About this episode

Jaguar’s new electric concept, the Type 01, takes center stage—four-door speculation, “tight” shut lines, and claims of “Zero tailpipe emissions” plus roughly “1,000 horsepower.” The hosts then pivot to Lotus’s hybrid V8 supercar plans and the messy reality of transmission choices, emissions rules, and resale value. Lamborghini Revuelto pricing is “collapsing in the used market,” while Nissan Z may shift to build-to-order. The back half broadens into roadster/EV market trends and a Cars and Bids market report.
