    Jaguar E-type, Beauty and Performance!

    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!   Music:  Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?

    Nissan Pao, Slow, Small and Amazing

    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.  Thanks for Listening!  Music:  Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?

    Top Fuel Dragsters, the 8,000 HP Monsters!

    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.  Thanks for listening!  Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5025-beauty-flow License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?

    Yamaha 0X99-11, The Formula one Road Car!

    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. Thanks for listening! Music:  Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?

    Turbocharging, Explanation and History

    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 Thanks for Listening!  Music:  Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?

    Niki Lauda, The Formula One Driver that couldn't be Stopped

    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.  Thanks for Listening  Music  Alive by LiQWYD https://soundcloud.com/liqwyd?  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0  Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/l_alive?

    Ferrari P cars, The Almost Unbeatable Car of the Golden Age

    Ferrari P cars  In this episode, I cover the Ferrari P cars, purpose-built endurance race cars that would dominate the world of endurance racing starting in 1963. This car would go through multiple generations being continually improved. For years these cars were untouchable, this would change in 1966 with the dominant win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Ford, bring home the top 3 positions in the GT40. While the Ferrari P4 would be built to bring victory back to Ferrari, it would fail to do so, losing to Ford again. Ferrari has not won the 24 Hours of Le Mans since their loss in 1966.  Thanks for Listening!  Music:  Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?

    Datsun/Nissan Z Cars Pt. 2, The Come Back to Performance

    Datsun/Nissan Z cars Pt.2  In this episode, I cover the latest generations of the Datsun/Nissan Z cars, starting with the 300ZX all the way to the newly shown off Z Proto. With the first 300ZX, things were looking up in terms of performance, but the car still had a long way to go. By 1990 the Z32 300ZX was out and this car became incredible, utilizing a twin-turbo V6 engine, 4 wheel steering, and many other upgrades. The Z32 would become one of the best sports cars of the time. The 350Z and 370Z both continued the trend of good performance and a good price, the next-generation Z Proto was just shown off and things are looking good again for this latest Z car  Thanks for Listening!  Music  Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?
