It wouldn’t be Roadkill without a Frankenstein’s monster of a car, and Tuesday’s episode on Motor Trend, airing at 9 PM ET, delivers on that front. In Mazdarati 2.0: Project Car Showdown!, hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan put the finishing touches on their latest creation, the “Mazdarati 2.0,” before bringing a few other familiar project cars back from the dead for a high-stakes competition.
The core idea here is pure Roadkill: take forgotten, half-finished automotive experiments, get them running (barely), and then push them to their mechanical limits. This episode culminates in a multi-car drag-cross showdown, a test of both speed and agility that will push these revived machines to their breaking point.
Freiburger and Finnegan have built a loyal following for their blend of gearhead knowledge and good-natured chaos. This latest hour looks to reinforce that reputation, with plenty of roadside repairs, unexpected engine issues, and the kind of on-the-fly engineering that makes their show unique. If you like your cars loud, greasy, and just a little bit dangerous, this is probably for you.
“Roadkill: Mazdarati 2.0: Project Car Showdown!” airs Tuesday, June 24, at 9:00 PM ET on Motor Trend.
