In this episode, the gang delves into the shocking news of Audi waving goodbye to the iconic A4, rebranding it as the A5 in light of the electric revolution. The discussion then shifts to the excessive screens in the Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle so laden with tech that it might just overwhelm even the most seasoned gadget enthusiasts. As they mourn the decline of sedans with Nissan bidding farewell to the Ultima, a shift towards SUVs becomes more evident in the automotive landscape.
But the real star of the show is the Red Bull RB17 hypercar, a track-focused beast boasting a mind-boggling 1,200 brake horsepower from a 4.5 L V10 engine with hybrid assistance. Despite its track origins, Red Bull plans to make this powerhouse street legal, a move that raises eyebrows across the car world. The team also marvels at the rarity of a naturally aspirated engine in the RB17, a bold choice in an era dominated by turbocharging.
As they banter about the RB17's specs and its potential street legality, the conversation takes a humorous turn with comparisons to the elusive Aspark Owl electric hypercar. With skepticism surrounding the Owl's existence, the team speculates on a future lineup including a whimsical "Aspark Warbler." The episode encapsulates the ever-evolving automotive industry, from the demise of beloved sedans to the rise of hypercars pushing the boundaries of performance and technology.
