Warning: We Get VERY Political! | Ep. 328","url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/breaking-news-extra-episode-honda-cancels-all-new-us-evs-zr1x-driven-warning-we-get-very-political-ep-328","audioUrl":"https://audio4.redcircle.com/episodes/8bb2ca30-0c60-4abc-86d0-6861aabac8b9/stream.mp3","description":"( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this breaking news bonus episode of TFL Car Chat, we’re joined by MotoMan from @MMTVCars to discuss Honda’s massive strategy shift. The automaker has officially pulled the plug on its highly anticipated 0 Series electric sedan and SUV, citing a cooling U.S. market and shifting federal policies. We break down what this $15 billion retreat means for the industry and how it reflects a broader return to affordable gas and hybrid vehicles as EV adoption hits a major speed bump.The conversation then shifts to high-octane performance, headlined by the mind-blowing Corvette ZR1X. With 1,250 hp and a 0–60 mph time of just 1.68 seconds, it’s officially entered hypercar territory. We also dive into the Lamborghini Temerario’s 10,000-rpm V8 hybrid, the raw analog thrill of the Nilu 27, and the record-shattering Yangwang U9 Xtreme, which recently clocked an absurd 308 mph. Whether it's the track-ready BMW M2 CS or rear-wheel-drive ZR1 purism, this episode covers the absolute limits of modern automotive engineering.( 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":[{"startTime":24.08,"endTime":29.36,"type":"car","title":"Chevrolet Corvette","url":"/cars/chevrolet/corvette","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/Chevrolet_Corvette%2C_BAS_24%2C_Brussels_%28P1170387-RR%29.jpg","quote":"... the ZR1 which I'm excited to hear all about, the Corvette of course, the BMW  M2 CS, the Yang-Wing U2 Extre...","canonicalId":"car:chevrolet:corvette","priority":0.7,"confidence":1.0,"source":"fuzzy","data":{"imageAttribution":"Matti Blume (CC BY-SA)"}},{"startTime":29.36,"endTime":36.28,"type":"car","title":"BMW M2","url":"/cars/bmw/m2","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/2023_BMW_M2_Competition.jpg","quote":"... hear all about, the Corvette of course, the BMW  M2 CS, the Yang-Wing U2 Extreme and the Neloo 27, is...","canonicalId":"car:bmw:m2","priority":0.7,"confidence":1.0,"source":"fuzzy","data":{"imageAttribution":"Wikisympathisant (CC BY-SA 4.0)"}},{"startTime":72.56,"endTime":79.24000000000001,"type":"car","title":"Acura Rsx","url":"/cars/acura/rsx","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/02-04_Acura_RSX_.jpg","quote":"...loon, in other  words the sedan and of course the Acura RSX, all dead as of today and they're taking and  get...","canonicalId":"car:acura:rsx","priority":0.5,"confidence":1.0,"source":"fuzzy","data":{"imageAttribution":"IFCAR (Public domain)"}},{"startTime":200.5,"endTime":202.94,"type":"car","title":"Dodge Charger","url":"/cars/dodge/charger","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/1970_Dodge_Charger_R-T_Hirschaid_22-20220709-RM-120204.jpg","quote":"I love EVs.
