The Jaguar Type 01 Is Here, New Lotus V8 Supercar, the Revuelto Market is Crashing! THISCARPOD!EP111

TL;DR

Episode 111 covers the Jaguar Type 01 EV reveal, a new Lotus hybrid V8 supercar, and the Lamborghini Revuelto's collapsing used market values.

Key Points

• 1.The Jaguar Type 01 is a 1,000-horsepower electric four-door confirmed for 2027. The hosts are skeptical it will sell, comparing it directly to the Cadillac Celestiq, which they note has combined zero sightings on public roads.
• 2.Lotus announced a hybrid V8 supercar codenamed the Type 135 with at least 986 horsepower. The engine comes from Horse Motors, a Renault-Geely joint venture, and the hosts question whether it will ever actually reach production given Lotus's vaporware history with the Evija.
• 3.The Lamborghini Revuelto used market is crashing, with prices falling below sticker. The hosts note SF90 values have also collapsed, and even 12-cylinder Lamborghinis are selling under MSRP despite the car being on the US market for less than a year.
• 4.The Lotus Emira is replacing its beloved Toyota V6 and Mercedes AMG turbo-four with a Horse Motors 540-horsepower turbo V6. The shocking detail is it will be mated to a four-speed automatic — despite 88% of Emiras currently selling with a manual transmission.
• 5.The Nissan Z is moving to build-to-order production, signaling further reduced output. Combined with the Toyota Supra reaching its final edition, the hosts debate whether the Japanese sports car era is truly dying, though they argue the Miata, BRZ, Civic Type R, and GR GT suggest otherwise.
• 6.The Audi Q9 full-size SUV interior has been revealed ahead of a full unveiling on July 28th. Described as the most luxurious Audi interior ever, it will likely spawn a full-size Porsche SUV variant as well.
• 7.Stellantis is developing a sub-$20,000 concept called the Chrysler Pronto for potential production. Shown privately to dealers, similar concepts exist for Jeep and Ram brands, though the hosts are skeptical given Stellantis's history with unreliable budget cars like the Dodge Dart and Neon.
• 8.The Lamborghini Phenomino coupe is getting a convertible variant, with only 15 units planned. Based on the Revuelto's hybrid V12 making 1,065 horsepower, the coupe had just 29 examples built and was unveiled at the Quail.
• 9.BMW Alpina is debuting its first car under official BMW ownership at Villa d'Este. A teased silhouette suggests a long, swoopy four-door resembling an 8 Series Gran Coupe, prompting a lengthy tangent about Zagato's design history.
• 10.A Fast and Furious TV show has been confirmed, with Vin Diesel claiming up to four spin-offs. The franchise turns 25 years old in June 2025, has grossed $7 billion globally, and is Universal's longest-running franchise ever.
• 11.The Aventador has held its value remarkably well compared to the crashing Revuelto and SF90. The hosts note that the combined total production of all Bizzarrini V12-era Lamborghinis — Miura, Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago — is likely less than Aventador production alone.
