16 december 2024 · 52 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the cars they've been living with in 2024, from a Volkswagen Up GTI to a McLaren Artura, via a basic Porsche 911 and an electric Audi.

9 december 2024 · 54 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the 2024 Formula 1 season, which looked set to be a carbon copy of the tedious 2023 campaign until it suddenly turned into one of the most watchable seasons in years. Dan and Andrew talk about this season's heroes and zeroes and what F1 has in store for us in 2025. Will Max Verstappen win a fifth consecutive title? Is Lando Norris ready to mount a serious championship bid? Will we see a rejuvenated Lewis Hamilton next year? They also discuss the new Jaguar concept, the Type 00, which Andrew has seen in person.

18 november 2024 · 49 min

The problem with today's hypercars #237
11 november 2024 · 46 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel consider why the McLaren W1 and Ferrari F80 haven't caused the same excitement among enthusiasts as hypercars from the past. Are we just bored with very low-volume, extremely high-performance machines that few of us will ever get to experience for ourselves? Is there something inherently wrong with this new batch of hypercar? Dan and Andrew also look back at the best hypercars of all time to see how the sector has evolved over the past four decades.

We've driven the new 717bhp BMW M5 #235
28 oktober 2024 · 45 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel review the new hybrid BMW M5. With 717bhp it's easily the most powerful M5 yet, but at 2435kg it's the heaviest by a distance too. Has BMW M managed to overcome all that weight to make another great M5? Dan and Andrew also discuss Lando Norris's racing efforts in 2024 and talk to McLaren Automotive materials engineer Ella Podmore. Lees meer

ICONS: 50 years of the Porsche 911 Turbo #234
21 oktober 2024 · 50 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss perhaps their least favourite Porsche 911 variant, the Turbo. Now in its half-centenary year, the 911 Turbo has long been one of the fastest cars on the road. But among 911s, argue Dan and Andrew, it's also tended to be one of the least engaging to drive. Here's why. Lees meer

We've driven the electric Renault 5 and Ferrari 12Cilindri #232
7 oktober 2024 · 51 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel review two of the year's most exciting new cars... and they could hardly be more different. The new Renault 5 EV is one of the best-looking small cars in years, while the Ferrari 12Cilindri is the latest in a long and vaunted line of front-engined Ferrari V12s. But are they everything we hoped for? Dan and Andrew also reflect on another wonderful Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage and take a look at the used car marketplace. Lees meer

The perils of being a premium car marque (Jaguar, Maserati and Alfa Romeo) #230
23 september 2024 · 55 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel explore the struggles at Jaguar, Maserati and Alfa Romeo. The similarities between the three car makers are striking – all have great racing heritage, all have produced some of the most beautiful performance and luxury cars ever produced, all have enviable brand power and, having all pursued the premium mass market game, each one has suffered dire financial troubles in recent times. So where did they go wrong? Lees meer

9 september 2024 · 45 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel tell the story of the Mazda MX-5, the world's favourite two-seat roadster.

Why the new Mercedes-AMG C63 is such a miss, plus much more #226
26 augustus 2024 · 49 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the new Mercedes-AMG C63 with its controversial hybrid powertrain. Gone is the rumbling V8, in its place a four-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor that between them generate 670bhp. But the car is also very heavy, very expensive and lacking an appropriate soundtrack for a C63 AMG. They also talk about McLaren's incredible Formula 1 turnaround, Monterey Car Week and more.

BMW design: what the hell is going on? #224
12 augustus 2024 · 48 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined in the studio by Steve Saxty, who arguably knows more about BMW design than anybody not affiliated with the company. Steve's book, BMW Behind the Scenes, explores the past, present and future of the marque's often beautiful, sometimes baffling designs. Many of its latest efforts, such as the XM SUV, are among the most contentious designs of the modern era. So why did BMW choose to go down such a divisive path and will it continue in the same direction? Lees meer

The best (and worst) special edition Porsches #223
5 augustus 2024 · 52 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss special edition Porsche sports cars, from the 1950s to the present day. Most are derivates of the 911 (including the original 911 S/T and its modern reincarnation, plus Speedsters, GT2s and more), though there are plenty of front- and mid-engined cars in here as well. But which ones rank among our favourites, and which ones did we simply not like at all? Lees meer

F1 2024 half-term report #222
29 juli 2024 · 50 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the extraordinary Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, won on the road by George Russell who was later disqualified for having an underweight car. They also look back at the first half of the season, which looked likely to be another Max Verstappen stat-padding year before rivals McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes caught up with the Red Bull powerhouse. With 10 Grands Prix still to come, the 2024 season now looks like being a vintage one. Lees meer

17 juni 2024 · 52 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel look at the riskiest and most reckless ways to spend £20,000 in the used performance and luxury car market.

Michael Schumacher: the most complete racing driver ever? #215
10 juni 2024 · 54 min
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the remarkable racing career of Michael Schumacher. The German driver once held all the Formula 1 records, including most championships, most wins and most poles.

But along with his ferocious speed and intellect came a darker side – a need to win so fierce he twice crashed into competitors in championship deciders. And did his Mercedes comeback in 2010 hurt his legacy? Lees meer
