The new hybrid s63 amg is actually like 5800lbs so whats the point it's a luxury sedan not a race car 😅

Love this podcast but the Lewis bias or should I say anti Verstappen stance is very funny

I'm quite shocked how little you two guys know about V8 engines at VW group brands... Did you really asked about "Bentleys own V8 engine....?" This is ridiculous, dude! Because everybody knows since a few years, Bentley just uses the 4 liter biturbo V8 engine from Porsche/Audi! This is the V8 + the PHEV system from the Porsche Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid, dude!

For some reason I got the feeling that Sam was interviewing Paul for a job with the Behind the Glass podcast and Tony was trying to convince Sam why he should keep him as his cohort 😂 In all honesty. I think all KZfaq presenters will have to continue to refine their channels or they will fade away. Furthermore I think there is an element of age being a relevant concern as the content creation market becomes more competitive. I think Paul pivoting towards these new opportunities is great, best of luck.

That’s awesome Paul, congratulations on the new opportunity! As far as the Mercedes scripted presenting jobs go, welcome to the corporate business world. If you did it few times and did well (even with them flipping the script) they would most likely give you more creative leeway as you may be more sought out to perform more often. But either way, it’s good to hear your career taking off into things you want to do.

16:55 That's the dumbest comment by Sam ever... A NA throttle response is going to be 2X faster than a turbo car 🤔

The Ferrari I would would have over both the 488 or 458 is the F12. It’s the best in terms of looks and sound for around the same price as the 488.

I love that 750S looks similar to 720S. Because it’s sad when brands prematurely trash their great designs for the sake of change (e.g. BMW).

My friends son took their v10 Bathurst

I genuinely don’t care that the 488 is a better car. I like the 458 more. It’s an awful car for maintenance and is much worse quality, but I really don’t care

52:10 For the record, here in the US I can still see Porsche spec prices for the GT3RS and their other products on the configurator

Why has sam got pink shoes

"1200 kilos without an engine" 😂😂😂😂

Just did a GT3 RS config and came out 238-239k, showing prices ok?

Tony, cover up those legs!

458 or 488, i'd be happy with either.

I agree with Tony and Sam re the 458 vs 488 debate having had both. ( incidentally both cars had all the carbon and the race seats.) IMO the 488 is a much better car in every way.

31:20 " fill the space tony" 😊

I 100% agree with the 488 over the 458. After driving the two the 488 is so much more car. The exhaust on the 458 is a bit annoying tbh.

The 488 not only had turbo issues but severe oil leak issues right off the truck. Some dealers didn't care to address the severity but the better dealers forced the issue to have the oil leaks taken care of before the cars were delivered to their clients.

The Porsche website worked for me just now speccing an RS guys, must have just been a glitch

I’m so sad that I am now becoming more interested new sport suv. There is no point in buying any of these new sport cars when they weigh as much as an SUV.

NA will always be better than turbo. Give YOUR head a wobble Tony instead of just sitting there looking like a Temu version of the old man from Up.

The porsche configurator does give you the price after speccing it up- Tony's spec came to around £240k...so around 60k less than the secondary market of an equivalent car. The Weissach pack costs £30k so is a huge option.

5500lbs!!!!!!

A 488 with the right exhaust is the way to go. Its so much faster in every way compared to a 458.. The ones with the biggest opinions are always the ones with the smallest wallets.

Like a lot when you 😂

Great review like u both said Toyota has not got the prestige of a Porsche but Toyota reliability and 10 year warranty sealed the deal for me hence why I bought one. Mine is a weekend car too and just 800 cars in the UK it always turns heads. Cracking video you guys just make me smile and glad Tony loved the car still love Porsche but for now loving the GR86

Lando's moves where carbon copies of the moves Max used to make in 20/21. the worst one was one before last. when land was ahead at the apex, max accelerated off the track to come alongside Lando then to claim over the radio that Lando drove him off the circuit.. anyway.. lets hope for more of the same this weekend. Lando is future world champ for sure.

I remember Sam mentioning about Zac Brown coming in a 288 GTO to the McLaren Factory. His video with Tom Hartley Jnr is pretty interesting to watch!

The simple fact is the majority prefer the 458, just because. Personal preferences, in the same way some of us, prefer, let me think…a 20 year old 360, or 360 CS over a 458

Yes yes please!

Hello one and all!!! M5 looks good!? Think you need to get down vision express Sam

in the US Porsche 911 GT3 RS load the same way Tony wanted cost $306,455.

Prices are on there for the GT3RS £224,297 with I think the options you said.

Its not an M5. Ugly, heavy, worse performance than the last one. BMW and Mercedes just don't get it.

I’ll be signing up next year for the tour in my gr Yaris if it continues!

Does any behind the glass fans have any automotive podcast recommendations? I only listen to this and spikes car radio. Now that collecting cars is gone, I could do with 1 or 2 more regulars to listen too

Love the new Continental GT, That just looks stunning.

488 pista surely has to be potentally one of the greats, Doesn't it??

Your second tour is still expensive hence the nice cars

The new M5 doesn’t need all that hybrid shite , the old M5 recipe worked why mess with it

458 Itaia vs 488 GTB: -- Looks are obviously subjective. Interiors are quite similar. -- The 488's turbo engine sound is more subdued and bassier. For Ferraristi, the 458 sounds more like a Ferrari should. That doesn't mean it is the pinnacle of Ferrari V8 sound! It's a demonsrable fact that both Tony and Sam favour the sound of cross-plane V8 turbos. While the 488's engine is flat-plane, it sounds closer to a cross-plane turbo than a n-a flat-plane V8. -- The 458 is more twitchy, whereas the 488 is much more stable on the road. -- Surprisingly, there's not much difference in performance. Both circa +-6s 0-100mph. 0-120mph is exactly the same at 8.9s. Similar top speed. That's despite the 488's massive increase in power and torque! -- The 488's turbo engine is bound to be more highly strung and surely destined to have turbo issues as it ages, and early examples are quickly heading for 10yo.

Sam, instead of constantly leaning forwards and away from the mic, just get the laptop and put it on your lap. It's called a laptop for a reason lol.

Sam, is your panamera a 6 cylinder? Not 8 as Tony mentioned a few times.

You should know better Tony. It's the VW Group, not the VW-Audi (or Audi-VW) group.

The US Porsche configurator still has the prices. I built that same GT3RS and it was $304k as specced, $241k base price.

5 months from now....ive bought a M5, girly scream and weird noises. This guy is so weird 😂

You could have 3 of the original Lotus Elises compared to the new M5 in weight 🤷‍♂️

If people haven’t owned a car stop parroting what everybody says about it..because half of it is internet nonsense..comment on weight, looks yeah but handling/ reliability..just stop.
