    This Restomodded Ferrari F355 Just Took On Singer and Won!
    May 6 2026
    Spike and Jonny cover the Long Beach Grand Prix, a Ferrari restomod that's trying not to get sued, and a Lucid sedan that runs a 9.2-second quarter mile. Also: the guys bought an insanely rare '71 Porsche 911 T Targa and a billionaire had Aston Martin build him a one-off track car faster than an F1 car. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ 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 💧 Pocket Hose - The #1 Expanding Hose in the World Text SPIKE to 64000 to get a FREE Pocket Pivot and 10-Pattern Sprayer with Purchase of the Pocket Hose Ballistic! 🔵 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 GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: https://spikescarradio.com GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio ______________________________________________ Spike went to Long Beach and became the official face of heart valve health. Yes, really. Catch him on Good Morning America apparently. Jonny Lieberman drives the 355 by Evoluto, a Ferrari F355 restomod with a carbon fiber body, wider track, gated manual, and 420hp. It's 200 pounds lighter than stock and Jonny loves it. Then they tear into the Starke Speedster, a 356-style body slapped onto a 718 Boxster chassis, and Spike is not impressed. Meanwhile, the Lucid Air Sapphire shows up with 1,234 horsepower and Bugatti-level quarter-mile times in a luxury sedan package. Morris Solomon is now the official car curator for SCR fans, kicking things off with a museum-quality 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa with no miles, one of Jerry Seinfeld's cars. Also, Hyundai EV sales jumped 39.8% in a single month, so maybe pump the brakes on the "EVs are dead" takes. Aston Martin built a billionaire a single-seat, one-off track car based on the Valkyrie AMR Pro. It leaked. The guys have thoughts. Join Spike at the Pacific Palisades Motor Classic on June 13th. Bring your car. Jay Leno will probably be there. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 - Spike at Long Beach Grand Prix 03:55 - Spike at the Indy 500 07:10 - Are EV's back from the dead? 09:33 - ULTRA low mileage '71 Porsche 911 T Targa 13:44 - 355 by Evoluto review 25:22 - Starke Speedster review 31:52 - Lucid Air Sapphire review 42:09 - Insane 1 of 1 Aston Martin car spy shots Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why You’re WRONG About the 911 GT3 S/C with Andy Preuninger

    Why You’re WRONG About the 911 GT3 S/C with Andy Preuninger
    Apr 29 2026
    Spike sits down with Andy Preuninger, the man who built Porsche's GT division into what it is today, to talk the new 2027 911 GT3 SC, why more horsepower is "complete bullshit," and what it actually takes to spec a GT car correctly. Andy also reveals he's a truck guy. Yes, really. ______________________________________________ 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 🛞 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 ______________________________________________ Andreas "Andy" Preuninger is the Director of Porsche's GT model line and the guy responsible for the GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 RS, 911 ST, 718 Spyder RS, and every other car that makes enthusiasts lose their minds. Spike calls him "the Pope of GT Cars," and Andy doesn't exactly disagree. They break down the philosophy behind Porsche GT: driver engagement over raw numbers, lightweight over luxury, form that always follows function. Andy drops his personal specs for any GT car (front-axle lift, PCCB, bucket seats, and skip the fancy leather), explains why he hates black wheels with a passion, and shares why the GT3 Touring now outsells the winged version with 80% of buyers still choosing the manual. On the new 2027 911 GT3 SC (Sport Cabriolet): Andy calls it an "everyday Speedster", a GT3 Touring with a fully automated roof built for the open-air crowd who didn't want to wrestle with a manual top. European emissions legislation in 2027 is driving the timeline, and production will roughly double the 911 ST's numbers. Andy also ranks the 718 Spyder RS in his personal top three out of 26 cars he's developed, explains how Porsche hides test cars from Nürburgring paparazzi, and gets into why he thinks the next frontier for GT cars is agility — not horsepower. Plus: his personal 993 Cabriolet, what German driver's licenses actually cost, his Hemi-powered Dodge Ram, and whether he'd have a Corvette if he lived in the States. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 Andy Preuninger 03:26 - 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 SC 08:19 - Porsche 718 Spyder RS 10:56 - Building the GT3 SC 17:11 - Porsche 911 GT3 Touring review 25:27 - Weird car patents 30:43 - Andy's car collection 34:26 - Is horsepower a scam these days? 37:53 - Porsche's next halo car 42:15 - Why the 911 ST is so perfect 44:47 - The best part of designing cars 46:34 - Why it's so hard to get a GT Porsche 48:11 - Andy's love of Corvette and Ford 50:18 - The dream classic Porsche Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Inside the $2M 24k Gold Iron Man Porsche with James Pumphrey

    Inside the $2M 24k Gold Iron Man Porsche with James Pumphrey
    Apr 22 2026
    Spike sits down with James Pumphrey from Speeed to cover everything from a $3,000 VW Golf project car to a $2.1 million gold plated Iron Man-themed 840HP Turbo Speedster. Plus: the 911 GT3 SC, 911 GT4, watchmaking in Geneva, and a live engine start in the SCR Garage. ______________________________________________ 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 💧 Pocket Hose - The #1 Expanding Hose in the World Text SPIKE to 64000 to get a FREE Pocket Pivot and 10-Pattern Sprayer with Purchase of the Pocket Hose Ballistic! 🛠️ 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 https://BlueChew.com GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: https://spikescarradio.com GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio ______________________________________________ James Pumphrey hit the Dakar Rally with Tudor watches, then flew to Geneva to attempt building a watch movement by hand. Spoiler: tiny screws are no joke. Back stateside, he's turning a $3,000 VW Golf with 300k miles into a project car built for regular people, not influencers with sponsor budgets. Peter Nam of Gunther Werks crashed the episode last-minute to bring in the 'Endgame': a one-of-one 4.0L twin-turbo Speedster commissioned by a client with a serious Marvel obsession. We're talking 840 horsepower, 2,600 lbs, 24k gold-plated engine components, and a shifter micro-pavéd with real gemstones representing the Infinity Stones. The candy red paint was matched to high-end Iron Man figures. This thing is absurd in the best possible way. Along the way: Porsche GT3 SC debate, the 911 GT4 rumors nobody's officially confirmed, a Malibu GT3 RS crash Spike definitely wasn't involved in, and a roast of a Porsche dealership's Botox-and-matching-outfits marketing campaign aimed at women. Also: Peter drops insider intel on Porsche's upcoming $2.5–3M Hybrid V8 halo car. Not the Mission X. Something much more interesting. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 James Pumphrey 01:27 - Rally cars and building watches with Tudor 11:38 - Why you should have a cheap project car 21:51 - 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 SC announced 25:29 - There's gonna be a 911 GT4? 27:26 - Brutal Porsche GT3 crash 29:44 - Porsche and Pilates is back with a vengeance 37:06 - $2M Gunther Werks Iron Man Porsche Learn more about your ad choices.
