About First Drive Footage
First drive content captures the raw, unfiltered reaction of driving a new car for the very first time — before familiarity dulls the senses and before the reviewer has had time to intellectualise the experience. These clips are the most honest form of automotive review, revealing genuine surprise, delight, and sometimes disappointment. The best first drives combine the excitement of the unknown with enough expertise to articulate what the car is doing and why it matters.
The 1960s in Music
The 1960s was the golden age of the muscle car and one of the most romanticised decades in automotive history. The Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Charger, and Pontiac GTO were battling for supremacy on American streets, while Ford and Ferrari waged war at Le Mans in a rivalry that defined an era. In Europe, Lamborghini was born, the Porsche 911 became an icon, and the E-Type Jaguar was declared the most beautiful car ever made. Behind-the-scenes footage from this decade — factory lines, race paddocks, and design studios — captures an industry at the peak of its ambition.
