The C8 ZR1 has arrived, and so too has a new ICONS episode on Detroit's supercar-killing, 1064-hp twin-turbo, flat-plane crank Corvette. We'll review the new car in detail and cover all the important bit players: the original 6-cylinder C1, the C3's optional ZR1 package, the Lotus-powered C4, and the supercharged C6 and C7 – plus rivals like the Ferrari 348, Porsche 911 Turbo, Ferrari 296 and SF90, and Lamborghini Revuelto. Can the C8 ZR1 cement its legacy as peak American sports car, or has it lost the plot pursuing the Europeans? === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US.

Scott Hoke from Mecum Auctions joins us from Indianapolis to share what makes the upcoming Houston auction such a compelling destination for car enthusiasts. With his broadcasting career spanning back to 1979, Scott brings decades of automotive passion to our conversation about collector cars and the unique experience Mecum creates."It's the best car show that you'll ever attend because you're probably going to find something or see something that you've never seen before," Scott explains, highlighting how Mecum events offer value beyond just bidding opportunities. The nostalgia factor drives deep connections as visitors reminisce about cars from their past – whether personally owned, admired from afar, or part of family history.The Houston auction, happening April 3-5 at NRG Center, will feature approximately 1,000 vehicles including several standout offerings. A 1963 Chevy II Nova convertible with dark blue exterior and baseball glove leather interior promises to turn heads, while Corvette enthusiasts will appreciate several examples including a rare 2019 ZR1. Second-generation Ford GTs from 2005-2006 continue showing strong market performance and will likely command significant attention.We also take the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV for a test drive. This new addition to Mazda's lineup slots between the CX-50 and CX-90, essentially offering the larger CX-90 platform without the third row. With a distinctive copper exterior paired with red Nappa leather interior, the vehicle makes a bold visual statement. The plug-in hybrid system delivers impressive efficiency when charged, though the 26-mile electric-only range raises questions about the premium price over traditional gasoline models.Whether you're a serious collector ready to bid or simply appreciate automotive history and craftsmanship, both the Mecum Auction and our detailed vehicle reviews offer something valuable.

Porsche has finally done it... they've electrified the iconic 911. The latest 992.2 Porsche 911 T-Hybrid, introduces the first hybridized 911 to the public. Surely to ruffle more than a few feathers, this is a very big departure from the usual recipe of mid-cycle refreshes on the 911. Along with Porsche making big announcements, Chevrolet teases the ZR1 further, Subaru continues to do everything BUT make a new STi, Toyota does a HUGE recall and Cybertruck owners are learning a lesson in size dimensions. Rounding out this episode I spend some time having my thoughts on Jeep's latest EV.... a $72,000 luxury SUV. Yes, it starts at that price and I have some opinions.

THE CORVETTE WAS ALREADY A SPORTS CAR FOR OLD FARTS.. (that doesn't stop me from wanting one) So Chevy went & made a Corvette for even older farts with the E-Ray? Reading between the lines, GM gets a lot of old guys who want to spend as much money as possible on a new Corvette. And up until this point, that's led them straight into a badass, uncomfortable, RWD Z06 or ZR1 that wants to vaporize you. But most old-timers don't have the heart for that kind of monster on their daily trip to wherever they go for eggs, crispy bacon, and black coffee in the morning. So Chevy decided to offer these geezers an equally expensive Corvette, but with more civility. Still bonkers-fast when you put the pedal down, but a lot more predictable with all-wheel-drive. Give ‘em something they can handle, while still taking all their money, and while implementing some new ‘electrified tech' into a flagship performance model. Basically… an Audi jk. It's actually kind of brilliant. THE THEORY BEHIND THE CORVETTE E-RAY… Is to use a hybrid system to power the front wheels, while letting the C8's mid-engine V8 power the rear wheels. And then give it a really cringy name & embroider it all over dad hats & floor mats. But here's the good part: The battery in the E-Ray is tiny. It only weighs about 100lbs, and can recharge itself almost instantly, either with power from regenerative braking, or power created from the V8. Chevy says, “It's all about power in, power out.” Meaning, the battery doesn't need to be big, because it doesn't store power. It's essentially just a hot-potato to grab & release that extra 160hp to the front wheels. With the additional 160hp, the E-Ray generates a total of 655hp, making an AWD Corvette missile that absolutely rips off the line & sticks in corners. So bottom line: It gives gramps the ultimate acceleration he paid for… while hopefully keeping him between the ditches. I will say, even though the E-Ray doesn't tickle my britches personally – it is encouraging to see GM implement EV tech in a performance-oriented way. And to do so with a smaller, lighter battery approach. It points to a more cost-effective, sustainable middle-ground for future models perhaps. A way to do more with less – GM is thinking like racers here. In other words, not like they were thinking when they built the 9,000lb Hummer EV with a 3,000lb battery. EVEN THOUGH THE E-RAY IS IMPRESSIVE FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT… Is it what the Corvette nation really wanted? Chevy promised a sub-$60,000 price on the C8. They lied. Now it's been 3-4 years, and you still don't really see Corvettes at dealerships, or even on the road too much. Not like you did with previous generations. The Corvette was always America's sports car. And now Chevy builds an E-Ray at over 100k? Who is this for exactly? It seems like Corvette is straying off-course from its fanbase. There were only about 34,000 Corvettes sold last year. Maybe that's because Corvette buyers want an iconic ground-pounder. I think most of them want a sense of performance purity, not hybrid technology. But what do I know? Maybe Chevrolet sees a customer that I don't.

In this On the Move, hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman have a ton of event updates and recaps to share, starting with Mecum's Tulsa auction. The four-day event saw 643 vehicles cross the auction block with total sales reaching $17 million. A 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX4000 Series Roadster took the high seller spot, selling for $409,750. From there, the guys dive into recent travels, including detailing their special look at the new home of the famed Hirohata Mercury custom, their time at the Bloomington Gold Corvette and Camaro show, and their days on the road with the Hot Rod Power Tour. Then, it's off to rumors swirling around the C8 Corvette Z06 and a potential interior redesign that may remove the "great wall" console. In the latter half of this week's episode, Matt and John share a preview of what's in store for Mecum's Orlando Summer Special, taking place July 6-9 at the Orange County Convention Center. After sharing a brief origin of the event, the guys go into some brand new bidder registration options making their debut at the auction. Then it's off to a few consignment highlights, with Matt spotlighting a 1959 Chevrolet Impala Convertible (that's hiding some modern upgrades) and a bad-to-the-bone 1987 Buick GNX with 55 miles. Meanwhile, John is taken by a classic Mustang K-code convertible and a pair of "bookend Corvettes": a 1990 ZR1 with 98 miles and a supercharged 2019 ZR1 with 755 HP.

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 #726   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 23rd March 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Welcome to a new PRODUCER MADS GYBEL VEJ ANDERSEN   ELECTRIC CARS PRODUCE LESS CO2 THAN PETROL VEHICLES, STUDY CONFIRMS "Electric vehicles produce less carbon dioxide than petrol cars across the vast majority of the globe – contrary to the claims of some detractors, who have alleged that the CO2 emitted in the production of electricity and their manufacture outweighs the benefits." reports The Guardian today: "The finding is a boost to governments, including the UK, seeking to move to net zero carbon emissions, which will require a massive expansion of the electric car fleet. Across the world, passenger road vehicles and household heating generate about a quarter of all emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. That makes electric vehicles essential to reducing overall emissions, but how clean an electric vehicle is also depends on how the electricity is generated, the efficiency of the supply and the efficiency of the vehicle. They found that in 53 out of 59 regions, comprising 95% of the world, electric vehicles and domestic heat pumps generate less carbon dioxide than fossil fuel powered cars or boilers. The only exceptions are heavily coal-dependent countries such as Poland. In countries such as Sweden, which gets most of its electricity from renewable sources, and France, which is largely powered by nuclear, the CO2 savings from using electric cars reach as high as 70% over their conventional counterparts."   Jean-Francois Mercure, of Exeter University: "“The answer is clear: to reduce carbon emissions, we should choose electric cars and household heat pumps over fossil fuel alternatives.”   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/23/electric-cars-produce-less-co2-than-petrol-vehicles-study-confirms   TESLA MODEL Y OWNER DISCOVERS NEW HEAT PUMP AFTER FRUNK “TEARDOWN” "Tesla Model Y saw the introduction of a new heat pump that’s designed to be more energy-efficient and provides a more reliable range in cold weather conditions" says Teslarati: "Tesla owner Erik Strait and host of the DÆrik Youtube channel recently disassembled the front trunk (“frunk”) section of the vehicle to have a closer look at the Model Y heat pump. After removing the plastic liners in the frunk, Erik was able to discover Model Y’s heat pump located on top of the front motor assembly. Coolant lines can also be seen running through the vehicle’s firewall and to a location where Tesla’s Hardware 3 computer resides."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-y-heat-pump-frunk-teardown/   2021 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8 HYBRID SPIED "Though it’s still yet to hit UK soil, first customer deliveries of the all-new, mid-engined C8 Corvette have begun in the US, with the model competing with Porsche’s 992 911 Carrera. Following previous rumours of an electrified variant, photographers have already spotted a hybrid testing on the road." writes evo.co.uk - "Though a more standard hybrisied variant with similar power to the current pure-combustion car was listed, an iteration complete with an electrified 5.5-litre twin-turbocharged V8 powertrain is said to produce 838bhp and a staggering 922lb ft of torque – these numbers lead us to believe that this would be the range-topping, track-oriented ZR1."   https://www.evo.co.uk/chevrolet/corvette/202368/2021-chevrolet-corvette-c8-hybrid-spies-pictures   JAGUAR LAND ROVER PLANS NEW ELECTRIC CROSSOVERS, THE J-PACE AND ROAD ROVER "According to a report today from UK’s Autocar, the company’s historic plant in Castle Bromwich will also produce two new electric crossovers – the Jaguar J-Pace and a Land Rover model dubbed “Road Rover.”" according to electrek: "The two new JLR models are expected to go on sale by the end of 2021. Both vehicles will be built on the new MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) platform. JLR is investing £1 billion ($1.15 billion) to convert its Castle Bromwich and Solihull plants to produce MLA cars. There have been hints since last year that the Jaguar I-Pace will eventually move to the MLA platform, likely when a second-generation version is created. Vehicles built on the MLA platform are reported to use a 90.2 kWh battery."   https://electrek.co/2020/03/23/jaguar-land-rover-plans-new-electric-crossovers-the-j-pace-and-road-rover/   SWISS RIDER ON HARLEY-DAVIDSON LIVEWIRE SETS ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE DISTANCE RECORD "Harley-Davidson's electric LiveWire offers about 100 miles of riding range, so it's not as well suited to long road trips as its gasoline-powered siblings, but that doesn't mean it can't go the distance. Swiss rider Michel von Tell proved that by setting a new 24-hour distance record (albeit an unofficial one) on Harley's first electric model." reports Autoblog: "Von Toll's record-setting, 1,070-mile trip took him to four countries in 23 hours and 48 minutes. He covered this distance on his own, and he comfortably beat the old, 818-mile record set in 2018 by a team of seven riders who took turns going around a test track on a Zero SR. Data like how much electricity Von Toll used during his trip and how many times he stopped to charge will be published by Harley-Davidson in the coming days."   https://www.autoblog.com/2020/03/23/harley-davidson-livewire-electric-motorcycle-distance-record/   AUDI E-TRON HYBRID COMING 2021 "The 2021 Audi A3 Sedan will be on sale in the United States before the end of the year, according to Car and Driver citing inside sources. The A3 sedan in the U.S. will come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with mild-hybrid assistance that will make about 240 horsepower (179 kilowatts)" says Motor1.com: "In comparison, the A3 hatchback in Europe offers buyers significantly more options. The base unit is a 1.0-liter three-cylinder with 110 hp (82 kW). There's also a 1.5-liter unit available with or without mild-hybrid assistance, and both have 150 hp (112 kW). A 2.0-liter turbodiesel comes with either 116 hp (87 kW) or 150 hp. Two plug-in hybrid versions are coming later using a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, electric motor, and six-speed dual-clutch gearbox."   https://www.motor1.com/news/405359/2021audi-a3-sedan-rumors/   POD POINT TO DEPLOY TRITIUM DC CHARGERS ACROSS THE UK "The British charging provider Pod Point (recently acquired by EDF), has selected Australian manufacturer Tritium as a preferred supplier of DC fast chargers."   write InsideEVs: "The agreement concerns the Veefil-RT 50 kW DC chargers, which will be used in "existing and future network rollouts across the United Kingdom". Probably soon the units will be installed on a high scale at Tesco stores in the UK, as Pod Point, Volkswagen and Tesco are equipping 600 stores with charging infrastructure."   "The agreement ensures Tritium’s Veefil-RT 50kW DC rapid charger, renowned for its compact design, ease of use and low maintenance, will be offered to Pod Point’s new and existing customers as part of its continuing nationwide EV charging network rollout. Pod Point chose Tritium as its preferred DC rapid charger supplier due to the proven reliability of Tritium’s chargers, the ease and speed of installation and their unique design, which enable Pod Point to offer selected customers the ability to add their branding to each charger."   https://insideevs.com/news/405371/pod-point-tritium-dc-chargers-uk/   PORSCHE RENEWS PLAN TO MAKE MACAN CROSSOVER A "FULLY BATTERY-POWERED MODEL SERIES" "Porsche is continuing plans to make the Macan crossover all-electric. It's a significant move, as the Macan is currently Porsche's bestselling model. In a report of its 2019 financial results, Porsche reiterated that the Macan will be the "second, fully battery-powered model series"—after the Taycan." says Green Car Reprots: "The automaker previously said the electric Macan would launch in 2022; it will arrive after the upcoming Taycan Cross Turismo wagon. Porsche has said the electric Macan will replace the gasoline model entirely, but it has left the door open for the current-generation Macan to be sold alongside the all-electric next-generation model. Porsche's wording likely signals that the company doesn't intend for that transition to last long."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1127535_porsche-renews-plan-to-make-macan-crossover-a-fully-battery-powered-model-series   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   How can the EV community all come together at this time to support each other?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 241 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.

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. Nissan will provide $250 of pre-paid charging credits with EVgo – the nation’s largest and most reliable public EV fast charging network3 – to qualifying retail customers who lease or purchase a new Nissan LEAF or LEAF PLUS in participating markets on or after November 1, 2019. The program will provide participating retail customers with access to EVgo’s network of more than 750 public charging station locations with more than 1,200 fast chargers, as well as charging on other networks accessible through cooperative roaming agreements. As a result, new Nissan LEAF and LEAF PLUS owners and lessees will have access to more than 30,000 public EV chargers, the largest of any U.S. partnership.   ELON MUSK HINTS AT MAKING SMALLER VERSION OF THE ELECTRIC PICKUP TRUCK "Elon Musk is hinting at Tesla making a smaller version of the Cybertruck electric pickup truck in the future. 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.

We're talking about the new Vette, what's Good at the Festival of Speed, and Auto X summer nats. And FINALLY, we got a bean dip recipe for Sumanth.

It was inevitable. In fact, we were talking about it nearly three years ago. But late last week Chevrolet finally unveiled the mid-engine Corvette. Moving the location of the engine symbolized a number of transitions for the iconic eighth-generation sports car. From an engineering perspective, the move provides better weight distribution for the C8, which improves handling and overall performance. A 6.2-liter, 495-horsepower engine will occupy that center space. An optional ZR1 performance package allows the new Corvette to go zero to 60 mph in under three seconds, making it the fastest Corvette ever. It C8 also comes with a fast-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, and for those more concerned about fuel efficiency, four-cylinder models are also available. Engineers also incorporated heat shields and insulation to help reduce noise from an engine that will have moving parts less than a foot behind the driver’s seat. The C8 offers two trunks - one in the front about the size of an airline overhead bin and a rear hatch behind the engine large enough to hold two sets of golf clubs. Right now Chevrolet is hoping you think this sounds more like a high-end European-style sports car than the traditional Corvette. That’s because the company’s pivot to a mid-engine design also emanated from a desire to attract younger buyers that assume sports car performance has to emanate from across the pond. Described as "cab forward" design, the traditional long hood and sweeping fenders have been replaced by a downward-sloping nose that retains its traditional, shark-nose hood. One drawback to the new design is the need for large air intake vents on the sides to help cool the engine, which makes it slightly less aerodynamic. While options can take the C8 well over $100,000, the base price comes in at about $60,000, or $4,000 more than the current base model. Chevrolet sells about 20,000 Corvettes annually, but relies on the brand to help bolster its image and engineering capabilities.The new ‘Vette’s will be manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and arrive in showrooms later this year.

This episode is about the only good looking C4 corvette, the ZR1. I will be going in depth about this awsome car and how now is a great time to get one if your interested.Thanks for listening!

It's a very special episode this week as James Glickenhaus joins the show to talk about his approach to breaking lap records at the Nurburgring. A special deep dive feature, with unabridged interview, will be published later this week. For now, we've got a shorten version of the interview along with a run of news including discussion about the Chevrolet Bolt and its merits, potentially a new ZR1, and tire tread wear talk.

This week we talk about the Nissan GTR50, Chevy ZR1, Elon's arrogance, Tesla Pickup information, and 4B11T options.

Mercedes-Benz takes off the gloves in the compact SUV segment and pummels BMW and Audi with the new 2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63, a 500 horsepower family hauler that has no equal in its class, and Sami has the inside story on what it's like to drive it. Benjamin spends a week with the Nissan 370Z, a car that's been largely unchanged since 2009, and as a result finds itself out of step with the rest of the performance universe. Finally, leaked details about the upcoming Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 are debated, as the pair try to figure out how the ZR1 and the upcoming mid-engine Corvette can play nice together in a crowded Chevrolet showroom. Also, lots of jokes.

This week, Dan and Sam compare notes on the two Mercedes-Benz cars they drove, the E400 coupe and 2018 S560 4Matic sedan. Sam ponders whether partially automated systems are a good idea and whether everyone should simply take the Waymo path of highly automated driving that launching without a driver this week in Arizona.
