Are EVs the Biggest Scam in Automotive? Magnus Walker Selling Porsches + The Smartest Way to Sell Your Car
Thursday, 12 March, 2026
This week on Full Throttle Talk, the crew dives into one of the most debated questions in the automotive world: Are electric vehicles actually the future… or the biggest scam ever pushed on car enthusiasts? We break down the economics, the narratives, and what the shift toward EVs really means for people who love driving. But that’s only the beginning. We also discuss why legendary Porsche collector Magnus Walker is selling part of his collection — and whether this signals a broader shift happening in the collector car market. This Episode Covers: What We Did In Cars This Week Blair spent the weekend with a Kei van… and ended up buying one. He also drove a Ford Shelby GT500, proving once again that the best automotive experiences are often the most unexpected ones. Automotive News We discuss several developments shaking up the industry: • The disappearance of the controversial start/stop button • Plans for Caterham to expand in the United States • Early looks at the fully electric Volkswagen Golf Mk9 And the bigger question behind it all: What happens to driving culture if everything becomes electric? It’s Time To Sell Your Car — Now What? Eventually every enthusiast faces the same decision: How do you sell a car the right way? We break down the real pros and cons of: • Consignment • Wholesale to a dealer • Selling privately • Online auctions like Bring a Trailer Including the hidden costs, misaligned incentives, and why some cars should never go to consignment. This or That — Lotus Edition We debate some Lotus models that could become the next collector breakouts. Tim compares: • Lotus Elise 340R vs • Lotus Exige S 260 Blair looks at: • Lotus Esprit S4 vs • Lotus Elan S4 Which of these could quietly become the next big collector cars? Listener Question: The $300K Porsche Dilemma A listener secured an allocation for a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, but rising prices and tariffs are pushing the cost toward $300,000. The dilemma: Buy the GT3 Touring… or buy a Carrera T, modify it, and keep six figures in the bank?
