Jaguar E-type 

In this week's episode, I cover the Jaguar E-type, also known as the XK-E in North America. This impressive sports car was first produced in 1961. Not only did the car have impressive performance, utilizing technology developed in 24 hours of Le Man racing, this car also looked amazing, being called "the most beautiful car in the world" by Enzo Ferrari. The car would go through 3 series with the last version being given a V12 engine. 

Thanks for Listening!

Nissan Pao

In this week's episode, I talk about the Nissan Pao, a very unique car created in 1989. The Pao is a tiny, retro-designed car that is very underpowered, but still has appeal in the fact that there is nothing else out there like it. The Pao was created as a pike car, a series of cars that Nissan created to master small-scale production and retro design. The Pao was only sold in Japan.

In this week's episode, I cover top fuel dragsters, the quickest accelerating cars in the world. These drag cars use V8 engines based on a 1960s Hemi engine. These cars use a supercharger and nitromethane fuel to create an amazing 8,000 hp, (yes, the 3 zeros are correct). With this power these cars have a 0-60 time of 0.8 seconds and can travel 1000 feet in under 4 seconds, top speed is around 330 mph.

Yahama 0X99-11

In this week's episode, I cover the Yahama 0X99-11, an insane road car that was built around an f1 car. The car used an f1 V12 engine, an f1 chassis, and an f1 suspension. Unforuinity the car was going to cost a ton of money and an economic downturn happened right when this car was going to be released. This killed the 0X99-11 project and only 3 prototypes were created.

Turbocharging,

In this episode, I talk about how turbocharging works and the history of this technology. Turbocharging has been around for more than 100 years and used in lots of forms of transportation such as ships, trains, airplanes, and cars. Turbocharging has lots of advantages such as improved power and efficiency but also has downsides such as turbo lag. Turbocharging is pretty common in modern cars to improve efficiency, but throughout history, turbocharging has been used to make power. Examples of big power turbo cars include group B rally cars and formula 1 cars in the 1980s

Niki Lauda 

In this epiosde I cover the F1 driver, Niki Lauda. Lauda would win the Formula 1 drivers championship 3 times and be on several successful teams during his career including Ferrari and McLaren. A big part of his driving career centered around a comeback after a crash at the Nurburgring which nearly took his life. Niki would start to race again just 6 weeks after this crash and go on to find even more success.
