Corvette Z06 review: The most powerful NA V8 in the WORLD!

Meet the new Corvette Z06!

It’s the hardcore, track-focused version of the regular C8 Corvette, and Mat’s about to find out just what’s changed over the standard car.

Starting with the design, there’s more than just some new badging to help the Z06 stand out from the regular C8. Up front there are some bigger air intakes (to help cool the bigger radiators) along with a larger, protruding splitter. Along the side the wheel arches stick out further to help house the larger & wider wheels, while there’s also extended side skirts and bigger air intakes. Then around the back, the twin tailpipes from the C8 have been brought together to make quad tailpipes in the centre of the car, and a gurney flap has also been added to the rear spoiler.

It’s a different story on the inside, though, with only a handful of changes to be found. The steering wheel now comes with Z06 badging, and it’s possible to upgrade it to include some carbon fibre. Some new figure-hugging sports seats have been added, and there are Z06 kick plates on either side… But that’s your lot! Otherwise, it’s the same as the regular C8.

But of course, the biggest change comes with the engine. Despite the Z06 having a smaller-sized engine than the C8 (with the 6.2-litre NA V8 swapping for a 5.5-litre NA V8), it has so much more power. You see, this is no regular V8… Chevrolet have taken a Ferrari 458 engine, reverse-engineered it, and given it 100hp more. As a result, the Z06 pumps out an eye-watering 670hp, making it the most powerful naturally-aspirated V8 in the world!!

The Z06 starts from around $100,000, which is around $40,000 more than the regular C8 Corvette. So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Audi TT RS Iconic Edition review: The end of an era!

The time has come for Mat to say goodbye to the Audi TT RS!

He’s got his hands on the new Audi TT RS Iconic Edition - a limited-edition TT which is the last one Audi will ever produce! The question is, does this last-ever TT RS do its predecessors justice?!

Well when it comes to the design, there are a few notable changes. Starting around the back the Iconic Edition comes equipped with a huge carbon fibre spoiler which is mounted to the car with a swan neck design. The rear diffuser has also become more pronounced and has had carbon added to it. Around the side, there are extended side skirts, and at the front, there’s an extended splitter, more additional carbon, and matrix LED headlights now come as standard.

So there are a couple of notable additions to the outside, but it’s a different story on the inside! The TT RS Iconic Edition comes with the RS styling pack, although whereas this would normally lead to the inclusion of red stitching throughout the car, in this instance it’s coloured yellow… And that’s it! Otherwise, the interior is just the same as a regular TT RS.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any changes to be found under the bonnet either! Lift up the hood and you’ll find the same 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo as in a regular TT RS, with the power output also remaining the same, at 400hp and 480Nm. In terms of the chassis, it has been lowered slightly and comes equipped with stiffer suspension, but otherwise, the car pretty much matches the regular edition.

So there are a few changes, but nothing huge. So that begs the question - is it really worth the eye-watering £87,650 price tag?! And keep in mind, that’s £27,000 more than a regular TT RS! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

AMG SL 55 v 911 GTS: Which is best?

But what happens if you’re in the market for one and can’t decide which to choose? Well, Mat’s here to help you make that decision!

So let’s see how the two compare, starting with the design. The new SL 55 rolls up with a super aggressive front end, with a big AMG grille straddling the centre with big air vents on either side. It’s a bit tamer around the back, but at least you get quad-tailpipes with it. As for the Porsche, it has the traditional sloping bonnet up front for that classic 911 look. The rear end’s a bit large, but that’s what you expect when you choose a convertible.

One thing these cars both have in common is the quality of the interior. The AMG comes with its customary jet engine-style air vents, good-quality materials throughout, as well as a huge infotainment screen in the centre. You’ll also find carbon fibre trim on the centre console. As for the Porsche, it’s also made with high-quality materials throughout, and in our opinion has a slightly better build quality. The dials also look absolutely gorgeous!

But of course, it’s not all about style… Sports cars need to have performance, and neither of these cars is lacking in that department! The Porsche is powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo flat-six that can deliver 480hp and 570Nm of torque. As for the AMG, it’s housing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that can deliver 476hp and 700Nm. However, whereas the Porsche only drives the rear wheels, the AMG sends power to all four!

When it comes to the price, the Porsche comes in at just under £125,000, although if you spend £6,000 more you can get it with AWD. As for the AMG, it’s a whole lot more expensive, coming in at over £147,000!

So is it worth splashing more cash on the AMG? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

This Entrepreneur Is Scrubbing CO2 From The Atmosphere By Giving Rocks "Superpowers" | Forbes

Here’s a cool idea: Use hot rocks to fight global warming. Heirloom superheats limestone to extract its CO2 and stores the gas far underground. The treated mineral then acts like a wrung-out sponge, reabsorbing greenhouse gases from the air. “We give rocks superpowers to scrub CO2 out of our atmosphere,” says Noah McQueen, who earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. McQueen and cofounder Shashank Samala have raised a $53 million round and signed carbon offset deals with tech giants Microsoft, Stripe and Shopify.

The most hi-tech car I've ever driven!

Meet the most luxurious, hi-tech cars BMW has ever released - the new BMW 7 Series & BMW i7! Mat’s flown over to America to get his hands on these two luxurious limos to give them a full-blown, proper in-depth review!

Let’s start with a look at the design. One thing’s for sure, from the back and the side, there’s no hiding that this is clearly a 7 Series. Sure there have been a few design upgrades over the previous generation, but the side and rear profile are quite clearly in the traditional 7 Series mold.

But of course, it’s up top where things get interesting, with an absolutely massive double kidney grille that dominates the front end. Combine this with the split headlight design on either side, and you've got yourself one car that will definitely turn heads!

Once you step inside, you are treated to a cabin absolutely full of high-quality materials, including leather & carbon on the dash, soft-touch felt on the roof, and super comfortable cashmere seats. You’ll also find the same swooping infotainment screen as in the new iX.

But of course, the main feature of this interior is the huge 31-inch 8K cinema screen in the back! This thing is absolutely insane, and when you combine it with the ability to fully recline the seats in the back, there’s no denying that this is pretty much the best bit of technology we’ve got our hands on in any car… EVER!

When it comes to performance, the range-topping BMW i7 60 comes with two electric motors to deliver 544hp and 745Nm of torque. It comes with a 102kWh battery pack that’s good for a claimed range of 388 miles. As for the BMW 7 Series, it comes with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers an almost identical 544hp and 750Nm.

As for the price, the 7 Series starts at £102,000, while the i7 starts at £108,000. But are they both worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!
