The Morning Shift & Channel Updates

The boys are back for Episode 84, and despite Nic battling a cold, the car talk doesn’t stop!

SAVE THE DATE: The next Morning Shift car community event is locked in for August 16th at the Sydney Premium Detailing workshop! Huge thanks to all our partners for jumping on board

Sal and Nic break down their massive 40-minute Honda Prelude review and tease what’s coming up: the Subaru Solterra EV, a stacked Toyota GR month, and an Ioniq 6 N track day!

The Ferrari 12Cilindri: A Real Gated Manual?

Ferrari drops a bombshell with an artificial gated “manual” transmission in the 12Cilindri

Sal is all for it, loving the engagement of a pulsing shifter and real clutch pedal mimicking the legendary 599 GTB

But Nic isn’t impressed—sparking a heavy debate on whether this is a stroke of genius or just a gimmick failing to save the car’s divisive styling

Hyundai’s Retro i30 Sedan & The Cupra VZ5

Hyundai reveals a highly angular, boxy new shape for the i30 Sedan taking serious inspiration from retro concepts

The boys ruthlessly critique the exterior but give massive praise to the interior for keeping physical buttons next to the massive screen

Plus, they look at the Cupra VZ5 packing the iconic Audi RS3 five-cylinder engine—but is a compact SUV worth over $100k?

Pagani’s $7 Million Gated Masterpiece

To celebrate Horacio Pagani’s 70th anniversary, the brand drops an ultra-exclusive, jaw-dropping special edition Huayra

Unlike Ferrari, this features a legitimate, beautifully crafted gated manual shifter looking like absolute fine art

The boys drool over the craftsmanship and debate how it compares to Maranello’s modern efforts
