This week on the Weekly Wire, *The Drive*'s Mike Spinelli, Josh Condon, and Will Sabel Courtney take a look back at three of the most important stories from the week. First, the group discusses [Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen's revelations about the future of the brand](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5036/did-cadillacs-president-just-blow-the-lid-off-the-carmakers-future>), including the news that the carmaker will build a flagship—but it won't be a full-size sedan. Next, the crew chats about the Oculus Rift that recently found its way to *The Drive*'s offices, and how could redefine racing games. Finally, the trio touches on the rumors that [Mercedes-AMG will reportedly build a a hypercar](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5057/mercedes-amgs-f1-engined-hypercar-could-show-up-next-year>) powered by a version of the company's current Formula One engine. of course, it's a hell of a lot more interesting to watch then to read about, so hit the video for all the fun.
