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.
