    Who the F*** Bought a Ferrari Luce for $40 Million?!

    SCR is back with a full Monterey Car Week debrief. Spike and Jonny break down the 987-hp Audi Nuvolari first drive, Zuckerman's surprise auction win on Jerry Seinfeld's 1961 Porsche 356 Super 90 GT, and a $40M electric Ferrari Luce auction sale. Then Eccentrica's Andrea Colombo rolls into the SCR Garage with the sold-out Lamborghini Diablo restomod the world didn't know it needed. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ 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 ______________________________________________ This is a long one and worth every minute. Jonny drove the all-new Audi Nuvolari, which shares a platform with the Lamborghini Temerario. It puts out 987 hp, wears a full carbon fiber body with real metal grilles, rides on bespoke predictive KW suspension, and starts around $700K. Limited to 499 units worldwide with deliveries starting in Europe in 2027. Jonny's take: "This is like if you sent the Lamborghini Temerario to finishing school." On the collector car market side, the auction house rivalry between Gooding and RM Sotheby's was the subplot nobody planned for. A Shelby Daytona Coupe hammered at $39M at Gooding. RM Sotheby's fired back with the first electric Ferrari (VIN 0000) selling for $40M to a Florida billionaire. Meanwhile, Zuckerman quietly won Jerry Seinfeld's pristine slate gray 1961 Porsche 356 Super 90 GT at auction. The video of Zuckerman bidding is exactly what you'd expect. Monterey Car Week highlights also included: a guy who showed up in a stolen Lamborghini and got arrested, an SCR fan who bought a McMurtry Speirling road car, and a pre-show quarter-panel hit on an ultra-rare aluminum Vignale-bodied Ferrari before judging even started. Brutal. Jonny also runs down every new car debut from The Quail: Lamborghini Revuelto SV, Cadillac V-Series Le Mans hypercar concept, BMW Alpina, Toyota GR GT concept, Czinger Roadster, Aston Martin Valhalla, Ruf Rodeo, Gunther Werks track special, Spyker revival, and Hennessey's manual NA hypercar. The second half belongs to Andrea Colombo, CEO of Eccentrica, who joins with the Eccentrica V12 Coupe prototype in the garage. The car started as a 1991-1994 Lamborghini Diablo and ended up with 3,000 bespoke components, structural chassis reinforcement, a 550 hp tuned V12 with electronic throttle bodies, a custom 6-speed gated manual, Capristo exhaust, full carbon fiber bodywork (250 lbs saved), pop-down headlights, and a retro-futuristic pixel-display interior. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 - Car Week 2026 recap 05:59 - Audi Nuvolari review 10:30 - Spike viewing the Jaguar Type 01 13:16 - Who bought a Ferrari Luce for $40M? 20:12 - Zuckerman nabbing the '61 Porsche 356 22:26 - Man gets busted with stolen Lambo at Car Week 23:17 - McMurtry Spéirling road car 24:56 - Ultrarare Ferrari damaged before judging 26:56 - The true showstoppers at Pebble Beach 31:22 - New cars shown at the Quail 38:25 - Introducing Andreas from Eccentrica 39:33 - How to restomod a Lamborghini Diablo 44:05 - Eccentrica V12 showcase Learn more about your ad choices.

    SCR Live at Pebble Beach 2026!

    Spike, Jonny, and Zuckerman take the stage live at the 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance for their annual charity show. They break down the biggest reveals from The Quail, dig into collector car market trends, and field Q&A from a crowd that clearly knows too much about cars. ______________________________________________ GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: https://spikescarradio.com GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio ______________________________________________ Recorded live at Pebble Beach, this one covers a lot of ground. Jonny recaps The Quail, including the manual V8 McLaren MCL6 GT, the 850-horsepower Aston Martin Valiant, the Brabus Bodo, and Gordon Murray Automotive's $8.5 million SV S1. Then there's the Singer x Louis Vuitton collab, which Spike is not thrilled about, versus the Toy Story Porsche 911 GT3 RS at Werks, which actually pulled kids into the hobby. On the collector car market trends front: a pristine 4-cam Porsche 356B Carrera GS/GT hammered at $280,000 (about half its estimate), signaling softening values across vintage classics. Meanwhile, Carroll Shelby's personal 1964 Daytona Cobra Coupe sold for $42 million, the most expensive American car ever at auction. Paul Zuckerman breaks down why that gap exists, and then pivots to legally dissecting a Fish and Wildlife officer who tased a man pumping gas and set him on fire. Common sense, people. The audience Q&A gets into: enthusiast cars under $100k (Toyota MR2 revival, AMG CLA 45 EV, Subaru Solterra), best sedans for airport runs, whether auction buyers are investors or enthusiasts, the PPF debate (Spike says no, Jonny says yes, Zuckerman compares it to plastic sofa covers), first cars for teenagers, and the first brand-new cars each host ever bought. Spike got a Boxster. Zuckerman got a dark blue E39 M5. Nobody made a bad call. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 - Intro for SCR Live! 02:56 - The Quail Highlights: McLaren MCL6 GT, Aston Martin Valiant, GMA SV S1 07:20 - Singer x Louis Vuitton vs. Toy Story GT3 RS 11:10 - 356 Price Drop and the $42M Shelby Daytona Coupe 16:10 - Jaguar EV Prototype, AMG Electric SUV, Porsche Hypercar Debates 29:33 - Rolling Car and Zuckerman on Self-Runover Lawsuits 32:18 - Sub-$100k Cars That Still Excite Enthusiasts 39:00 - Are Auction Buyers Enthusiasts or Investors? 43:03 - The PPF Debate 45:01 - Spike vs. Doug DeMuro 47:24 - Best First Car 50:53 - First Brand-New Cars 53:13 - Does Car Knowledge Kill the Joy of Driving? 55:52 - Live Trivia Giveaway, Sponsors, and Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why Chinese Cars Are DESTROYING Legacy Brands w/ Seen Through Glass

    Ferrari 275 GTBs, the Manson Family, a Rivian in the desert, and the Porsche 911 GT3 S/T debate. Spike, Zuckerman, and Sam from Seen Through Glass cover Monterey Car Week, vintage classics, and the rise of Chinese automakers in Europe and America. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com Ⓗ Hagerty - Classic Car Insurance For People Who Love Cars Head to https://hagerty.com/spike to learn more!

If you think a 1960s Ferrari 275 GTB/4 is going to feel like a racecar, Sam has news for you. Spike then drops the wildest California history you probably never heard: how Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys let the Manson Family move in, and how two separate Ferrari 275 GTBs got destroyed in the process. One was rolled so badly it was crushed down to the steering wheel before a full restoration brought it back. On the modern side, the group breaks down the Porsche 992.2 GT3 Touring vs the 911 S/T, Andreas Preuninger's steering recalibration after customer feedback, seat choices, and why GT2 RS values keep climbing. They also get into the Fiat Grande Panda as a daily driver, the retro Renault 5 and 4, and how Chinese brands like Jaecoo and BYD are forcing legacy European automakers to lean hard into heritage and history. Also on the docket: left-lane campers getting the punishment they deserve, a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 TE with 3,709 km listed at Gooding and Company at Pebble Beach, a Buzzfeed list of the most disgusting things found in men's apartments, and Monterey Car Week plans. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 Seen Through Glass 05:20 - Sam driving a Rivian at Joshua Tree 07:43 - Why Angeles Crest is so dangerous 08:47 - Sam driving a pristine Ferrari 275 16:35 - The state of Jonny's Porsche 914 17:42 - The Charles Manson Beach Boys Ferrari 24:30 - Why the Porsche GT3 S/C is so good 34:12 - The Fiat Panda is so underrated 37:03 - Chinese cars dominating every market 41:43 - Driving in Europe vs America 47:36 - Untouched 1979 Mercedes-Benz Wagon 52:54 - The worst things that guys do Learn more about your ad choices.

    Your $100K BMW is Now Ad-Supported w/ Matt Farah

    Matt Farah recounts a 300-mile Vespa road trip up the California coast, Spike and Jonny go in on BMW's Spider-Man in-car pop-up ads, and Zuckerman stages a legal rescue of Jonny's long-suffering Porsche 914. After, Brabus CEO Constantin Buschmann brings two monsters into the SCR Garage: the 1,000 HP V12 coachbuilt Brabus Bodo and a modified 800 HP open-top G-Wagen. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com Ⓗ Hagerty - Classic Car Insurance For People Who Love Cars Head to https://hagerty.com/spike to learn more!

The guys react to a video essay on canyon driving ethics and street racing culture online, and the crew debates whether drivers on modern GT3-level machines on sticky tires on public roads are the actual problem. Matt contrasts all of it with driving his air-cooled Meyers Manx through the canyons while cyclists cheered. Then BMW drops a self-inflicted PR disaster: owners of $160,000 vehicles getting Spider-Man movie trailer pop-ups on their dashboards at startup. The group compares this to Genesis and Kia, who are apparently too busy building great cars to run ads inside them. Spike previews Willow Springs Reimagined on Saturday, October 17th, with B-Sedan races, Porsche Cup, a Petersen Hill Climb, a live Smoking Tire podcast, and vintage motorcycle races. Then the guys tackle the ongoing saga of Jonny Lieberman's disassembled Porsche 914 restoration rescue, with Zuckerman playing legal hardball with the shop. In the second half, Constantin Buschmann joins Spike for a full in-garage interview covering Brabus history since 1977, the Brabus One-Second Wow design philosophy, and the two flagship cars on the floor: the Brabus Bodo (1,000 HP, V12, Aston Martin Vanquish chassis, 77 units, 1.0M to 1.4M euros) and the Brabus 800 Cabriolet G-Wagen (800 HP, open-top AMG G63 with Widestar body kit). _____________________________________________ 📧 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 04:39 - Matt's Vespa road trip 08:14 - The RIGHT way to drive in the canyons 18:56 - BMW in-car ad controversy 23:37 - Why luxury car brands are overrated 29:11 - The state of Jonny's Porsche 914 42:00 - Introducing Constantin Buschmann 45:21 - Brabus Bodo showcase 54:15 - Brabus 800 Cab G-Wagen showcase Learn more about your ad choices.

    The REAL Reason the Ferrari Luce Sold Out

    Spike and Jonny break down the Ferrari Luce EV sales explosion, rescue Jonny's trapped Porsche 914 with Zuckerman, and go head-to-head on the $121K Lexus LX 700h Overtrail vs. the $62K Kia Telluride HEV. Plus: ghillie suit cops, a GT3 RS canyon crash, and a Mercedes AI that really, really has opinions about Karl Marx. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com 🔵 BlueChew - Get Bricked Up with BlueChew Gold Buy 2 months of BlueChew Gold, get the 3rd month for FREE with code SPIKE911.

It's straight into the Porsche 914 restoration saga. Jonny's 1973 914 has been sitting at a shop for seven years. Zuckerman made his opening diplomatic move, calling the restorer to request status photos. Spike floats the idea of pulling it out and finishing it with a Cali shop from the podcast network. The Signal Yellow paint job was apparently done by eye, which tracks. Next up is the Ferrari Luce, which has already hit its annual sales target, driven mostly by demand in China. Spike called it. Jonny still thinks it looks like an old USB drive. They both agree it drives well, which is at least something. For the SUV comparison, Jonny breaks down the Lexus LX 700h Overtrail: twin-turbo V6 hybrid, 459 hp, 538 lb-ft, three locking differentials, hydraulic-pneumatic suspension, and 18-inch Toyo Open Country III tires. Off-road credibility is real. So is the $121,000 price. Spike counters with the 2027 Kia Telluride HEV X-Line SX Prestige at $62,000, hitting 35 mpg, dual wireless chargers, and interior quality that punches well above its price point. His argument: South Korean design is lapping the competition at half the cost. The news segment covers: a dad in Singapore who let his two sons ride on the rear wing of his Porsche in traffic, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS that tumbled 500 feet down a ravine on Angeles Crest Highway, and a New Jersey cop who put on a ghillie suit, hid next to a tree, and caught 74 distracted drivers in six hours. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 - Jonny's cursed Porsche 914 resto 10:06 - The Ferrari Luce is SOLD OUT? 17:04 - Lexus LX review 22:18 - Kia Telluride Hybrid review 32:20 - Why your car is spying on you 35:51 - We can't stop buying cars 37:13 - Porsche extra seating hack 40:48 - Another brutal GT3 RS crash at ACH 42:54 - Advanced anti-text-and-drive tactics 47:28 - The future of car tech Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why Porsche is in Some Serious Trouble

    The guys are live from Baldwin Hills previewing Pebble Beach week, breaking down Jerry Seinfeld's Porsche collection hitting the Gooding and Company auction block, and exposing the CPR Classic fraud that landed its owner in federal prison with a $10 million restitution order.

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.

    Porsche’s Secret Ducktail 911 Just LEAKED

    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.

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's Def Leppard Porsche Outlaw

    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.
