In markets including France, the 70 kW/40 kWh version is replaced by an entry model pairing an 80 kW "Gen 2 Evo" motor from the Twingo E-Tech with a 36.5 kWh cell-to-pack LFP battery for up to 305 km (190 miles), 6.6 kW AC and 80 kW DC charging, with Google's Gemini assistant arriving over the air and the range shown at the Paris Motor Show from 12 to 18 October 2026.CHINESE AUTOMAKERS PLAN 1.5 MILLION EUROPEAN OUTPUT BY 2035Mobility Global forecasts Chinese brands will build about 90,000 vehicles in Europe this year, rising to 1 million by 2030 and 1.5 million by 2035, with roughly half of the 2030 output coming from Spain as BYD starts Hungarian production this autumn, Chery assembles Jaecoo and Omoda in Barcelona, Leapmotor uses Stellantis' Zaragoza plant, MG plans a Galicia plant for 2028 and Geely forms a Ford joint venture in Valencia (66% Ford, 34% Geely) operating from the first half of 2027. The push comes ahead of the EU's proposed Industrial Accelerator Act, which would attach "Made in EU" tests to public procurement, state support and CO₂ super-credits rather than impose a general local-content rule, while economists warn Europe risks becoming a final-assembly site without winning higher-value manufacturing and supply-chain jobs.FIAT 500E LEADS OWNERSHIP COST STUDYSelf, Inc. compared annual running costs for 50 new cars, excluding purchase price, finance and depreciation and assuming 15,000 miles a year, finding an average of $6,913 and placing the Fiat 500e first at $3,557, ahead of the Honda Civic Hybrid at $4,833. Hybrids averaged $5,734 a year against $6,189 for battery-electric and $7,025 for combustion cars, with the Dodge Charger Daytona the second-cheapest EV at $5,298 and the Lucid Air the priciest at $10,049, though the 500e's win has not translated into demand as Stellantis reported just 150 US sales in the first half of 2026, down 81% year on year.ICAUR V25 CONFIRMED FOR AUSTRALIA IN EARLY 2027Chery has confirmed the iCaur V25 will launch in Australia in early 2027 alongside the brand's arrival, with the larger V27 also expected in the initial line-up, and the 4636mm-long five-seater offering a 2820mm wheelbase, 197mm of ground clearance, a 200kg roof-load rating, fixed aluminium side steps, removable D-pillar panels and a side-hinged rear door with a 22.7-litre external storage box. It uses a range-extender drivetrain with a Chery 1.5-litre petrol engine and a 33.67kWh LFP battery giving up to 150km (93.2 miles) of electric range on WLTC, and rides on a unibody with MacPherson struts and rear five-link suspension rather than a ladder frame.KEMPOWER LINKS PLUG COUNT TO CHARGER USEKempower's analysis of North American public charging sites on its ChargEye software found plug count correlated with utilisation at 0.63 versus just 0.228 for total installed power, that distributed-charging sites averaged 83% higher utilisation than fixed-power dispensers, and that about 100 kW of available power per plug is the sweet spot when all connectors are in use. The paper does not disclose sample size, observation period, how utilisation was calculated or whether it controlled for location, traffic, age, pricing or reliability, it shows correlation rather than causation, it promotes an architecture Kempower already sells as its MORE Plugs system, and its 100 kW benchmark falls short of the NEVI rule requiring each port on an Alternative Fuel Corridor to deliver up to 150 kW simultaneously.US EV RENTERS FACE CHARGING COST PENALTYUS EV drivers in rented or multifamily homes can pay up to six times more to charge than those on standard residential electricity, a "renter's penalty" worsened because utility assistance programmes typically tie benefits to a household meter. A playbook from GRID Alternatives and the Smart Electric Power Alliance proposes driver-focused measures such as account-linked discounts or prepaid charging cards for income-qualified owners, combined with location-focused steps like reduced-price charging at utility-owned public stations and multifamily sites in priority communities.BYD ADDS CANADA 'COMING SOON' PAGEBYD has put a "Coming Soon" message on its Canadian website and listed eleven management vacancies, eight of them posted by BYD North America and based in Toronto or the wider Greater Toronto Area, covering head of sales, marketing, network development, infrastructure business development, operations planning, legal counsel and HR, with one sales role tasked with leading market entry, nationwide sales and a dealer network for passenger vehicles. No models, prices, dealers, ordering function or launch date have been published, and while Canada reopened to Chinese-made EVs on 1 March 2026 by replacing the 100% surtax with a 49,000-vehicle annual quota at a 6.1% tariff, shipment-specific permits and Transport Canada compliance still apply.GERMAN SUPPLIERS LOOK BEYOND CARS AS ELECTRIC VEHICLES RESHAPE INDUSTRYElectrification is redrawing the network of parts, skills and factories behind the car, illustrated by Nuremberg-area family firm Sembach, whose output of small automotive parts has fallen from about 600 million to 400 million a year and which set a 2023 target of cutting automotive revenue from 80 to 40 per cent by 2033. The VDA says around 100,000 German automotive jobs have gone since 2019 and another 125,000 could follow by 2035, with many replacement roles created abroad, while Bosch, on €91 billion of revenue last year, is pivoting to sensors, robotics, software-defined mobility and electrification even as it plans to cut more than 20,000 German automotive jobs by 2030.SOLENT ELECTRIC BOAT CHARGING NETWORK EXPANDSThe Electric Seaway, a £3.2m project backed by the Department for Transport's UK SHORE programme, has since 2023 built a chain of CCS DC fast-charging points along the south coast using 400V-class technology similar to car rapid chargers, though Aqua superPower COO Karen Gill says uptake has come mainly from commercial workboats rather than leisure yachts. Range remains the constraint for weekenders, with Grand Soleil's 33ft Blue claiming 30 nautical miles at 5 knots from its 6kW ePropulsion pod and 8kWh battery, or 60 with a second battery and a diesel option still offered, while Yamaha's 2024 acquisition of Torqeedo signals that the largest outboard manufacturer is taking electric marine propulsion seriously.

What happens when a dream is placed on hold—but never truly dies? On this episode of Between the Notes, Paisan Kapitan welcomes Edmond and Armond Stepanyan, better known as The Armenian Twins, for the remarkable story of their return to music after 25 years. Their journey began in 1994 with a small Yamaha keyboard, a cassette recorder and a dream. After Armenian record stores initially rejected their music, the twins and their father produced and distributed 1,000 copies themselves—and sold out within two days. Their groundbreaking work helped introduce rap to the Armenian music community. Edmond and Armond open up about their father's faith in them, stepping away from music to raise their families and why they finally decided to make their comeback. They also discuss blending Armenian culture with pop, rap and melody, connecting with listeners through meaningful lyrics and their emotional new song, “Du Es Im.” Also joining the show is professional Middle Eastern percussionist Gokor Simityan, whose musical journey began at just two years old with a pair of spoons and an empty water bottle. Gokor shares how he discovered the darbuka, developed his signature finger-split technique and turned a childhood passion into a career bringing energy and joy to weddings, concerts and cultural celebrations. Plus, don't miss Gokor's live in-studio performance and a hilarious rapid-fire bonus round featuring aliens, famous twins, casino disasters, Nutella—and one million-dollar offer the Armenian Twins immediately reject!

MotoGP's Chief Sporting Officer Carlos Ezpeleta and Guenther Steiner, the new CEO and Co-Owner of the Tech3 MotoGP team, join David Cushnan to discuss how the world's leading motorcycling series in entering its new era, following F1 owner Liberty Media's acquisition last year. Ezpeleta explains how the changes made so far, some more visible than others, are designed to supercharge the championship's popularity and revenues, and how the new US influence on the series is beginning to manifest itself. Speaking in London before last Sunday's British round of the championship, the 12th of 22 scheduled races this year, he and Steiner also reflect on the painstaking governance work, which resulted in a fresh commercial framework binding the teams - including manufacturers Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Aprilia and KTM - to the series and world motorcycling governing body the FIM until 2031, and how to build up the profile of the sport's superstars in markets beyond the current heartlands of Spain and Italy. And Steiner, who led the Haas F1 team from 2016 to 2024 and became the breakout star of Drive to Survive, explains why investors including IKON Capital and David Blitzer's Bolt Ventures paid $50 million to invest in the independent Tech3 MotoGP team, and how his experience of F1 is helping Ezpeleta chart a path forward under new ownership.----- The Leaders Week London agenda is here.

FOLLOW UP: VW RESULTS FOR H1 OF 2026 ARE BADThe headline figures for Volkswagen Group's first half of 2026 financial results make for grim reading. There is a 11.6% drop in profits, despite revenue almost matching 2025. China was a big disappointment, but should not have been a surprise. Company claims cost savings are working already and the plans, which we are yet to know the full details, will accelerate the benefits to the company. Click this Autocar article link here, for more.Part of the plans to reduce costs, that we have heard about, include shedding jobs. Anything between 100,000 and 140,000 has been rumoured, but they are only rumours to date. Additionally, a cull of their car line ups, plus reducing the model variants which will reduce the crossover, between brands, and complexity.

Son muchos los que opinan que, en el mundo del motor, vivimos atrapados en la era de la obsolescencia programada. Y quizás tengan algo de razón. Sin embargo, hubo un tiempo en el que los ingenieros diseñaban pensando verdaderamente en "la eternidad", utilizando metales de altísima calidad, diseños honestos, tolerancias adecuadas y mecánicas generosamente sobredimensionadas. Motocicletas que, con un cuidado mínimo, están preparadas para dar la vuelta al planeta varias veces y, literalmente, sobrevivirte a ti mismo. Hoy rendimos un merecido homenaje a la fiabilidad mecánica absoluta. Nos sumergimos en la historia y los entresijos de diez maravillas de la ingeniería concebidas para durar toda una vida, demostrando que cuando un fabricante decide crear algo verdaderamente indestructible, la termodinámica y la metalurgia siempre le dan la razón: 1978 - BMW Serie R "Airheads": El motor bóxer de 800 y 1000 cm³ refrigerado por aire es el gran sinónimo de la palabra "indestructible". Su bloque de aluminio parecía fundido para la industria naval, y su extrema simplicidad mecánica permitía hacer un reglaje de válvulas en apenas 20 minutos en plena ruta. 1986 - Honda VFR 750 F (RC24): Nacida del orgullo corporativo para arreglar el desastre de su predecesora. Honda utilizó un costosísimo sistema de cascada de engranajes —tecnología pura de Fórmula 1— para mover los árboles de levas, creando un motor V4 irrompible capaz de superar los 200.000 kilómetros sin inmutarse. 1987 - Kawasaki KLR 650: Si el mundo se acaba, solo sobrevivirán las cucarachas y esta moto. De concepción agrícola y tosca, pero absoluta y totalmente inmortal. Su fiabilidad es tan legendaria que el Cuerpo de Marines de EE. UU. encargó una versión militar adaptada para funcionar con el mismo combustible que sus tanques. 1990 - Honda XRV 750 Africa Twin: Heredera directa de las arenas del París-Dakar. Su secreto era un motor bicilíndrico en V muy poco apretado que garantizaba que sus piezas internas apenas sufrieran estrés mecánico, incluso girando a altas temperaturas bajo el asfixiante sol del desierto. 1992 - Yamaha SR 250: La indiscutible columna vertebral de la mensajería en España. Un monocilíndrico refrigerado por aire, sin radiadores que perforar, capaz de soportar cientos de kilómetros diarios en el caótico tráfico urbano arrancando y parando incesantemente. 1996 - Suzuki DR 650 SE: Suzuki perfeccionó el enfriamiento por aire y aceite con su sistema patentado SACS. Inyectaba aceite a alta presión directamente bajo el pistón para disipar el calor, logrando un motor ligero y térmicamente estable, ideal para adentrarse en zonas remotas sin miedo a romper complejos sistemas líquidos. 1997 - Honda CB 500 (Generación PC32): La mítica "reina de las autoescuelas". Una roca de granito cuyo nivel de sobreingeniería era tan alto que, tras desmontar su motor con 300.000 kilómetros de duro uso como mensajería, las piezas internas seguían estando en las tolerancias milimétricas de fábrica de una moto nueva. 1999 - Suzuki SV 650: Su motor bicilíndrico en V a 90 grados resultó estar perfectamente equilibrado de forma natural. Fue la moto estrella en las competiciones europeas de "Minitwins", rebotando siempre en la zona roja del cuentavueltas sin que jamás una sola biela decidiera asomar por el cárter. 2004 - Suzuki V-Strom 650: Usando el motor de la SV 650 alojado en el inmenso chasis de su hermana mayor de 1000 cm³, Suzuki creó una máquina donde todo el conjunto está absurdamente sobredimensionado para la potencia real que entrega. Superar los 200.000 kilómetros con ella es la norma habitual. 2014 - Yamaha MT-07 (Motor CP2): La prueba definitiva de que la ingeniería moderna también puede ser eterna. Yamaha aplicó soluciones magistrales, como el descentrado geométrico de los cilindros, reduciendo drásticamente la fricción interna. Un propulsor robusto y versátil que aúna la tecnología actual con una durabilidad extrema. La historia de estas diez motocicletas nos deja una valiosa lección: la longevidad no es producto de la magia. Es el resultado de ingenieros que decidieron priorizar el grosor de los materiales y la sencillez mecánica por encima de la complejidad y el ahorro de costes. Son la resistencia rodante contra la cultura de usar y tirar; máquinas honestas que te prometen que, si tú cuidas de ellas en el garaje, ellas cuidarán de ti en la carretera. Sin importar las décadas que pasen.

Today's episode is a rambling, heartfelt one. While scanning old photos before a weekend trip across the state, our host stumbles on a free Windows tool called "Everything" that instantly digs up every file — including photos — buried deep in your computer. Searching by file type (.jpg, .jpeg) surfaces treasures he'd forgotten existed, including a photo of a birthday cake he baked 18 years ago for his late brother Al's 61st birthday, chocolate with white frosting, delivered as a surprise drop-and-run. The story turns into a meditation on doing kind things when nobody expects them, and the grief and gratitude of finding that photo two years after his brother's passing.From there, the episode swerves into a nostalgic tale from 1970s Dunedin, Florida: a 15-year-old on a restricted license, a Yamaha motorcycle, a buddy named Greg, a skipped school day, and a ride up State Road 50 to dip a toe in the Daytona Beach surf — sunburn, suspension, and all. He's retracing that same route tomorrow, this time by car, in honor of that ride.Expect tech tips, tears, teenage rebellion, and a whole lot of heart.#PodcastLife #FamilyStories #TechTips #Nostalgia #FloridaRoots #GriefAndGratitude #OldSchoolMemories #StateRoad50 #RamblingPodcast #EverydayStories

What an amazing musical story. Mike was playing guitar at 14, building them at 19 and building them at a very high level shortly after. He went from Charvel to Yamaha to heading up the Fender Custom Shop building custom guitars for loads of heavy hitters. Somewhere in there he found time to start blues band The Blue Diamonds and then Lee Rocker's Big Blue with the Stray Cats' bass player, and then on to the Mike Elred Trio. After leaving Fender he decided to build his own brand of guitars, El Cabron, which are in high demand. Mike has been in the middle of countless epic stories over the years and we were fortunate to get a taste of that amazing life here. Give it a listen!
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 627 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Experimental backing tracks, Fender vs the entire planet, and robot rock starsBrian has been experimenting in his secret laboratory and reveals that AI-generated backing tracks are getting scarily good. The guys explore how far this technology has come and their conclusions may surprise you. This leads to a deep and heartfelt conversation about why playing music matters, why it can never truly be replaced by technology, and whether robot rock stars performing on stage could actually become a thing. There are also some sad farewells to Jennifer Finch of L7 and Wayne Charvel, who both passed away.Brian has been renovating his studio with LED-lit pedal shelves and proper sound panels, and he has some new Bigler pickups to try. Meanwhile, the Fender legal saga has somehow gotten even worse - they're now going after Thomann, Yamaha, and an Australian secondhand guitar retailer. The guys are genuinely baffled and discuss whether Fender have managed to pull off the most spectacular act of brand self-destruction in guitar history. Richard has a PRS-shaped solution.The Rolling Stones have a new album out and Richard highly recommends it, Anthrax have a cracking new single, and the World Cup halftime show featured Madonna flanked by two footballing legends dressed as Teletubbies. Richard reveals that an Iron Maiden guitarist was fired for listening to the Eagles on the tour bus, and the guys debate the merits of mystery pedal boxes.Headstock Socks, The Defenderiser, Eastern European Clown Music, Brad Womp, Breaking the Fourth Wind...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.bluesguitarmethod.comhttps://www.betterguitartone.comhttps://www.wamplerdiy.comhttps://www.guitarpedalcourse.comCheck out Oliver Effects:https://oliverfx.co.ukYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Support the show
Flipping Summer madness!!! Yeah it feels like this holiday has gone on for months already. We took in a bit of Cornwall and caught up with the UK family. Cornwall was a very wise choice as it has a microclimate that allowed a little escape from the insanity that London heatwave. You know what? I did a pretty good job of disappearing completely albeit without a full phone detox. I feel that might be needed soon. Someone threw out a stat that we only have 300 months of free time in our lives. Best not to spend all of that on the phone. Im such a sad addict at this point it's not funny. Anyhow that's beside the point. Back in the bubble of the music space, I made a little computer only setup in my space to see if I can't use it to focus on a different kind of making and perhaps even the FINISHING? Lets see. I go on about that a lot in the intro so I'll not linger on that now. Needless to say I wish you all fulfillment and success however that looks to you. This episode is with the excellent Nicholas Semrad. He's aheady had many a musical life. You may have seen him playing alongside Cory Henry, Lauryn Hill or Mark Guiliana. You may know him as a patch maker for Sequential or Yamaha. Perhaps you know him for his film and TV work. He's highly accomplished and a touring beast. Currently he's slathering on the make up on a 6 month Empire of the Sun gig. He's a total beast and yet a wonderfully humble and chill individual. Ive had micro hangs with him before on the road but never a long form one on one until now. So it's a treat to have the chance. Give it up for for Mr Semrad!!!

Den Fuß kurz auf asiatischen Boden stellen und dann zurück, also einmal Bosporus und retour – das war die Idee der diesjährigen XXL-Tour der MOTORRAD Reise-Redakteure Ferdinand Heinrich-Steige und Thorsten Dentges. In zwölfeinhalb Tagen waren sie 6100 Kilometer unterwegs, meist bei Temperaturen von über 35 Grad. Kein Marathon, aber doch eine kleine Challenge. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Podcasts: Die beiden stillen Protagonisten der Reise, Yamaha Tracer 7 und Yamaha Tracer 7 GT mit Y-AMT-Getriebe. In dieser Folge besprechen unsere Redakteure, wie sich das Mittelklasse-Crossover auf dieser Tour schlug - sei es auf der ersten Tages-Etappe Stuttgart-Zagreb (knapp über 800 Kilometer), auf bergigen Landstraßen im serbischen Hinterland oder im gewöhnungsbedürftigen Istanbuler Feierabendverkehr. Dabei fuhr täglich auch die Frage mit, was das richtige Maß für ein Tourenmotorrad ist und ob die vermeintlich kompromissbehaftete Mittelklasse-Maschine nicht vielleicht die perfekte Mitte trifft. Übrigens: Alles zur XXL-Tour lest ihr auch in der MOTORRAD-XXL-Ausgabe 17/2026, die am 31. Juli 2026 erscheint. Über die Podcast-Reihe Kurvendiskussion: Kurvendiskussion ist der Podcast der Zeitschrift MOTORRAD und erscheint alle 14 Tage neu. MOTORRAD-Redakteur und Podcaster Ferdinand Heinrich-Steige spricht mit Redakteurs- und Testkollegen sowie mit Gästen über aktuelle Modelle, Ausrüstung, Trends, Reisethemen und Motorradtechnik. In den Folgen, die meist zwischen 45 und 60 Minuten dauern, gibt es außerdem viele persönliche Eindrücke und die ein oder andere Anekdote aus dem Redaktionsalltag zu hören, die es im Heft nicht zu lesen gibt.

It’s not that long since we spoke to the great man on the pod! Back in July 1980, he was part of a 500cc Grand Prix-winning team in Belgium with a young Randy Mamola. It was Randy’s first premier-class victory and the first of many for JB. Graziano Rossi was in that same race. Years later, JB would become crew chief for his son, Valentino, who became one of the sport’s all-time greats, a rider synonymous with the number 46. Recorded in 2018, less than an hour from Adelaide (which will call the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix home in 2027), JB looks back over his stellar career, and the convo is a gem. The Australian Motorsport Hall of Famer talks about working with the legendary Mick Doohan and helping to develop the iconic Honda 500cc GP bike. Plus, there are recollections of a flashpoint in the rivalry between Valentino and Casey Stoner, as well as stories of his move with Rossi to Yamaha and the frustrations at Ducati.

Carlo, Paolo, Andrea, Matteo e con il contributo di Marco da Goodwood, ci raccontano una domenica piena di motori che manda in vacanza la MotoGP fino ai primi di agosto quando tornerà in pista a Silverstone.Intanto ecco come il Decano commenta il successo di Marc Marquez al Sachsenring:Sta emergendo dalle profondità della classifica di inizio campionato Marc Marquez, l'unico vero squalo della MotoGP. Da meno 102 si è portato a -18 da Jorge Martin, con solo Ai Ogura a -14 a separare i due.E' il giapponese la vera sorpresa della prima metà di campionato, visto che era dal 2002 - Tohru Ukawa - che un figlio del sol levante non occupava questa posizione. E ci immaginiamo che Yamaha, la casa per la quale correrà il prossimo anno, sia soddisfatta della scelta.E' all'orizzonte un cambio di gerarchie in questa MotoGP che attende ancora la rivoluzione di Liberty Media. Ogura, Raul Fernandez e ovviamente Pedro Acosta, quarto al Sachsenring, sono l'onda che si sposta in alto sotto la spinta del Grande Bianco che è ancora il re degli oceani…scusate, delle piste.LEGGETE IL SEGUITO QUI
Jason Weigandt reflects on Austin Forkner's career, one with amazing promise and plenty of wins, but also far too many big injuries. Forkner could be a front runner in the 450 class right now, but racing had other plans for him, and now he feels like dirt bikes were here to show him something else. They might have saved his life. Meanwhile, the team he rides for, 5.11 Triumph Racing, made staff changes recently by letting Team Manager "Scuba" Steve Westfall go. Where's the team headed? What about the other newcomers like Ducati and Beta? Where's the Husqvarna support going now that the factory team is shutting doors at the end of the year?

Nick Ienatsch has spent most of his life riding and racing motorcycles. He's an acknowledged expert in his field, having won club and national championships on everything from single-cylinder street bikes to exotic grand prix road racers. In the second of a two-part interview with “Driven to Ride” host Mark Long, the magazine editor turned instructor emphasizes continuing education. Following a long run with the Freddie Spencer High Performance Riding School, Ienatsch co-founded the Yamaha Champions Riding School, which offers a multi-tiered approach to “building confidence and maximizing fun.” Options run the gamut, from online courses to hands-on instruction. As Ienatsch says, “There's a path to doing this well forever.” Ienatsch doesn't pull punches when the discussion shifts to avoiding dangerous situations while piling up street miles. “I hate to preach,” he says, “but if you're riding with people who push, push, push, push everywhere they go—through traffic, lane-splitting—you will meet their family in the hospital, I promise you. So, be careful of that.” Sound advice, indeed.

Te has dado cuenta de que los coches actuales corren más que nunca, pero nos dicen menos que nunca? El sonido siempre ha sido el lenguaje de nuestros motores, su forma de hablarnos y de transmitirnos emociones; y sin embargo, hoy se han vuelto casi mudos. Ese rugido mecánico que antes nos ponía los pelos de punta ha sido ahogado por montañas de material aislante, taponado por normativas o, lo que es peor, sustituido por una mentira digital que sale por los altavoces del habitáculo. En este vídeo repasamos cómo la industria, las leyes y la física se han aliado para silenciar la música que más nos gusta: la de un buen motor de combustión. De la explosión libre al lenguaje del motor A principios del siglo XX, cuando los primeros coches empezaron a sustituir a los caballos, el estruendo era una consecuencia inevitable. Cada explosión en esos enormes cilindros salía casi libre a la atmósfera. Pero los conductores y mecánicos pronto descubrieron algo fascinante: el sonido era un cuadro de mandos acústico inigualable. Los conductores de marcas como Bugatti o Hispano-Suiza no miraban delicados cuentarrevoluciones; solo necesitaban afinar su oído. El motor les decía con total honestidad cuándo el avance del encendido estaba en su punto, cuándo la mezcla de combustible era pobre o si el bloque pedía a gritos una marcha superior. Con el paso de las décadas, marcas de lujo como Rolls-Royce entendieron que el ruido rudo era "sucio", pero el sonido refinado otorgaba prestigio. Comenzaron a diseñar silenciadores complejos, cajas de espejos acústicos donde las ondas se anulaban mediante interferencia destructiva. Buscaban un poder contundente, pero envuelto en el sonido de un susurro rítmico. La era dorada y la "castración" del turbo Los años dorados del sonido automovilístico llegaron en los 50 y 60 con la era de la aspiración natural. Coches míticos como el Ferrari 250 GTO o los Alfa Romeo con motor Bialbero sonaban a gloria porque no había nada que interrumpiera la conexión directa entre la explosión y nuestro tímpano. Marcas como Maserati llegaron a colaborar con músicos expertos en instrumentos de viento para afinar sus escapes, buscando que los armónicos del motor emularan acordes mayores perfectos. Sin embargo, a partir de los 70 y 80, apareció el primer "enemigo" acústico de esta melodía: el turbocompresor. Aunque a nivel prestacional es una maravilla de la técnica, un turbo es, por definición, una gran obstrucción en la salida del escape. Al aprovechar la energía de los gases, la turbina "pica" y aplana las ondas sonoras, resultando en un sonido muchísimo más sordo y con menos matices. A esta pérdida de pureza se sumaron normativas anticontaminación y de ruido cada vez más estrictas. Pasamos de permitir casi 90 decibelios en los años 50 a los límites actuales, lo que ha obligado a los fabricantes a llenar los tubos de escape con catalizadores, filtros de partículas y enormes silenciadores que actúan como dolorosos tapones musicales. La era del engaño: Altavoces y teatro mecánico Llegados al siglo XXI, con el downsizing (motores más pequeños) y las extremas medidas de insonorización, la industria se enfrentó a un dilema: desde dentro, el coche suena a máquina de coser. ¿La solución? El maquillaje sonoro digital. Marcas como BMW implementaron sistemas como el Active Sound Design, que lee las revoluciones del motor y reproduce una pista de audio por los altavoces del habitáculo, como si el coche estuviera haciendo playback. Otros optaron por vibradores enganchados al chasis o por tubos acústicos que filtran el ruido hacia el interior. Incluso los espectaculares petardeos de escape ("pops and bangs") que hoy escuchamos en muchos deportivos modernos ya no son el resultado natural de una mezcla de gasolina desajustada; están programados a propósito en la centralita electrónica, inyectando combustible extra solo para hacer "teatro mecánico". Aunque aún hay excepciones sublimes donde la ingeniería acústica se eleva a obra de arte —como el espectacular Lexus LFA y su V10 afinado por la división de instrumentos de Yamaha—, la tendencia general apunta hacia el silencio de la movilidad eléctrica y el diseño de sonido por ordenador. Pese a todo, nuestros oídos siempre sabrán distinguir la vibración real de un cigüeñal a 8.000 vueltas de un vulgar archivo de audio reproducido por altavoces.

You'll hear how an invasive species, the lionfish, became both a tourism driver and an annual event, and how the region has evolved into a family destination through free outdoor adventure programs for kids and teens. Jennifer and Alex also share the inside story of the creation of what will be the world's largest artificial reef, using the repurposed SS United States ocean liner, positioning the area as an international diving hotspot. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why Destin Fort Walton Beach has established a Coastal and Natural Resources team How a challenge with the invasive lionfish species became a key tourism driver for the region How the destination's free Little Adventures program engages kids and families with hands-on outdoor experiences How the team created and rapidly expanded a program offering free outdoor classes, resulting in 700 sessions and serving over 4,000 kids in a year Why the artificial reef project, featuring the SS United States ocean liner, will make the area an internationally recognized dive destination Collaborations and strategic partnerships that have fueled product development and positioned Destin Fort Walton Beach for year-round tourism Lessons Jennifer and Alex have learned about turning ecological challenges into memorable and marketable visitor experiences Expanding Beyond Traditional Tourism Marketing Historically recognized for its crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches, Destin Fort Walton Beach has long attracted vacationers seeking a quintessential Florida getaway. But as the tourism market grew more competitive, especially against all-inclusive options like cruise vacations, Jennifer Adams realized something had to change. This insight spurred the creation of a coastal and natural resources team, making their tourism office one of the few in the U.S. with in-house marine and forestry biologists, aimed at protecting and enhancing the very environment that draws visitors. Free Outdoor Classes Fueling Family Connection One of the standout programs redefining the visitor experience is the Little Adventures initiative. Recognizing statistics that highlight children's lack of outdoor engagement, Jennifer and her team built a brand promise: "get kids outside on the water to give their adventure side room to grow". Through this program, local experts, including fishing guides, dive instructors, and even astronomers, offer free hands-on classes to vacationing families. What began with 70 sessions in 2021 exploded to over 700 in a single season, reaching more than 4,000 kids. This investment brought significant returns for the community, circulating an estimated $4 million back into the local economy, while giving families a broader, authentic experience that's hard to replicate elsewhere. Partnership, Collaboration, and Global Reach Collaboration is foundational to every initiative. Regionally, Destin Fort Walton Beach works closely with seven other Florida Panhandle counties via the Northwest Florida Tourism Council, pooling resources for international marketing and product development. Partners like Yamaha and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute have also joined artificial reef efforts, while the "Ask a Scout" feature on the destination's website connects incoming families with local moms to provide real, trusted advice. "We all work collectively," Jennifer emphasizes, ensuring that local character, environmental strength, and visitor experiences remain connected. Resources: Website: https://www.destinfwb.com/
