Episode 219:

In this episode of our podcast, we delve into the captivating details of a 912, a creation by a Hungarian company that weighs 1541 lbs, is constructed entirely from carbon, and boasts a price tag of $437,000. With 190 horsepower at 7,200 rpm. We draw comparisons to the iconic Lotus Elan from the '60s, pondering whether the 912 is pushing boundaries merely for the sake of being different.

The conversation then shifts to the Singer car known as the Dynamic and Lightweight Study (DLS), one of the first to be publicly listed for sale. Originally priced at $2 million before options, this particular model claims to have $375,000 in additional features. With only 75 units manufactured worldwide, the ask for one of these machines becomes a tantalizing mystery. Is it a great Christmas gift, and how do you perceive the original price point of $2 million?

Our automotive exploration extends to RUF's significant push in the US, with a Miami headquarters led by Alosia, Aloi's daughter. Does this mark a new era for RUF, and how does Alosia's background, having grown up and worked in various aspects of the company, influence the brand's future? We ponder the significance of Miami as an epicenter and discuss RUF's potential next moves in the industry.

As the holiday season approaches, we tackle the age-old question of whether a car makes a ridiculous gift. Join us in this festive discussion, and stay tuned for more as we continue our exploration into the thrilling world of automobiles. But first, a brief brake, and then we'll pick up where we left off, on this cliffhanger of automotive excitement!
