23 Feb 2022Devin Sportscars with Kevin Callahan00:34:59

In the late 1940s, a maverick named Bill Devin caught the racing bug and soon decided he could build his own world-class sports car using the new miracle material of fiberglass. By 1955 the Devin became a popular choice for club racing and custom builds. Now the Devin legacy has been passed on to Kevin Callahan, a Pennsylvania enthusiast who is breathing new life into this classic American sports car. Kevin talks with Maurice about the fascinating past and promising future of the brand.

23 Mar 2022Racing's Darkest Day: LeMans, 195500:25:52

The "Golden Age of Auto Racing" began after World War II and lasted until the early Seventies. It's a period that is frequently romanticized.

 But that thin veneer was shattered on the afternoon of June 11, 1955, when a catastrophic collision caused the deaths of Mercedes-Benz driver Pierre Levegh and at least 83 spectators. Here's the story of that terrible day and its aftermath.

06 Apr 2022Classical Mastery: David Brown Automotive00:41:44

After a long and successful career as a heavy equipment manufacturer and serial entrepreneur, car enthusiast David Brown set out to create something different: he took all the things he loves about classic automobiles and combined them with modern comfort, safety and reliability. The result was a car called the Speedback GT. 

Following this ethos, David Brown then approached the classic Mini in the same way. They call it the "Mini Remastered": All the genius of Alec Issigonis' original design but painstakingly handcrafted for today.

In this episode Maurice talks with Michelle Gay of David Brown Automotive and Ryan Watson of Bespoke Imports Group, which is now bringing the cars to North America.

18 May 2022Behind the Lens of Ed Justice, Jr.00:59:18

Ed Justice, Jr. is a longtime motorsport photographer whose family has been involved in racing for over seventy years.

Their story begins in the midwest before World War II where Ed's father and two uncles, Zeke and Gus, built a midget racer. Eventually they moved to Southern California where they built race cars for Frank Kurtis of Kurtis-Kraft and soon became the entrepreneurs behind the Justice Brothers brand of oil additives, lubricants and other products.

Justice Brothers  sponsored the winning car at the 1950 Indy 500 and the company's red, white and blue logo has been worn by countless entries in racing ever since that time.

In this episode, Ed and Maurice talk about that remarkable family history as well as Ed's photo career, his reflections on Indy, his relationship with legends like A. J. Foyt, and other great stories.

14 Dec 2022Auto America: The Photography of John G. Zimmerman00:47:37

For over two decades, photographer John G. Zimmerman covered various automotive-related assignments for magazines like Sports Illustrated, The Saturday Evening Post, Life, and others.

A new book, "Auto America: Car Culture 1950s-1970s" celebrates his work in all its Kodachrome and black-and-white glory. 

Many of these images have never been published. From the heyday of Detroit to racing circuits and the people who built them, the cars come alive once again.

This is the story behind the book, the man, and his photos as told by his children, Linda and Darryl Zimmerman.

25 Jan 2023The Mighty Merlin00:33:41

Of all the internal combustion engines ever built,  the Rolls-Royce Merlin,  a 27-liter supercharged V-12 that powered fighters, bombers, boats and tanks, is arguably one of the most famous in history.

Developed on the eve of World War II, the Merlin helped win the Battle of Britain and eventually the liberation of an enslaved Europe. It was manufactured on both sides of the Atlantic by two of the finest carmakers in the world. This is the story of how it was developed, and what it meant to the many (and the few).

08 Feb 2023Jeremy Porter/Atlanta Motorsports Park01:12:43

"Don't build a racetrack", says Jeremy Porter, but that's just what he did.

As a dirt biker and then a kart racer, Jeremy had the need for speed. And he had some big ideas about the race track experience- what he could do bigger and better.

As  the Creator and CEO of Atlanta Motorsports Park, he took his business savvy and love for racing and built a playground for fellow speed freaks of all ages.
It's not just a track, it's a home away from home for like-minded souls.

It was a crazy thing to dream up, let alone attempt for real. This is the story of how he made it happen.

19 Apr 2023The Two Generations Collection With Evan Ide00:47:38

With so much incredible performance available in everyday cars today, the first great era of the motorcar is often overlooked.

But in fact, most of the technology we take for granted was developed by about 1915.  Many "Brass Era" cars- those produced from about 1903 to 1915- were not only solid performers, but also exceptionally well-engineered and built.

The Two Generations Collection holds many great examples of such machines, and it's being auctioned by Bonhams on April 29.  A father and son team assembled this collection over a period of six decades and now it's being sent on to a new group of enthiusiasts.

The auction kicks off another terrific event, the Second Annual Audrain Veteran Car Tour in Newport Rhode Island. In this episode, Bonhams Senior Specialist Evan Ide talks about some highlights of the auction as well as the distinct flavor and excitement  of touring in these veteran cars.

07 Jun 2023A Century of Le Mans- with Richard Williams01:21:09

In May 1923, thirty-seven cars roared away into history as the first competitors in a daunting new race held in a small French country town.

It was an obscure village called Le Mans- inhabited since before the Romans- but soon the entire world would know this place, and the cars and drivers who propelled into glory as the most important endurance race ever conceived.

Richard Williams has made his career as an editor and sports writer (The Guardian, The Times of London) as well as an accomplished author of motorsport history.

His book "24 Hours: 100 Years of Le Mans" traces the history of the people and machines that have captured the imagination of millions of racing fans and made the fortunes of brands like Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche and Ferrari.

In this episode, Richard discusses just some of the infinite stories of triumph and tragedy at Le Mans.

28 Jun 2023Dan Kahn: Capturing Car Culture01:28:16

There are many ways to carve a career out of your automotive passions, but Dan Kahn saw new possibilities when the world began to make digital communication the norm.

Dan worked the parts counter at a speed shop, built his own classic Mustang, and became a rookie writer for numerous car magazines. 

Along the way, he saw huge opportunities to communicate with like-minded people and represent many players in the industry. He founded Kahn Media at a time when e-commerce and social media were just peeking over the horizon.

Today, Kahn Media handles some of the biggest OEM, aftermarket and luxury lifestyle brands, reaching millions of people each year and helping to shape car culture and more. But Dan will always be "a hardcore car guy"- and he's still driven by the same excitement we all have for our machines.

12 Jul 2023The HWM Story with Simon Taylor & Guy Jenner01:13:25

In 1949, a determined pair of Englishmen took on the whole of Grand Prix racing with their new little cars, and they were the first British Formula team to make the scene at the dawn of a new era.

John Heath and George Abecassis built precious few machines, and their efforts are largely unknown today... but the story of their HWM racing team is a fascinating and often surprising one.

Simon Taylor enjoyed a long and successful career in publishing and motorsport broadcasting. His two-volume book "John, George and the HWMS" is the definitive work on this subject.

Guy Jenner is the CEO of HWM Aston-Martin Limited, the world's oldest Aston Martin dealer. His career has allowed him to trade in (and enjoy) some of the most sporting automobiles ever built.

26 Jul 2023Richard Worsham of Janus Motorcycles01:04:18

In Northern Indiana, a team of happy folks build single cylinder machines that combine vintage appeal with modern technology.

Richard Worsham is the man behind Janus Motorcycles, and his philosophy is all about the fun and freedom of riding an easy, unfussy bike.

He founded the company straight out of college- the first was a 50cc model. Janus now makes a 250 and a 450, each with styling cues and riding position reminiscent of motorcycles of the Teens and Twenties.

Local suppliers and craftsmen are important to their success, as is a sturdy and proven engine design. If you've ever lusted after a vintage bike but don't want the hassle of taking care of an old machine, this might be your ticket to ride.

We're celebrating the Third Anniversary of Horsepower Heritage. Thanks for being a great audience. Please donate to the podcast at the link below and make sure you’re following the show on your favorite podcast app.

01 Nov 2023The Auction Insider- with David Gooding00:57:02

There was a time when you could find a slightly scruffy Ferrari 250 for sale in a tiny ad at the back of your favorite car magazine- at an asking price of a few thousand dollars.

Today, those same cars change hands under the bright lights of an auction tent, and the whole car world is watching them command millions of dollars.

It's a big business, but it wouldn't exist without the seemingly boundless devotion of buyers eager to own and drive these machines. "What price glory?" they might say.

David Gooding is the founder of Gooding & Company. He's been an enthusiast, collector and purveyor of the world's finest automobiles for decades.

In this episode, he returns to the show to give an insider's perspective on a year's worth of auctions, highlighting some particular cars and what makes them great- as well as some insights on valuations, buying and selling, and the sometimes unpredictable moves in the market.

30 Nov 2023Don Nichols: Inside NASA01:48:57

There are few men left who could sit down and give you a detailed first-hand account of the entire U.S. Space Program.

Don Nichols was a NASA insider who began his  career during the Mercury program (the first manned U.S. space flights) and retired while the Space Shuttle was still the world's dominant form of manned orbital flight.

Nichols worked on Cold War era fighter-interceptors, the X-15 rocket plane, the guidance system for the Pershing missile,  and all the way to the mighty Saturn rocket that pushed the Apollo capsules to the moon as if it were the hand of God.

Nichols was a player in America's cutting edge aerospace technology for decades. This conversation is a fascinating and detailed breakdown of man's greatest achievement: the conquest of outer space.

20 Dec 2023Ferrari On Film with Robert Nagle00:27:23

Over twenty years ago,  director Michael Mann began to think about bringing the story of Enzo Ferrari to the silver screen.

It's probably the most anticipated film of 2023- a look into the personal life of  the notoriously private Enzo (played by Adam Driver) and his wife Laura (Penelope Cruz), framed by the backdrop of the 1957 running of the Mille Miglia: the grueling thousand-mile Italian road race

When it came to capturing the thrill and brutality of racing on film, there was only one person Mann could trust with the task:  stunt coordinator Robert Nagle.

Robert's resume is impressive. He's an Academy Award winner, and the maestro behind car stunts in films like Baby Driver, John Wick, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Gran Turismo, Ford v. Ferrari and more.

In this episode, Robert takes us behind-the-scenes of Ferrari and shares his insights on the art of driving fast on film.

03 Jan 2024The Ferrari F40: Enzo's Last Stand00:23:56

This one's from the vault- but updated and re-recorded with new details!

The new film "FERRARI" looks at Enzo Ferrari in the middle of his life, when the company he built was only ten years old. But the story of his final days is worth a new look.


Enzo Ferrari built his machines to race and win- and they became the world's most renowned sports cars, coveted by the rich and famous.

But when he lost full control of his company in 1969, the cars slowly began to lose their competition-bred character.  He decided to do something about it.

Near the end of his life, Enzo Ferrari ensured the creation of  the raw, uncompromising, 200 mile per hour F40- and he trusted one man to help him.

This is the story of Enzo's last stand.

13 Mar 2024General Motors Dream Cars with Joe Bortz01:01:49

In the 1950s, General Motors culminated its industry dominance with an annual traveling exhibition know as the Motorama, showcasing the very latest trends in styling, engineering and modern conveniences. However, once they were done on the show circuit, the cars were marked for destruction.

Fortunately, many of these marvels escaped that fate, and their eventual savior was Joe Bortz.

As a kid growing up in suburban Chicago, Joe was fascinated by cars he saw in the neighborhood dealerships. He went on to become a prolific collector of many cars, but especially the Dream Cars.

Now they're being shown to the world in a new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles entitled "General Motors' Marvelous Motorama: Dream Cars from the Joe Bortz Auto Collection".

08 May 2024Sinuhe Xavier: Tranquilo Trails01:32:07

The wide open spaces of the American West- especially the deserts- have always held a special appeal.

Sinuhe Xavier knows this well. He's explored thousands of square miles, mostly in Land Rovers, while at the same time writing, photographing and filming the landscape and its secrets.

He's skied professionally, ridden motorcycles in South America, crossed Morocco in a 4x4, and directed many television commercials to pay the bills. But it always comes back to wanderlust and the next adventure.

In this episode, Maurice talks overlanding and other things with Sinuhe (and his son, Cooper). It's tranquilo.

05 Jun 2024Bob Gurr: Designing Dreams01:13:19

Although he had a legendary career as a Disney Imagineer, Bob Gurr originally trained in automotive design. 

In his youth, Bob was a hot rodder and custom guy. He attended Art Center and was hired by Ford Motor Company before deciding to leave Detroit and make his living back in California, helping to conceive and build an entirely new world of wonders called Disneyland...but he's never lost his love of cars. 

Recently Bob sat down with Maurice (and Bobby Green of The Old Crow Speed Shop) to look back on his lifelong fascination with cars and design.

31 Jul 2024Racing "Le Monstre" with Derek Drinkwater00:54:02

Car builder, fabricator, collector, entrepreneur, TV presenter and racing driver are but a few of the things you'll find on Derek Drinkwater's resumé. He's always been interested in cars but one the really captivted him was the slab-sided Cadillac Series 61 special entered by American  Sportsman Briggs Cunningham in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

It was unlike anything ever raced at LeMans, and the Americans were certainly a spectacle.

It was a fairly stock 1950 Cadillac custom-skinned by Grumman Aircraft Company of Long Island, New York, and when the French race fans saw it, they dubbed it "Le Monstre". 

The nickname turned out to be a sign of affection, and the 331 cubic-inch V8 powered beast finished eleventh overall (its sister ship, a stock Series 61 coupe was nicknamed "Petit Pataud", or "Little Clumsy", finished tenth).

Derek has now raced his Le Monstre replica at Le Mans Classic, Daytona Classic, Laguna Seca, Road America and Watkins Glen. In Part One of the story he tells how he built it and began to fettle it on the track.

14 Aug 2024Impossible Journey: Peking to Paris, 1907 (With Kassia St. Clair)01:10:41

The early days of the motorcar were troublesome, frustrating, and most of all, adventurous- if you agree that "adventure" by definition means there's a chance of risking life and limb. 

And why else would mankind attempt what might seem like folly or futility, other than for the excitement that adventure brings?

Such was the case with the 1907 Peking to Paris Motorcar Challenge, a stunt invented by a Paris newspaper and embraced by a motley bunch of daring automobilists: 8000 miles across tractless wastes and deep mire, pushing men and machines to the limit.

Kassia St. Clair has written a rousing account of it all entitled "The Race to the Future: 8,000 Miles to Paris - The Adventure That Accelerated the Twentieth Century".

And now, she's here to tell you about it.

28 Aug 2024The Mighty Merlin (Encore Episode)00:35:57

Of all the internal combustion engines ever built,  the Rolls-Royce Merlin,  a 27-liter supercharged V-12 that powered fighters, bombers, boats and tanks, is arguably one of the most famous in history.

Developed on the eve of World War II, the Merlin helped win the Battle of Britain and eventually the liberation of an enslaved Europe. It was manufactured on both sides of the Atlantic by two of the finest carmakers in the world. This is the story of how it was developed, and what it meant to the many (and the few).

23 Oct 2024Brandon Hegedus, Master Craftsman01:07:28

In a suburban garage in Alberta, Canada, Brandon Hegedus builds eye-popping replicas of some of the world's rarest and most desirable performance cars.

We're talking cars that virtually no one can own because they are either so rare or valuable that the only option is to recreate them.

It all started as a personal challenge to replicate a 1961 Ferrari Tipo 156 "Sharknose" Formula 1 car (the originals no longer exist).

Using modern materials like carbon fiber, Brandon recreated the iconic Sharknose bodywork. Underneath, he used modern mechanicals that approximated the original performance of the Tipo 156, all tied to a scratch built frame. The result was a screamer of a car with stunning looks.

That first build got the attention of the media and created fantastic opportunities. Brandon is now a full-time builder who's bringing his clients' dream cars to life.

20 Nov 2024TALES from the JUNKYARD with Jonas Lach and Daniel Harrison01:16:01

Let us take you inside one of the most bizarre classic car auctions ever: RM Sotheby's JUNKYARD Auction  (AKA the Rudi Klein Collection).

For decades, the reclusive Mr. Klein tucked away scores of desirable European sports cars. His Los Angeles salvage yard, "Porche Foreign Auto", was known for harboring hundreds of rare machines behind its walls, many of which had met with an untimely end- smashed seemingly beyond repair. But the decades of dry storage paid off, because most went far beyond their one-time scrap value in what was certainly one of the most unlikely auctions in the history of classic car culture.

In this episode, Jonas Lach of Jonny's Garage and Daniel Harrison of Limit 55 join Maurice to recount their impression of the Junkyard, as well as sharing their personal car stories and how they see the future of the hobby.

06 Dec 2024Ferrari 330 GTC: The Story of a Thoroughbred01:14:08

The rearing horse emblem of Ferrari is meant to suggest a taut, muscular thoroughbred, straining at the reins, snorting and ready to bolt.
After all, that's what you want in a race horse: and pure specimen on the edge of control. And for years, that's what Ferrari's customers got when they were handed the keys of a new road car- under that sexy coachwork was a race-bred machine.

But there came a time when the firm's patrons wanted more refinement and sophistication. That car came in 1966 as the Ferrari 330 GTC. Soon it was proclaimed the finest Ferrari road car ever built.

In this episode, author Maurice Khawam discusses his new book, "Ferrari 330 GTC: Elegance and Pedigree". It's an exhaustive and painstaking work that will long serve as a reference for restorers, collectors and concours judges, as well as those who seek to understand the history of the Ferrari brand and the talented individuals behind it.

18 Dec 2024Dan Gurney: The All-American Racer (with Kip Cyprus and Justin Gurney)00:53:38

Daniel Sexton Gurney (1931-2018) was a Southern California Hot-Rodder who became one of the most successful racing drivers in the history of motorsport, with wins in Saloon Car, Sports Car, NASCAR, Indy Car and Formula One.

Gurney raced for the Arciero Brothers, Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team, Ferrari, Brabham, BRM and Porsche before teaming up with Carroll Shelby to found All American Racers in 1964.

Gurney was always seeking out men of motorsport at the top of their game: he collaborated with Colin Chapman of Lotus, engine maestro Harry Weslake, and the ambitious cadre at Ford Motor Company, who were intent on taking on the world's best.

Gurney helped to pioneer the rear engine layout at the Indianapolis 500, spelling the end of Indy's Roadster Era in Champ Car racing, and AAR fielded the Gurney Eagle Formula One chassis for the first time in 1966.

1967 was a banner year for Gurney, winning the Belgian Grand Prix in the Eagle Mk1- the first Grand Prix win for an American constructor since 1921. He also won overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with his co-driver A.J. Foyt in the Ford GT 40 Mk IV.

Gurney retired as a driver in 1970, but continued to operate All American Racers for the rest of his life, famously partnering with Toyota in IMSA-GT and CART.

As a driver, Dan Gurney chalked up 63 victories over all motorsport categories, and All American Racers achieved 78 total wins as a constructor. His influence and contributions in the world of motor racing continue to inspire the next generation.

In this episode, Maurice sits down Dan's son, Justin Gurney, and car collector Kip Cyprus to talk all about the life and times of a true motorsport legend.

24 Mar 2025The Virtual Car Collection00:45:50

Let's be honest: we all spend way too much time online looking at cars for sale, right? It's irresistible. It's almost as if we're building a "virtual" car collection. 

And that's the whole idea behind this episode- pick some cars to suit a few different needs and see what it might cost to put them all in your garage. 

But an unlimited budget would make this easy- so keep it reasonable. You don't have to be rich to have fun with cars.

It's also a venue for many signature motorsport-themed events each year, including the Flat Six Fest featuring historic competition Porsches.

16 Apr 2025Fueling the Future (with Rob McGinnis of Prometheus Fuels)01:01:52

Gasoline, Diesel and even jet fuel made out of thin air- it sounds like science fiction, but it's now a reality. 

Rob McGinnis and his team at Prometheus Fuels in Santa Cruz, California have developed a way to extract the elemental building blocks from the atmosphere and turn it into synthetic hydrocarbons that can then be formulated into just about any fuel you want. 

They say they'll beat the current price you see at the pump, and the process is carbon neutral, relying on what's already swirling around us. This could be the future of fuel!
