On the road with a Mazda MX5 and the Genesis GV60. Do electric cars take the fun out of driving?
As enthusiasts many of us drive for fun. We love the sound of that engine, the pleasure of flicking through the gears, and the satisfaction of working with the dynamics of a well sorted combustion engined car. Protecting the planet will soon bring an end to all that, and we will soon mostly be driving electrically powered vehicles. In this video we tackle the question by driving both, not by way of back to back comparison as they are very different cars, but simply to find out which of the two ‘concepts’ gives greatest pleasure behind the wheel.

Porsche 911 (992) GT3

'This Porsche 911 (992) GT3 is about as pure as you’ll get to experiencing the limit of a road car that is equally a stonking performer on track.You buy this car with a purpose, and that is to drive it for fun. It may not have the everyday comfort of the 911 S, the ‘sweet-spot’ GTS, or even GT3s of old; we say that’s because the bar has been lifted once again, but can this GT3 do what its prede...

If you want to drive the ultimate BMW M240i, then it has to be the AC Schnitzer ACL2S. We took this astonishing car to Whittlebury Park in Towcester to give it an in-depth review. It is Number One of only thirty made to celebrate Schnitzer’s 30th anniversary, has numerous special features and was an award winner at the Essen Motor Show. The car has a Sport auto gearbox, and is the only four whe...
Dino 246 & Ferrari F8 Tributo - Driven by passion

Many of us, as car enthusiasts, have a favourite brand. For me, Ferraris’ have always been special, and it has been an absolute privilege to have driven so many of them over the years. My personal passion began with the Dino, Ferrari’s first mid-engined road car, and culminates in the very latest V8 twin turbo charged F8 Tributo. Here we drive both. With some 50 years separating them they are v...
Racing Puma - One of Ford's Best.
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.3 года назад
The Ford Racing Puma was a limited edition performance model building on the unexpected best selling popularity of the original Ford Puma. (1997-2002) Selling at £23,000, the Racing Puma was a hefty £10,000 more to buy over the standard car. Ford originally intended to make 1000 of these limited edition specials but in the end only made 500, and the one featured in our video was owned by our pr...
The New Ferrari Roma
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.3 года назад
Ferrari’s new Roma is a game changer for 2021. We were amongst the first to drive it in the UK on road and track and loved it! Whilst inevitably drawing comparison to the similarly front engined V8 Portofino, the Roma is a new and very different car, and a direct competitor to Porsche’s 911, Aston’s Vantage, and Bentley’s Continental GT. The Roma, however, does things ‘the Ferrari way’ and as w...

BMW M5 E39 - A Modern Classic This is our brief video of BMW's brilliant V8 engined E39 M5. Filmed some 21 years ago it was one of the official BMW test cars at the time, yet despite many competent successors this one still remains a favourite amongst BMW fans. It is good even to this day, and whilst this video isn't a typical road test review, just driving the E39 with attitude shows its chara...

1970 Maserati-powered Citroen SM - is it Wise to Meet your Heroes?
Просмотров 326 тыс.3 года назад
Exclusive review of this sensational Maserati powered Citroen SM. As a young boy, the Citroen SM was one of Kevin Haggarthy’s ultimate dream cars. In this video he drives the real thing to see if it matches up to the dream. Introduced in 1970, this car was unique - not only for its exceptional design and aerodynamics, but as the first Citroen to be powered by a Maserati engine. As well as inher...

The MotorOverload team finally got out and about at the Classic Car Drive In Weekend at Bicester Heritage - an absolute haven for spectacular cars, specialist car clubs, motor sports demonstrations, and even drive-in cinema. Kevin went looking for thoroughbred sports cars, Shahzad was in search of muscle cars and along the way they met amazing people from the clubs, watched art in action, got a...
That brought back some memories, as I drove one for a few hours a quarter of a century ago. It was 'other worldly' in so many respects, but it was the amazing suspension that really gripped my attention.
Two feet longer and wider - so not the same chassis then is it , Yes I have owned one and a lovely motor car !
9:11 lenth is a thumbs upper
hold up there guy , the headlights were first done on the tucker
Are they Alfa 105 coupe taillights?
1:26 : corner following head lamps were definitely not the first with the SM.
史上最低のオリンピックなのは誰にでもわかる。トランスジェンダーとかSDGSとかスポーツに持ち込むな
Beautiful ... Space ship ... 🚙👍🚀🛸🙏☯🎩♾
I remember going to Europe in the early 90’s after the fall. I laughed so hard when I saw my first Citreon, not that cars in the 90’s had all the best styles. Never seen an SM in person but man do I love it’s design more and more every time I see it
I keep watching this review just for Mr Kevin's Haggerthy's impeccable English.. oh and thank heavens and English Breakfast tea its nothing like those Clarkson clowns
didnt the maserati sm come out in 75?
The best Citroen produced was the 1974 DS23 Pallas. It was the best and most advance automobile ever produced in the world. The SM was basically terrible due to the garbage Maserati V-6 Engine. Cylinder Head Gasket failures were common at relatively low mileages. The 4 Cyl. Hemi Head Engine in the DS Series was able to achieve 120 mph with 5 adults in the car. 90% of all automotive videos on RUclips are fairly worthless. They fail illustrate why any specific vehicle is excellent from a Technical and Engineering aspect. Their stupid attention to a mundane details and alleged beauty is moronic. Opinion of beauty is subjective !
Sadly soon All Gas cars will be forbidden in EU ans USA!
Why would you open on the parts bin stuff? These cars are prettier than a Miura, and both more practical and less likely to catch fire. These are the most undervalued pedigree classics out there. And you can't have mine. 🎉 Oh, and you'd get better performance if you wore a less blingy watch. Add lightness.
CITROEN , c'est la 2CV avant le déclenchement de la seconde guerre , un design incroyable pour l'époque , ce fut aussi la TRACTION , ensuite , en 1955 , la DS , un ovni pour l'époque , la SM , un extraterrestre !! la CX , la GS , SM , la C5 et le navire amiral , la C6 , un paquebot qui se conduit comme un ROLLS ROYCE , mais il y a eu la ZX , la XANTIA ACTIVA V6 qui est la seule voiture au monde a viré à plat !! grâce à des vérins qui poussaient la caisse
Affordability is one thing, that eases with time, but the other problem that only gets worse, is maintenance. This car would be impossible to maintain in the US, and likely veey expensive to insure.
this is CLASS
This is Technolgie Porno
I used to drive a silver SM (ODP 591M) back in the late 70s in the West End of London. It's wonderful to drive and a real head turner. My all time favourite car.
You akso could have tried a Leyland Princess 2200 HLS
The gentleman seems to be a bit cramped into the foot space
Ugly car
Man... I do miss big Citroëns. This, the DS, the CX and even more recent cars like the XM or C6 were just so... French ... and different.
I've only ever seen this car in silver and/or possibly bronze. But looks absolutely stunning in dark blue! 👍👍
Imo Citroën should have put the initial V8 in it and should have offered an automatic. This V6 could have been used in a top level DS and later CX. Sadly the oil crisis of 1973 spoiler the fun.
Lucky man .
It has everything. Style, pace, awesome innovative engineering, and it's even practical too. Pity it's so damned complicated if anything were to go wrong.
C est simple si elle rebondit c est que les sphère hydraulique sont fatiguer très simple à changer vue qu elle passe la majorité à l arrêt alors que c est un avion pour la route ❤
Stunning car and a stunning colour too. Its classy and brilliant. Amazing what Citroen achived with this at the time.
Yeah! I also had a Citroën SM as a model, even behind the Iron Curtain! 😃👍 It was not a matchbox-sized car but a bigger one with more details in gold metallic (10 cm or 4" and heavy). I liked this model even before knowing that this car existed in reality. When I was a kid it was just a precious toy. Maybe I will drive it one day? 😉
Wow. This clip has "old Top Gear" written all over it!
I love the color of your SM !!
A great review, Kevin. You're the kind of dapper gent I can see behind the wheel of something Avant Garde like the SM on a daily basis.
I think this may be my favorite car of all time. I think they should give it to you!
Excellent, inspiring review! Well done!
Beautiful front....like it was designed by Gerry Anderson.
In my young days, driving through Morocco through Atlas Mountains at steady 50MPH when a fleet of Police outsiders at huge speed in front of bright red Citroën SM driven by King of Morocco flashed past, pushing us off the road. Wow...hugely impressive. Very desirable car
Currently resurrecting my late father's 71 +2s. Absolutely can not wait to get behind the wheel and enjoy it. Childhood dream of mine to do so. In the meantime videos like these will have to do!!
What a shame it''s not yellow.
Sadly soon all gas cars will be illegal in USA and EU!
NON DIMENTICATE ,CHE IL CUORE E MASERATI ITALIA. FERRARI , E LAMBORGHINI MIURA.
when we use lees force on brake pedal and get more power while stopping the car,why dont we get same results from engine with less input to engine and more power output from engine.Secondly I suggest a powerful fan 16 inch with a powerful electric motor fixed on top of car ppushing the air backwards which will give atleast 5 % push to moving car.Experiment be done with two cars ruuning for 1 km one without fan on car top and the other having fan on its top.I think the car having electric fan on its top will cover more distance than the other car.But this can be economical on moving on highways.
Thanks for a very incisive lesson in ICE vs BEV fun. Your insight on adaptability is the key. Thanks. Larry Dishman in Allen, TX USA
Thanks so much Larry - really appreciate your comments! 👍🏼
Wonderful video ❤
I drive large commercial trucks for a living (a ‘99 MX-5 for fun!) and the regenerative braking effect of the EV reminds of how the engine brake feels in the truck, which retards combustion within the engine, helping to slow the entire vehicle. This can be used to drive the truck with a certain ebb and flow that you described quite well. Great video.
Great video, I'm very lucky to have one and i totally agree with you.😊
Like to seen run at night see them lites work
I have the same Gorgitoys model of the Citroen SM. It is still my favorite toy car.
The shape is still beautiful and the Cx is better than anything on the road today. The hydropneumatic suspension is unequalled, Could the car be produced today for around $50,000? I'd be first in line.
A gorgeous car
