In this thrilling episode of the MotorTrend Channel podcast, the hosts dive headfirst into the future of cars, transportation, and the exciting world of car restoration with none other than the legendary Macio Reani, former chief of R&D at Lamborghini. The conversation kicks off with a burning question about the sluggish pace of level two EV chargers in public spaces, shedding light on the cost and lack of motivation behind the slow rollout of faster charging infrastructure. As the gears shift, the spotlight turns to Reani's illustrious career, starting as Bugatti's second employee back in the late '80s, long before VW's ownership.

The hosts peel back the layers of Reani's work on groundbreaking projects like the EB110, revealing the challenges faced during Bugatti's nascent days and the innovative design elements that set the EB110 apart, including the revolutionary quad turbo V12 engine. Reani's journey from Maserati to Bugatti is a tale of passion and mechanical mastery, showcasing his relentless pursuit of engineering excellence. The podcast hosts also raise a glass to Reani's recent accolade—an honorary doctorate from Bologna University, a testament to his remarkable contributions to the automotive world.
