19 januari 2021 · 58 min

Fast Audis: from the sublime to the ridiculously underwhelming #42
11 januari 2021 · 55 min
Audi has produced some truly special performance cars over the years, not least the original R8 and the current RS6 Avant. But far too many of its fast cars have missed the mark.

Vive la France! Celebrating the best (and worst) of the French car industry #39
14 december 2020 · 57 min

Low-volume, lightweight and British. We talk Caterham, TVR, Morgan and more, plus the latest hypercar news #33
2 november 2020 · 58 min
Britain has a rich heritage in designing and manufacturing lightweight, low-volume sports cars. Many more such makers have come and gone than are still around today, proving how difficult the business can be. But in the likes of Caterham, Morgan and Ariel, there are successful and sustainable companies building some of the world's most rewarding and engaging performance cars. As well as celebrating those, we also discuss the latest hypercar news including the Bugatti Bolide and SSC Tuatara. We hope you enjoy listening. Support DN on Patreon for exclusive content.
