Why is your copy late?
From Mr. I. Evelyn.
I'm not sure, I'm just getting a sense it's directed in that direction.
I think it's possible, I think that's brilliant in the workplace, isn't it?
Hello and welcome to a special Q&A episode of the Eva podcast.
I'm here with James Taylor, Sam Jenkins, Dicky Meadon.
And you guys have been sending in your questions through social media.
We've got some here and we're going to answer them all for you.
So, James, what have we got?
What have we got to begin with?
The first question we were sent was from 89DM5.
Yeah, it sounds like a lovely chap.
So his question is, I've got a Mark 7.5 Volkswagen Golf R.
Should I change it to an M140i?
No.
I guess it depends if you're going to do anything to the 140, isn't it?
Yeah.
You can, because you can make them better quite easily, can't you?
Yeah, it's birds and pussies like that.
Yeah, I think it depends how you're going to drive it as well.
If it's more like a long distance car, I think that straight six is quite nice.
And it gives a nice, a really nice character.
If you're going to drive it quickly, I think the Mark 7.5 R is a really polished car.
And it's not as lairy, but.
But yeah, maybe if you've not driven a rear wheel drive car before.
Yeah, maybe you want to learn different.
Learn with a 300 horsepower plus turbo chance.
It is still the only rear wheel drive, you know, hot hatch.
Yeah, yeah, there are no other cars like that.
A unique flavor, I think has an overall all rounder.
The the Golf R is probably the better car for more implications.
And Mark 7.5 was a pretty high sweet spot, isn't it?
But yeah, I think if you feel you've been there and done that.
Yeah, it's a different flavor.
It will be something different.
Yeah, it's a great engine and robot drivers always nice.
And you can always go back.
Yeah, you decide you don't like it.
But I think you need to try these things, don't you?
Yeah, yeah.
So in summary, yes, go for it.
Yeah, yes, but also no.
That's the kind of info people come to me about.
Well, what's next?
We've got a question from the the UK Car Magazine's Instagram account.
Really nice guy who came to see us when we did a live podcast.
Little one and he asks if you could rerun a previous Evo group test today.
What would you choose?
Wow.
Remember the kind of greatest Ferrari test?
I was thinking the exact same one.
Yeah, yeah, that would be timely, wouldn't it?
Because we can drop the.
Well, that was that stopped with the end, though, actually.
Yeah, dead.
Yeah.
We could add LaFerrari and F80 into that.
Yeah, that would be pretty cool.
That would be awesome.
Also, the V12 Lamborghinis, because there was Kuntas up to Aventador a few years ago.
We could do it again with the River Alto.
Would be very.
Yeah, I don't think of any other, like, slightly more left field one.
For me, it'd be, I think it was called The Incredibles.
With the Veyron, Enzo, Coro GT and Azonda.
Was that the one where Harry convinced Bugatti they were potential customers coming to look at the car?
Yeah, there was some sort of Harry, scammy Harry, kind of slight fib.
Yeah, yeah, that's the first group test I'd ever read, I think, an EVO one.
I was seven, so I probably didn't read it in much detail.
Just looking at the pictures.
Disagree, very, you know, strongly.
Yeah, a few car leaders I'd like to do again.
Oh, yeah.
First one would be nice, actually.
I go back and do those kind of.
We covered some of those in the years test anyway.
What else? We did a 9-Eleven's.
Oh, yeah, all the.
One around, what would it be?
996 GT2, I think, was the trigger for that.
And then we got everything back to 2.7 RS and everything in between.
I mean, it'd be about 60 cars now if you had all the GT3 and RSs.
But there'd be some Caymans and boxes and things to throw in there as well,
wouldn't there? Yeah, we've done so much stuff, haven't we?
There'll be some awesome things.
There's the wall behind us.
Oh, yeah, looking at our travels for Asia.
Yeah, well, there's a few people there.
There's one here from a chap called, I think it's Ev or Evie.
Why is your copy late?
From Mr. I. Everly, an EVO managing editor.
I'm just getting a sense it's directed in that direction.
I think that's brilliant in the workplace, isn't it?
I get HR on swim.
Yeah.
I think he knows where my copy's late.
That's because you're doing really another group test.
Well, one question we've had from Francisco Amaral
is what's the one car you think has gone under the radar
but deserves to be praised?
That's a tricky one.
Elise S1.
Nobody ever says that's any good.
Just looking at it's more about it, do you know?
Terrible reviews across the board.
Everyone's missed the trick.
There's loads out there, aren't there?
There's loads of them.
One that pops into my head is
a few years ago, I drove the Mugen version
of the Honda Civic Type R.
So this was the FN2 shape, the one that's kind of shaped like a rocket ship.
Yeah.
And a really revvy engine and quite an aggressive diff.
And it was a really keen handling car, that's some...
Because that wasn't that well-received, was it?
The standard FN2.
No, I think it was very rare and very expensive, I think,
which obviously limits these things.
The Mugen one, yeah.
Yeah, and it was a special, it might have been an import only, I can't remember.
They did do a championship white version of that,
which, A, looked great because it looked like the equivalent NSX R.
Yeah.
But that had a diff, which changed the car quite a lot, actually.
But otherwise, it was standard, so far as I'm aware.
That was really impressive, notably better than the standard one.
But they didn't make it for very long.
I think it was probably towards the end of that car's life.
Worth looking in the classifiers for.
Yeah.
And higher end, I mean, the last podcast we recorded,
we were talking about the latest Evora in the test of the six cylinder cars.
I think the Evora 400, the first one, when they kind of heavily updated it and gave it,
I don't know, it's quite as pretty as the earlier cars.
They gave it a bit of a facelift, but I think that was a really great.
Yeah.
That one, and I think it's forgotten a little bit.
Probably because there's so many versions of that.
Yeah.
That the water's got muddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like, which one is the 400?
Yeah.
What about you, Sam?
I was thinking, I think based on our era of 2010's test, the six of the S.
Hmm, yeah.
It's quite underappreciated.
That's a good point, that's a good shout.
Because they're very, what I say, affordable.
They're cheap for what they are, and that car is just, I didn't actually drive it.
No, but I spent a good amount of time in it, and it's just a fantastic thing.
It sounds amazing, which is not what the reviews at the time said.
Yeah.
I think that might be...
I think the churn rate with those cars as well is much greater, isn't it, than it used to be.
It is, yeah.
That model would have been in production for five or ten years, probably, a few generations ago,
but now it quickly gets superseded by the next thing.
I don't know, I think there's a spoke about a Z4 M, Coupe in previous podcasts,
but probably the three-litre, non-M, Coupe is the sweeter car.
I think it probably rides better and maybe is a bit more playful,
so maybe more of what you'd expect the M Coupe to be.
Obviously, it doesn't have the same engine, but they'd be for nothing now.
And they're still quite exotic little cars.
Yeah, I think their styling is aged well, too.
They're quite good looking things, and then sort of really high-end stuff.
I think you mentioned the Lamborghini, later, Lamborghini Huracans.
Yeah.
That car evolved quite a bit over its life.
I think so.
I think the early cars, from what I've read, didn't quite hit the spot in some ways.
They seemed like they were quite inert and not very driver-focused.
Yeah, and the seats were really uncomfortable, and they just didn't.
They weren't as...
They made them so much better.
But I think it benefited from being in production for 15 years or have a lot of it around for.
I think the engineers got to do all the things they really wanted to do,
and then they continued to refine them after that,
because they needed to stay in production for a bit.
So I think probably from the Evo.
Yeah, the Evo.
Yeah, the Evo STO.
Perfomante was a step, wasn't it?
But I think the Evo was actually quite subtle, if you can have such a thing in a Lamborghini.
And that turned into the Technico, which you and I drove on the stove in the past.
The Technico was like the best of STO and the Evo.
In fact, there it is on the wall behind us.
Yes.
That's probably going to be one pixel on the video.
Yes, two, or off the frame.
Yeah, yeah.
But no, that car, I mean, I've lived with the Technico for a little bit last year,
and I think it's still one of the best supercars I've driven,
just because it's got obviously the noise and everything,
which we know from the original Huracan, but so exploitable, so friendly.
And it's kind of everything you would dream a Lamborghini would drive like.
There are not really any compromises in it.
I think the early cars probably color everybody's perception of the Huracan.
But they did do a lot of work to turn that around.
And then it was an amazing car.
I think Lamborghini is a quite tough anyway, aren't they?
Because the the sort of perception of them
is really Larry and ridiculously loud aftermarket exhausts
and a particular sort of owner, maybe, or Gumball spec.
Usage, which isn't for everyone, is it?
And Ferrari's are a bit more cultured.
And refined and but those late Huracans were really refined.
And, you know, they came, they didn't all come in Larry colors
and they didn't all come with really obvious wheel choices and stuff.
So they can be quite discreet things.
And the driving experience is much more refined, I think, than it used to be.
I think it's sister car.
The R8 maybe gets forgotten a little bit later
because we all loved the earlier.
Well, again, the second gen cars initially didn't steer particularly well.
They're that weird dynamic steering, which felt horrible.
And you could get a manual and, you know, all the things and V10 only as well.
So I think that maybe they left a few people behind with that change,
but they got better.
They got more tactile as they evolved.
It's an older Lamborghinis.
My favorite car grown up was Lamborghini Countache
and everything I'd ever read about it
suggested it would be awful to drive.
Yeah, basically, un-driveable, but they're not, are they?
Yeah, two legs with a clutch pedal and, you know,
I was really lucky to drive one.
It was on a track.
It wasn't on the road for a magazine story a few years ago.
And I thought it was brilliant.
Yeah, I was really.
What gen was it? Was it like an early?
I'm going to butcher the Italian pronunciation now.
It was a crotch of alveoli.
OK, it was one of the latest.
So like Harri's, I think.
I think his is the QV.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it was and was red as well.
OK, so yeah, I thought it was brilliant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the track's probably not its natural habitat.
I know a lot of motorsport is in the chassis and everything, but.
Yeah, I mean, it felt very.
You could tell all the weight was behind you.
Yeah, but you weren't.
I think they're unwieldy at lower speeds.
Yeah, I think it comes a bit like Harry's,
Tester Ross, or was you wouldn't want to be a stop start traffic in them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Actually, it's things to drive.
They're much sweeter than you.
Yeah, I'm sure for treasure in urban traffic jams
and a heat wave or something like compared to a Diablo without power steering.
Yeah, they were.
I think they were much harder to drive than I couldn't touch.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, it's a tricky question to answer that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's a good it makes you go off in different.
Yeah, yeah.
Different direction.
It feels weird to say Lamborghini's gone under the radar.
But yeah, kind of like the perception of the car,
I think is different to the reality with some of them.
What have you got up next, James?
Next question on the list is it's from two Bob billionaire who says.
I should probably looked up people's real names.
Yeah, yeah, there are going to be some dodgy ones.
Hugh Janus type name for them.
Excellent.
So he says Porsche Cayman are ten years on.
Is it a genuinely special performance car?
Or is it actually nothing to shout about?
I've never driven.
I haven't even driven one briefly.
I thought it was pretty great.
Yeah, spent some time.
I think they got overshadowed by the spider box.
The spider.
That was the more special of the two.
I think so.
The attention went into those because it was so much lighter.
And yeah, yeah, totally different.
Not totally different driving experience,
but very different to a regular Boxster.
You know, maybe the R wasn't quite such a step from a regular Cayman.
But they they were still thoughtful cars with quite a lot of detail changes.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I think it's more like a GTS than a pro.
Yeah, maybe I think, yeah, it wasn't.
I think maybe the using the R name maybe set an expectation
and couldn't deliver on because it wasn't it wasn't that aggressive.
But it's definitely and you could use one every day.
Can you use?
Yeah, I think they're rare special occasions only.
They're rare things, aren't they?
So you very rarely see them.
And I think most most Porsches have the values of them
have continued to go up and up and up and up.
And what an R is what's an R?
Forty over 40, I think.
Forty years, thousand.
Yeah. So that's quite a special car for the money, isn't it?
It is. Yeah.
We saw one recently.
Actually, we were on a photo shoot recently and a Cayman R came past.
And yeah, just turned up.
I said the green color.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a gold.
Really cool.
Um, then we also had a question
asking with the evolution of hybrid hypercars,
do you see the V6 or V8 being the go to platform?
I mean, it kind of feels like the V6 is already.
It's already taking over. Yeah, I think it is.
Yeah, I suppose you've got the V8 with the Hala, haven't we?
Yeah, I know that's the W1 as well.
They're kind of a step up, aren't they?
Really?
There are a few V12s hanging around there.
Yeah, like the really low volume bespoke stuff.
Yeah. I think the other thing is, I'm not sure with the hypercars,
but the V8s that I've driven in modern performance cars lately,
they haven't really had the character that you want from a V8.
They've been so suppressed and they sound, yeah,
and they sound quite synthesized, but I don't think it's a massive step down
to go to a V6 in a way, because it's not.
You don't get like the big banger V8 feel from a lot of these cars.
Yeah. So I think V6s tend to be more interesting,
don't they? Sound wise.
Yeah, the V6 Ferrari sounds great, I think.
Yeah. Prada Bohema.
Yeah.
I mean, Arturo is a bit muted, isn't it?
But I still think the engine's quite nice in there.
Yeah, the way it delivers the power on the torque is really cool.
So I think that's another potentially underrated car, isn't it?
I think it is, yeah, massively.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's never really got the attention it deserved at it,
because it had so many full starts when it was launched.
And then it was heavily revised.
At the point everyone thought it was.
It was like a sort of second gen car when it was when it was properly
launched. They shouted enough.
No, actually, the changes they made to it is when they brought the spider out,
it was almost like a midlife facelift for a car that had been on.
So then it's not really had the opportunity for any more aggressive versions
of that car. Yeah, it has a long tail version.
No, so I think we've probably been denied.
I've only driven the facelifted one, but you said
that you prefer the pre-facelifted one.
I think so, too.
I think if you're pushing really hard, I think actually the new one to me
feels a bit spikier than the old one.
But maybe that might just be me and my sister.
We had because we had an early one on car the year a few years ago, didn't we?
Three years ago. Yeah.
And I really like it.
Just if it had a bit more.
Bit more kind of an exciting soundtrack.
Yeah, it felt like it was being held back slightly, like they were waiting
for the LT in the powertrain that I thought.
But it's very rounded.
It's very useful. It is.
It's a real sort of all scenarios car.
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaking of V8s, somebody's been in touch with the the burning consumer
question, car buying question and everybody's lips.
SR 65 Black Series or SLS Black Series?
SLS. Well, I think the SLS is.
It was a really convincing black series, actually.
The other black series cars I've driven haven't.
Been, I don't know.
They don't really step up to where you think they should as a GT3
or RS type car.
They still seem quite traction limited or gearbox isn't that great.
But the black series seemed to have.
It was much closer to the.
It seems crazy that they race those in GT3.
Yeah, but it felt a very kind of direct relative.
Yeah. Of that car, whereas the 65.
It's a weird engine for a car.
It was more like a kind of rest of mod, a bit more aftermarket that car.
Yeah, they look amazing.
Yeah, the safety car for a bit.
Wasn't it? The 65 Black might have been a 63.
Yeah, with the hard top.
I think it was in like a weight.
Yeah, possibly. Right. Yes.
I should now interview the driver.
But I landed recently for an interview in Evo, which I haven't written it yet.
That's why I can't remember.
I think all. Yeah.
All SLSs are a bit overlooked.
It goes back to the kind of.
That was all my best.
As Gullwing sort of super GT cars go, it is.
I'm sure the black series are funnily enough.
They're not on my regular classified troll list.
I'm sure they're big money.
And I think the regular SLSs are going up now, aren't they?
But I think they were last time I checked about 120 grand for a roadster.
Roasters are 100. Roasters are less than what seems like a head of a lot of car.
Like a race car. Pointless, isn't it?
Because the thing you want of the you don't get the rest of the car.
Just give you the doors in the coupes.
It just under 200. Wow.
OK, it feels pretty good for that car.
It's quite special things.
And they are very special.
What else have we got?
One more question on the shortlist that we've got in front of us.
And it's the question is, for a first time Porsche buyer,
with a 35 K budget, what would you go for?
What would you advise?
Well, we've got no way to go out, haven't you?
Actually, there.
Yeah, I mean, obvious one, nine, nine, seven.
Yeah, career or S was a pretty nice one on the 2000s.
Here is Towson.
Good one for that sort of money.
I think if you want something usable and a bit more modern,
maybe the 981 Gen Boxster or Cayman.
I think that would be a really sweet car.
Yeah, maintenance wise as well.
With that sort of budget, I think that makes a little more sense.
Yeah, you've got some fairly decent tech in there as well.
Yeah, and the engines all made of chocolate.
But they've all been the thing with the engines is they've all been done.
Yeah, most of them have been done.
So it was a thing.
But if if they haven't been done and they haven't.
They'll be cheap on those things themselves.
Yeah, then they're not going to and all the ones that have have been done.
So I think you almost part that thing.
I think that we had there was a particularly good 996 C4S
on the Porsche GB press fleet that was a weird spec.
I think it had mo 30 suspension and a half cage or something.
It was and I think it was Andrew Davies.
He used to be the PR man, kind of.
He'd obviously had a couple of glasses of wine when he spec'd everything.
But it was everyone loved that car.
It was so good.
It was like a sort of like a GT3 light.
Yeah, almost GT3 touring.
But back. Yeah.
But those those cars were really good.
There was just something like you wouldn't normally
gravitate towards a four wheel drive 911.
But that those cars and that one in particular, yeah, was really good.
So I think if you've if you've got that kind of money,
you've got the budget to maybe look for something quite specific
that's going to have a premium either, because it's in a good color
or it's got some unusual factory options on it.
I'm just thinking 996 turbo.
It's still a problem to get one.
I was thinking turbo 35 Metzger engine.
He'd have to be brave.
That would be a brave change.
They're not going to be cheap things to look after.
Even if it doesn't go wrong, you need a big budget.
But yeah, you can go anything really.
You can't you can't get an air cooled car for that money anymore.
I don't think maybe Aston's 993.
Well, yeah, because he's mucked about with it.
He's devalued it so greatly.
He's going to suddenly cut us off now.
There's a podcast in.
Right, that's it.
Pull the plug out.
But yeah, that's pretty unusual, isn't it?
For that sort of budget, you could get anything made in the last 20, 25 years.
Couldn't you? Whether it's a box to Cayman.
Yeah.
Crikey could have a Cayenne turbo or something.
You could find an old manual one.
Yeah, so I mean, but yeah, I think.
Yeah, I think maybe a 997.
Kroger S or a 981.
Yeah, that's a safe options on the depends if again,
depends if you want to tweak it at all, doesn't it?
If you if you had some budget to buy one and then do a few tweaks
or if you just want a really the freshest version of which factory car,
maybe for a first time owner, you might want to start with something a bit newer
and have a bit set aside for some maintenance.
Yeah, yeah.
It's okay.
Yeah, you'd have a great time in a Cayman or a box.
I think so. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And with the two boots, they're really usable as well.
Yeah, yeah, you could you could use it as a daily daily driver.
Good question.
That one.
Cool. Yeah.
Well, they've got any more of we know that's it for the shortlist for this one.
But we have some emails from we have about that.
It was about the year.
Yeah, you might remember a few podcasts ago.
We we wrapped up our era series and we we asked you guys at home
to write in with your nominations for your favorite Evo eras.
And actually, we settled on the 2010s in the end,
after a lot of the 90s, 40s and 90s.
It was a split decision on points.
But funnily enough, the 2010s has also been the the decade that
that of the emails we've had.
That's only because the ones that love the 80s and 90s are too old to work email.
And they're not on social media.
That's all.
Your your words not.
Only speaking from experience.
But yeah, we've we've had a few.
The 10s definitely resonated most, didn't they?
Yeah, they were surprisingly good.
And it was a surprise.
I think that was the one thing we all thought would be noughties or 90s.
Yeah.
But yeah, we've had Sam Russell has written in and said,
I think if push came to shove, I'd probably have to say 2010s as peak car.
But I would really like to extend that to a 15 year window of 2005 to 2020.
I wonder why.
Might be because he was one of the owners of the cars in the the noughties.
From 2005.
Yes.
Yeah, we also had an email
from Neil Parr.
Apologies if I'm pronouncing your name completely wrong.
But he went for the 2010s as well.
And he particularly nominated the Fiesta ST 2013.
But so to break this T-dicky, he says, but not the ST 200 version.
He says, you don't need the standard of Mark 7 ST.
You don't really need the ST 200 version to reach the thrills.
But he also goes on to mention another reason that was such a great decade.
There was so many other cars like the Aframeo Giulia,
whether it's the the Quadrifoglio or the regular version
and also the previous gen Civic Type R and the 2.3 liter Focus RS.
Three to the Ferrari 458.
It was a pretty, pretty good era for all the owners of cars.
Yeah.
And Philip Collier wrote in to say, having lived and worked
retailing new cars throughout the whole 80s to the 2010s
and therefore been trained in all the tech that was added decade on decade.
I would agree with Youssef.
He says the 2010s was the best.
And Pepi Gutierrez echoes those thoughts as well.
He said either 2000s or 2010s, brilliant cars, but not overloaded with too much tech
and not too digitally detached.
I think I'll keep my E-65 series and E-89Z4 forever.
Yeah, fair enough.
Cool, very wise.
Yeah, thanks to everybody for writing in with all your correspondence.
And you can still send in some questions for us on our social media as well.
Yeah, thanks for sending them across.
And we'll catch you on the next one.
Yeah, thanks for.
Thank you, cheers.
