Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by legendary development driver Matt Becker. After learning his craft at Lotus, where he was responsible for some of the world's great sports cars, Matt moved to Aston Martin and then to Jaguar Land Rover. Matt's career has spanned simple sports cars to ultra-sophisticated performance SUVs using the latest technologies, with GTs, luxury 4x4s and saloons in between. Having been an apprentice at Lotus as a teenager, he now has almost 500 people reporting into him. Matt reflects on how the job has changed over the years, what it takes to produce cars with world-class ride and handling characteristics, and how new technologies will make next-generation cars even better to drive.
He also explains his father Roger's role as a stand-in stunt driver on a James Bond film.
