Yangwang beats Bugatti, 400hp for £22k and guilty pleasure cars

from The Gassing Station · host PistonHeads

Welcome back to The Gassing Station. This week's episode opens with John being surprisingly upbeat about the Volvo XC90 and Cam thinks the new BMW iX3 Neue Klasse isn't quite as hideous as the car it replaces. On the subject of funny looking cars, the Yangwang U9X and its shiny new production speed record, which it's nabbed from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. But what's really caught Cam and John's eye is the massive moment test driver Marc Basseng had at 293mph while setting the proction EV record.For topic two, Cam and John help a PistonHeads user find a new toy for £22k, one that not only has to be practical but must also feel more special than their 400hp Mk3 Ford Focus RS. Tricky, that.To finish things off, the two disclose their guilty pleasure cars, partly inspired by John's love of the XC90, and partly so they can talk about their first cars. All that and more on this week's episode of The Gassing Station.
