The team dives deep into what makes the European-exclusive Alpine A110 such a special driver's car with its impressive power-to-weight ratio and balanced handling. Spike raves about the Mercedes AMG GT 63 S E Performance's mind-bending 805 horsepower hybrid powertrain that combines supercar performance with daily driver practicality. Meanwhile, Jonny offers insights on the Audi A3's luxury features and value proposition compared to the more performance-focused S3.
The episode takes entertaining detours into customs nightmares when importing cars, the dubious quality of Moscow hotel water, Russian sauna culture, results from Le Mans, and a discussion on the future of automotive technology based on a recent Wall Street Journal article.
