The Hidden Mastermind Behind Street Cars
Manage episode 466378808 series 3643131
We had the honor of talking with Ryan Robinson, a former Engineering Test Driver for Tesla, Rivian, Mecerdes-Benz AMG, etc. He is amongst a secret circle of professionals who perform tests on pre-released street cars and give feedback to manufacturers before the official debut. Undoubtedly, Ryan is one of the masterminds behind the tuning, safety features, and autonomous driving capabilities of the modern cars on the road today. He is our unsung hero.
In this candid episode, Ryan reveals his top 3 favorite car manufacturers, as well as the cars he personally owns and would recommend to those who are new to performance driving. We will also talk about the best cars to bring to a date that would increase the chance of mating, the myth of modifying cars, factory demo cars, Tesla's quality control, behind-the-scenes crash tests, used car buying, and the ways to get in touch with Ryan.
Listen in on this unique never-before-seen discussion with an insider of the car industry!
