Supercars Are Different Now

Episode: 1x01 | Airdate: Jul 10, 2023 (22 min)

Supercars Are Different Now

The definition of a supercar has to shift. Hypercars are still insane, and they look the part, but the idea of a supercar doesn't mean what it used to. Now, a supercar is quiet, has room for your family and friends, and can deliver spine-crunching acceleration—while still delivering exceptional range and even a luxurious driving experience. Don't agree? This episode might change your mind.

Ultimate Supertruck

If you're going to have a truck, you might as well have a supertruck. The only problem is Jeff and Jonny can't seem to decide on which is best, or even what the definition of a supertruck is! Is it all about looks? What about how it sounds? Don't forget how it drives -- can it jump? Is it all about horsepower, or torque? Can it be electric? And does it matter if it can even do truck things?

Real Ultimate Driving Machine

BMW began making performance M cars over 50 years ago, coining the catchphrase "ultimate driving machine" and running with it.

Excessive Excess

Not only are these two of the quickest SUVs in town, they're also among the most excessive. Nothing this big and heavy needs to go this quickly, or cost this much, or be painted this bright -- and yet here we are! On this episode, we pit the Rivian R1S against the Lamborghini Urus, and we're going to find out which is best.

With the new eighth-generation Mustang, has the Dark Horse finally made the switch from muscle car with some sporty upgrades to being a real sports car? Jonny remains unconvinced, so he and Jeff are putting it up against a tried-and-true two-door from Porsche to see if the Ford can keep up.

We Got the Hoonitron!

The RS e-tron GT is Audi's first foray into all-electric performance, but it isn't the car we're most excited to drive in today's episode. The Audi S1 Hoonitron is next level in every aspect -- power, handling and good old-fashioned tire-slaying performance -- and they let US drive it!
