Ferrari Breaks the Rules Again, ZR1X Performance Shock, and Has Porsche Lost Its Way?


Listen Later

This week on Full Throttle Talk, the crew dives into one of the biggest debates in modern enthusiast cars:

Has Porsche lost its way?

But first — things get wild.

Tim straps into the Blue Shock Race X5 kart, a machine built on a Tony Kart chassis producing 44 horsepower with four-wheel disc brakes. It’s closer to a race car than a kart… and it’s completely unhinged.

Then the conversation shifts to the biggest developments shaking the enthusiast car world:

Ferrari changes the rules again with the 296 Speciale and rumored 296 CS

• The Corvette ZR1X performance numbers are emerging — and they’re borderline unbelievable
BMW may add rear-biased AWD to the M2, raising questions about the future of driver-focused cars

And then we tackle the question enthusiasts everywhere are starting to ask:

Has Porsche lost its way?

With 20+ variants of the 911, escalating prices, and GT engines drifting further from their motorsport roots, we debate whether Porsche is still at the top of the enthusiast world… or slowly moving away from what made the brand legendary.

We close with one of our favorite segments:

This or That — Your Forever Sports Car

Rules:
