This week, Derek and Jason discuss every generation of the Chevrolet Corvette while ogling beautiful sculpts made by Amalgam Collection. Derek explains that the C1 Corvette, in all of its various bodies, was perhaps better to look at than to drive, with a solid rear axle and (in early versions) a truckish straight-six engine. Jason hasn’t driven one, but feels like the Corvette recipe wasn’t fully baked until the C2 Corvette, which has perhaps the best-feeling manual-transmission shifter in history.The C3 has amazing door handles and voluptuous Ferrari-esque fenders; the C4 was 1980s angularly stunning, and introduced the ZR-1, the Corvette From Hell, with its 4-cam, Lotus-designed, Mercury Marine-built 32-valve V-8. The C5 resurrected the Z06 option code from the 1960s, and the C6 was genuinely great to drive at the limit. Especially in outrageous ZR1 form, which used a supercharged V8 whose scream was only matched by those of the passenger.It all came together with the C7, the first Corvette to be competitive on a world stage in all ways, including its interior. Still not a match for the more-expensive European stuff, it was a pleasure to drive in its distinctly American way: gruff, rough, heavy-handed and very, very fun.The C8’s departure goes way deeper than its switch to a mid-engine layout. All of its controls are light and delicate, and its dual-clutch automatic transmission so smooth and deliberate that it feels synthetic. Just like the sound of its small-block engine, which is now artificiially piped through the stereo speakers. Jason insists the Chevy Small Block is the best-sounding V-8 in the world and Derek doesn’t seem to disagree. But the C8’s understeer is enough to make him think twice before recommending it, even though we know forthcoming Corvette C8 hybrids will have torque-vectoring electric all-wheel-drive. And last but not least, the boys discuss model cars: is it better to have literal models that match the real-world thing, or artistic interpretations? One works better in a garage or man-cave, the other is perhaps more appropriate on a coffee table. At least in houses where a significant other’s non-automotive taste needs to be considered.This episode of The Carmudgeon Show was Supported by Amalgam Collection.

Show #652   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 25th November 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   VW'S FACTORY RACE TEAMS WILL EXCLUSIVELY DRIVE ELECTRIC CARS "Volkswagen may have a long way to go before its road-going cars are all-electric, but its racing division doesn't have to wait that long. The German brand has revealed that its motorsport group will drop "factory-backed commitments" to race cars with combustion engines -- it's either electric or nothing." reports engadget: "It's also comparatively easier for VW to pull out of gas-powered racing given its level of investment. VW's motorsport wing is best known for its rally cars, touring cars and not much else. A shift to EVs might be considerably harder for rivals like Mercedes that have deep investments in competitions like Formula 1. For that matter, VW itself still has strong commitments to gas-based racing through Audi and Porsche. This isn't as wholesale a switch as VW implies."   https://www.engadget.com/2019/11/25/vw-motorsport-drops-gas-cars   LOTUS EVIJA ELECTRIC SUPERCAR ON THE MOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME "With Geely planning to put Lotus back where it belongs on the sports car map, there are a lot of reasons to get excited about what the masterminds in Norfolk are cooking up. " writes Motor1.com: "the Evija will go into production next year as the flagship of the rejuvenated British brand. The fully electric supercar made its debut in mid-July, and now it’s time to see it in action during some brief high-speed testing on a private test track. We’re looking at the second engineering prototype built by Lotus likely stretching its legs on the Top Gear track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey by the looks of it. Only 130 production cars are going to be built, and Lotus says comprehensive validation and initial build process is well underway. It’s targeting an output of 1,973 horsepower thanks to quad electric motors enabling a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than three seconds, with another three seconds needed to reach 124 mph (200 km/h)."   https://www.motor1.com/news/383808/lotus-evija-on-the-move/   THE C8 CORVETTE ZR1 WILL BE HYBRID AND MAKE 900 HP: REPORT "We first heard this rumor over a year ago now, but a new report says it’s been confirmed that the hottest version of the new mid-engine Corvette will be hybrid, boosting its output to 900 HP." according to Jalopnik: "The electric system will apparently be mated with a twin-turbo V8, the engine that reportedly will power the Z06"   And as per MotorTrend: "Now, we can report from an even higher-placed source that the range-topping C8 Corvette ZR1 will add a performance hybrid system to boost it to 900 hp. Rumors of a hybridized C8 have been flowing for quite some time, but now we have exclusive confirmation from a senior official at GM. The ZR1 will build on the Z06's all-new engine with a performance- (not fuel economy-) oriented hybrid system to fill in torque gaps and increase total output to an even 900 hp."   https://jalopnik.com/the-c8-corvette-zr1-will-be-hybrid-and-make-900-hp-rep-1840013799   VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 ELECTRIC CROSSOVER IS THE ID CROZZ CONCEPT, EVOLVED "As the Volkswagen ID Crozz concept has evolved over time, we’ve gotten a better idea of how the company’s first dedicated EV (e-Golf being a variant of an internal-combustion vehicle) for the U.S. market is shaping up. In short, these new spy shots answer that question thusly: shapely!" says Autoblog: "The ID.4, as we have called it in recent spy shots, is seen here with far less camouflage than we’ve seen in the past. Despite some flourishes that make it look a bit like an Opel, the overall effect is extremely attractive. While it’s subjective, what we’re seeing here is perhaps the best-looking of the ID variants, concept or no. Like all ID variants, it’ll use a version of Volkswagen’s MEB electric architecture. The concept version, the ID Crozz, featured a dual-motor setup and a projected 250-mile max range from an 83-kWh battery. Those specs seem appropriate for a production version, although things may change between now and then."   https://www.autoblog.com/2019/11/25/vw-id4-crozz-spy-shots   NEW NISSAN LEAF CUSTOMERS TO GET PRE-PAID CHARGING ACCESS TO EVGO’S CHARGING NETWORK Nissan and EVgo announced today that they are providing new Nissan LEAF owners and lessees access to EVgo’s U.S. charging network through a new program, “Nissan Energy Perks by EVgo.”   Nissan Energy Perks by EVgo is a new platform designed to encourage more U.S. drivers to make the switch to an electric vehicle.

He didn’t explain how they would make it smaller." reports electrek: "esla never confirmed the dimensions of the Cybertruck, but Musk said on stage that it is roughly the same size as the Ford F150. Now on Twitter, Musk says that long term, Tesla could make a smaller version of the Cybertruck. Those smaller vehicles are often referred to as “small” or “mid-size” pickup trucks, and they often feature a smaller bed (4′ feet to 5 feet) and/or a smaller cabin — generally still seating five, but with much less room in the back."   https://www.electrek.co/2019/11/25/tesla-cybertruck-elon-musk-hints-smaller-electric-pickup-truck/   PANASONIC WILL NOT BUILD NEW BATTERY FACTORY FOR TESLA IN CHINA "According to CEO Kazuhiro Tsuga, Panasonic is not currently planning a new battery cell factory for Tesla in China. Officially, however, it remains open whether Tesla will rely on another manufacturer for the Shanghai plant or imported battery cells from Gigafactory 1." writes electrive today: "According to Reuters, Tsuga’s current statements reflect Panasonic’s growing caution towards Tesla. The joint battery business of Panasonic and Tesla does not yet have sustainable profits. Tsuga admitted earlier this year that it underestimated the risks associated with Tesla."   QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week…   "The controversial, and botched, Cybertruck launch is now the most-Googled search term in the companies history. But did it help or hinder the wider movement to EVs?”   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 251 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Tom went to a SEMA conference and was in the same room as Mike's hero's collectable race cars.  Paul Newman's #33 owned by Adam Carolla was at the location for a photo shoot.  Tom saw an opening to abuse Mike a little bit.  As Adam would say... good times. Howard Tanner called in and he is always a good phone guest.  Howard always has good stuff going on.  It's nice to hear he is moving forward with his business. Redline will be relocating to a much larger facility.  Howard has lots going on with the new C7 style Z06, including one that will be in one of the half mile "Wanna Go Fast" events.  Stay tuned for results.  Howard and Tom are headed back to Dubai again for some additional meetings.  We really can't understand how these guys make it back without being arrested.  Always a fun time With Howard. Mike is a little hostile about the election stuff, and he actually explained how the podcast started.  This actually started out with the intention of a political podcast, we think they made the better choice.  This is much more fun, but it was nice to hear how it came to be. Caller Scott North calls in, and let us say, we have lots of a respect for this listener.  This guy is a real racer.  He decided to run an NHRA stock class car.  This is NEVER an easy task, and it's even harder to set records and hit indexes.  Scott did both.  Listen to hear about this guy's car...its not what you would think and shows what can be done.
