Show Notes
What happens when you're let loose inside Girardo & Co with an unlimited budget to build the ultimate two-car garage?
As you may now, Girardo & Co is one of the most prestigious car sellers in existence, with a showroom packed full of unobtainium that only a handful of the world's wealthiest individuals can afford. Fortunately, they invited PistonHeads along for an evening of story telling, food munching and podcasting for our new and exclusive club: 98 Collective.
Here's how it all went down...

Both production versions are now out, and the public reaction could not be more different. Which ultra-controversial luxury EV did it best?
You canāt blame Renault for doing a good job with the R5, nor can you blame them for following it up with the R4, the Turbo 3E and rebooted Twingo. But now everyone wants a piece of the action, and itās getting a bit muchā¦
You'd be forgiven for thinking that the lightweight British sports car had gone the way of the dinosaurs, but there are still plenty of brands keeping the dream alive.
The Bentley Torcal may not be the worldās first luxury EV, but it could open the floodgates for others to follow.You can argue all day about who came up with the first, though itād be hard to argue against the Rolls-Royce Spectre. The company was once famous for its buttery-smooth V12s now selling battery-powered coupes in droves, so itās little wonder why Bentley has followed suite. Of course, the Torcal uses the same underpinnings as the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q6 e-tron, and in S guise can put out up to 888hp and go from 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds. Thatās supercar performance from a 2.8 tonne SUV. With the Torcal joining the Spectre in the ultra-plush electric club, it does make you wonder whether luxury buyer interest in highly-intricate combustion engines has all but vanished. Good thing, then, you can still pick up a big luxury barge with a big wafty engine for peanuts these days, with this weekās challenge featuring a V8 BMW 7 Series and a Maserati Quattroporte for well under Ā£10k. šļø Sell your car on PistonHeads auctions: https://www.pistonheads.com/sell/auctionsChapters:0:00 Intro3:51 news roundup8:24 Bentley Torcal32:03 Ā£8k luxury barge challenge48:17 Does the Torcal look like a Jaecoo?

Itās been many, many decades, but the Jensen Interceptor name is back. Only this time, itās a humungous, track-only V8 luxury barge. Confused?
