  • Why Porsches Are About to Get More Expensive Again

    Why Porsches Are About to Get More Expensive Again
    Oct 14 2026
    SCR is back with Porsche hypercar details, a Bring a Trailer controversy update, and a Porsche 911 Turbo S review that might make you sell everything you own.

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: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 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.

  • Why the Hell Is McLaren Making an SUV?

    Why the Hell Is McLaren Making an SUV?
    Oct 7 2026
    Zack Klapman of The Smoking Tire returns for a full hour of new car reviews, spy shots, and a 1971 station wagon face-off nobody asked for but everyone needed. McLaren confirms an SUV, Bentley drops an 810 hp EV, and a classic car museum closes because nobody can work on carburetors apparently. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ 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.

They open with McLaren. The brand has officially confirmed an SUV is coming before 2030, and the crew debates whether it saves them or just dilutes the brand further. They also torch McLaren's newly redesigned wordmark logo. Bentley's Torcal EV announcement gets the full breakdown: 810 hp, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, 375 miles of range, 16-minute fast charge from 10 to 80 percent, and a $270,000 price tag. Spike reviews the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance, a plug-in hybrid V8 roadster putting out over 800 hp and nearly 1,000 lb-ft of torque. He also shares first impressions of the Ducati Streetfighter V4, a naked superbike with 208 hp, integrated aerodynamic winglets, and a $25,000 price tag that puts exotic supercar performance within reach. Zack runs through the Hyundai Kona Limited in what he calls Difficult Resale Yellow, and Jonny covers the Subaru Outback's practical value while the panel roasts its aggressive plastic cladding. Spy shots of the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series surface, and Jonny makes a strong case it is built specifically to take the Nurburgring Nordschleife lap record back. Saudi brand Ceer Motors gets introduced with its wedge-shaped EVs. The closing stretch covers the viral story of Snook's Dream Cars museum in Bowling Green, Ohio shutting down over a claimed carburetor mechanic shortage (the panel does not buy it), a 1971 station wagon pick-'em with the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, 1971 Ford Country Squire, Chevrolet Kingswood Estate, and Chrysler Town and Country. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 Zack Klapman 03:04 - Why is McLaren making a SUV? 07:53 - McLaren's controversial new logo 10:34 - Bentley is making an EV? 20:30 - AMG SL 63 SE Performance showcase 23:11 - Ducati Streetfighter V4 review 25:50 - Hyundai Kona Limited review 28:34 - Subaru Outback review 33:23 - AMG GT Black Series spyshots 36:09 - Saudi Arabia's INSANE looking EVs 43:29 - Battle of the stationwagons 46:52 - Ridiculous car controversies Learn more about your ad choices.
