American Muscle for the price of a Golf: Corvette Stingray LT3 versus Mustang GT350 Cobra
Two true American muscle cars which are priced in the same range as a well equiped Golf GTI Clubsport or Golf R…… The mid engined Corvette (…) with quick shifting dual clutch automatic gearbox and close to 500 horsepower versus the manual 6 speed 'stickshift' Mustang with flat-plane cranck V8 delivering 526 PS. Both cars cars have very low milage and retailing for just over US $75.000,- and to be honest that's a steal! Which car would you love to drive in Europe? Paul van Splunteren (1957) has over 40 years of experience in the automotive industry and was responsible for Porsche at the Dutch importer Pon for many years. If there is a discussion about cars it is not complete without his opinion – which he regularly shares with you in the "Even Rijden Met" podcast. Max van Splunteren (1995), Paul’s son, is not only an experienced Porsche Supercup driver but also a tech enthusiast with a background in Aerospace Engineering. In the podcast, he shares his technical insights and passion for speed. Upon request of international friends we have decided to make a couple of podcasts in English/American (although with subtitles on YouTube!).It felt very apropriate during our speeddates in the US with three sets of cars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An electric Rolls or a petrol one: the Rolls Royce Ghost II versus Rolls Royce Spectre
Max and Paul are on a quest: What is the ultimate drivetrain for a Rolls Royce? The enthousiasm for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) cooled down a little in the last couple of years. Rolls Royce was however the first to introduce a super luxury vehicle with a big battery. The Brits were going all-in with the Spectre in 2024, instant power with 585 PS and 900 Nm of torque. They also just launched the renewed Ghost II with its magnificant 6.75 l twin turbo V12 with a lazy 563 pk and 850 Nm of torque which they further enhanced to make it if more seamless. What do you choose? Paul van Splunteren (1957) has over 40 years of experience in the automotive industry and was responsible for Porsche at the Dutch importer Pon for many years.

Driving the Aston Martin Vanquish and the McLaren 750 S #evenrijdenmet
Two very diferent supercars, one is the true Grand Tourismo with one of the rare twin turbo V12's left on the planet. The V12 is churning out 835 PS and 1000 Nm of torque, the other is very sporty 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 with 750 PS and 800 Nm of torque. Both supercars are built by F1 teams, who still loose money while doing it. Which one makes the more interesting roadcar which gets under your skin? For both you do need to spend more or less half a million to own one of these…… Paul van Splunteren (1957) has over 40 years of experience in the automotive industry and was responsible for Porsche at the Dutch importer Pon for many years.
