Ferdinand wanted to make cars for the people, but the Porsche brand we know is an empire of performance. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. It’s the podcast where we talk about empires that were built, businesses, business empires. You know what we… If you’ve listened before, you know… Stephen Semple: Something like that. I get it. Businesses that have done pretty well over the years. Dave Young: They started small. Stephen Semple: They started small. Dave Young: They started small and then they got big. They got so big to the point that you could call them an empire. Stephen Semple: That’s it. That’s the idea. Dave Young: It’s a pretty simple premise. Stephen Semple: That’s it. Dave Young: So as we counted down, Steve told me the topic today and it’s Porsche. Stephen Semple: Yes, sir. Dave Young: Porsche. I’m assuming this is the car. Stephen Semple: The car, yes, the car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: The car. Dave Young: And I’m trying to… I know some Porsche jokes, but I probably shouldn’t tell those on this show. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever actually been in a Porsche. Stephen Semple: Oh, well then you’ve got to come up and see me, Dave. Dave Young: You own one. I know you own one. Stephen Semple: Well, I have one. Bernier’s got two. I don’t know how many Steve has. Dave Young: I see how it is. I see how it is. Maybe I will tell my Porsche joke. So you guys that own them, do you call it Porscha? Because some of us just say Porsche. Stephen Semple: Well, if you actually take a look back, that’s the proper German pronunciation as Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s supposed to not be… It’s not Italian Porsche, right? So it’s Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, Porsche. Okay, I’ll accept that. I’ll accept that. I’m guessing we’re- Stephen Semple: Well, look, you got to always call a dealership to double check. They’ll tell you. Dave Young: Now, if I had to guess where we’re headed to start this off sometime around the 40s, maybe earlier. Stephen Semple: A little earlier than that, actually. It was founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany. You’re not far off. But the interesting thing is where the growth really happened, even though that’s when it was founded, when things really started to happen, was actually post-World War II. Dave Young: That makes sense. Stephen Semple: You’re correct on that. Dave Young: So, it started in 31 and by the time you hit the late 30s and 40s, you’re part of the war machine. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was founded in 1931, Stuttgart, Germany by Ferdinand. And when we take a look at the history of the business for a very long time, they were a part of the VW group, although they were recently spun off into their own separate business. And there’s a lot of shared history between VW and Porsche. A lot of people make fun of the fact that it’s basically a VW. There’s so much connection. Now here’s the other thing is, there’s a lot of connection in Nazi Germany here as well. And I mean- Dave Young: That’s what I was intimating but trying not to say, but yes, there was definitely. Stephen Semple: And not one of these ones of, “Oh, I’m a business and I got sucked up into the machine.” I mean, very early on. Very early on. Ferdinand was a member of the SS following the war, both he and his son were charged. Dave Young: No kidding. Stephen Semple: He served two years in jail. His son six months. So we’re not talking loose connections here. He was a buddy of Adolf. Let’s just put it out there. And if you remember, going back to episode 21, VW was founded by Nazi Germany. So episode 21 about The Beetle, and Ferdinand was the guy who designed the Beetle. Dave Young: Right, right. I remember you saying that, Ferdinand Porsche. Stephen Semple: And look, Porsche has not always had the success it has today. It’s become pretty big. They do 40 billion EU in sales. They have 40,000 employees. They make 300,000 cars. There was a time that they’re making cars in the hundreds and thousands. It wasn’t that long ago. But let’s go back to Germany to the early 1900s. And if we think about Germany at that time, pre-World War II, pre-World War I, there was lots of history of engineering and science in Germany. More Nobel Prizes in Science was awarded to Germany than anywhere else in the world at that time. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: Germany was a real leader in science and engineering. And the first commercial automobile was made in Germany by Mercedes-Benz. So it’s 1906 and Daimler recruits Ferdinand because Ferdinand had been the winner of the Pottingham [inaudible 00:06:05] Prize, which is the automotive engineer of the year, which is given to new chief engineers and basically allows the person to have this designated doctor engineer honoris causa, Ferdinand Porsche. And he would go around calling himself all of that. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And this is an honorary doctorate because he never actually finished college, but he had real engineering chops, Ferdinand. So he moves to Stuttgart, which at the time is a center of car making in Germany, including all the suppliers. And he works for Benz for 20 years. Okay. Now, it’s Germany in the 1930s and 2% of the population own a car in Germany as compared to the United States, which is 30%. Dave Young: In that time? Stephen Semple: In that time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Ferdinand comes up with this idea of we should make an inexpensive car. We shouldn’t be making car for the wealthy. We should make an inexpensive car. The board rejects the idea. Ferdinand leaves in 1929. And in 1931… Kicks around for a few years, and then 1931 starts a consulting firm. Now, this dude knew how to name things. You’re ready for the name of the company? Dave Young: Of the consulting firm? Stephen Semple: Of the consulting firm. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: I have to read this to get it right. The Doctor Engineer Honoris Causa Ferdinand Porsche Construction and Consulting and Design Services for Motor Vehicles. Dave Young: Now, if I know anything about German, that was all one word that you just said, right? Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: No spaces in between any of those words. Stephen Semple: Translated, you’ll see it as Dr. in H period, C period, F period, Porsche, capital G, small M, small B, capital H. Dave Young: It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Stephen Semple: Now, here’s the crazy thing. Up until 2009, that remained the official name of the company. You actually can find, if you see Porsche’s older than that, that if you look for that, it’ll be stamped somewhere in the car that that’s the manufacturer. Dave Young: They changed it finally because it was just too expensive to- Stephen Semple: It cost too much- Dave Young: Put that many letters in a dye cast. Stephen Semple: Exactly, exactly. Dave Young: Holy cow. Stephen Semple: So it’s 1934 and they land a contract with Germany to design a small affordable car for the people called the Volkswagen. Dave Young: Volkswagen. Stephen Semple: Beetle. Right, there you go. Now, here’s the thing that’s weird. Post World War II, the allies are in trying to rebuild Germany and no one owns VW. VW was owned by the state. So now it’s in the hands of the British and the British and the allies want to create a strong economy in West Germany because it’s now the Cold War. So the big defense to defending against East Germany and the expansion of communism is to really get the economy going in Germany. And so the British government, as we know from episode 21 about the Beetle, approached Porsche who designed it and said, “Help us get this car built.” And this is where it gets just a little bit weird because the son goes in one direction. Ferdinand’s doing his own thing. They both got arrested for war crimes. Son gets out first because he did six months. And his son’s name’s Ferry and his dad is in jail for two years. So between this time where dad’s still in jail and son’s out, here’s one of the things they did towards the end of the war. We don’t know exactly how many, but it was probably about 20 of their best engineers and they moved them out into the farmland of Austria and basically had them working in a barn because they didn’t want to get them arrested or killed, quite frankly. So Ferry gets out and he goes to this barn in Austria and he’s looking around and he goes, “What the heck are we going to do to make some money? Let’s start fixing up cars.” Now, not a huge business fixing up cars. It’s post-war and there weren’t a lot of cars in Germany anyway, but they had to do something. Then the dad gets out of jail and he ends up doing this work with Volkswagen. Now, here’s what’s interesting. And this is where the really tight ties between Porsche and Volkswagen start. The deal that the German government gives Ferdinand, the deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories to Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: The deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. We want your help designing and distributing this car. We will give you a royalty for every VW Beetle sold worldwide. Dave Young: Wow, that’s pretty generous. Stephen Semple: Well, no one knew it was going to be such a huge success and basically go for 50 years that car was being built. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: So for a long time, the biggest source of revenue for Porsche was royalties on VW Beetle sales. Dave Young: Wow, okay. So it really- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: It really wouldn’t exist if that deal hadn’t been made. Stephen Semple: May not have, may not have. Now, meanwhile, Ferry, who has design chops of his own and loves cars, started tinkering around with vehicles. And what he started to do was put big engines in small cars. There was all these Beetle parts lying around. He would build a car, this little car, and he’d put a big engine in it. And if you go back in the time, if you go back and take a look in the late 30s, early 40s, and you take a look at Ferraris and things like that, you take a look at the race cars at the time, they were two-thirds engines. They’re these massive engines. So he went the opposite direction. He said, “Well, let’s take a little car and put a big engine in it.” And he’s driving around and he goes, “This is fun.” Because he’s basing it on parts lying around, which is the VW stuff. It’s an engine in the back. This becomes the Porsche 356, which is basically Porsche’s first car. So they start making this car and they wanted to make it somewhat affordable. So the price was $3,750, which would be $42,000 today. And they also wanted to have it as being a daily driver because again, everybody else making performance cars were not daily drivers, had a trunk, bunch of things, daily driver. And this is an important part of Porsche’s DNA. We’re going to come back to this a little bit later, this idea of it being a daily driver. So coming out of World War II, sports cars, industry’s happening and everybody’s got one. MG and Jag in the UK, there’s Ferrari in Italy, you get the idea. Now, one thing I forgot to mention that’s interesting and still today, the government state of Lower Saxony, which is basically would be the state, they still own 20% of Volkswagen. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: I forgot to mention that. Dave Young: Who are they now? Stephen Semple: Well, Volkswagen’s still around. Volkswagen’s still- Dave Young: No, who is the Saxony? Stephen Semple: Well, it’d be like saying the state of Texas. It’s a state. Dave Young: Okay, it’s just a part of Germany. Stephen Semple: Part of Germany and that government still owns 20% of the company. Dave Young: What a world. Stephen Semple: Now there’s all this stimulus going on in Germany to try to get the economy going. One of the things that they did, there was a really interesting tax rate. There was an interesting tax structure. There was a very high marginal tax rate. Now, ordinary people were taxed at 15%, but the marginal tax rate could go as high as 95%. And the reason why they wanted to do this was create this incentive for reinvestment. So there’s all this… As they’re making money, there’s this heavy reinvestment. And in the early 50s, racing is really exploding. Automobile racing is really exploding, but the lines between professional and amateur is blurry. If you remember, James Dean and Steve McQueen and other actors, Paul Newman, were all racing. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: They’re all racing vehicles. And Jaguar and Porsche were trying to do the same thing in terms of creating this daily driver that you could race. Now in the end, Porsche won, and I think part of it is because quite frankly, they just built a better vehicle. There was a time where the joke with Jaguars was you had to own two because one would always be in the shop and one… And going back to the early DNA, Ferry Porsche was quoted as saying, “We have the only car that can go from an East African safari to race in the Le Mans to take out to theater and then drive on the streets in New York.” Dave Young: Wow, okay. Stephen Semple: And look, today, Porsche still heavily advertises that. They will advertise a Porsche driving through the snow with ski racks on it. And not their SUVs, the 911. This is very much part of it. And if you think about it, this parallels what Rolex did in the early days. You remember from episode 184 with Rolex. Rolex, the Submariner, the Explorer. Dave Young: Target by niche. Stephen Semple: Target by niche and make it tough and something that you could use and wear day to day. So it’s 1954 and Porsche’s selling 588 cars and about 40% of them is in the US. So really what’s making things hum with them is all those Beetle sales. And it’s the ’60s, the Ford Mustang comes out, the Jag E type comes out, the Austin-Healey comes out, and Porsche decides they need a new vehicle. And they were going to do a sedan, a four door sedan. But what they realized was they didn’t really want to compete with Mercedes and BMW. So they looked around at the other German car manufacturers and they said, “You know what? That’s probably not the place to go.” They had designed it up and that project failed. They had also been working on a six cylinder Boxter engine. So Boxter engine, the cylinders are opposed, so they’re like boxing. And the whole idea is that lowers the center of gravity of the weight of the engine. And they had a project that they were working on that that didn’t go ahead. So they stepped back and they went, “Maybe what we should do is just reduce the size of the sedan and put that engine in it.” That’s what they did. And that became the Porsche 901. Except there’s a problem. Peugeot had the copyright for zero in the middle of a bunch of numbers in France. They couldn’t call it the 901 because of that copyright. Dave Young: So they called it- Stephen Semple: So they called it the 911. And that’s now the iconic Porsche car. 1966, they sell 13,000 of these cars. Now, here’s the thing that I think is very interesting. And Porsche, as far as I could figure out, is the only car manufacturer that does this. First of all, they’ve maintained the 911 forever, but even on top of that, Porsche really understands design language. We can all recognize a Porsche. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: We can recognize one from 2020. We can recognize one from 1999. We can recognize one from 1970. Even though they’ve upgraded the technology, they’ve changed the design of the car. They’ve now come out with the Cayman and the Macan and the Cayenne. They’re all recognizable as that vehicle. They’ve done a great job of doing that. I think that was a lost opportunity, frankly, when Tesla came out because they had a clean design slate. Tesla could have done that. But I think that’s really interesting how they’ve managed to maintain, even though they’ll modernize it. In our minds, we still will see one and go, “That’s a Porsche.” Dave Young: Sure. And the great car brands are able to do that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Audi is always going to be an Audi. Volvo is always going to look like a Volvo. And in the Portals class at Wizard Academy, one of the videos that I use to demonstrate that, there’s a language. If you combine specific shapes and specific lines, that all adds up to that brand of car. And so I’ve got an old video that I got when I was in the Motor Press Guild from Audi. It was just a video that was made for journalists with an Audi designer explaining all the lines on the car when they came out with the Q7 and how it still maintained the Audi design language. It was fascinating. Stephen Semple: It is. Dave Young: So Porsche could tell you that and the cool thing is those designers can tell you that. It’s hard for you and I to go, “Well, I can look at it and say, “That’s a Porsche.” But to be able to put it into words that describe it to someone else, is a gift. Stephen Semple: What’s really interesting, my nephew, Jeffrey, he loves Audi’s. That’s what he has. And he’ll even make the comment, he doesn’t like the Porsche’s because you feel like you’re in a bubble. Audis are very square. If you look at the back of an Audi and you look at the rear end of a Porsche, it has hips. But again, he’s even, “They’re great cars, but I like the squareness of the Audi.” So that’s interesting. Dave Young: Audi Audi has a fairly, not perpendicular, but an upright grill more so than a … And that’s part of their design language. Stephen Semple: So the whole DNA of Porsche came from this whole idea of a small car. Dave Young: Big engine. Stephen Semple: Big engine, daily driver, that was the whole idea is, it’s supposed to be a car that you can drive every day. That’s the core, core, core, core principle. That’s why they always have decent sized trunks. I remember when Gary bought his Boxter, one of the things he loved about it is you can actually put two sets of golf clubs in that car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Right? Now, here’s what’s fun. There was a time where when they were really wanting to get things going, they did some great print advertisements. So they had ads like bug killer. Another one was calling it transportation is like calling sex reproduction. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, two of my favorites, one was not perfect. It would list 20 or 30 races that Porsche won. And if you actually read it, there was two that it didn’t. Dave Young: That they didn’t, “We didn’t win all the races.” Stephen Semple: So not perfect. Dave Young: That could have been driver error. Stephen Semple: That could have been. But Dave, you were going to make some jokes. Porsche’s able to laugh at itself. It actually had an ad that said, “Small penis? Have I got a car for you? If you’re going to overcompensate, then by all means, overcompensate.” Dave Young: I love it, I love it. Well, and that’s always the thing, the jokes are not about the car. Stephen Semple: But they actually ran that ad and I believe it ran in Car and Driver Magazine. I cannot imagine getting that ad approved. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: And look, their own drivers are like, “Yeah, whatever.” Dave Young: Sure, compensating all I want. Absolutely. I love that story. Well, thank you, Stephen. I love the story of Porsche. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And get out there and enjoy it or just buy me one and send it here. Thank you.

DOWNSIZING: ¿Cómo nos vendieron MOTORES PEORES?

Nos vendieron el "Downsizing" como la panacea de la automoción: motores pequeños, ligeros, turboalimentados y supuestamente ecológicos. Bloques de 1.0 litro y 3 cilindros entregando potencias de más de 100 CV. Parecía el triunfo de la ingeniería, pero con la perspectiva del tiempo, la realidad es mucho más cruda: sencillamente, nos han vendido motores peores. No es nostalgia por los viejos motores de gran cilindrada, es pura física y termodinámica. La verdad del "downsizing" nunca fue una verdad de ingeniería, sino una verdad de laboratorio diseñada para cumplir con normativas burocráticas. El Origen del Problema: El Ciclo NEDC Para entender por qué muchos motores modernos son problemáticos, hay que mirar al antiguo ciclo de homologación NEDC. Una prueba de laboratorio irreal, con aceleraciones lentas y sin carga. Los fabricantes diseñaron motores para ser eficientes solo en esas condiciones específicas. Crearon motores minúsculos que, sin exigirles potencia, apenas gastaban. Pero ¿quién conduce así en la vida real? Laboratorio vs. Realidad: El consumo fantasma Cuando sacas ese motor 1.0 Turbo a la carretera y le exiges potencia para un adelantamiento o un puerto de montaña, la eficiencia desaparece. El turbo sopla al máximo y la temperatura se dispara. Para evitar la autodetonación ("picado de biela"), la centralita utiliza el "enriquecimiento de protección": inyecta gasolina extra no para mover el coche, sino para refrigerar la cámara de combustión. Estamos usando gasolina como refrigerante. En la práctica, un motor pequeño forzado consume más que un motor 2.0 atmosférico que trabaja relajado a la mitad de su capacidad. La Pesadilla de la Fiabilidad: Motores de "usar y tirar" Sacar 130 CV de un litro de cilindrada somete a los materiales a un estrés propio de la competición, pero usando componentes de utilitario. Esto ha traído tecnologías que han destrozado la fiabilidad a largo plazo: Inyección Directa (GDI) y Carbonilla: Al inyectar directamente en la cámara, la gasolina ya no limpia las válvulas de admisión. Resultado: acumulación de carbonilla, pérdida de potencia y averías costosas a partir de los 80.000 km. Filtros de Partículas (GPF): Al funcionar con mezclas ricas, estos motores generan partículas finas, obligando a instalar filtros complejos que se obstruyen. La Correa Húmeda: El mayor error de la era "downsizing". Para reducir la fricción, sumergieron la correa de distribución en aceite. El aceite degrada la goma, la correa se desintegra y los restos obstruyen la bomba de aceite, gripando el motor. Un fallo de diseño catastrófico presente en motores superventas. La Lista de la Vergüenza Existen motores que ilustran este fracaso: -Stellantis 1.2 PureTech: Famoso por los problemas de su correa húmeda y alto consumo de aceite. -Ford 1.0 EcoBoost: Pionero del downsizing, pero con historiales de problemas en refrigeración y distribución en sus primeras generaciones. -VW 1.4 TSI Twincharger: Un exceso de complejidad (turbo + compresor) que resultó ser una pesadilla mecánica. -Fiat 0.9 TwinAir: Un bicilíndrico que vibraba en exceso y cuyo consumo real doblaba al homologado. El Regreso a la Cordura La industria, en silencio, nos está dando la razón. Con la llegada del ciclo WLTP (más realista), el truco de los motores minúsculos ya no funciona. Estamos viendo un proceso de "Upsizing": Volkswagen ha pasado del 1.4 al 1.5 TSI, y Stellantis está sustituyendo la correa húmeda por cadena. Mención aparte merece Mazda, que se negó a entrar en este juego. Apostaron por el "Upsizing" (motores 2.0 atmosféricos de alta compresión), demostrando que se puede ser eficiente sin sacrificar la fiabilidad ni recurrir a trucos de laboratorio. El "downsizing" no fue progreso real; fue un parche regulatorio que sacrificó la vida útil de tu coche. Antes de comprar, infórmate bien: la buena ingeniería no necesita esconderse detrás de cifras de homologación imposibles.

rWotD Episode 3147: The Story of a Flemish Farm Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 15 December 2025, is The Story of a Flemish Farm.The Story of a Flemish Farm is an orchestral suite by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, based on the score for the 1943 film The Flemish Farm - a wartime drama set in occupied Europe, and written when Vaughan Williams was 70.The score comprises seven movements, which follow the flow of the story:The Flag Flutters In The Wind.Night By The Sea, Farewell To The Flag.Dawn In The Old Barn, The Parting Of The Lovers.In The Café.The Major Goes To Face His Fate.The Dead Man's Kit.The Wanderings Of The Flag.The music takes themes from a number of folk tunes, along with references to A Sea Symphony of 1909 and his 6th Symphony, which followed in 1947.Vaughan Williams conducted the suite himself at a Promenade concert in July 1945, though he remarked that to call anything a suite was 'to damn it to extinction'. Christopher Thomas, writing in a record review, commented: "The bold strength of the melodic writing is highly idiomatic and reflects VW at the height of his creative powers shortly before the works that were to form the symphonic "Indian Summer" of his later years."The film score was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Muir Mathieson and the suite has also been recorded by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra under Andrew Penny, and by the BBC Philharmonic under Rumon Gamba.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:02 UTC on Monday, 15 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see The Story of a Flemish Farm on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

In der dritten und letzten Podcast-Folge mit Michael Jost, dem ehemaligen Chefstrategen des Volkswagen-Konzerns und Gründer von eD-TEC, ging es um die Zukunft der Mobilität – auf der Straße und auf dem Wasser. Wir sprachen darüber, wie sich Besitz, Nutzung und Emotion im Wandel der Branche neu sortieren und warum Markenidentität dabei weiterhin eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Michael betonte, dass das Auto auch in Zukunft mehr bleiben wird als ein reines Fortbewegungsmittel. „Autos sind Antworten auf die Sehnsüchte der Menschen – sie stehen für Identität und Emotion, nicht nur für Funktionalität.“ Der Wandel hin zu flexiblen Nutzungsmodellen wie Pay-per-Use oder Abo-Tarifen sei zwar unausweichlich, doch dürfe dabei die emotionale Bindung zur Marke nicht verloren gehen. Die Zukunft liege für ihn in intelligenten Kombinationen aus Eigentum und Nutzung – mit modularen, tarifbasierten Angeboten, ähnlich wie wir sie bereits vom Smartphone kennen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt war die Rolle der Software. Hier zeigte sich Jost realistisch, aber optimistisch: Die europäische Autoindustrie habe Nachholbedarf, müsse aber ihre Architekturen konsolidieren, um langfristig wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. „Software ist einfach gesagt und schwer gemacht“, fasste er treffend zusammen. Der Weg hin zu einheitlichen, skalierbaren Systemen sei zwar schmerzhaft, aber notwendig, um die Digitalisierung des Autos wirklich zu meistern. Besonders spannend war Michaels Blick auf den nächsten Transformationsschritt – weg von der Straße, hin aufs Wasser. Mit eD-TEC arbeitet er an der Elektrifizierung des maritimen Bereichs. Sein Ziel: „Electrify the ocean.“ Gemeinsam mit einem internationalen Team hat er ein eigenes Antriebssystem für Hochleistungsboote entwickelt, das durch Effizienz und technologische Raffinesse überzeugt. Der eigens patentierte „Surface Piercing Drive“ ermöglicht hohe Geschwindigkeiten bei vergleichsweise geringem Energieverbrauch. Das erste Boot, ein rund acht Meter langes Performance-RIB mit zwei 200-kW-Motoren, soll bei 30 Knoten lediglich 100 kW Leistung benötigen – genug, um mit einer 100-kWh-Batterie rund eine Stunde vollelektrisch zu fahren. Doch eD-TEC steht für mehr als Technik. Michael verbindet seine maritime Vision mit einem ganzheitlichen Ansatz. In Kroatien entsteht aktuell die erste grid-free Villa – energieautark durch Solaranlage und Batteriespeicher. „Wenn ich ein Haus CO₂-neutral betreiben kann, warum sollte das auf dem Wasser nicht auch funktionieren?“ fragte er rhetorisch. Sein Ziel ist es, eine kleine, aber inspirierende Bewegung anzustoßen, die zeigt, dass nachhaltige Mobilität auch im Luxussegment funktionieren kann. Dabei sieht er die Parallelen zwischen Auto- und Bootsbranche klar: Während Autos in Zyklen von wenigen Jahren gewechselt werden, behalten viele ihr Boot jahrzehntelang. Transformation brauche hier also mehr Geduld – und Pioniergeist. Jost positioniert sich mit eD-TEC bewusst in einer Nische oberhalb von Porsche, um Innovation und Exklusivität zu vereinen. „Wir wollen kein Bootsbauer sein, sondern ein Technologielieferant für die maritime Industrie,“ erklärt er. Am Ende unseres Gesprächs spürte man, dass Michael Jost nicht nur Visionär, sondern auch Realist ist. Seine Projekte zeigen, wie tiefgreifend Mobilität gedacht werden kann – jenseits von Antrieben, hin zu Erlebnissen und Systemen, die Energie, Technik und Emotion verbinden. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – tauchen wir ein in die dritte und letzte Folge mit Michael Jost, in der es um nichts Geringeres geht als die Zukunft der Mobilität auf Straße und Meer.

What if the Volkswagen you built as a teenager never really left you? In this episode, we get into the incredible full-circle story of David Lawler and his 1971 Volkswagen Beetle from Southeast England. David bought his very first VW at just 14 years old, poured years into building it, and saw that dream rewarded when the car landed in a Volkswagen magazine in 1995. But life changes. Priorities shift. The unthinkable happens—and the car is sold. Watching your first show-winning Volkswagen drive away is a regret that never fully fades. For decades, the Beetle would resurface in David's life, always just out of reach. Nearly 30 years later, he finally gets the chance to buy it back—only to discover it's far worse than he imagined. Rather than restore what was lost, David makes a bold decision: start over and build something entirely new. The result is a radically re-imagined 1971 VW Beetle—a modern, hot-rod-inspired machine that stands completely apart from anything else in the Volkswagen world. From extensive paint and bodywork, to chop-top modifications, a full roof conversion, and a cartoon-style window treatment, this build rewrites the rulebook. The hot-rod-meets-custom interior seals the deal as a true one-off. That risk paid off in a big way. The car was selected Top Five at the VolksWorld Show and went on to land the cover of the November 2025 Volkswagen magazine. This episode covers the emotional journey, the design decisions, the fabrication challenges, and what it means to let go of the past—only to build something even better. If you love custom Volkswagen Beetles, VW show cars, chop-top VWs, and real stories from the global air-cooled scene, this one is a must-listen.   www.letstalkdubs.com www.vwtrendsmagazine.com www.rosswulf.com use code LTD10 for 10% off of your order www.ssaircooled.com ICON pistons here

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1217: Ionna ramps up charging despite slumping EV demand, VW rethinks its electric strategy with range extenders, and a Waymo ride turns into a delivery room as a newborn arrives before first responders.Show Notes with links:Ionna—the eight-automaker EV charging company—keeps speeding up its nationwide charging ambitions even as EV demand cools. With reliability still a major pain point for buyers, the group is betting big that better infrastructure will unlock future EV sales and stabilize the retail market.The JV plans 30,000 charging bays by 2030, aiming to rival Tesla's Supercharger network in quality and convenience.49 stations are already open, with 1,200 bays open or under construction and 4,000 sites under contract.Tesla still dominates fast charging and is projected to grow to 69,000 plugs by 2030, but analysts expect Ionna to secure the No. 2 spot.Automakers view the investment as essential, especially as federal incentives shrink and consumer hesitancy grows around public charging reliability.“If we're successful, we think this will unlock the market in terms of folks wanting to buy an EV, because now they have a network that goes with it,” said CEO Seth Cutler.After early promises with the ID.4, demand for VW EVs has softened, models are being pulled, and prices are heading in the wrong direction. Now VW is eyeing gas-assisted EVs as a potential lifeline.The ID.7 has been scrapped for North America, and the ID. Buzz has underperformed, pushing some models from big markups to nearly $20,000 discounts.VW says consumer demand will dictate where and when range-extended models appear, noting the concept is already reserved for future platforms.As Ford CEO Jim Farley put it, range extenders deliver EV driving “without range anxiety… and comparable to an ICE vehicle in terms of cost.”A routine autonomous ride turned into a delivery room when a pregnant passenger in San Francisco gave birth in the back of a Waymo. The car still made it to the hospital — just a little more “occupied” than when it started.Waymo detected “unusual activity” and called to check in, then alerted 911 once it realized a birth was underway.The vehicle reached UCSF Hospital before first responders could catch up, marking at least the second baby ever born in a Waymo.“We're proud to be a trusted ride for moments big and small… serving riders from just seconds old to many years young,” Waymo said.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

The East Coast of Canada is cold, and the car season is short — usually May through October. New Brunswick isn't known as a hotbed for the air-cooled Volkswagen scene, but when the VW bug bites you out there, you're all in. Terry grew up in a drag-racing family, and everything changed the day his father gifted him a convertible Karmann Ghia. That single car sparked a lifelong obsession with all things air-cooled VW. From flat-towing a '67 Beetle over 2,000 miles from Alabama, to drag-racing a Herbie-themed bug, to eventually owning the legendary Save-A-Bugcampaigned by Jack Shacettie — Terry's passion has taken him across the continent. His vacations? They weren't for relaxing — they were spent in Southern California, wrenching in work clothes at Jack's shop just to be part of the action. Now retired from a career in insurance, Terry finally opened a small but official shop in New Brunswick. Not for business — but to help keep his cars and his friends' cars on the road. Terry's collection tells the story of a life dedicated to Volkswagens: "Cinco," his all-original 1955 Beetle, bought with just 25,000 miles. A 1955 Kombi running an SO-42 interior setup. And his driver — a 1950 split window, restored by Dr. Dick Christiansen, which he puts real miles on. So many cars, so many stories, and a lifetime of air-cooled passion from one of Canada's most dedicated VW enthusiasts.

Invitée: Guido Palazzo. De grandes entreprises basculent parfois dans lʹillégalité. On se souvient du scandale VW et de ses moteurs diesel trafiqués pour paraître moins polluants quʹils ne lʹétaient. Un exemple parmi dʹautres. Comment expliquer que des employés ou des patrons a priori raisonnables basculent dans lʹillégalité? Quels sont les mécanismes qui peuvent expliquer ces dérives éthiques? Est-il possible de les prévenir? Tribu reçoit Guido Palazzo, professeur en éthique des affaires à la Faculté HEC de lʹUniversité de Lausanne. Il a coécrit avec son collègue Ulrich Hoffrage un livre sur les scandales dʹentreprises, "The Dark Pattern. The Hidden Dynamics of Corporate Scandals", paru aux éditions Basic Venture.

Diese Podcastfolge ist etwas ganz Besonderes – weil wir zu viert zusammensitzen. In einem ehemaligen Turmbunker in Hamburg, mitten an einer sechsspurigen Straße, haben wir uns getroffen, um über unser gemeinsames Projekt zu sprechen: Unser neues Buch "Nehmen wir das Leben wieder selbst in die Hand", das am 15. Dezember erscheint. Das Buch ist ein Gesprächsband – etwa 140 Seiten, zugänglich geschrieben, aber mit Tiefgang. Es dokumentiert die Gespräche zwischen einem VW-Arbeiter, einem Aktivisten und mir als Mobilitätsexpertin. Die zentrale Frage: Wie schaffen wir eine gerechte Transformation, die niemanden zurücklässt? Der Untertitel macht klar, worum es geht: "Eine Einladung zum Kampf für das gute Leben für alle." Wir müssen raus aus der automobilen fossilen Sackgasse. Aber wie machen wir das, ohne dass Zigtausende Menschen in die Arbeitslosigkeit geschickt werden? 1. Die Realität der Arbeitenden Thorsten macht gleich zu Beginn klar: Die Beschäftigten bei VW sind nicht das Problem. Sie haben jahrzehntelang gute Arbeit geleistet, Autos gebaut, die weltweit nachgefragt wurden. Doch jetzt stehen sie vor dem Scherbenhaufen einer verfehlten Unternehmensstrategie. Die Krise bei VW ist hausgemacht: Versäumnisse im Management Zu späte Reaktion auf die Elektromobilität Fokus auf Gewinnmaximierung statt nachhaltiger Planung Missachtung der Klimakrise Und jetzt? Jetzt sollen die Beschäftigten die Zeche zahlen – mit Werksschließungen, Entlassungen, Lohnverzicht. Thorsens klare Ansage: "Das ist ein gesellschaftliches Problem. Wir können nicht einfach akzeptieren, dass Betriebe geschlossen werden und Menschen in die Arbeitslosigkeit geschickt werden, die ihr Handwerk perfekt beherrschen." 2. Die falsche Alternative: E-Auto statt Verbrenner Ein zentraler Punkt, den Thorsten immer wieder betont: Das Elektroauto ist klimapolitisch nur ein bisschen weniger absurd als der Verbrenner. Warum? Seltene Erden werden unter katastrophalen Bedingungen abgebaut Riesige Landschaften werden für den Rohstoffabbau zerstört Chemikalien werden eingesetzt, um diese Rohstoffe zu gewinnen Die ökologische Bilanz ist bei weitem nicht so gut, wie oft behauptet wird Thorsens Kritik: "Den Menschen, die Schlosser gelernt haben und wirklich was auf dem Kasten haben, zu sagen, dass E-Autos das Ende der Musik sind und wir nichts Besseres produzieren können – das kratzt an meinem Berufsethos." 3. Was könnten wir stattdessen produzieren? Hier wird das Gespräch richtig spannend. Denn die Frage ist nicht: "Können wir etwas anderes bauen?", sondern: "Was hindert uns daran?" Beispiel aus der Corona-Zeit: VW-Beschäftigte haben in kürzester Zeit aus Scheibenwischer-Motoren Beatmungsgeräte gebaut. Das zeigt: Das Wissen und die Fähigkeiten sind da. Sie werden nur nicht abgerufen. Mögliche Alternativen: Schienenfahrzeuge (Züge, Straßenbahnen, S-Bahnen) Lastenräder und Cargo-Bikes Komponenten für den öffentlichen Nahverkehr Technologie für erneuerbare Energien Medizintechnik Es ist eine Machtfrage. Wer entscheidet, was produziert wird? Aktuell sind es Konzernvorstände und Aktionäre – nicht die Beschäftigten, nicht die Gesellschaft. 4. Arbeitszeitverkürzung statt Entlassungen Wenn wir weniger produzieren müssen (was klimapolitisch sinnvoll wäre), dann verteilen wir die Arbeit auf meh

He's won awards on huge brands such as McDonald's, VW, Marmite and Harvey Nichols. People often talk about Pete as ‘one of the nicest guys in the business'. Which we can vouch for. Fun Pete fact: he was once a Media Planner on P&G.We started as usual with the billboard at the end of Pete's street, which is from the recent British Airways campaign. So yes, you guessed it, we had yet more ‘logo v no logo' chat. Then we jumped into another topical debate, the potential demise of the DDB name.And all this before the work, of which Pete has loads. We distilled it down to four clients in the end:VW, Marmite, Magners, and McDonald's.For VW we got behind the story of the classy and minimalist Touareg campaign shot by Giles Revell.Magners was an exercise in collaboration with Illustrator/Artist: Noma Bar, who seems to be everywhere atm, but Pete was the first to use him in advertising.Marmite was the Christmas lights, a bit of love ‘n hate for the festive season. Most apt!While for McDonald's there were many campaigns which Pete worked on both as a creative and a creative director. We managed to cover McNuggets, Lights on McDelivery / Iconic Stacks (Creatives: Andrew Long & James Millers), See One, Want One / Search (Creatives: Phillip Meyler & Darren Keff)Thanks so much for coming on Pete.
