I'm Hannah Elliott.
01:18
And I'm Matt Miller, and this is Hot Pursuit.
01:27
Coming up on today's podcast, we hear from the Duke of Richmond, formerly the Earl of March,
01:36
about what has become probably the most important car show in the world.
01:41
I had the idea of the Festival Speed and started that in 93.
01:45
You know, much to our surprise, you know, we were told a couple of thousands.
01:47
People might turn up 25,000 people bowled up that first morning,
01:51
and the thing from then on, we had called for a million this year come.
01:54
It was a big thing.
01:55
Plus my experience driving a BMW M4 CS and Hannah's latest car review of a Maybach.
02:04
I can't wait to talk about all of that coming up on the show, but before we get to your BMW, Matt,
02:09
we have to talk about the astronomical cost of the average car.
02:13
It's actually apropos of your, I think, Mercedes Maybach review, right?
02:19
We're talking about prices, and the M4 isn't cheap, but what you drove is incredibly
02:25
What I drove is very expensive.
02:26
It's about $225,000.
02:30
That's if you buy it outright.
02:32
This story that you actually brought to my attention, Matt, by Jay Thomas and Keith
02:38
Norton, some of our best reporters.
02:40
The story says that actually seven-year car loans are fast becoming the norm.
02:43
They're often the only way that buyers can afford new rides,
02:47
with average sale prices surging 28% in five years to approach $50,000.
02:53
So that's the average price for a car now.
02:56
What you and I drive, obviously, is often far more expensive to that.
03:00
In fact, we rarely drive anything that's $50,000.
03:04
But it's still a very high price for the average car.
03:08
That's for every normal person, right?
03:11
Even people who don't care about cars.
03:13
And basically, compared to a five-year loan, that is the difference between
03:17
a $1,000 monthly payment and basically a $780 monthly payment.
03:23
So that's a lot per month.
03:26
Hey, you can cut your monthly payment 22% if you take the loan out to seven years.
03:31
But the other factor is then you end up paying a ton more money in interest.
03:36
So then your $50,000 car loan, which normally would be $65,000 total payment
03:44
all in, becomes like a $75,000 total car payment all in.
03:48
So we had written a story last year about how new cars have gotten so expensive that even
03:56
rich people, essentially, we interviewed a doctor in Miami, were buying used cars.
04:02
Because this guy was like, yo, I was going to get a new lease of the same Mercedes that I
04:08
But it was so expensive that now I'm looking at a used car instead.
04:13
Yeah, I mean, I think the point is like, people aren't stupid when you actually
04:17
add up the numbers and you realize how expensive it is now over the long term,
04:22
even if your monthly payment is lower.
04:24
It just feels dumb to be spending that much money, even if you can't afford it.
04:29
You know, you want to make a good decision.
04:30
And if you know the minute this car leaves the dealer's lot, it's going to drop
04:35
precipitously in value.
04:37
You might as well just get one that's like a year old.
04:39
It's actually a great argument for buying used cars to begin with,
04:42
even if you are a wealthy person who can afford that kind of depreciation.
04:46
I often think about, you know, what I would do if I'd bought a lot of Bitcoin 10 years ago,
04:53
or, you know, if I'd invested in Tesla's IPO, or if I had known about NVIDIA's
04:59
And I always think like, oh, it'd be cool to buy, you know, a Range Rover and a
05:06
supercharged Escalade V.
05:08
Just to see which one's better to live with.
05:10
Like if you had the money, why not, you know, own both of them?
05:14
And even when I'm sort of daydreaming about this, I still buy used.
05:19
Because even in my daydreams, I don't want the kind of depreciation you get hit with
05:23
if you buy a new Range Rover.
05:25
Completely, completely, completely agree.
05:27
I mean, I've talked about this before like ad nauseam.
05:30
I think if you really want to like start saving the world, stop buying new cars,
05:34
which is ironic considering the line of work we're in.
05:38
My question is how do you feel about leasing versus like taking a loan out to buy a car?
05:44
I mean, I've been thinking about this ever since I understood the concept of leasing,
05:49
And I think, you know, financial news journalists and, you know, sort of
05:57
self-help gurus have been debating this also for the last 20 years.
06:01
But it really depends on who you are, on what you want to do,
06:05
on what you want out of the car.
06:06
And now with EVs, there's a whole new variable, right?
06:09
So I would probably lease an EV, whereas a lot of internal combustion engines I would buy.
06:18
Because I don't yet see an EV as a forever car, whereas like my Dodge Challenger,
06:23
I can keep forever.
06:25
I'm always going to love it even as I buy new cars.
06:28
But if I got like a Rivian, for example, I would want to upgrade that every few years
06:34
because they're never going to get better than a 6.4-liter Hemi, right?
06:38
But it is going to get better than whatever battery pack and electric motor you have now.
06:42
The rate of advancement, I mean, it's like an iPhone.
06:45
Like I could lease my iPhone.
06:47
It really wouldn't matter.
06:48
It would be all the same to me in the end.
06:50
And that's kind of how I see the EVs especially, too.
06:53
By the way, let's get to the BMW I was driving.
06:56
Because this is, I think, a great example of the inline six that BMW makes.
07:03
They have pretty much perfected it.
07:05
And it's in the whole range of their performance cars, right?
07:10
From the M2 up to, well, certainly the M4 that I drove.
07:16
The power differences made by bigger turbochargers or like an electric assist.
07:21
And speaking of a forever car and kind of reaching the pinnacle of development on ICE,
07:27
when we come back, we're going to talk about the BMW that I drove
07:32
with its inimitable inline six, the M4 CS.
07:37
That's up next on Bloomberg Hot Pursuit after this.
07:42

08:53
All right. So I drove this BMW M4 CS. It's kind of the top-of-the-line performance sports car
09:05
from BMW. I mean, I don't think that you're going to go to an M8, right? That's more of a GT car.
09:13
And personally, I kept thinking the whole time I would go with an M2,
09:17
but it's obviously a much smaller and more economical package.
09:21
This thing was absolutely filthy in every sense of the word except for dirty. It wasn't,
09:26
there was a speck of dust on it. It was a gorgeous green color and they have a number of
09:32
awesome green tones. It's one of my favorite colors for a car, so that's very cool.
09:36
But it had tons of exposed carbon fiber. It's a super complex, polarizing design. So everybody
09:42
who saw it on the street and everybody who passed me on the highway had something to say
09:46
about it. Oh, really? Now, did this have the two-tone hood like the black straw? Oh, it did.
09:52
And it has, of course, the huge beaver tooth grill, which we know is very polarizing.
09:57
I mean, I hated it when it first came out and now I love it.
09:59
You can't see it when you're behind the wheel anyway. So honestly,
10:02
it doesn't matter if the car drives great, maybe not.
10:04
Well, I mean, you can't unsee it after you have. But I think like much of BMW's design,
10:11
when you first see it, you don't like it at all. I think the majority of people don't like
10:15
it. It's kind of brutal. A new BMW. And then over time, you grow to love it or you get used to it,
10:21
whichever it is. Yeah. I was just going to say, are you saying this is like a perfect daily driver?
10:28
No, not at all. Not at all. In fact, so I have the car for a week, right? And the first
10:36
three or four days, I'm thinking, this car is, honestly, it's too fast. It's like scary
10:41
fast. Come now. I know. It's too fast. It's only got a 543 horsepower motor, but
10:47
the way it feels is a little bit dangerous. It's still the inline six, which is why I say it's
10:57
a forever car kind of engine, but they put bigger turbochargers on it and it's all-wheel-drive.
11:04
Now, all-wheel-drive, but isn't there a rear-wheel-drive mode?
11:09
Yes. That you can activate rear-wheel in that? Yeah. You can put it into rear-wheel-bios.
11:13
Which is even scarier. Yeah, because you have to turn off basically the traction control. Sure.
11:19
But even with the traction control on and in all-wheel-drive mode, it just feels,
11:26
it's so fast. It's so quick and it's like so brutal and loud as well. All right. Let's get
11:33
to the Maybach now, because so this is so cool. You drove, I think, the most luxurious version of
11:42
Mercedes SL cabriolet, the Sport Leist cabriolet. And I happened to, this was not planned, drive,
11:52
I think, the Sportius version. I drove the AMG version. So tell us first about your Maybach.
11:58
Starting with the price. Sure. This is the 2026 Mercedes Maybach SL680. It's a convertible. The
12:07
starting price is $224,900. And basically, this is a Maybach based on the SL, the new Mercedes SL.
12:21
It's the first two-seater that Maybach has ever done. And, you know, Mercedes says they did
12:26
it to try to appeal to younger owners. So this is a very expensive car. It's basically an AMG SL63,
12:33
but with a Maybach treatment on top of it. What does that Maybach treatment look like?
12:38
It looks like a lot of logos everywhere on the car. On the, they're like these embossed,
12:43
you know, basically they look like they're stamped on like a Louis Vuitton bag. Maybach
12:49
logos all over the hood, all over the soft top, all over the inside of the doors.
12:54
Plus the interior is bright white. The car is too, it currently comes standard in two,
13:00
only two colorways. You can get black and red or black and white. There are other optional colors
13:06
that have been added since the debut, but those are the standard colors right now.
13:11
It comes with some new monoblock wheels, 21 inch. So the changes to this particular car are not
13:19
performance related. They're aesthetics and cosmetics related, basically.
13:25
And we've been talking about like Beamer Bros. For instance, I will also say there's a very
13:30
large element of people who love how this car looked. Of course, when I saw it, I slightly
13:37
cringe because it's a lot of chrome. It's a lot of everything. Like you don't need
13:43
everything. You could just have one element and leave the body of the cars really beautiful,
13:49
I think. And you don't need everything. You don't need the wheels and the two tone and the stamping
13:55
and the chrome and all this stuff. You could just like have one. But that said, as I drove this
14:02
car from Los Angeles to Carmel and didn't receive any speeding tickets, thank you very much.
14:07
People loved it. And it might have been a little like how you were with the M4.
14:12
Everyone wanted to talk about it. Everyone wanted to see it. Probably the people who didn't like it
14:17
just kept their mouth shut because everybody who came up to me loved it and wanted to know all
14:23
about it. And I like that. I mean, I love the color of the vehicle. You drove the red one,
14:28
right? I love that red color. It's like a Claret almost. The monoblock wheels on the
14:34
car that you drove are too much. I mean, they're pretty ridiculous. I have to say,
14:39
actually, I weirdly like them. I would, I would weirdly get that car in like a midnight below.
14:45
And I would possibly keep the wheels just to be bratty. They make they're kind of cool. They make
14:50
another wheel, which I think looks far better. They do. The spoke, like multi spokes. But
14:55
and the the the the logos, I mean, the whole like Louis Vuitton, the giant polo player or
15:02
whatever, like I'm not down to clown with that. It's too much. It's too much, but
15:08
it's weird because there's a certain element that love it. And Mercedes knows this.
15:17
And I do believe they're selling. They are going to start deliveries later this year.
15:24
They're on sale now. I will say the white interior, like unequivocally, I don't know why
15:30
anybody would get that unless you unless you plan to park the car and never drive it.
15:35
You I couldn't keep it clean for a week. I put it. I literally put a towel in the footwell.
15:41
So my boots wouldn't get the white carpeting. Yeah. I mean, if you have that much money,
15:46
it's a $225,000 car. And yeah, if you have that kind of cash, I guess you can have it
15:53
cleaned regularly. But I don't think it's about the cash. It's about the time lost
15:57
while the car is being cleaned. You know, okay, like, but you have somebody that does
16:01
it for you. So unplanned, I drove the sportiest version of this SL super leished or sport leished,
16:08
whatever. Cabriolet from Mercedes. I drove the AMG SL 63 SE performance version,
16:15
which is the same price as the Maibach that you drove. Mine was 224,800. So still unaffordable
16:23
for most normal people, right? But it has an electric assist. It has, they say, permanently
16:29
excited synchronous electric motor that brings your total horsepower with the twin turbo V8 to
16:37
805 and your total torque to over 1000 foot pounds of torque, 1047 foot pounds of torque.
16:44
So that's more than mine because mine was about 577. Right. So you get the logos and mine gets the
16:50
power. But unlike the BMW M4 that I drove, and obviously no one's cross shopping, these two,
16:57
it wasn't terrifying. It felt so refined and it's so planted and the steering is so precise
17:08
without being like twitchy that I think it's the best driving convertible I've ever driven ever.
17:18
Does that go ahead of any sort of 911 convertibles? Well, I haven't driven many 911 convertibles,
17:25
right? I mean, I had a 991 and I've driven the 992s and I mean, they're pretty amazing. But this,
17:33
I like, I like better. Now, I haven't, I haven't driven a turbo, for example. But for our, yeah,
17:38
our purpose is here. You loved it because I loved it. So refined. And the other thing is like,
17:42
so a 911 is the instant, it's like, you know, what you would cross shop against this, I guess,
17:47
because same price at the moment, a turbo change, but they just seem more a dime a dozen
17:54
than these. You just don't see that many SLs. And also, like, it's so luxurious. I love the
18:01
leather inside. I love the wood trim and it's got these pinstripes that are actually like
18:05
raised metal. Yes. The screens are screens. It's like highly technological, but they're not too
18:12
much. It's not, and they work perfectly and they're so intuitive. Seamless. I was trying
18:18
to think on the way to work this morning, what my complaints would be other than the price,
18:22
right? I'm never going to, a 225, I mean, it might be, might as well be an Aston Martin or Ferrari,
18:27
honestly, when you get to that level. But other than that, my only complaint is that it's a little
18:34
cramped for somebody who's six foot three. And the legs are the headroom. The legs. Yeah,
18:40
because I thought the headroom was actually pretty good, but you mean like leg wise. Yeah,
18:44
I mean, I'm all leg and I had the car as I had the seat as far back as I could get it.
18:49
And I just feel like at this price point, you could add a couple inches in the cockpit, but maybe,
18:54
and I was going to ask you about this, maybe they want to remind the buyer of a 300 SL, like maybe
19:02
they're trying to keep that feeling. And the seals, the door sills are kind of high,
19:05
not obviously old school SL high, but I've, I've never, I've never driven a 300 SL, but I've
19:12
sat in one or a few. And I got kind of the same feeling. You have to climb into the cockpit and
19:19
you feel like an athlete when you're driving this. Yes, it feels like a sports car. So I just think
19:27
I can't say enough good about it. Actually, it's, it's amazing if I had the money. Yeah. Well,
19:33
I agree. I as someone who used to own an SL, I had a 560 when I first moved to Los Angeles.
19:40
I love the heritage of the SL line from the Goldwings and I've done rallies in the Goldwings before.
19:48
I've owned an SL from an 88. And now this, obviously this really isn't close at all to the
19:55
SLs of the past, but you're right in the way that the seat orientation is inside. And I felt that
20:02
same way in the Mybok. I was in the car. The car was like, I put on the car like a coat
20:08
over my shoulders and I felt very hugged and embraced by the car. Not that it was stifling
20:16
at all, but it just felt very comforting. And this is where it starts to sound woo-woo.
20:21
But it's true. There's something about the way the seat is positioned and you're in it.
20:26
It's, you're not, I hate feeling like you're on top of something and you're just like
20:30
driving a skateboard. I'm Matt Miller, along with Hannah Elliot. You're listening to Hot Pursuit.
20:37
We have more coming up after this.

22:00
So we're going to talk with Charles Richmond, who is the 11th Duke of Richmond. You might have
22:08
heard of Goodwood. He is the person who owns Goodwood, the man behind him. He actually succeeded
22:13
his father as chairman of the Goodwood estate in 1994 after a career as a photographer. So he is
22:20
truly born and bred, all things automotive in the best British proper sense. He's actually
22:28
even earned a CBE for his contributions in that area. And we are so happy to have him joining us.
22:34
Now I believe we shall address his Excellency as my Lord Duke.
22:44
I think Charles will be fine. It's really very cool to have you here because we talk about
22:52
this is a weekly podcast and we tend towards the finer things in life. So we talk about Goodwood
23:00
quite a bit on this program. And I was really thrilled when Hannah told me she'd managed
23:06
to secure an interview with you. So thank you so much for joining us.
23:10
Pleasure. I'd be delighted to be involved.
23:14
So Goodwood coming up next month, it's one of the premier events for if not the premier event for
23:23
car lovers around the world. Tell us and our listeners who aren't familiar with it exactly
23:28
how you got started because Goodwood is steeped in automotive history.
23:34
Yeah, we're obviously talking about Goodwood revival. So there are a number of things
23:37
that go on here. Festival speeds, another one. But the revival is very much part of the whole
23:46
story. And so my grandfather, Freddy, was a racing driver before the war in 1930s.
23:55
And he allowed the RAF to turn one of the farms here at Goodwood into
24:01
Battle of Britain airfield at the beginning of the war. And in order to do that, they built a
24:08
perimeter track around this around this airfield, which is so often what happened
24:14
with those sort of those satellite airfields around southern England. It was a very busy
24:20
airfield, very busy in the war, Douglas Bader, some great pilots flew from here.
24:33
And it was a very busy active airfield. And after the war, a young Australian pilot
24:47
who also became a very successful driver called Tony Gaze, he suggests my grandfather this perimeter
24:53
track they built around the airfield would make a great racetrack. All the young pilots have been
25:00
tearing around it when they were not flying their Spitfires. And so he looked at it. He got
25:06
John Cooper down. They had to go around it. They went the other way to start with. They
25:10
went the opposite way around. Anyway, they decided to make a great racetrack. And
25:17
in September 1948, they had their very first meeting. And that was the first
25:21
race meeting to open after the war. And it was always Easter Monday. It was the first big
25:28
race meeting of the year. It was very social. All the great teams were here. All the great
25:33
drivers were here. And I used to come as a small boy. And I was horrified in 1966,
25:41
when he decided, my grandfather decided for all sorts of personal reasons, he was going to
25:46
shut it down. And that was very, I was very disappointed. And so I kind of vowed one day
25:54
we'd try and get it going again. And when I came back to live at Goodwood, in the early 90s,
26:02
that was something that I looked at very early on. It was all collapsed, fallen down. It was used
26:07
for a bit of testing, but the buildings were all gone. And the airfield was still busy
26:13
in the middle of it. And we immediately started to sort of make
26:24
inquiries with the local authority, the local government about how we could get this going
26:28
again. And we met a wall of resistance. So that looked like it was going to be very, very challenging.
26:33
And eventually it looked pretty impossible.
26:39
I was just going to ask, you know, for people who haven't been
26:43
to the Festival of Speed or Revival, can you kind of explain the difference? Obviously Revival is
26:48
very period correct, both for the people who are attending and for the cars and for the races.
26:55
Festival of Speed at this point seems like a huge massive car show with new cars going up the
27:01
hill. Can you kind of say, you know, okay, if you're a certain person, go to Festival of
27:07
Speed. If you're another kind of person, go to Revival. Because they're very different.
27:13
Well, they're very, very different. So yeah, the Festival of Speed is four days.
27:18
It's a celebration of the motor car and all its forms. And it celebrates the past, present,
27:23
and the future. The future is really important too. The cars are driven in front of the house
27:31
on this piece of road. They go up this hill. It's 1.1 mile length. And the big difference is
27:37
they go one at a time. And some of them are, you know, some of them are demonstration only,
27:43
some of them are being extremely competitive. And you see an F1 car, a full chat on a bit,
27:48
on a piece of road that's only a few meters wide in front of the house. It's, you know,
27:53
it's a pretty, it can be a pretty, I mean, those first years, everyone was so shocked,
27:58
was literally a string line. You'd be sitting there, this is the piece of string across and
28:01
I was going, my God, this is, you know, as a McLaren went past you. So it became a thing.
28:09
And it, and it's, it really is a celebration and a sort of joy of mobility. And, and it's
28:15
turned into all of that. And the manufacturers got involved very quickly. They got super
28:19
enthusiastic about it. So we're very, you know, every major manufacturer in the world,
28:23
one way or another has been involved and most of them still are. And there are no motor shows in
28:28
the world now either really. So we're a kind of, we answer to the motor show and, and, and, and it's
28:37
dynamic. So then people can actually see the car moving. So we, you know, we had lots, I don't
28:42
know how many launches, we have 12 major launches this year or something, you know,
28:46
from cars from, you know, mass production cars to hyper cars to every sort of thing. And
28:54
you know, there's very little opportunity now for manufacturers, they can launch cars digitally,
28:58
which became quite fashionable for a while. But I think after the end, they felt like it's not
29:03
really the same as doing, they need to do it live, but also send those messages around the
29:07
world at the same time. So I think we offer an interesting platform for that. And it's
29:12
just a really big sharing experience. Everyone here is a massive, you know, car,
29:16
that massive enthusiast that total, you know, they're so into it.
29:19
I want to finally ask about the revival. Obviously, the, the, the cars are the main
29:25
attraction in the plane. Planes in the morning would be fantastic. And I imagine you
29:30
have some amazing motorcycles there as well. But for, for many people, you know, dressing
29:37
up to the period and bringing period gear must also be just as much fun. And we know where to
29:45
get all the cars. Hannah writes about that. That's her day job. But where does one
29:51
properly outfit himself for this event? I mean, is there a clothier near Goodwood or
29:57
someone in London that you would recommend? Well, that's a good, very good question,
30:02
actually. But the, I mean, one thing is when it, vintage is important and real vintage is
30:08
important, you know, the whole, the real ethos event is around revive and thrive.
30:13
So it's what we call it. So it's about, you know, by the best made to last second
30:17
hand's really a really good thing and things on and look after things. I mean, for instance,
30:24
it's just worth mentioning all the cars. It's the only motorsport event in the world
30:27
where all the cars are mandated on synthetic fuel. So they're all running synthetic fuel.
30:32
So the whole sustainability thing is an important part of the event and that's an important part
30:35
of what you wear. But we're not saying it has to be vintage. We're saying, you know, if it's
30:40
beautifully made, you know, properly tailored, and it's, and it's, it's going to last and
30:45
that's fine. You could just work, get a great hat, you know, you go to locks and
30:49
St James's and buy a great hat in London, you could get go to Portobello,
30:54
where all the second hand shops are and get some great second hand kit. But, you know,
30:59
you don't, people do it by degrees. And you can go online, obviously Etsy and all those
31:09
sites, they've got great vintage. So that world's been transformed. I mean, the fact you can buy
31:14
it all online now is, is, is fabulous. And I mean, there are still a few second hand
31:24
shops around, but probably Portobello is the best, especially for girls, for girls stuff,
31:29
you know, some very serious collectors. I mean, people were very tiny, then that's
31:33
another slight challenge. You know, they were much, they were much smaller.
31:38
But there's a whole mass of vintage shops at Revival itself. And we've got our, you know,
31:43
Dita Von Tees and Dandy Wellington and all these people here coming here to, you know,
31:48
talk about vintage and talk about the whole sort of lifestyle of vintage. And they just
31:52
live it. These people live the whole, live the whole thing completely. So it's a very important
31:58
part of the event. And people, we've got 80 hairdressers on site or something. Everyone,
32:01
you know, the whole hair and makeup thing. It's amazing. And people look actually,
32:06
so they arrive really early, they get their hair done. You know, they arrive in a lovely
32:11
old Aston Martin, they get their hair done there, everyone gets ready, have a fabulous
32:14
breakfast, bottle of champagne, they're ready to go. Matt, I think we need to make this
32:19
happen, Matt. Agreed. I'm there. I'm there. Like I said, I've been to Festival of Speed,
32:24
but Revival I actually hear is really the jewel. But organize if you're coming.
32:31
Matt said you were coming earlier. Are you? I hope so. I hope so. Well, now I'd like to change,
32:38
now let's change my plans and come as well. I mean, it sounds like the most
