An 8,000-RPM tachometer on screen has everyone speculating: flat-eight hybrid? 959 styling cues? Nobody knows for sure, but the speculation is half the fun. From there, the panel digs into Porsche's corporate posture shift. Porsche's time as the "poor man's Ferrari" is officially over, and rather than letting things cool off, Porsche plans to raise prices further, with top-end specs already creeping toward $400,000. The hosts debate what that means for buyers, resale values, and whether GT division chief Andreas Preuninger is already packing for Montana. Spike reads an official statement from Marshall Goldman co-owner clarifying the Bring a Trailer shill bidding situation. The statement identifies a former independent contractor's personal account as responsible for the improper bids, and acknowledges Marshall Goldman's failure to revoke account credentials in time. Spike delivers his driving impressions of the 992.2 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet in Gentian Blue. Launch control, twin e-turbos, titanium exhaust, and 0-60 times matching a Tesla Model S Plaid. Jonny counters with a measured review of the Mazda MX-5 Miata on Angeles Crest, appreciating the chassis but calling out its 181-hp engine as genuinely slow compared to a used Boxster or GR Corolla. Kai Lermen, formerly of The Quail, joins the garage to walk through the Willow Springs Reimagined event: Petersen Time Attack, vintage motos, Jenson Button, Patrick Long, and a revamped diner. He also teases multi-phase track renovations coming after the show. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Porsche Mission S hypercar 06:00 - Porsches more expensive again 13:43 - BaT shill bidders respond 19:34 - Our 911 Turbo S is here! 29:17 - Mazda MX-5 Miata review 33:11 - Raccoons mistake Cybertruck for dumpster 34:52 - Man named Hitler Mussolini elected mayor 37:21 - Willow Springs Reimagined Learn more about your ad choices.

There's a leaked Porsche flat-eight hypercar that leaves Spike, Zuckerman, and Jonny scratching their heads. Plus, the $2M GT2 RS dealer drops the price by a few grand and calls it a "price improvement," an enormous classic Porsche collection has the guys losing their minds, and Bring a Trailer pulls a Corvette auction after catching shill bidding in real time. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

The hot rumor: Porsche is developing a standalone halo hypercar around a flat-eight engine, possibly hybrid, definitely insane. Jonny and Spike debate the engineering and Zuckerman announces he intends to own a hypercar before he dies. Reasonable goal. The Porsche San Luis Obispo GT2 RS situation gets a follow-up. After SCR called out their $2M ask, the dealer responded with a $299k price cut. A comparable Speed Yellow GT2 RS sold for $850,000 on Bring a Trailer, which tells you everything you need to know. Speaking of BaT, a Marshall Goldman Corvette auction was shut down by moderators after the seller was caught using alternate accounts to shill bid their own car. The crew breaks down how that works and why it matters for online auction integrity. Spike tours the early 911 Manfred Hering compound in Wuppertal, Germany: 250,000 square feet, 700-plus cars, 100 to 140 restoration craftsmen, a Porsche 916, 934s, 959s. A future field trip is already being planned. Spike reviews the Porsche Macan GTS EV in Oak Green Metallic: 294 miles of range, sports-car tuning in an electric SUV body, and a sport exhaust sound mode that is doing a lot of work. Closing out: the Nissan Z Kaze concept T-top reveal. Is it enough to save Nissan? Probably not. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - SCR at Audrain 02:22 - Porsche hypercar leaks 07:42 - The $2M GT2 RS dealership drama continues 11:16 - Fake bidding on cars has gotten so bad 20:29 - The biggest Porsche collection in the world 26:55 - LA's Stahl house 30:58 - Porsche Macan GTS EV showcase 44:50 - We're terrible car passengers 47:22 - Nissan Z Kaze concept car 49:37 - The SCR Green Room Learn more about your ad choices.

Spike and Zuckerman are joined by Jeff Glucker (Motor1, Hooniverse) to talk the Porsche 911 GT3 Lightweight Package, a $10K Range Rover Classic with a clear-coat disaster, the Mercedes-AMG CLE 646, Porsche Boxster EV spyshots, Leno's Law, and a homemade driverless car that took out a police cruiser on live TV in Pakistan. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: https://spikescarradio.com GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio ______________________________________________ Jeff breaks down whether the Porsche 911 GT3 Lightweight Package justifies its price, explaining that shedding rotating mass at the wheel is where the gains actually live. The group also digs into the Ford Bronco Filson edition and how many lifestyle trim packages one truck market can sustain, then pivots to the newly revealed Mercedes-AMG CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung, 637 horsepower, rear-wheel drive, 30 units worldwide, and already on course to be a seven-figure collectible. Jeff rolls in his 1992 Range Rover. Mechanically sorted with a 3-inch lift and fresh Toyo rubber, but the clear coat looks like an abstract expressionism project gone wrong. The crew also debates the upcoming Porsche Boxster EV as a potential LA daily driver, previews the Willow Springs revival and what they fixed from last year's traffic disaster, and covers Leno's Law clearing the California legislature. Finally: a Pakistani homemade driverless car crashes into a police cruiser on live television, and Spike pitches the idea of programming a humanoid dancing robot, to attend dinner parties and parent-teacher conferences in his place. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Jeff Glucker 04:35 - Is the Porsche lightweight package worth it? 09:42 - Ford is making a Bronco for Ranger Rover guys 12:24 - AMG CLE 646 revealed and sold out 18:27 - 1992 Range Rover showcase 27:18 - Porsche 718 Boxster EV spyshots 33:59 - Driverless car drives straight into cop car 35:46 - The robot apocalypse is coming 43:13 - What will our obituaries say 45:05 - Leno's Law is getting passed! 46:48 - Why the DMV is so terrible Learn more about your ad choices.
