Summary

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss sports cars and why they would normally choose to drive one over a supercar. They may be less powerful, less exotic and less valuable, but they are so often more enjoyable to drive on the road. Dan and Andrew also have news of a pair of new British sports cars in the Caterham EV Seven and Aston Martin DB12.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Intercooler Podcast.
0:07.0	Hi everyone, welcome to episode 163 of the Intercooler Podcast with me Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel, my co-host. Now it's a bit of a magazine style show this week because we're covering lots of ground. We've got news of a couple of British sports cars and then later on we're debating whether or not we
0:25.9	prefer sports cars or supercars. That's all to come. Before that I will just
0:32.1	remind you all to rate and review the podcast.
0:35.1	And while you're doing it, just hit the follow button or hit the subscribe button on whichever
0:39.2	app you're using to listen to this.
0:41.0	That really helps us a lot. thank you for doing that and enjoy the
0:44.0	episode there's some news that we need to discuss to get this episode underway
0:48.0	Andrew news of an Aston Martin which we'll come on to in a little bit but also
0:52.1	an interesting new
0:53.8	catarum potentially interesting and I want to get your views on this thing because
0:57.3	they've called it EV7 it's an electric catarum and actually for now it's a concept and I think all we've seen are some renders
1:07.2	So I don't know what state the actual concept car is in
1:10.3	I think it's only running at the festival of speeders speed which I think is the end of June so you'd hope

1:19.9	actual thing soon that's good to know but let me just sort of run through some of the
1:24.8	specs. It's got a 51 kilowatt hour battery. They say 40 kilowatt hours
1:30.4	usable. So 51 kilowatt actually that seems fairly large to me. I mean something
1:36.4	like a big Tesla might have a 100 kilowatt hour battery. That is enormous so 51 it's half the size of that so it's still
1:45.8	fairly substantial isn't it? It's something like an electric mini has got a 30 kilowatt battery.
1:56.4	Has it weird only 30?
1:58.3	Yeah.
