Extreme (Yang)Wang, Catfish Mercedes, and BMW Lies
About this episode
A tragic incident involving Andy Warhol's BMW M1 Art Car at the National Mall sparks a discussion about the car's cultural significance and the intersection of art and motorsport. The hosts delve into the car's history, its unique creation by Warhol, and the implications of its recent accident. They also explore bizarre auction outcomes, including a Porsche Cayenne that sold for an astonishing $125,000, and BMW's controversial stance on Apple CarPlay. The episode wraps up with insights on electric vehicles and the latest automotive news, all delivered with humor and engaging banter.
Extreme YangWang — China’s 308 mph supercar — is now the fastest production car on earth. We dig into Andy Warhol’s fatal BMW M1 Art Car, the $125k Porsche Cayenne auction that makes no sense, BMW’s oversized grills, and Mercedes’ so-called “electric V8.”
