    Ioniq 6 N Review; 1000 Miles in a 918; How TST Works

    We're back in the studio! Matt Farah drove 1000 miles in a hypercar prototype that might be his favorite; Zack Klapman tested the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 N on the road and track (and has quite a story about it); plus we answer Patreon questions including:

    • Why is my Porsche trying to kill me?
    • Which car company would benefit the most from an election?
    • Is this watch too good to be true?
    • Sports cars for tall people
    • Which cars do we want despite them being bad at some things?
    • Are lifted sports cars more fun even on asphalt?
    • Can you really feel a tune?
    • Cars that get better with mileage; cars that don't
    • Why is WCCS successful?
    • Should I track my new Lexus IS500?
    • Ford GT or Ferrari 296?
    • Can a new Porsche Turbo ever be as fast as a GT3?
    • Will the Aventador SVJ be worth millions one day?
    • And more!
