Swatch & Audemars Piguet Just Caused Global CARNAGE

GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: https://spikescarradio.com GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio ______________________________________________ This week on Spike's Car Radio, Jonny Lieberman details his white-knuckle drive in the Gunther Werks F26 — 880hp on pump gas, 1,000hp on E85, 2,200 lbs, manual transmission, and a power-to-weight ratio that embarrasses a Bugatti. He calls it peak analog violence, and then some. The Swatch x Audemars Piguet collab caused global store chaos — door rushes, safety cancellations, and a pocket watch nobody actually wanted. Spike announces the new Sheffield Blue SCR watch drops May 27th with refined details including a more vibrant blue, slimmer bezel teeth, and a cleaner second-hand arrow. Zuckerman drops a bombshell: he bought a classic purple Alpina B10 — twin-turbo straight-six, manual gearbox — currently sitting at the Port of LA. Jonny breaks down BMW's Alpina acquisition strategy and why it targets the ultra-wealthy gap between $200K BMWs and $350K Rolls-Royces. Then things get heated. Canyon driver Cort Wagner reached out claiming the show was fueling controversy for views. Spike invited him on. He declined. His lengthy statement arrives instead — and Spike, Zuckerman, and Jonny don't hold back. Crossing double yellows on public roads isn't car culture. It's how people die. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 the Indy 500 00:51 - Swatch x AP collab CHAOS 08:48 - Gunther Werks F-26 review 25:16 - What is the Vision BMW Alpina? 30:25 - Zuckerman's Alpina B10 41:21 - The Don't Cross the Mustard beef continues Learn more about your ad choices.

3w ago00:54:28Tap to summarizeSpike and Zuckerman break down their wild acquisition of a 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa with only 4,000 original kilometers. Then, the 'Don't Cross the Mustard' canyon driving controversy heats up, Spike reviews the Polestar 4, and boat car guy Phil rolls in with a street-legal Radio Flyer red wagon built on a Ford Explorer chassis. ______________________________________________ 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🛞 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 ______________________________________________ Spike and Zuckerman just became official California car dealers under the name Morris Solomon's Purveyor of Fine Automobiles. They kick things off with Zuckerman's Panama trip (Miami, but with more suspicious bank buildings), then launch into the story of their newly acquired 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa, a former Dutch police car. It's got 4,000 original kilometers, Zenith triple-throat carbs, vinyl door sills for muddy cop boots, and a story so good Jerry Seinfeld called it 'meant to be.' Then things get spicy in the canyons. The hosts unpack the LA car community feud between Evan the Canyon Carver and pro racer Cort Wagner, who got caught on camera crossing the double yellow and didn't exactly apologize for it. Zuckerman delivers the verdict: crossing the mustard is indefensible, and claiming superior skill as your defense just means you're an a**hole. Spike then reviews the Polestar 4, a genuinely impressive EV with a baffling flaw: no rear window. Just a camera. He also takes issue with the buttonless key fob, the unreliable kick-to-open trunk, and the brand's insistence on using numbers instead of names. The episode closes with Phil and his masterpiece: a fully street-legal, highway-capable Radio Flyer red wagon built on a Ford Explorer chassis. He's driven it on the 405. He's passed people. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 - Zuckerman in Panama 02:21 - Our untouched '71 Porsche 911 T Targa 20:39 - Canyon Carver Cort Wagner beef 36:30 - Polestar 4 review 46:40 - THE RED WAGON CAR Learn more about your ad choices.

4w ago00:50:08Tap to summarizeSpike 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.

Transcribe →The REAL Reason You Can’t Buy a GT3 w/ Andy Preuninger
Apr 2900:55:00Tap to summarizeSpike 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.

Apr 2200:56:09Tap to summarizeSpike 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.

Transcribe →Why LA is the Car Capital of the World
Apr 1500:59:00Tap to summarizeSpike and Zuckerman sit down with Evan from LA in a Minute to dig into the surprisingly rich automotive history of Los Angeles, from the first gas-powered car tested at 2 a.m. on Broadway in 1897 to how a racing speedway literally built Beverly Hills. Plus, Spike reviews the Aston Martin Vantage S, Evan confesses to rear-ending a nun, and the crew debates why Angelenos can't stop saying "the" before freeway numbers. ______________________________________________ 🫧 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.

They trace the city's car culture all the way back to 1897, when two guys, Erie and Sturgis, built a Karl Benz-inspired four-wheeler in Boyle Heights and snuck it out at 2 a.m. to avoid spooking horses. From there: the Beverly Hills Speedway (yes, that's why Beverly Hills is Beverly Hills), the golden age of LA mass transit that somehow nobody remembers, In-N-Out inventing the two-way speaker box in 1948, and why Angelenos measure every trip in minutes, not miles. Spike also reviews the Aston Martin Vantage S: 670hp, plasma blue, CarPlay Ultra, and apparently better than a Porsche in at least one dimension. Evan delivers a confession about rear-ending a nun while reading a magazine. And the crew gives the Petersen Automotive Museum its flowers, including the vault that holds Magnum P.I.'s Ferrari and an Ayrton Senna F1 car. If you live in LA, drive through LA, or have ever wondered why everyone says "the 405", this one's for you. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 Evan from LA in a Minute 01:10 - The first car in LA 07:13 - The secret history of Beverly Hills racing 16:49 - How LA became the world's car capitol 27:04 - LA traffic 28:36 - Bad drivers 36:24 - Aston Martin Vantage S review 44:45 - The secrets of the Petersen Museum 49:17 - Coachella 54:15 - The mess of LA highways Learn more about your ad choices.

Lieberman calls the Aston Martin Vantage S "sorted" and explains why the roadster beats the coupe. The Valhalla gets a deep dive: 999 units, $1.2M, carbon tub, three electric motors, and an engineer poached from McLaren. Then the guys get into whether hypercars are actually a sustainable business model or just manufacturers chasing ultra-rich buyers while leaving enthusiasts behind. A double-sourced rumor surfaces: Porsche may be building a GT3 Touring Cabriolet, possibly called the "Sport Cab" with prototypes already spotted at Weissach. Other stops on this episode: the Toyota Land Cruiser's identity crisis, a brutal Corvette Z06 crash, Spike's Bronco getting beat up by a caddy from the Brentwood Country Club, and Daniel Craig looking very uncomfortable in Denza EV promo photos.

The guys also dig into Jay Leno's renewed effort to kill smog tests for classic cars in California, a luxury watch trader doing 15 years for drug money laundering (and whether the same thing's happening in car auctions), and an anti-AI Waymo attack.

Zuckerman rolls in a pristine 1968 Alfa Romeo GT Junior (factory plastic still on the seats) and Brian Finster from Sotheby's Motorsport stops by to talk high-end online car auctions.

Paul Zuckerman brings in a stunning 1968 Alfa Romeo GT Junio: Bluette paint, Cinghiale interior, flying buttress seats, and yes, the original factory plastic still intact. The big debate: do you peel it or leave it? The guys pivot to California's crackdown on wealthy car owners using Montana plates to dodge taxes on exotic cars. Zuckerman breaks down the charges: conspiracy, perjury, money laundering. The new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S gets its moment too. Hybrid powertrain, 2 second 0-60. It's making the GT3 look like a lifestyle choice instead of a performance one. Porsche also confirms a new $2-3 million halo car, and Spike reminds everyone he called it first. Brian Finster from Sotheby's Motorsport joins to explain how their 24/7 online auction platform works, and what a Python Green 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet looks like when it's ready to go live.
