| Why the new Mercedes-AMG C63 is such a miss, plus much more #226 | 26 Aug 2024 | 00:47:58 | |
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the new Mercedes-AMG C63 with its controversial hybrid powertrain. Gone is the rumbling V8, in its place a four-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor that between them generate 670bhp. But the car is also very heavy, very expensive and lacking an appropriate soundtrack for a C63 AMG. They also talk about McLaren's incredible Formula 1 turnaround, Monterey Car Week and more.

| How car companies really make money #212 | 20 May 2024 | 00:44:34 | |
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the ways in which car manufacturers really make money.

Indeed, those high-end manufacturers now have whole departments dedicated to optional extras and personalisation.
