Why the Ferrari Luce is Secretly GENIUS

The Ferrari Luce is either a bold reinvention or a $650,000 mistake depending on who you ask. Zuckerman says he can't tell it apart from a Waymo. With Jony Ive's LoveFrom studio behind the design, five seats, four motors pushing 1,100 horsepower, and an Apple-esque interior full of tactile glass and aluminum switches, Ferrari is clearly going after a buyer who wants status, not lap times. The guys break down the business logic and compare it to buying hundred-dollar blueberries at Erewhon.

Zuckerman then pulls back the curtain on his latest acquisition: a 1993 Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo in Daytona Violet. Sequential twin turbos, 360 horsepower, Recaro seats, custom wood trim, a boost knob on the dash, and a trunk full of surprises. This is the car that made Alpina's reputation.

Spike recaps his five-day trip to Indianapolis for the Indy 500. Apache helicopters, the Wienermobile race with Andy Richter, a rave in the infield, and a photo-finish battle.

The centerpiece of the episode: an exclusive, fully masked interview with the anonymous creator of Angeles Death Highway, the viral Instagram account roasting the self-seriousness of local car culture. He explains his process, why Mercedes-Benz global reps were reportedly not happy about one of his parody videos, and what he's actually trying to do: hold up a mirror so the car community can laugh at itself.
