The Jaguar Type 01 Is Here, New Lotus V8 Supercar, the Revuelto Market is Crashing!

“Electric DV” refers to an electric development vehicle—an early prototype used to validate the drivetrain, packaging, and systems before a car is ready for production. In this segment, Doug DeMuro’s group is discussing Jaguar’s concept electric DV and then naming it as the Type 01.

Jaguar Type 01 is Jaguar’s concept car that’s positioned as an electric model, and the episode frames it as a name that’s now been confirmed. The hosts also hint at a four-door layout, and they comment on the bodywork “shut lines,” which are the panel gaps around doors and closures.

“Shut lines” are the visible panel gaps and alignment lines where doors, hatches, and other closures meet the body. Tight shut lines usually indicate better fit-and-finish and can also affect how well the doors seal and how solid the body feels.

A gullwing door is a door design that hinges at the roof so it swings upward, rather than opening outward like a conventional door. It’s often associated with exotic cars because it can improve access and create a distinctive look.

Torque is the twisting force an engine produces at the crankshaft, and it strongly influences how quickly a car accelerates, especially at lower speeds. The claim of at least 960 lb-ft suggests very strong low-to-mid-range pull and typically demands a drivetrain designed to handle that load.

Horsepower is an engineering measure of engine power—how quickly the engine can do work. When a car is claimed to have around 1,000 horsepower, it indicates extremely high power output that typically requires advanced cooling, fueling, and drivetrain strength.

“Zero tailpipe emissions” means the vehicle produces no exhaust gases at the tailpipe while driving. For an electric car, that’s because it doesn’t burn fuel in an engine, so there’s no combustion-related exhaust output during operation.

An electric car is powered primarily by one or more electric motors drawing energy from a battery. Compared with gasoline cars, the driving experience is often different because torque delivery and power management don’t rely on an engine’s RPM behavior.

The Nissan Leaf is a mainstream electric car that the hosts use as an example of how EVs can feel similar in everyday driving. They’re arguing that if a new EV claims it will “drive like no other,” that promise may not match real-world experience.

The used market is the resale market where buyers purchase cars that are no longer new. The hosts are claiming that certain EVs “tanked on the used market,” meaning their resale values dropped faster than expected.

Spy shots are photos taken of a car prototype while it’s being tested or moved around before official marketing photos are released. They’re often used to infer design details, like body shape and glass/roof features, even though the car may still change before launch.

The ultra luxury electric sedan market refers to the highest-end segment of battery-electric sedans, typically priced far above mainstream EVs. The hosts suggest that this segment is growing (“rising tide”), even if individual models struggle with sales or resale value.

Polestar 3 is a Polestar electric SUV/crossover, and the hosts use it as a design comparison. They specifically mention that it has no rear window, implying the Type 01 may use a similar glass/roof design approach.

The Polestar 4 is an electric crossover-coupe designed to blend SUV practicality with a more sloped, sporty body shape. The podcast references it alongside the Polestar 3, indicating they’re discussing the brand’s lineup and how models relate to each other. It’s mentioned as a newer EV model that fits into Polestar’s current strategy.

“Long lag” means a noticeable delay between when you ask for power (like pressing the accelerator) and when the car actually delivers it. In performance discussions, it’s often used to criticize throttle response or drivetrain/boost behavior that feels slow to react.

A “front trunk” (often called a frunk) is storage space in the front of a car, typically where an engine would normally sit. It’s most common on cars with packaging that allows the engine and other components to be positioned differently, improving storage without adding length.

“Build to order” means the factory builds a car after a specific customer places an order, rather than producing large batches for dealer lots. That typically reduces inventory and can make production volumes and availability tighter, even if dealers still place some stock orders.

The Nissan Z is a long-running Japanese sports-car nameplate known for a traditional, driver-focused layout and a strong enthusiast following. In this segment, the hosts talk about how the newer Nissan Z has become less common in their Southern California area, implying limited availability and production constraints.

The Toyota Supra is a performance sports car with a reputation for strong tuning potential and a long history in motorsport and enthusiast culture. The hosts compare the upcoming scarcity of the Nissan Z to the “98 Supra,” and later mention the Supra just ended, framing it as a limited-run/ending-production moment.

In car sales, “allocation” is how manufacturers distribute limited production cars to specific dealers or regions. When allocation is tight, dealers may receive fewer cars than demand, which can make certain trims or configurations harder to find and can reinforce scarcity.

The Honda S2000 is a Japanese roadster famous for its high-revving engine and driver-focused, lightweight layout. In the segment, it’s positioned as a “purpose-built” sports car that lasted into the late 2000s.

The Toyota MR2 Spider is a Japanese roadster variant of the MR2, known for being a lightweight, fun-to-drive sports car with open-top styling. In this discussion, it’s used as an example of a major Japanese sports-car launch around 2000.

The Subaru WRX STI is the high-performance, rally-bred variant of the WRX, typically associated with stronger turbo performance and a more hardcore chassis setup. In this segment, it’s used as an example of the “pre-existing car” performance approach—and later, they claim the STI is effectively gone from the market.

The Nissan GT-R is a Japanese performance car known for blending everyday usability with serious track-level performance. In this segment, it’s mentioned as part of the wave of Japanese performance cars that kept the scene alive.

“Purpose-built sports cars” are designed from the ground up with sports-car goals—like lightweight packaging, steering feel, and performance tuning—rather than being derived from a mainstream model. The hosts use this distinction to separate the Honda S2000 from cars like the WRX/STI that are based on other platforms.

The BMW M5 is BMW’s high-performance version of the 5 Series, typically combining strong power with a more practical sedan body. In this segment, it’s grouped with the M3 to argue that these are performance variants rather than “sports cars” in the strict sense.

The BMW M3 is BMW’s performance “M” model built on a regular 3 Series platform, but tuned for track-capable driving. In this discussion, it’s referenced to support the idea that some performance cars are based on existing models rather than being purpose-built sports cars.

The Toyota GR 86 is a compact, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe built for driver-focused handling and an engaging driving feel. It often comes up alongside other iconic Japanese sports cars because it’s a modern, affordable alternative that still emphasizes “fun over flash.” In the podcast, it’s mentioned in the context of what makes certain Japanese cars feel especially “Japanese.”

The Mazda MX-5, commonly called the Miata, is a lightweight two-seat roadster known for simple, balanced handling. It’s significant because it’s been continuously produced for years, making it one of the most enduring “driver’s cars” in its class. The podcast calls out that it’s still in production, reinforcing its long-running popularity.

STEC is a brand of automotive protection films used to shield a car’s paint from chips, scratches, and everyday wear. In this segment, the host specifically trusts STEC for paint protection film (PPF) on a Porsche.

The Porsche Carrera RS is a performance-focused 911 variant known for being lightweight and track-oriented compared to standard models. The podcast mentions trust in STEC for garage work and references a Carrera GT’s paint protection, which ties into how owners protect and maintain these cars. It’s brought up as part of the broader conversation about Porsche ownership and care.

The Porsche Carrera GT is a halo supercar built around a mid-engine layout and a naturally aspirated V10, which is why it’s so coveted by enthusiasts. In this segment, it’s used as an example of a high-end car that the host protects with paint protection film.

Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear, durable layer applied to a car’s painted surfaces to help prevent stone chips, light scratches, and other road damage. It’s commonly installed by professional shops and is often chosen for high-value cars.

Self-healing properties refer to PPF materials that can reduce the visibility of minor scratches or scuffs over time, typically when exposed to heat. This is a key selling point because it helps the film maintain a smoother, clearer look after daily driving.

Dino Shield technology is STEC’s specific PPF formulation, described here as being very clear and having self-healing behavior. The point is that different film products can vary in clarity, durability, and how well they “heal” minor marks.

Fashion films are decorative film overlays applied to a car to change its appearance—such as color shifts or a textured “carbon fiber” look—while still providing some level of surface protection. They’re positioned here as an option for changing the car’s look without giving up the protective benefits of film.

A hybrid V8 supercar combines a V8 engine with an electric motor/generator system to improve performance and/or efficiency. The “hybrid” part means the car can use electricity (and often blends power sources), while “V8” specifies the engine’s cylinder layout.

“Horse motors” appears to be the hosts’ shorthand for the powertrain supplier they’re referencing for the engine. In this context, it’s about where the hybrid V8 hardware is coming from, not about a generic type of motor.

The hosts describe “horse motors” as a Renault–Geely joint venture, meaning two automakers partnered to develop and supply components. Joint ventures are common in high-cost areas like advanced engines and hybrid systems.

The Lotus Emira is Lotus’s modern sports car, and it’s being used here as evidence about transmission availability. The hosts say it was announced moments before filming that the Emira won’t be offered with a manual, which directly answers the earlier question about whether the new Lotus hybrid V8 could be built with one.

Mercedes-AMG is the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, and “AMG” is commonly used to label engines and performance components developed or tuned by AMG. In this segment, the hosts mention a Mercedes-AMG turbocharged engine as the basis for the Emira’s new powertrain direction (though the transcript wording is a bit inconsistent).

A turbocharged “three-liter V6” is an engine with six cylinders arranged in a V shape, displacing about 3.0 liters total. “Turbo” means a turbocharger forces extra air into the engine, which can raise power without needing a larger naturally aspirated engine.

An automatic transmission shifts gears for you using hydraulics and electronic control, rather than requiring a clutch pedal and manual gear selection. In this context, it’s notable because the new engine is described as being paired only with an automatic.

CVT stands for continuously variable transmission, a gearbox that can smoothly change the gear ratio across a wide range rather than stepping through fixed gears. The hosts call it out because CVTs are often associated with a different driving feel than traditional multi-gear automatics—especially in performance cars.

A four-speed automatic transmission uses four fixed gear ratios that the car selects automatically. Compared with modern multi-speed automatics, fewer gears can mean the engine has to work harder to stay in the right RPM range.

A turbo V6 is a V6 engine that uses a turbocharger to force more air into the cylinders. That typically allows higher power output than a naturally aspirated V6 of similar size, while still using the V6’s packaging and smoothness.

Overdrive is a higher-ratio gear (or gear mode) that lets the engine spin more slowly at cruising speeds. It’s often used to reduce RPM, improve highway efficiency, and make long-distance driving feel less strained.

A V6 engine is an internal-combustion engine with six cylinders arranged in a “V” shape. In this segment, the hosts compare the Emira’s V6 to other V6 options on the market and discuss why buyers prefer it.

European emissions regulations are the rules the EU sets for how much pollution new cars can emit. When an engine doesn’t meet the latest limits, automakers may need redesign work (or discontinue the engine/variant) to stay compliant.

The segment raises the idea that meeting emissions regulations can be harder with a manual transmission. That’s because manuals and automatics can lead to different engine operating conditions (like RPM and load patterns), which can affect emissions results during regulatory testing.

A test cycle is the standardized driving and measurement procedure regulators use to determine a car’s emissions and fuel-economy results. The hosts are suggesting that the EU’s test cycle could interact differently with manual vs automatic transmissions, affecting whether a configuration can pass.

“Manual cars” here means vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, where the driver selects gears with a clutch and gear lever. The discussion is about how automakers may limit engine/gearbox combinations for manuals because adding new engines can require engineering work for the transmission and related hardware.

The Lotus Amira is a modern Lotus model that’s being discussed here specifically in terms of its gearbox choice. The hosts contrast manual versions (which enthusiasts typically prefer) with an automatic “four-speed” version, implying the automatic variant will be less desirable in the used market.

The Jaguar XJS is being used as a comparison point for how a “four-speed auto” can hurt desirability. The speaker’s point is that when an enthusiast-oriented model is paired with an older-feeling automatic transmission, the market can sour over time.

The Lotus Evora is a mid-engine sports car from Lotus, known for its lightweight feel and sharp handling. In this segment, it’s used as a pricing example—Doug notes that Evora prices are still around the $60k range.

A “four-cylinder” engine has four cylinders that work together to produce power. Here, the hosts compare a four-cylinder automatic setup to a “Supercharged V6,” noting they make the same horsepower despite being different engine configurations.

A “Supercharged V6” is a six-cylinder engine with a supercharger, which forces more air into the engine to increase power. The hosts use it as the benchmark for comparison, saying the four-cylinder automatic has the same horsepower as this supercharged V6.

Depreciation is how much a car’s value drops over time. In enthusiast circles, people watch depreciation because it affects whether a car holds its value as supply, demand, and condition change.

The Lotus Elise is a lightweight, mid-engine sports car known for sharp handling and a driver-focused layout. The “SC” on the Lotus Elise SC refers to a supercharged setup, which changes how it makes power compared with the naturally aspirated Elise variants.

Mileage is the total distance a car has been driven, typically measured in miles or kilometers. Lower mileage often matters to buyers because it can correlate with less wear, though condition and service history still matter a lot.

In automotive terms, a “paint color” can refer not just to the shade, but also to the specific finish and how it’s formulated to look different under various lighting angles. The segment treats the color choice as a notable styling detail worth comparing across brands.

Mercedes-Benz Maibach is referenced as a person/role associated with Mercedes-Benz, specifically in the context of offering a paint color. The name is used like a brand insider who would choose or approve exterior color options.

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is a full-size luxury SUV aimed at buyers who want maximum space and comfort. The podcast mentions it in the context of the full-size SUV segment and notes it “came out in 20,” referring to its introduction timeframe. It’s brought up as part of the discussion about large luxury vehicles.

The Lamborghini Urus is a high-performance luxury SUV built by Lamborghini, combining supercar-level performance with SUV practicality. The podcast mentions “Urus Plus” and suggests it’s unlikely, which indicates they’re discussing potential future variants or rumors. It’s relevant because the Urus is a major modern Lamborghini product that expanded the brand into SUVs.

“Quattro” refers to Audi’s all-wheel-drive system, and the podcast mentions it as a message shown during braking. That’s significant because it highlights how the car’s drivetrain and stability systems communicate their behavior to the driver. In the episode, it’s used as a small detail from a recent driving experience.

The Audi Q5 is a compact luxury SUV, and “Quattro” refers to Audi’s all-wheel-drive system branding. In this segment, the hosts point out a specific design detail on the Audi Q5 Quattro: the brake-light graphic/wording that reflects onto the rear glass when you brake.

Stalantas appears to be a misspoken reference to Stellantis, the multinational automaker behind brands like Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram. In this segment, the host is discussing Stellantis’ strategy to bring a very low-priced car to market.

The Dodge Dart is a compact car from Dodge that became known for specific powertrain problems in some years. In this segment, the hosts mention the Dart’s engine and transmission having “blow up” issues, and they also reference a version with a 2.4-liter turbo and a 6-speed manual.

A “2.4 liter turbo” refers to a 2.4-liter engine that uses a turbocharger to force more air into the cylinders. That typically allows a smaller engine to make more power than it would naturally aspirated.

“16 manual” is almost certainly a transcription error for a 6-speed manual gearbox. A manual transmission lets the driver select gears directly, usually via a clutch pedal and a shift lever.

The Toyota Corolla is a long-running compact car line known for being practical and widely sold across many markets. In the podcast, it’s brought up in a historical context—comparing older models and noting how many of them exist. That “20 million” type of remark is about how common certain Corolla-era cars are.

“Stalantis” appears to be a misspelling of Stellantis, the automaker formed from a merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA. The hosts are discussing whether Stellantis builds durable cars and how its powertrains compare to other brands.

“Hurricane” refers to a specific engine family: a straight-six (inline-six) used across Stellantis brands. In this segment, they’re describing it as supercharged and discussing its power output targets.

The Toyota Grand Highlander is a larger, family-oriented version of the Highlander, aimed at buyers who need more space.

That makes it relevant as a mainstream SUV trying to compete in the premium end of the market.

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a large, upscale SUV positioned at the premium end of the market. The podcast mentions it with a focus on its high price—“trying to sell $100,000”—which highlights how it competes as a luxury alternative rather than a budget SUV. It’s brought up as an example of Jeep’s move into more expensive territory.

An extended-range EV is an electric vehicle that can travel farther than a typical battery-only EV by using an additional onboard power source. In practice, this often means a battery plus an engine/generator setup that helps keep the car moving when the battery is depleted.

A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is a hybrid vehicle that can be charged from an external power source, not just generated by the engine. That lets it run on electricity for some distance, then switch to hybrid operation when the battery is depleted.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xE is a plug-in hybrid SUV that pairs Jeep’s four-wheel-drive capability with an electrified powertrain. It’s discussed here as part of a lineup that brought plug-in hybrid tech to non-luxury, mainstream SUVs.
