Jonny just got back from driving the Rivian R2 — a dual-motor, 656-hp SUV with Tesla Model Y dimensions, 330 miles of range, and a starting price around $47K. It climbs mountains. It's also 2,000 lbs lighter than you'd expect.

Then the boys break down the Audi Nuvolari, a surprise $700K, 987-hp mid-engine supercar with a Lamborghini Temerario hybrid drivetrain and styling that the guys compare to a WWII German tank and a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots helmet. Jonny says it looks better in person. The jury's still out.

Speaking of Temerario, there's a Verde Mercurius example sitting right in the SCR garage. The guys play a guessing game on the options sheet. Base price: $387K. Final tally: $605K. That's $217,000 in carbon fiber, green paint, and red accents.

Elsewhere: Beverly Hills PD is cracking down on loud exhausts and their first target was a Porsche Carrera GT. Bentley is teasing a new electric SUV on a Porsche Cayenne EV platform. A Chinese humanoid robot kicks a kid at a demo. And Zuckerman handles listener mail involving a hot divorced landlord, a furniture-rearranging brother-in-law, and a neighbor named Bernie whose ultimate weapon was biological.
