This Restomodded Ferrari F355 Just Took On Singer and Won!
5/6/202650 min
Spike and Jonny cover the Long Beach Grand Prix, a Ferrari restomod that's trying not to get sued, and a Lucid sedan that runs a 9.2-second quarter mile. Also: the guys bought an insanely rare '71 Porsche 911 T Targa and a billionaire had Aston Martin build him a one-off track car faster than an F1 car.

Spike went to Long Beach and became the official face of heart valve health. Yes, really. Catch him on Good Morning America apparently. Jonny Lieberman drives the 355 by Evoluto, a Ferrari F355 restomod with a carbon fiber body, wider track, gated manual, and 420hp. It's 200 pounds lighter than stock and Jonny loves it. Then they tear into the Starke Speedster, a 356-style body slapped onto a 718 Boxster chassis, and Spike is not impressed. Meanwhile, the Lucid Air Sapphire shows up with 1,234 horsepower and Bugatti-level quarter-mile times in a luxury sedan package. Morris Solomon is now the official car curator for SCR fans, kicking things off with a museum-quality 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa with no miles, one of Jerry Seinfeld's cars. Also, Hyundai EV sales jumped 39.8% in a single month, so maybe pump the brakes on the "EVs are dead" takes. Aston Martin built a billionaire a single-seat, one-off track car based on the Valkyrie AMR Pro. It leaked. The guys have thoughts. Join Spike at the Pacific Palisades Motor Classic on June 13th. Bring your car. Jay Leno will probably be there.

Spike Feresten· Host0:13
What's that?
Jonny Lieberman· Guest0:14
What's he doing down there?
Spike Feresten· Host0:14
Can I have Johnny off my monitor, please?
Jonny Lieberman· Guest0:16
No.
Spike Feresten· Host0:17
[laughs] I've got a giant Johnny Lieberman on my monitor. It's bad enough I have to have him here. Just kidding. Just joking. And we've got a, uh, great big show full of cars.
Jonny Lieberman· Guest0:25
Cars.
Spike Feresten· Host0:26
We're loaded with cars. We have three cars today. Um, you can see one over my shoulder right there. Look at that. That's the, uh, Stark Speedster, uh, fresh from Air & Water. Then over the two-shot, you'll probably be able to see, oh yeah, look, the Evoluto. This is called a Ferrari 355 Evoluto.
Jonny Lieberman· Guest0:45
It's not Ferrari, just 355 by Evoluto.
Spike Feresten· Host0:48
Ah, right.
Jonny Lieberman· Guest0:48
That's the- There's a lawsuit? No, no Ferrari.

Um, I'm just back from, uh, a couple weeks back from Long Beach Grand Prix, which was nice. Um, I was there with the, uh- [clears throat] ... with Rahal, uh, Letterman, Lanigan Racing, RL Racing, Graham Rahal, and Bobby Rahal, old friends. It was good to catch up with them. Um, [smacks lips] and, uh, going with, uh, a group called Edwards Life Sciences, who, uh, uh, they, they fix hearts.
Jonny Lieberman· Guest1:19
Oh, I might need that.
Spike Feresten· Host1:20
They make a heart valve. [laughs] You might, actually.
Jonny Lieberman· Guest1:22
I might, yeah.
Spike Feresten· Host1:22
You might.
Jonny Lieberman· Guest1:23
We, we all might.
Spike Feresten· Host1:24
[laughs] Well, Lanigan apparently, uh, had one of those situations, and he's, uh, he's, uh,
