Yes, really. Catch him on Good Morning America apparently.\n\n\n\nJonny 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.\n\n\n\nMorris 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.\n\n\n\nJoin Spike at the Pacific Palisades Motor Classic on June 13th. Bring your car. Jay Leno will probably be there.\n\n_____________________________________________\n\n\n\n📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media:\n\ncontact@neontiger.media\n\n🌐 or visit:\n\nhttps://scrpod.com/sponsor\n\n\n\nProduced by \n\nSkyview Entertainment\n\n&\n\nQ6 Media\n\nhttps://q6.media\n\n______________________________________________\n\n\n\nTimestamps:\n\n00:00 - Spike at Long Beach Grand Prix\n\n03:55 - Spike at the Indy 500\n\n07:10 - Are EV's back from the dead?\n\n09:33 - ULTRA low mileage '71 Porsche 911 T Targa\n\n13:44 - 355 by Evoluto review\n\n25:22 - Starke Speedster review\n\n31:52 - Lucid Air Sapphire review\n\n42:09 - Insane 1 of 1 Aston Martin car spy shots\nLearn more about your ad choices.
