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 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?

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?

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?

Datsun Z Cars In this episode, I cover the first generations of the Datsun Z cars. The first of these, the 240Z, or Fairlady Z in Japan, was an affordable high-performance car based on the successful rally car, the Datsun 510. Not only did the 240Z offer an amazing driving experience but it was also offerable, costing a little more than the MGB GT. The engine size would increase leading to the 260Z and the 280Z. Unfortunately by the 280ZX generation the car had become a luxury car with a sloppy suspension and had lost its high-performance identity. Luckily a turbocharged version was looking to change that and bring the z car back to its former glory.  Thanks for Listening.  Music:  Finally by Loxbeats https://soundcloud.com/loxbeats?

Studebaker Avanti  In this episode, I cover the Studebaker Avanti, and non-Studebaker Avanti's as the car outlasted its parent company. Originally designed to save Studebaker in the 1960s, the Avanti would compete with the Ford Thunderbird and the Chevy Corvette. Powered by a Studebaker made V8, this car was not only powerful but lightweight and looked amazing with a unique design that wasn't American, it looked like nothing else on the road. while the car did not manage to save Studebaker, other companies would be created to continue production of the Avanti. Several  of these companies would go bankrupt themselves, but the torch would be passed on and the official end of Avanti production happened in 2006, 40 years after Studebaker closed.  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?

Toyota Supra  In this weeks episode I cover the Toyota Supra, the JDM legend that started as a fairly low key car based off of the Toyota Celica. Originally designed to compete with the Datsun Z cars, the Supra would come into its own by its fourth generation where it would cement itself as a monster street racer with the ability to handle big power from the factory. The newest Supra was released just last year, however this Supra uses a BMW engine and some see this newest generation as not a true Toyota Supra! Thanks for listening!

Hudson Hornet In this episode I cover the Hudson Hornet, a car that dominated early stock car racing thanks to its flathead straight six engine, step-down chassis design, and its low slung, aerodynamic body. The Hudson Hornet would take multiple championships but eventually fall behind in sales due to it never being given a V8 and having an older look that could not be easily updated.  Thanks for Listening!  Flat Head engine Design image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flathead_engine#/media/File:Side-valve_engine_with_Ricardo's_turbulent_head_01.png Sources Note: Due to my hard drive corrupting itself I lost the original file that listed the sources used for this episode, the sources below are the ones I believe I used but there is a chance I am missing some sources, my apologies.  https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/hudson-twin-h-power https://www.nascarhall.com/blog/top-10-list-hudson-hornet https://historygarage.com/the-fabulous-hudson-hornet/ https://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-racing/nascar/history/history-of-stock-car-racing.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flathead_engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabulous_Hudson_Hornet#:~:text=The%20Fabulous%20Hudson%20Hornet%20is,the%20%22Fabulous%20Hudson%20Hornet%22.

Lotus Esprit  In this episode, I cover the Lotus Esprit, A supercar built by Lotus in the 1970s that was designed to change the image of Lotus, from a kit car manufacturer to a supercar builder. Although the Esprit started out fairly underpowered, through the generations this car would start to make big power, eventually using a twin-turbo V8 engine capable of 500 hp. This car was the catalyst for Louts' transformation.   Thanks for Listening!  Music:  District Four by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3662-district-four License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4071-monkeys-spinning-monkeys License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Guiton Sketch by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3834-guiton-sketch License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sneaky Adventure by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4383-sneaky-adventure License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Truth of the Legend by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4551-truth-of-the-legend License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sources:  https://www.automobilemag.com/news/lotus-esprit-history-generations-specifications/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Esprit https://silodrome.com/lotus-esprit-history/ https://www.hagerty.com/media/people/know-your-designers-giorgetto-giugiaro/ https://www.encycarpedia.com/us/lotus/76-esprit-s1-coupe http://www.lotusespritworld.com/EGuides/ETechnical/V8_Engine_Spec.html https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/cars/article/lotus-espirit https://burnsstainless.com/blogs/articles-1/air-to-water-intercooler-tech-101-what-it-does-and-what-you-need#:~:text=At%20its%20essence%2C%20an%20intercooler,sent%20through%20the%20other%20side.

Mazda 787B  In this episode, I cover the Mazda 787B, a racecar developed in the early 1990s that would go on to be the first rotary power racecar to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
