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 849 Testarossa — next-gen plug-in hybrid flagship to replace the SF90 Stradale.

Powertrain: Mid-rear 4.0L twin-turbo V8 + three electric motors (~1,050 hp).

Performance: 0–62 mph, 2.3s; top speed 205 mph (330 km/h).

Design & Aero: +15% cooling capacity, 415 kg downforce @ 155 mph, blacked-out nose, slotted intakes, aero channels nodding to the original Testarossa.

Interior: Driver-focused wraparound cockpit, raised center console, no central touchscreen (infotainment in the driver display).

Variants & Pricing: Coupe (€460,000) and Spider (€500,000); EU deliveries start 2026; U.S. later with tariffs likely pushing prices higher.

Legacy Tie-In: Ferrari won back the Testarossa name in EU court, reviving a legendary badge.

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

Singer/Ruf/Tuthill/Canepa bespoke builds vs. the rise of perfect stock cars. Values, the “Insta effect,” and why unmolested classics may be the real winners.

4) Over-Hyped Cars That Might Crash

EVs like Hummer EV or Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, Ferrari Purosangue, modern McLarens, Rimac, and endless special-edition 911s—what’s hot now but likely to cool?

5) Greatest Modern Supercar?

Tim’s take: Ruf CTR Anniversary = today’s McLaren F1. No upper limit on value, pure driver’s car, recent sales topping $3M.

6) Auction Watch

Heavy hitters: 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 and 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, with Classic.com comps and valuation trends.

Bonus Segment

“What watch are you wearing today?” returns—because great taste in cars 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. 👊
