The definition of party trick that sold units: the Maybach GLS600’s sand/mud bouncing

@galactictomato1434 2 ай бұрын

That isn't a Maybach exclusive feature. You can get it as an option on the GLS and for a year or two it was an option on the GLE.

01:32 - “hello! Welcome to the car” - driving in a Panamera Turbo S but being unable to talk about it 02:40 - Genesis G70 drive debrief 16:09 - Matt’s time in the Range Rover P400 (22:02 - aside: what are vehicles with great party tricks that don’t ever get used?) 26:06 - Bentely update: the rear hydraulic springs are locked up, and car guy math excuses for repair costs (34:46 - “Is that Eric?” - TST comes across Matt’s GM driving to work and Zack yells at him) 37:37 - the entire fleet needs servicing, and worrying about the thermal management of Matt’s Spyder Patreon questions: 49:26 - how many cars have you guys driven with the new PS5s? is there any difference you can tell from the PS4s? 51:02 - an SF90 just sold for $414k; would you rather a new 296 or a depreciated SF90? 51:53 - with a new hurricane approaching, what would be the ideal vehicle to get around after a storm? 55:00 - what was the least comfortable car you’ve driven on a roadtrip? 56:02 - fun car for $40k? 57:40 - we know that the Panamera Turbo S Hybrid will depreciate spectacularly; at what price point, if it exists, would you buy a highly-optioned one out of warranty? 59:49 - TST has noted that Ford and Chevy are both able to create excellent performance vehicles when they give it to the performance engineers; what manufacturer has the worst performance division? 1:01:41 - I have a 2023 Camero SS 1LE which has already had its motor replaced after a track day last year, then it’s been in the shop for 10 weeks this summer having its transmission replaced; how much more do I put up with before selling the car? How much would you put up with if you still liked it? 1:03:06 - considering moving to NYC for a dream job fulfilment-wise, but it would have an admittedly low salary initially; can you explain how I could be a car enthusiast in NY without being ultra-wealthy? 1:05:02 - what are your tips for a first time HPDE track day? 1:06:37 - any recommendations for a first Omega Speedmaster? 1:07:06 - never hear anyone mention the BMW I8 on lists of depreciated exotics/luxury sports cars; do they suck that much? 1:07:50 - Sotheby’s was selling a barn find, dusty 300SL with expected auction value of $4mil; this was next to a great condition estimated to fetch $1.5mil. Matt has talked about buying a vin and frame for a complete restoration, but the economics don’t seem to match up here? 1:10:25 - what are your early thoughts on the McLaren W1? 1:10:57 - outro

Why don't you do that sunroof/cockpit camera for reviews? It is much better than the dashcam POV. We can see your inputs, car movement and the road speed looks more accurate.

I liked this view of the cameras, but I’d like a little more forward and a little less backward. Don’t need to see their chests but wouldn’t mind seeing more road.

I live in Phoenix and can confirm that lighter color leather is worth it here (at least for my wife and I). Yes, I do have to clean it a little more than my car with black leather but it is noticeably cooler when you get into your car after it has been sitting in the 110° sun, which is nearly half of the year here.

@fraserwright9482 2 ай бұрын

The operating temp is not an issue because its better to be operating at higher temp, your oil is healthier. If you aren't at 70% throttle, its not working hard either. The car is not turboed so heat management is not an issue. If the car gets hot, it has the capacity to cool.

@neilturner6749 2 ай бұрын

You didn’t listen to what Matt said - 718s are factory set to run unnaturally hot in regular mode to improve emissions, so Porsche lowers their engine running temperatures (when you engage sport and sport + mode if you have those options). Matts car is highly modified so he’s rightly concerned it’s not lowering the running temperature when it needs to…

Coolers in anything. I’ve owned two cars that had “coolers” in them. The sales people always like to point them out and I never used them once nor have I met anyone that has. Plus in the sales material there’s always a party happening around the cars cooler.

Wasn't there a truck in the early 2000s that could possibly not crab walk but it could turn around on its own axis or something? I tried to do a quick search but I thought I remembered a truck that could do a full 180° turn or 360 without driving in an obvious circle.

I agree but the Germans get the brand prestige, the superior suspension and the “hidden” horsepower which makes the Germans faster and in my opinion, better.

@BenA_DD 2 ай бұрын

Agreed, the Germans are better after haven driven them all and as a G70 owner. I think the adaptive suspension is actually better in the G70, but the trans really falls short of the ZF8 in M340i and while I also think the B58 is 100% 'better' than the G70s Lambda 3.3t I think the 3.3t is actually more charismatic with its dramatic turbo kick. The G70 is 90% of fun as the M340i with better tech and comfort and its better than the rest of the Germans while being $15k cheaper and way more unique, made it an easy pick for me!

@vvevvevvvv 2 ай бұрын

Don't care what brand prestige BMW has. Now BMW is just making very ugly, heavy cars. "Hidden horsepower" are now in every turbocharged car. Manufacturers basically advertise their engine power in the worst possible conditions with the crappy fuel. Put some nice fuel in the Genesis and it will make more horses.
