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.
