We're talking a final Karmann-built 1965 356C in Irish Green, a 1968 Porsche 907 Daytona winner, and a 1961 356B four-cam GT Coupe, among others. Morris Solomons has its first real inventory acquisition: a European-market 1999 Porsche 996 GT3 in Speed Yellow with full Manthey Racing documentation. Never sold in North America. Then things get serious. A federal judge sentenced the owner of CPR Classic to time in prison and $10 million in restitution for a Ponzi-style fraud scheme involving Porsche restoration and resale. The story includes selling the same cars to multiple buyers, forging title signatures, and triple-dipping on lines of credit. Zuckerman, an actual lawyer, walks through the legal fallout in detail. Jonny reviews the 2027 Audi S5 review in the context of Audi's bizarre new naming scheme (even numbers are EVs, odd numbers are gas), a $75,000 price point, and infotainment glitches that should embarrass the brand. The group debates in-cabin driver attention cameras and what car driver tracking camera privacy actually means for buyers. Spy shots of the new mid engine Toyota MR2 prototype surface, and Bizzarrini sends a letter claiming Giorgetto Giugiaro showed their open-top Targa design to Porsche executives before the 911 Targa ever existed, which is either automotive history or a very bold claim. Listener Q and A covers why Spike and Zuckerman sold their Porsche 911 S/T, watch choices from the SCR table, and the team's favorite racetracks. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Jerry is selling more of his Porsches? 08:10 - The rare cars that we're selling 13:20 - INSANE classic Porsche ponzi scheme 25:26 - 2027 Audi S5 review 28:02 - The fall of VW Group? 29:00 - What car buyers REALLY want 34:41 - Why are our cars SPYING on us? 41:48 - Toyota MR2 SPOTTED! 43:22 - The Bizzarrini! 48:35 - Why we sold the 911 S/T 50:12 - Why Z is selling the Dakar Yellow E39 52:38 - Our watches 55:48 - The best race tracks in the world 1:02:58 - Zuckerman's Rod Emory car Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys review the confusing Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, drive the $34K Subaru WRX through Wales, and examine spy shots of a ducktail Porsche 911 GT3 mule. Plus: a Little League president steals $64,000 for BlueChew, a Florida woman gets a license plate that says SQUEEZE A**, and Seattle's favorite raccoon, Jimothy, earns his rightful place in internet history. ______________________________________________ GET THE SHEFFIELD SPORT SOLAR CERAMIC: https://sheffieldwatches.com 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🌽 MASA Chips - Guilt-Free Tortilla Chips Ready to give MASA a try?

His verdict: for 34 grand, it punches way above its weight. Back stateside, Jonny puts the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS T-Hybrid through its paces. The 3.6-liter single-electric-turbo hybrid setup makes 532 hp and 449 lb-ft, hits 60 in 2.7 seconds, and costs $206K base. That's Turbo S performance from six years ago, basically. Spy shots of a Porsche 911 GT3 test mule with a ducktail spoiler have the crew speculating: fixed-wing touring package, tribute model, or a 4.2-liter farewell variant? Nobody knows, and that's half the fun. Spike and Zuckerman recap the Treasure State Cars and Coffee in Culver City, a curated gathering that surfaced gems like Bruce Meyer's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheelbase. The real debate: why does Los Angeles, a city drowning in great cars, still not have its own major concours? The broader auto industry conversation touches on VW Group financial trouble, potential model cuts, Lucid layoffs, and Chinese EV brands quietly eating Toyota's lunch in international markets. Ferrari, meanwhile, is auctioning Chassis 00 of the Luce at RM Sotheby's during Monterey Car Week for charity. Spike also walks through the stunning Bizzarrini 5300 Aperta Lusso and discusses whether younger collectors are cooling on 1960s classics in favor of modern hypercars. Jimothy the raccoon.

Rod Emory is back on the show to walk Spike through the Porsche 356 Outlaw built for Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell, a stunning Brewster Green Porsche Pre-A coupe with 260 horsepower and a story that would make Zuckerman feel car envy. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ 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.

Rod also explains how he handles (and occasionally fires) high-profile clients who don't mesh with the Emory Motorsports brand. Spike and Rod then dig into the history of Paul Zuckerman's orange 1965 Porsche 356C, once owned by Jerry Seinfeld, and Rod's firsthand connection to it. His grandfather Neil Emery worked for Newport Beach dealer Chick Iverson, and Rod's father Gary was the one detailing and maintaining that exact car. The Gary Emory Baja Bug comes up during a discussion about Rod's upcoming Jay Leno's Garage shoot, where Rod built a tribute to the original concept his dad created. Rod and Jay plan to take it into the desert for donuts. Listener Q&A covers why a modern 356 reboot would fail for Porsche, a coming 914 Outlaw build using Gary's final donor car, Rod's personal spec preferences, his hiring philosophy (work ethic over raw skill), and his collection of over 6,000 die-cast model cars he still uses for design inspiration. The episode closes with Rod's take on the modern Porsche lineup: good, but BIG. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Rod Emory 05:05 - Driving Baja Bugs with Jay Leno 11:53 - Rod's 1953 Porsche 356 Outlaw 23:46 - The secret history of the untouched orange 356 39:03 - A modern-day Porsche 356 program? 41:00 - A Porsche 914 Outlaw? 42:50 - Rod's project cars 45:55 - Rod's die-cast car collection 49:37 - How to get hired at Emory Motorsports 51:38 - Rod's modern Porsches Learn more about your ad choices.

SCR is live from Baldwin Hills with Italy stories, a Porsche GT3 S/C deep dive, a brutal AMG takedown, and a bear that nearly took out Jonny. Plus: Polestar's US ban, Max Verstappen's LEGO beef, and why classic car market correction means the great stuff is finally getting affordable again. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 🔵 BlueChew - Get Bricked Up with BlueChew Gold Buy 2 months of BlueChew Gold, get the 3rd month for FREE with code SPIKE911 https://BlueChew.com ✉️ Ultra Pouches - Instant Focus in a Pouch Don’t sleep on Ultra Pouches.

The new GT3 S/C, a cabriolet configuration echoing the spirit of S/T and Speedster variants, runs about $275,000 and arrives with the full Porsche 911 Weissach package: carbon ceramic brakes standard, magnesium wheels, carbon fiber front fenders and doors. The manual gearbox with its short shift kit is, per Jonny, exactly what it needs to be. Then comes the hammer: the Mercedes AMG E53 Wagon review. Despite sharing 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque with the legendary E63, Jonny calls the E53 a wallowing, under-braked waterbed of a car with no chassis confidence and a hybrid system that adds weight without soul. His verdict: they just whiffed on this one. The hosts dig into the 2027 Polestar US ban. Spike mourns the American dealer jobs and real estate investment that disappear with it. From there, the conversation pivots to the Max Verstappen LEGO F1 car moment at Silverstone: Verstappen's flat refusal to drive a LEGO-brick F1 replica because, in his words, drivers shouldn't look like children. Spike is firmly in his corner. Also on the table: the McMurtry Spéirling, a $1.3 million track-only electric fan car pulling 3Gs, and a Ferrari 12C's simulated manual clutch (a pedal wired to an electric actuator spring, not an actual clutch disc, which produces predictably heated reactions). The classic car market correction thread that closes the show is worth the price of admission alone. Zuckerman's morning drive in his '71 Porsche 911 Targa, ivory paint, perfect balance, cruising at 88 mph. Vintage Porsche prices falling from their pandemic peaks means early 911s, 356s, and Speedsters are drifting back into reach for people who actually want to drive them. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - SCR's back at Baldwin Hills! 01:07 - Spike's brutal Italy trip 11:37 - Why the Porsche 911 S/C is so amazing 16:51 - The SCR Live Tour 23:07 - Our own car dealership 24:11 - Mercedes AMG E 53 Wagon review 29:32 - Jonny's bear encounter 31:46 - Polestar is DEAD in the US 33:30 - Lego is making F1 cars?! 35:42 - McMurtry Spéirling for sale 39:13 - Ferrari 12C with a manual? 40:13 - Mercedes is making a baby G Wagon? 48:41 - 18-way seats 50:45 - The future for the Porsche 718 54:43 - Porsche's questionable history 55:39 - Spike's Ford Bronco 56:31 - Our one-car garages 58:30 - Jonny's Sheffield watch 59:48 - Zuckerman's current car collection 1:01:54 - The state of the classic car market Learn more about your ad choices.

Spike and Jonny are back in the garage breaking down the Mercedes VLE 'Grand Limousine' electric van, the Porsche 992.2 GT3 Touring's wild price hike, and the AMG GT 63 Pro.

Jonny recalls the soul-crushing embarrassment of stalling a Pagani Zonda F Roadster at the factory, and Spike brings up Jerry Seinfeld's pre-race nerves with his 908/3. On the car front: Johnny drove the Mercedes VLE electric van in Spain:(think Toyota Alphard energy, but German and plugged in) and came back impressed. The AMG GT 63 Pro gets a proper breakdown: 603 hp, 627 lb-ft, and enough German naming conventions to fill a dictionary. Then there's the Porsche 992.2 GT3 Touring in Gentian Blue: $240K base, a $38K Leichtbau package that sheds a whopping 48 lbs, and a new digital tachometer that somehow makes it even more desirable. They also get into Porsche's one-of-one Toy Story character cars (silly) vs. the Earl's Court '51 Edition GT3 (very much not silly), pitch a Breaking Bad 'Walter White' Porsche spec that nobody asked for but everyone wants, and confirm their attendance at the Audrain Concours in October. On the tech and culture side: a Jalopnik breakdown of EV battery emissions shows dirty manufacturing evens out within two years of driving. Meanwhile, a 404 Media investigation reveals roadside cameras aren't just reading plates, they're pulling infotainment data, pet microchips, Bluetooth IDs, and fitness tracker signatures to build consumer profiles. And the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is now a swamp. Spike wants to fish it. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - SCR at Pebble Beach 06:07 - Mercedes is making a minivan? 12:12 - Mercedes AMG GT 63 Pro review 18:00 - Porsche 911 GT3 Touring review 28:11 - Toy Story Porsche 911s? 30:21 - Earls Court themed 911 33:47 - A working Koenigsegg built ENTIRELY of Lego 39:48 - Are EVs ACTUALLY better for the environment? 44:01 - Why these traffic cameras are so terrible 49:01 - Reflecting Pool algae situation Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt then delivers a full road test breakdown of the new electric Porsche Macan GTS: $105K base, up to 570 horsepower on Overboost, dual-motor AWD, rear-axle steering, and surprisingly excellent daily drivability. Charging on Tesla Superchargers? Yes. Annoying proximity key issues like Polestar and Lucid? Not a problem here. Matt's verdict: if money weren't real, he'd drive it every day. Spike gives an update on Morris Solomons, their boutique consignment dealership currently featuring a 1974 BMW Batmobile and a clean Toyota FJ Cruiser. Matt also brings a surprise COTA race trophy for Jonny Lieberman, recounting how Jonny selflessly stepped aside to let Matt double-stint, helping their team take the win. Finally, Sheffield Watches founder Jay Turkbas joins to debut the Sheffield Sport ceramic tennis watch along with the updated SCR II blue dial and a sneak peek at a rotated-dial rally watch designed in collaboration with Jonny. Oh, and Joe Biden wore a custom Sheffield on Jay Leno's Garage. Not bad for a three-year-old brand. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Matt Farah 01:53 - Pebble Beach vs Woodward Dream Cruise 10:21 - We're selling the '74 BMW Batmobile 18:35 - 2026 Porsche Macan GTS Electric review 35:24 - Introducing Jay from Sheffield 38:11 - How to make a watch 49:23 - The Joe Biden Sheffield 51:12 - The Jonny Lieberman Sheffield Learn more about your ad choices.

Spike and Zuckerman critique the Audi Nuvolari, Jonny drives the new Rivian R2, and a $605K Lamborghini Temerario gets its options bill exposed.

It climbs mountains. It's also 2,000 lbs lighter than you'd expect. Then the boys break down the Audi Nuvolari, a surprise $700K, 987-hp mid-engine supercar with a Lamborghini Temerario hybrid drivetrain and styling that the guys compare to a WWII German tank and a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots helmet. Jonny says it looks better in person. The jury's still out. Speaking of Temerario, there's a Verde Mercurius example sitting right in the SCR garage. The guys play a guessing game on the options sheet. Base price: $387K. Final tally: $605K. That's $217,000 in carbon fiber, green paint, and red accents. Elsewhere: Beverly Hills PD is cracking down on loud exhausts and their first target was a Porsche Carrera GT. Bentley is teasing a new electric SUV on a Porsche Cayenne EV platform. A Chinese humanoid robot kicks a kid at a demo. And Zuckerman handles listener mail involving a hot divorced landlord, a furniture-rearranging brother-in-law, and a neighbor named Bernie whose ultimate weapon was biological. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Rivian R2 review 06:26 - Audi Nuvolari reveal 09:45 - Will the Porsche halo car be a V8 hybrid? 13:03 - Lamborghini Temerario review 23:51 - Beverly Hills will fine you for loud cars 28:18 - The most dangerous time to drive 31:18 - Bentley's electric SUV 34:48 - Robots' war on humans continues 38:50 - Dear Zuckerman Learn more about your ad choices.

That last part is why Porsche content historically tanks on their channel. They get into the nuts and bolts of Donut's hit series HiLow (does more expensive actually mean more better?) plus the Low Truck Tacoma build, the Red Bull Soapbox race where a hollow 3D-printed Vin Diesel lost his head mid-run, and a fuel economy experiment in a supercharged Mustang. Nolan also walks back his take on RWB wide-body Porsches once the functional logic behind them clicks. On the controversy side: the latest HiLow season landing on Tubi upset fans, but Nolan explains the business reality of keeping the lights on while promising a YouTube return. And Spike tells the full story of how Jerry Seinfeld's brutally honest Huel live read got the show dropped from their ad roster. They close out with the electric Ferrari Luce debate, the Porsche Macan EV that actually drives like a Porsche, and a clueless driver who ended up on Seattle's elevated light rail tracks because she trusted her GPS. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Nolan and Joe 03:46 - How to get hired at Donut 12:39 - The prestige of Porsche 19:43 - 1984 Nissan 300ZX showcase 28:21 - HiLow modified Toyota Tacoma showcase 33:44 - The HiLow drama 43:29 - How to win a soapbox derby 52:27 - How to get 100MPG in a gas guzzler 59:48 - What it's like to work at Donut 1:06:01 - Why the Ferrari Luce is so controversial 1:12:23 - The worst drivers in the world Learn more about your ad choices.
