THE UGLIEST SUPERCAR, BEST LICENSE PLATE DESIGNS, AND A BIG AUTOMOTIVE REGRET! THIS CAR POD! EP49

EV Channels Review

This episode of 'This Car Pod' dives into a variety of automotive news and discussions, highlighting the controversial BMW M4 VR46 edition, a limited run of 46 units featuring unique graphics and chassis tuning, with the added perk of a potential barbecue with Valentino Rossi. The hosts express strong opinions on its aesthetics and unusual pairing. The discussion also touches on the Kia EV4 render, noting its distinctive triangular wheels and the potential for enhanced EV sound technology. Genesis's upcoming GV90 SUV is mentioned, with a focus on its potential 'suicide doors' and luxury aspirations. The departure of Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson is covered, alongside the company's struggles and future outlook. Mercedes-Benz's decision to retain V8 and V12 engines is praised as a move against full EV commitment. A particularly strong reaction is reserved for the 'Value Progress Beast,' a heavily modified Lamborghini Diablo, which the hosts universally deem one of the ugliest supercars ever created. The episode also features discussions on the Cleetus McFarland Altima race, the enduring appeal and ownership challenges of the Ferrari 355, the Bugatti Chiron's immense presence and the depreciation fears associated with driving it, and the surprisingly strong market performance of the BMW M2 Competition compared to the 1M. The segment concludes with a look at impressive upcoming listings on Cars & Bids, including a GT3 RS and a rare Tommy Kaira ZZ.
