Welcome to Spike's Car Radio, here we are in, we'll be in Audrain in Newport, Rhode Island in what? Two days. When do we fly?

Paul Zuckerman (0:12)

Two days, Friday?

Jonny Lieberman (0:13)

We fly the day after this show goes live. We fly the first.

Paul Zuckerman (0:15)

Oh, we leave on Thursday. Yeah, the first.

Spike Feresten (0:17)

Okay, I better get that right.

Paul Zuckerman (0:18)

Yeah.

Spike Feresten (0:19)

We're gonna be at the gathering. Jonny and I with Mr. Jay Leno. I loved this last year. Jonny was saying before the show, I had such a great time with you. Jonny's so good on the road on these car shows. I'm kind of lost like you are.

Paul Zuckerman (0:32)

Yes.

Spike Feresten (0:34)

I go, what do we do? He goes, we're gonna look at cars. And he taught me how to act at a car show. And we go and we look at nice cars and we listen about and we hear, it was a lot of fun.

Jonny Lieberman (0:43)

We got a posse of car people together.

Spike Feresten (0:45)

And then when it gets annoying, you move to the next car.

Jonny Lieberman (0:48)

Oh, it's like a party. The second you don't want to be in the car station, just go somewhere else.

Spike Feresten (0:52)

And we both share an affinity for Cumberland Farms food. So, and there's plenty of Cumberland Farms.

Paul Zuckerman (0:58)

What is Cumberland?

Spike Feresten (1:00)

It's the original 7-Eleven. It's like the wah-wah of New England.

Paul Zuckerman (1:04)

Stuckies of New England.

Spike Feresten (1:06)

Look, if you want to come see us, the gathering is one of the pricier tickets, I guess. And that's the big day and that's hundreds of dollars. But the next day, Saturday morning, we're going to be with Nick Schorsch. It's not a surprise anymore.

Just him. And he's the guy who founded the Audrain. And apparently he doesn't do interviews. And he's going to do an interview with us. He said he would do that. He's going to tell us about how the Audrain, maybe we can convince him to call this Newport Car Week instead of Audrain. Who knows?

Jonny Lieberman (1:35)

All I know is the guy has over 500 cars.

Spike Feresten (1:38)

Yeah, yeah.

Paul Zuckerman (1:38)

It's going to be fun.

Spike Feresten (1:41)

And this is part of that, an amazing Cars and Coffee event, the Ford Adams Cars and Coffee.

Jonny Lieberman (1:46)

Yes.

Spike Feresten (1:47)

It's giant, Zuckerman. It's a giant medieval fort.

Paul Zuckerman (1:52)

Am I missing something? Should I be going to this one day? This is the one you should go to.

Spike Feresten (1:57)

You definitely should be going. It's so fun. Anyway, tickets are available here. And those are what?

40?

Jonny Lieberman (2:04)

I think 40 or 45

Spike Feresten (2:05)

Look at the way they do the pricing here. It's so weird.

Jonny Lieberman (2:08)

655

Spike Feresten (2:09)

Yeah. OK, whatever.

Paul Zuckerman (2:10)

That's bizarre. But all ticket sales are final and non-refundable. But you'll be apprised.

Jonny Lieberman (2:15)

And this is an early one because it's a Cars and Coffee. So it's a 9 a.m. show.

Spike Feresten (2:18)

We're going to give away some Sheffield watches. It's going to be great. And it's a good car show. I have a lot of Porsche news today. Let's get into it. Porsche finally leaking information about a hypercar.

A flat eight Porsche hypercar is looking increasingly likely. Rumors of a Porsche halo car powered by an engine the company has never used in production are gaining steam. The report indicates Porsche is developing a standalone hypercar unrelated to its rear engine 911, which would make the fitting, the Boxster 8 a lot easier, I guess, putting the Boxer 8 in.

It's a flat eight, right? We'd heard hybrid V8 earlier, but now this is saying flat eight. Porsche has confirmed the existence of flat eight engines in the past, blah, blah, blah. But this is the first time this is now getting leaked to us. Now I know there was a big dealer meeting this week and I hope to get some leaks out of that. I did not. Stop with the leaking self-training. But someone did say there's an announcement coming early October. Early October. They don't know if it's this car or not that car.

Paul Zuckerman (3:25)

Do we have an idea of the price point?

Spike Feresten (3:27)

500,000 pounds, which converts to what?

Paul Zuckerman (3:31)

About 800 No, I'm not sure. Yeah.

Spike Feresten (3:35)

And also, but you know, this picture keeps getting put forth. Throw up that link of the Porsche concept cars. I think I have a working theory here. It's probably completely made up in my head that after the Mission X kind of went into the crapper, right?
