Pcar Talk Podcast Show Notes
Segment 1: Rezvani Retro Style Porsche
Rezvani, known for its tank-like SUVs, is building a retro-style Porsche based on the 992 chassis.
The Porsche will be available in three lines: Carrera S, GT3, and TurboS, with only 50 examples to be built.
These Porsches won't be bulletproof like their SUVs, and the base kit starts at $150k, requiring the buyer to supply the car.
The design is a modern take on the classic 935, and initial renderings look interesting.
Discussion Point: Despite not personally associating with the market for Rezvani's SUVs, the high starting price and exclusivity of the retro-style Porsche may attract buyers. Is this a cool concept or just a gimmick, and why?
Segment 2: Porsche's Performance at Long Beach
Porsche took 3rd place at Long Beach, securing another podium but not a win.
The nature of the track made it challenging to make overtakes, with Porsche holding 3rd and 4th positions for most of the race.
Discussion Point: Thoughts on Porsche's performance at Long Beach, considering the difficulty of making moves on the track and the team's ability to secure points.

This pricing demonstrates the significant second-hand value of these cars, emphasizing the potential for original buyers to make good money.
The market for heavily modded/custom-built Porsches is growing, with numerous well-known and lesser-known builders entering the scene. Discussing the sustainability of this market and whether the younger generation will value these custom builds as the current market does.

PCar Talk Podcast Episode 224: Cheating Scandals, Legendary Cars, and Power Struggles
Introduction: Welcome back to PCar Talk! Episode 224 is here, and we've got a jam-packed show for you today, covering everything from cheating scandals in the racing world to fascinating stories about iconic cars. But before we dive in, we want to take a moment to thank all of our listeners for their continued support. You're the reason we do what we do!
24 Hours of Rolex Cheating Scandal: In a shocking turn of events, IMSA reports that Ferrari and BMW were caught cheating during the 24 Hours of Rolex. Both manufacturers were found to have manipulated their cars to produce more power, leading to a strong performance in the race. As a result, all affected cars will be stripped of their points. IMSA is now working closely with manufacturers to ensure a fair Balance of Performance (BOP) and holding teams accountable for any violations. What are your thoughts on this recurring issue?
Nissan's Influence on the Porsche 959: Did you know that the legendary Nissan R32, also known as the "Godzilla," owes its existence to Porsche's iconic 959? It's true! Nissan purchased a 959 from Porsche with the intention of dismantling it to study its technology, including its all-wheel-drive system and engine tech, for the development of the R32. Porsche tried to prevent Nissan from obtaining the car, but ultimately failed. This fascinating piece of automotive history raises some interesting questions. What are your thoughts on Nissan's bold move, and how it influenced the development of the R32?
Porsche's Venture into Cell Phones: Porsche has recently entered the world of cell phones with a folding device that supposedly pays homage to the design of a 911 hood. However, opinions on this collaboration with a Chinese cell phone maker are divided. Some see it as a clever marketing move, while others question the relevance of such a product for a brand like Porsche. What are your thoughts on Porsche's foray into the world of tech?

Episode 219:
In this episode of our podcast, we delve into the captivating details of a 912, a creation by a Hungarian company that weighs 1541 lbs, is constructed entirely from carbon, and boasts a price tag of $437,000. With 190 horsepower at 7,200 rpm. We draw comparisons to the iconic Lotus Elan from the '60s, pondering whether the 912 is pushing boundaries merely for the sake of being different.
The conversation then shifts to the Singer car known as the Dynamic and Lightweight Study (DLS), one of the first to be publicly listed for sale. Originally priced at $2 million before options, this particular model claims to have $375,000 in additional features. With only 75 units manufactured worldwide, the ask for one of these machines becomes a tantalizing mystery. Is it a great Christmas gift, and how do you perceive the original price point of $2 million?
Our automotive exploration extends to RUF's significant push in the US, with a Miami headquarters led by Alosia, Aloi’s daughter. Does this mark a new era for RUF, and how does Alosia’s background, having grown up and worked in various aspects of the company, influence the brand's future? We ponder the significance of Miami as an epicenter and discuss RUF's potential next moves in the industry.
As the holiday season approaches, we tackle the age-old question of whether a car makes a ridiculous gift. Join us in this festive discussion, and stay tuned for more as we continue our exploration into the thrilling world of automobiles. But first, a brief brake, and then we'll pick up where we left off, on this cliffhanger of automotive excitement!
