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.

You've probably never thought much about Diesel fuel or Diesel engines beyond the mere technical- but how about the man who invented the power plant that moves the world?

Few people realize that he disappeared without a trace on the evening of September 29, 1913 from a passenger ferry crossing from Antwerp, Belgium to London, England.

In his book "The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel", New York Times
best-selling author Douglas Brunt plays detective and weaves a true story of innovation, intrigue and "Great Power" games- all culminating in the fascinating reveal of what happened to Rudolf Diesel.

This encore presentation has been released to mark the paperback publication of Doug's terrific book- so if you missed this episode the first time, you'll surely enjoy this interview.

Not long ago, three Los Angeles car enthusiasts decided to organize a new event celebrating the best Italian machinery in a distinctive location. Mike Baum, Bronson Page and Dorian Valenzuela are friends, collectors, and creatives behind MACCHINISSIMA.

It's more than just a car show- it's an immersive experience where every detail has been considered. In this episode you'll learn what's special about cars like Alfa Romeo and Lancia, how Italian design has been embraced and adopted by other car makers, what it's like to own and drive them, and what it takes to produce a high-concept automotive event.
