Spike's Car Radio

Jerry Seinfeld calls in with a firsthand report on the Porsche Mission S concept launch, then Spike, Jonny, and Zuckerman tear apart Tesla's rocket-thruster Roadster promises, review a $680K electric Defender restomod and the Genesis G90, and recount a helicopter ride with the actual Duke of Richmond. Plus: Jimothy the raccoon is alive, and that's the best news anyone has.

Jerry Seinfeld called in and delivered a sharper Porsche Mission S concept breakdown than most automotive journalists will write all week. Porsche unveiled the 550 Spyder in that same spot in 1953. The Mission S, reportedly born from a pencil sketch just eight months ago, carries fender lines Jerry describes as "a Jaguar through a German lens" and is shaping up to be a dedicated halo car positioned above the 911, something Porsche hasn't attempted since the 928 GTS was put to rest in 1995. From there, Spike, Jonny Lieberman, and Paul Zuckerman dig into the Porsche supercar above 911 question seriously: flat-eight hybrid? Front-wheel electric drive motors? A 917-style fan shroud on top?

Then the tone shifts when Tesla's long-delayed Roadster comes back into the news, complete with cold-gas nitrogen thrusters, sub-one-second zero-to-60 claims, and a reservation contract that literally states they do not guarantee the car will ever be delivered or built. They also get a look at the Alef Aeronautics flying car demo video and react accordingly.

Two car reviews anchor the second half. First: the Landrovers Pantera Breeze, a bespoke electric Land Rover Defender restomod out of Amsterdam, 600 horsepower across four in-wheel motors, teak and leather inside, Marine Blue outside, and a $680,000 price tag that Spike says is almost justified given how rattle-free the ride is. Almost.

Then Jonny runs through the Genesis G90 review: 409 horsepower, an electric supercharger on a twin-turbo V6, and a Chauffeur Mode that uses forward cameras to pre-soften suspension hits before passengers feel them. Genesis G90 chauffeur mode is the real story here and it's genuinely impressive tech for the price against an S-Class or 7 Series.

Spike and Paul also recount a weekend at Willow Springs with the Duke of Richmond, judging historic IROC Porsche 911 replicas from a helicopter. The winner had the worst lap time and one eye, lost in a musical theater sword fight. No notes.

Matt Farah joins Spike to break down Porsche's new business strategy under CEO Michael Leiters. The short version: everybody wants to be Porsche, and Porsche wants to be Ferrari. They dig into what that means for buyers who don't want a world split between hypercars and sh**boxes.

Matt also shares the full spec sheet on his Porsche 911 giveaway: a 992.2 Carrera T in Slate Gray Neo, six-speed manual, burl wood shift knob, 600hp Flat 6 Motorsports kit, BBI suspension, M Engineering tune, custom wheels, and a Porsche 917 psychedelic livery by 405 Motoring. Tickets go live December 11.

From there, Spike and Matt run through Road and Track's best sports cars under 50k for 2026, covering the Mazda MX-5 Miata, Toyota GR86, Subaru BRZ, BMW 230i, Honda Prelude, Nissan Z, and Volkswagen Golf R. Then it's on to best beginner track cars. Viral clip reactions include a Stockton roundabout that accidentally became a drift course and a 67-year-old doing courthouse lawn donuts in a Chevy Impala.

To close, Paul Boutros of Phillips Watches unveils the auction centerpiece for the Phillips Watches auction in New York: Vic Elford's Rolex Daytona, awarded to him for winning the 1968 24 Hours of Daytona in a Porsche 907. It is the first documented Daytona ever given to a motorsport champion, previously owned by Jerry Seinfeld.

Spike, Zuckerman, and Jonny open the show breaking down teaser footage of Porsche's rumored new hypercar, the Mission S. 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.
