Are the days of thermal cars threatened? Very likely. And it is not for nothing that the European Union plans to ban their sale from 2035. A decision adopted by the European Parliament a few days ago, and which should really come into effect then. This is enough to worry both manufacturers, who have been preparing for this turning point for several years, and enthusiasts. Because if sales electric cars to continue progressing, the purists meanwhile do not want to hear about it.

A legendary trio

But the general public is not the only one who loves internal combustion cars. The journalist proves it Higher gear, Jack Rix, who brought together several influential personalities from the automotive world. In a video called The Ultimate Car Boss Chat he was able to chat with Christian von Koenigsegg, Gordon Murray and John Hennessy, three leaders with very different backgrounds. And the journalist asked them one question, in particular, which car they would choose for their last trip with a full tank of gas. And the answer of the Koenigsegg boss is, to put it mildly, surprising. Because he is far from thinking about choosing a supercar, even the opposite.

Passionate choice

Indeed, the businessman who, in particular, bought a Bugatti, did not choose the model of his brand. More willingly chooses Mazda MX-5. And not just any, but the very first generation that celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019. Makes sense when you know he bought one for his 19th birthday and still drives it every week. For his part, Gordon Murray chose McLaren F1and John Hennessey chooses an Oldsmobile Cutlass 442.
