Aston Martin DB5, The Car of Spies!

Aston Martin DB5
In this episode, I cover the Aston Martin DB5, the best known James Bond Car. First Featured in the film Goldfinger, released in 1964. The DB5 would become known as the ultimate spy car, filled with gadgets and enough power to outrun any villain. These cars are so popular that they are still being made today in a very limited run.
Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I cover the Lamborghini LM002, an off-road monster developed by Lamborghini for military use. But the military was not interested so it was brought to the general public and to the rally racing stages instead!

Tesla Model 3
In this episode, I cover the tesla model 3. This crazy electric sedan not only looks good but also provides impressive performance. I go into the power train and how the electric motors work, the transmissions used, and the options available in this car of the future. Autopilot and a 0-60 time that's close to that of a Ford GT? yes, please.
