EV Channels Review

This episode of 'This Car Pod' features a lively discussion on the current state of the automotive market, with a particular focus on struggling brands and enthusiast cars. The hosts express significant concern over Maserati's future, citing dismal sales figures for the Ghibli, with only 51 units sold in Europe during the first quarter. They speculate that the brand might not survive, a sentiment echoed for Jaguar, whose recent rebrand and focus on ultra-luxury EVs are seen as a failed gamble in a cooling market. The podcast also touches on exciting developments from Ferrari, including trademark registrations for new models, and Porsche's one-off 963 RMS. A significant portion is dedicated to a manual conversion of a Lamborghini Murciélago, highlighting the vast price difference between e-gear and manual versions and the appeal of such modifications for enthusiasts. The Bentley Arnage's resurrection from a basket case to a daily driver is also a highlight, showcasing impressive restoration work. The hosts also discuss the enduring value and positive reception of the Audi R8 V8 manual, deeming it an excellent enthusiast buy under $70,000. The episode concludes with a discussion on the BMW E9 CSL, praising its iconic status and driving experience.
