These are some of the big brains that decide what a Lotus car should look like, feel like, and what the company should do next. Russell Carr has been working for Lotus since 1990 and was appointed head of design in 2014. His work can be seen in the Lotus Esprit facelift, Europa S, Evora, and upcoming Evija. Gavan Kershaw has been the Director of Attributes and Product Integrity since 2017. He sets the targets, benchmarks and evaluation sign-off on everything to do with the performance of Lotus cars. He's never worked anywhere else, so to say he cares about the brand would be an understatement. Matt Windle served as the Executive Director of Engineering until January of 2021 when he was named the Managing Director of Lotus Cars.

The all-new Tundra has a new engine, suspension, and more. Will it carry the torch? Zack Klapman and Larry Chen went to Texas to find out. The all-new for 2022 Toyota Tundra comes with some very big changes: the only engine is a twin-turbo V6 instead of a range of V8s; The "big" engine is a hybrid setup (which we were not able to test); the suspension has been redesigned; the bed is a composite; and it has a range of electronic assistants designed to make your life easier. Larry Chen happened to be on the same launch so he and Zack Klapman spent the day testing several trim levels of the new Tundra, including the outgoing 2021 model. How does the new one handle rocks, water, a trailer, and a highway commute? *PRICING: As of Nov 1, 2021, Toyota has not published pricing.

As Aston Martin develops the V8 Vantage platform further, under the guidance of Tobais Moers (stolen from Mercedes-AMG), the car only improves. The new "F1 Edition," may have a silly name, but it has lots of functional improvements including 24 more horsepower, a recalibrated suspension, improved aerodynamics and a reprogrammed transmission, making this the most dynamically rewarding V8 Vantage yet.

To start comparing quotes and simplify insurance-buying, check out Policygenius: https://www.Policygenius.com/SmokingTire. Thanks to Policygenius for sponsoring this video! The Audi RS7 was the heaviest hitter on the block when it landed in the US... until last year's RS6 Avant showed up. But now the RS7 gets the complete underpinnings of the RS6 Avant, just without, you know, the Avant part. Instead, it's got a hatchback that hides a surprisingly large trunk. The performance? Blistering. The ride quality? Extraordinary. So although us car nerds will always prefer the wagons, don't count out the hatchbacks - they still got it.

Thanks to Valvoline for sponsoring todays video! Ask for it by name at your local auto parts store! The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon SRT 392 is as ridiculous to operate as you think it is. It sounds, moves, and drives like a car from the 1960's... on pavement. It has way more engine than chassis, way more engine than steering, way more engine than brakes. It gets 10 miles per gallon. It will wake everyone up in a five block radius on cold starts. But, because a V8 engine is just generally so much more pleasant to operate than a humdrum six-cylinder, it's also the most special. And when you take it into the dirt, it really starts to make sense. Jeep provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of gas for this review. IUse Off The Record! and ALWAYS fight your tickets!

Discount Code - SMOKING - apply at checkout! Blackout Beardscape: http://bit.ly/BlackoutBeardscape_Smoking - Zero Blade: http://bit.ly/ZeroBlade_Smoking The Porsche Cayman GT4 is almost the perfect sports car. It was a smash hit from when it was launched in 2016, and, with one exception, is above most levels of criticism with its brilliant chassis, steering, and composure. With the manual gearbox, enthusiasts and journalists complained about the long gearing, which hampers acceleration and means you can do the entire canyon range in third gear, up to 114 MPH! Not ideal for a stick. Now, the GT4 comes with a PDK 7-speed dual clutch automatic. More gears should mean shorter gears, so does that fix the issue and make the Cayman GT4 a 10/10?

Matt and Zack discuss the Mazda3 while mobbing, and Zack explains just why you can't get it with a manual. *Correction: In this video, Matt says the vehicle is equipped with Bridgestone *Potenza* tires.

This 2000 Porsche 996 Carrera was bought as a track-only car by its current owner, who is slowly converting it back to street use. It has the stock powertrain, but a host of track-ready upgrades in the suspension and chassis department, and represents a fun, fast versatile car for California summers.
