olvidar a los Aston Martin. 17. Aston Martin Vanquish (2001). En “Muere otro día” vuelta, con acierto, a Aston Martin. 18. Aston Martin DB9 (2004). En el film “Spectre” aparece uno de mis coches favoritos. 19. Aston Martin DB10 (2014). Como este DB10 un coche creado por y para la película “Spectre” y en cuyo diseño participó el propio director de la película, Sam Mendes. 20. Aston Martin Valhalla (2019). Este modelo, presentado como prototipo en 2019, fue el protagonista junto con Craig de la película “Sin tiempo para morir” de 2021, de momento la última de la saga… Me he divertido con este guion… creo que Rodrigo no tanto buscando imágenes de estos 20 coches.

What happened? Why? And most importantly: what will happen to the cars?Jason’s met Palmer and has spent a bunch of time with Moers: what’s his best guess at what happened, and what the former AMG-boss will do for Aston’s lineup? Will the V8 Vantage, DB11, and DBS be fixed so they finally live up to their predecessors?The DB9 and previous Vantage were as spectacular to drive as they were to look at. The current cars just aren’t. And they’re not particularly good-looking, so it ain’t a high bar.But financial troubles and CEO drama is a hallmark of Aston Martin’s history, as Derek describes. Aston Martin has had its share of bankruptcies and “receiverships” from even before the David Brown days — and the company has enjoyed multiple Golden Eras. Will the Tobias Moers era be another? After all, many niche brands (Bugatti, Bentley, Rolls-Royce) have done well under German stewardship.As promised in the episode:Jason and Anthony’s video on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage 4.7 with a Fabspeed/Larini exhaust:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b83sS... =The Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled 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.ISSIMI brings trust and transparency to previously opaque and expensive transactions.

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.
