This week’s key takeaway:
What does the future hold for Supercars, V8s and Electric
Vehicles?
Episode intro:
We had a great chat with Stephen Corby: a man who has lived
out our boyish dreams of driving supercars… and he gets paid for
it! As editor of Top Gear Australia and Wheels Magazine he made a
living out of driving supercars and writing about them (the lucky
so and so), and in that time he’s also gathered a great deal of
industry experience. Oh and by the way, he also writes for Paint &
Panel Magazine, so we like him already!
We indulge ourselves and talk about the fun he had driving
supercars, but also the more serious matters of autonomous
vehicles, electric supercars, and how the hybrid model might be the
best for the Australian market.
In this week’s episode you will learn:
-What it’s really like to drive a Lamborghini Counthach
-How electric supercars are better than ever
-Why buying old supercars is a great investment
-The length of the average commute
-Why hybrids may be the future for the Australian market
-Will Tesla continue to dominate the market?
-The importance of understanding who is behind the brand
-The impact of autonomous vehicles on collision repair
-Why a market led by autonomous vehicles is further away than
we think
-How the industry should prepare for the rise of electric
vehicles
