James Pumphrey hit the Dakar Rally with Tudor watches, then flew to Geneva to attempt building a watch movement by hand. Spoiler: tiny screws are no joke. Back stateside, he's turning a $3,000 VW Golf with 300k miles into a project car built for regular people, not influencers with sponsor budgets.
Peter Nam of Gunther Werks crashed the episode last-minute to bring in the 'Endgame': a one-of-one 4.0L twin-turbo Speedster commissioned by a client with a serious Marvel obsession. We're talking 840 horsepower, 2,600 lbs, 24k gold-plated engine components, and a shifter micro-pavéd with real gemstones representing the Infinity Stones. The candy red paint was matched to high-end Iron Man figures. This thing is absurd in the best possible way.
Along the way: Porsche GT3 SC debate, the 911 GT4 rumors nobody's officially confirmed, a Malibu GT3 RS crash Spike definitely wasn't involved in, and a roast of a Porsche dealership's Botox-and-matching-outfits marketing campaign aimed at women.
Also: Peter drops insider intel on Porsche's upcoming $2.5–3M Hybrid V8 halo car. Not the Mission X. Something much more interesting.
