    Matt Farah and Zack Klapman review the all-new Bentley Continental GT Hybrid and compare it to a 1992 Bentley Turbo R; we get some intel on why British car stereos sound a certain way; Zack went to the FCP Euro West Coast gathering and saw some interesting cars; and they answer Patreon questions including: Should I trade in my Ferrari F8 for a 296?

    Gross Car Experiences; Reviews: Revology Mustang GT and GR Corolla AT

    Can an old Mustang be made new again? For a lot of money, yes. But is it worth it? Matt Farah and Zack Klapman review the new (but also sort of old) and very expensive Revology Mustang GT; test drive the 2025 GR Corolla Automatic (and tell you about the differences with this year's car); Matt discovered what part of his old Bentley was leaking onto the driveway; and we answer Patreon questions including: What's the grossest thing we've done in someone else's car 981 vs 982 Cayman S differences What is our dream "Whistlin' Diesel-style durability" test? Should automotive CEOs drive the competition? What else would you buy for the GT3's $250k budget? Will rolling back EV credits help Detroit? Is car shopping for other people frustrating? Why aren't more people 3D printing? Will the electric G Wagen depreciate like other EVs? Why isn't the Lamborghini Aventador a halo car like the Miura or Ferrari F40? And more!

What separates good drivers from great ones How to win Le Mans if you never went karting Is "natural talent" a real thing? Why falling is good One-on-one coaching vs driving school Is a $20,000,000 simulator worth it?
