Resto-Mod Bubble, Overhyped Supercars & Ferrari’s New 849 Testarossa
Time to rev the engines—this episode of Full Throttle Talk is bursting with high-octane content and turbocharged takes:
1. This Week in Cars:
Tim opens the throttle with his brand-new go-kart track.
Paul crashes the Good Vibes Breakfast Club and spies the Czinger 21CV Max.
Dave battles CIS hot-start demons delivering a 1982 911 Targa, solving the issue at the 11th hour.
Casey resurrects a 1973.5 911 Targa, tracks down a 997 GTS stick, and finally gets a clutch slave cylinder after 5 months—plus PCA meet-ups and auction digs.
2. Automotive News & Ferrari Focus:
Ferrari just dropped the 849 Testarossa—literally resurrecting one of the most iconic names with a next-gen plug-in hybrid flagship to replace the SF90 Stradale.
Powertrain: A mid-rear 4.0L twin-turbo V8 plus three electric motors, delivering around 1,050 horsepower—roughly 50 hp more than the SF90.
Performance: 0–62 mph in under 2.3 seconds, top speed 205 mph (330 km/h).
Design & Aero: 15% more cooling capacity, 415 kg of downforce at 155 mph, bold blacked-out nose, slotted intakes, and aero channels that nod to the original Testarossa.
Interior: Driver-focused wraparound cockpit with raised center console, no central touchscreen—infotainment lives in the driver’s display.
Variants & Pricing: Coupe (€460,000) and Spider (€500,000), with EU deliveries starting 2026, U.S. later with tariffs pushing prices higher.
Legacy Tie-In: Ferrari recently won back the Testarossa name in EU court, reviving one of the brand’s most legendary badges.
Plus: Porsche’s new Turbo S T-Hybrid obliterates Nürburgring times, Porsche’s Macan replacement shifts to FWD bias, and Casey breaks down Porsche’s new wireless EV charging tech.
3. Resto-Mod Bubble Debate:Is the perfect stock car the new holy grail? With bespoke builds from Singer, Ruf, Tuthill, and Canepa dominating auctions, what’s the future for ultra-high-end resto-mods? We break down values, the “Insta effect,” and why unmolested classics may be the real winners.
4. Over-Hyped Cars That Might Crash:From EVs like Hummer EV or Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, to Ferrari Purosangue, modern McLarens, Rimac, and endless special-edition 911s—what’s hot now but destined to cool fast?
5. Greatest Modern Supercar?Tim argues the Ruf CTR Anniversary is today’s McLaren F1—no upper limit on value, pure driver’s car, and recent sales topping $3M.
6. Auction Watch:We’re tracking heavy hitters like the 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 and 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, complete with Classic.com comps and valuation trends.
Bonus Segment:By popular demand, “What watch are you wearing today?” returns—because great taste in cars always pairs with great taste in timepieces.
If you’re into Ferrari, Porsche, resto-mod culture, collector car auctions, and unfiltered automotive news, this is your show.
