Zuckerman says he can't tell it apart from a Waymo. With Jony Ive's LoveFrom studio behind the design, five seats, four motors pushing 1,100 horsepower, and an Apple-esque interior full of tactile glass and aluminum switches, Ferrari is clearly going after a buyer who wants status, not lap times. The guys break down the business logic and compare it to buying hundred-dollar blueberries at Erewhon. Zuckerman then pulls back the curtain on his latest acquisition: a 1993 Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo in Daytona Violet. Sequential twin turbos, 360 horsepower, Recaro seats, custom wood trim, a boost knob on the dash, and a trunk full of surprises. This is the car that made Alpina's reputation. Spike recaps his five-day trip to Indianapolis for the Indy 500. Apache helicopters, the Wienermobile race with Andy Richter, a rave in the infield, and a photo-finish battle. The centerpiece of the episode: an exclusive, fully masked interview with the anonymous creator of Angeles Death Highway, the viral Instagram account roasting the self-seriousness of local car culture. He explains his process, why Mercedes-Benz global reps were reportedly not happy about one of his parody videos, and what he's actually trying to do: hold up a mirror so the car community can laugh at itself. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - The Ferrari Luce DISASTER 07:08 - Ferrari 12Cilindri getting a manual 12:24 - Spike at the Indy 500 20:51 - Radimak is finally sentenced 26:46 - 1993 BMW Alpina B10 review 39:26 - An interview with Angeles Death Highway 49:57 - Lucid review Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Welcome to Spike's Car Radio, everybody.
0:06.8	It's me and Zuckerman this week, and we should just get right into it, Zuckerman.
0:11.7	Go.
0:12.3	The Ferrari luce.
0:14.9	That's right.
0:15.4	Let me take you through the whole story, Zuckerman, because perhaps you haven't been following.
0:18.7	I think we're going to need these today.
0:20.6	So Ferrari debuted a brand new, very expensive iPhone this week. The Ferrari Luce, or as I like to call it,
0:30.0	the Ferrari Fredo. Here's the car, Zuckerman. As you'll recall, it was designed by Johnny
0:34.9	Ivy's design house. And he's the iPhone guy, right?
0:39.3	Mm.
0:40.3	And pretty much immediately, when this car was introduced, it's a $650,000 electric, pretty much the whole automotive world lost their minds, especially the Ferrari elite like this guy.
0:54.7	Got something there for you?
0:56.0	You got something for me.
0:58.0	Oh, come on, man, not this piece of shit.
1:00.0	You know, one of the most notable Ferrari collectors in the world, Richard Rawlins.
1:06.0	Hey, Richard.
1:07.0	So I thought rather than just pile on here, Suckerman, let's look at the car and talk about it intelligently and give it the benefit of the doubt, right? Intelligently. Yes, intelligently. Let's give it a fair shot. So here it is. Here with Ferrari's first ever electric car, the luchet, here is everything you need to know. The luchet looks nothing like previous Ferrar, and that's bound to ruffle some feathers. It has a huge floating wing in front that boosts aerodynamics. Stop it for one sec. Zuckerman, do you like the way this thing looks? It doesn't look like anything to me. Okay. I can't tell the difference between this and a Waymo. Okay. So you don't. I didn't mind it. I didn't mind the exterior design. It's completely inoffensive. And I liked it in this color. Keep going. Let's learn some more about this car. This is the slipperiest Ferrari roadcar ever. Inside, you get a distinctly Apple-like interior. Okay, stop for a second. Now, this interior, I actually think is really cool. This is all the haptic buttons back. I like how it looks.
2:04.5	I like how... Now this interior, I actually think it's really cool. This is all the haptic buttons back.
2:02.8	I like how it looks. I like how it presents in a very analog way. Keep playing.
2:08.0	With satisfying aluminum switches and glass knobs. Yeah. It's a really refreshing combination of
2:12.8	analog and digital elements. Luce is also Ferrari's first five-seat car ever.
