This week on SCR, it's a full lap through car world chaos: Jaguar's PR nightmare over Gerry McGovern's departure, a legit review of the new Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter from Jonny, and Porsche patenting a shifter that tries to be both automatic and manual (bold move).
The SCR Garage is selling their rare Zagato to fund the next project, and we find out that Kramer's car on Seinfeld was one of the first production vehicles with a working airbag.
Ford CEO Jim Farley is one of the most car-obsessed executives in the industry, and it shows. He breaks down why Ford partnered with Red Bull for their F1 power unit, what tech actually transfers from the track to your driveway, and why Formula 1's growth isn't slowing down anytime soon. Farley also gets into IndyCar's uphill battle, the 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC, Ford's all-hybrid and EREV future, and his personally-delivered black Ford Explorer to Pope Leo.
