In this riveting episode of Doug DeMuro, the team delves into the mysterious world of the Aspark Owl, a car that shattered the electric speed record at a mind-boggling 272.50 mph. But hold your horses, because the high-performance Aspark Owl SP600 takes things up a notch with its owl-eyed design and vaporware status. Yes, you heard that right - it's not a real car, just a whimsical creation that has the automotive world scratching their heads in confusion.
But wait, there's more automotive madness to unpack as the discussion shifts to the Smart Number 5, a crossover boasting a staggering 637 horsepower. A far cry from the brand's humble beginnings, this powerhouse raises eyebrows and questions about Smart's evolution. And then, the bombshell news hits - Fisker has filed for bankruptcy, leaving behind a trail of assets valued between 500 million and a billion dollars. The hosts dissect the financial woes of Fisker, pondering the fate of the once-promising automaker.
But fear not, petrolheads, for Ferrari swoops in to save the day with back-to-back victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix. The iconic brand's triumph on the racing circuit sparks debates about the significance of motorsport success on a manufacturer's reputation. As the hosts banter about Ferrari's racing legacy, the episode unfolds with a mix of astonishment, skepticism, and a dash of classic automotive intrigue.
