    F1, Ford’s Future, and the Pope’s Explorer w/ Ford CEO Jim Farley
    Mar 25 2026
    Spike and the crew cover Gerry McGovern's messy exit from Jaguar, a deep dive into the Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter, and Porsche's wild new shifter patent, before Ford CEO Jim Farley comes on to talk F1 and the Mustang Dark Horse SC. ______________________________________________ 📻 Listen to DRIVE with Jim Farley Check out the new season of the Ford CEO's car podcast! https://lnk.to/drivewithjimfarleyPS!spikescarradio 🍱 Factor - Make Healthier Eating Easy Get 50% off your first Factor box PLUS free breakfast for one year with code SPIKE91150OFF https://factormeals.com/spike91150off 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com 🔵 BlueChew - Get Bricked Up with BlueChew Gold Try it for 10% off with code SPIKE911 https://BlueChew.com 📅 Odoo - Modern Management Made Simple All your business on one platform.

The SCR Garage is selling their rare Zagato to fund the next project, and we find out that Kramer's car on Seinfeld was one of the first production vehicles with a working airbag. Ford CEO Jim Farley is one of the most car-obsessed executives in the industry, and it shows. He breaks down why Ford partnered with Red Bull for their F1 power unit, what tech actually transfers from the track to your driveway, and why Formula 1's growth isn't slowing down anytime soon. Farley also gets into IndyCar's uphill battle, the 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC, Ford's all-hybrid and EREV future, and his personally-delivered black Ford Explorer to Pope Leo. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 - Alfa Romeo-Gate 01:33 - Jaguar's PR keeps getting worse 04:46 - We're selling the Zagato? 10:12 - Kramer's car from Seinfeld 16:08 - Porsche's manual AND auto gearbox patent 23:51 - Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter review 34:05 - Robot malfunction fails 40:10 - Introducing Ford CEO Jim Farley 40:37 - Ford in F1 43:42 - IndyCar 44:59 - Pope Leo's Ford Explorer 48:32 - Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC 54:59 - Are EVs in America dead?

  • The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hits 0-60 in TWO SECONDS

    The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hits 0-60 in TWO SECONDS
    Mar 18 2026
    Spike and Zuckerman hold down the garage, while Jonny is lost somewhere in Austin. 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. Also on the docket: California's Montana car registration tax evasion crackdown, the new Porsche 911 Turbo S putting GT3 buyers in an existential crisis, and somehow... funeral home horror stories. ______________________________________________ 🚘 Sotheby's Motorsport - High-end, Luxury & Rare Car Auctions Bid on the Python Green 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cab! https://sothebysmotorsport.com/auction/2021-porsche-911turboscabriolet-9192 🛠️ 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.

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. The show closes with a deeply weird and very funny detour into funeral home mix-up stories. Standard stuff. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 Indian Wells 04:21 - 1968 Alfa Romeo GT Junior showcase 15:55 - California Montana license plate crackdown 19:55 - 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S tested 22:35 - Porsche halo car update 24:19 - Waymo bird hijinks 26:30 - Man scammed by mechanic training Porsche 30:09 - Hyundai IONIQ 5 N review 38:48 - Sotheby's Motorsport 43:41 - 2021 Nissan GT-R T-Spec 46:18 - Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS Touring 49:13 - 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cab showcase Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why James Marsden Will NEVER Sell His Porsche 911
    Mar 11 2026
    Jonny survives a monsoon, a drunk Brit, and influencer hell at ModaMiami, and then James Marsden stops by to talk playing the President, driving McLarens on screen, and why his 911 finally got a new windshield. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com 🔵 BlueChew - Get Bricked Up with BlueChew Gold Try it for 10% off with code SPIKE911 https://BlueChew.com 🎧 Raycon - Pocket-Sized Sound for Active Days Get 20% off the Essential Open Earbuds and MORE https://buyraycon.com/spikeopen 📅 Odoo - Modern Management Made Simple All your business on one platform.

Jonny recounts getting rained on while watching a GT40 take storm damage, and somehow ended up in a headlock from a drunk British attendee. On the automotive news front: a Carrera GT sells BIG at auction, Estonian gangs are running a center-lock wheel theft operation in Berlin, a Waymo blocked paramedics in Austin, and Donut Labs to have cracked solid-state batteries for EVs. Then actor James Marsden joins the crew to discuss his role as the President on Hulu's Paradise, Your Friends & Neighbors, and his upcoming project with Vince Vaughn. Plus, James' 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Black Edition gets restored by Spike and crew. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 - ModaMiami monsoon disaster 06:40 - Porsche Carrera GT sells for $3 MILLION 08:39- Jonny got attacked 16:52 - Center lock wheel gangs 20:06 - Waymo blocks police after Austin shooting 21:26 - This battery will REVOLUTIONIZE the EV market 24:43 - 2025 Mercedes-AMG G 63 G-Wagen 30:32 - Porsche's secret hypercar leaks 35:13 - FAT Ice Race 36:05 - Introducing James Marsden 37:11 - Playing the president 39:42 - The cars of Your Friends & Neighbors 45:39 - Learning stunts with Vince Vaughn 49:13 - James' 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Black Edition 54:59 - Racing Miatas Learn more about your ad choices.
