Andreas has designed for Bentley, Porsche, Audi, and VW, and in the episode, he works through his fantastic story, following in his father's footsteps, who designed for VW in the 1970s.Expect more from Khyzyl in the near future in an additional podcast in which we'll complete his story and bring more content from his latest venture, Fuze Studios._______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews in which we explore our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.

It's the last episode of Season 1, and the team has been very busy driving on all sides of the globe. Amy has been battling the mean streets of Greece in a Porsche 911. Miles has been battling the mean streets of Australia in a Porsche 911, and John has been battling the mean streets of Italy in a... Fiat PandaIn addition to the very unbalanced driving comparisons, John has once again fallen in love with our Land Rover Defender thanks to some steel wheels and Falken Tyres and is trying to work out what on earth to do with a Ducati Multistrada V4S this week.Amy has been enjoying the Monaco Historic GP, ⁠Driving Porsches in Greece, Photographing an RS Williams Aston Martin and visiting the Bike Shed Show in London.Miles has been Racing Pragas in Australia, ⁠enjoying a Singer DLS, and experiencing (in his own words) pure concentrated pain while working on his BMW 330D.Also, there's breaking news regarding THE Volvo. Oh yeah, and one more thing... Amy's pregnant. _______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews in which we explore our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.

This week, on the Driven Podcast, John Marcar and Miles Lacey visit CALLUM in Warwick and meet car design royalty Ian Callum CBE and Aleck Jones.Ian Callum is likely to be a name that needs no introduction thanks to his frankly marvellous portfolio of car designs, including the Ford Puma, Aston Martin DB7, Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, Jaguar iPace, and the Nissan R390 Le Mans Car (to mention just a tiny handful!).Aleck Jones is the head of design for CALLUM working directly with Ian. Aleck comes from a strong design background, which has seen him involved in various products from Jaguar cars, Triumph motorcycles and Land Rover, including the new (L663) Defender. Ian, Aleck, Miles and John discuss the CALLUM business and work through the many products, projects and creations that are now finding their way onto driveways, roads and inside houses, too. _______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews in which we explore our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.

This week, it's all about the bikes (but not exclusively!), as Amy and John visited Royal Enfield's UK HQ in Leicestershire. Greeting us there and joining us for the podcast episode is designer and head of Custom and Motorsport, Adrian Sellers. Alongside Adrian is James Bannister. James heads up the global creative strategy department, ensuring (in his own words) that the brand stays relevant and does cool things!This recording took place back in a cold and wintery February 2024 (hence the cold weather chat) but is relevant now as we have on test a brand new Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 - a bike that Adrian led the design for. _______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews in which we explore our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.
