In this episode of TFL Car Chat, Tommy and Kase dive into the newly unveiled 2027 Ford Bronco Filson edition, an ultra-premium, outdoorsy collaboration inspired by rugged Pacific Northwest style. Built to feel more like a high-end luxury cruiser, this version focuses heavily on premium comfort, featuring plush leather seats, durable fabric accents, and a much quieter cabin that blocks out annoying wind noise. Switching from trail rigs to high-end speed, the hosts react to Audi's striking new supercar concept. Packing nearly 1,000 horsepower from a hybrid engine, its sharp, blocky angles look completely different from the smooth luxury styling Audi is famous for. Kase shares his firsthand experience driving Audi's latest high-performance electric car, explaining that while the dizzying acceleration is almost stomach-churning, the coolest feature is an advanced suspension system that automatically pops the car up when you open the door to make climbing in and out easy. Finally, the guys wrap up the show by laughing through their own ongoing garage disasters, venting about the absolute nightmare of fixing tangled wiring and the endless frustration of installing, removing, and rebuilding old parts on Tommy’s classic Jeep and Kase's project Land Rover.( http://www.patreon.com/tflcar ) Visit our Patreon page to support the TFL team!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy"},"annotations":[{"id":404243,"startTime":61.7,"endTime":76.84,"type":"car","title":"Ford Bronco Filson","url":"/cars/ford/bronco","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/1994_Ford_Bronco%2C_Rear_Right%2C_06-16-2020.jpg","quote":"So I was just in Washington for the launch of a new edition of the Ford Bronco called the Ford Bronco Filson.
