Matt then delivers a full road test breakdown of the new electric Porsche Macan GTS: $105K base, up to 570 horsepower on Overboost, dual-motor AWD, rear-axle steering, and surprisingly excellent daily drivability. Charging on Tesla Superchargers? Yes. Annoying proximity key issues like Polestar and Lucid? Not a problem here. Matt's verdict: if money weren't real, he'd drive it every day. Spike gives an update on Morris Solomons, their boutique consignment dealership currently featuring a 1974 BMW Batmobile and a clean Toyota FJ Cruiser. Matt also brings a surprise COTA race trophy for Jonny Lieberman, recounting how Jonny selflessly stepped aside to let Matt double-stint, helping their team take the win. Finally, Sheffield Watches founder Jay Turkbas joins to debut the Sheffield Sport ceramic tennis watch along with the updated SCR II blue dial and a sneak peek at a rotated-dial rally watch designed in collaboration with Jonny. Oh, and Joe Biden wore a custom Sheffield on Jay Leno's Garage. Not bad for a three-year-old brand. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Matt Farah 01:53 - Pebble Beach vs Woodward Dream Cruise 10:21 - We're selling the '74 BMW Batmobile 18:35 - 2026 Porsche Macan GTS Electric review 35:24 - Introducing Jay from Sheffield 38:11 - How to make a watch 49:23 - The Joe Biden Sheffield 51:12 - The Jonny Lieberman Sheffield Learn more about your ad choices.
