  1. So this guy built a drivers car outside of drivers cars price range it will 100% end up in the hands of boring people who don't drive them, what a shame
    69
  2. nobody uses it like that come off it you nerd
    44
  3.  @davidbingham4348  not at a fast enough rate lol
    22
  4. Eric Ortiz they should have said Porsche. The 918 had this for years
    16
  5.  @Stackoverkill  because conversions aren't that hard and forcing people to change their entire measurement system is both illogical and impossible lol
    15
  6.  @KoudZ  no
    14
  7.  @harsimranbansal5355  that's BS, all these influencers are here to deceive you in the name of the companies they were hired by, it drains in a day at those temperatures
    9
  8. 13 to 1 compression!! WOW!
    6
  9. pushrods are better
    6
  10. Ojisan642 so why the hell did they make this a McLaren video
    6
  11.  @Stackoverkill  you seem to forget those countries aren't 320 million people, and the change didn't happen decades ago, like most other countries. It's not easy to change massive populations. Hell, china has its own measurements systems in almost every single region

  12. Steve Steve Even though your grammar is crap you make good points.
    5
  13. Dahms car is gonna look like that for a long time considering who owns it.

  14.  @abdulmalikkautsar4898  why tell the truth when you can demostrate it
    5
  15. "Supertruck" lol k

  16.  @theParticleGod  damn bro you're kinda slow
    4
  17. That would be downright amazing, 200%
    4
  18. doesn't make sense when you can just do it again to prove it with witnesses
    4
  19.  @cdanielh128  Exactly. You nailed it. France is still smaller than texas btw
    3
  20.  @joetheprogrammer0  or, more effectively, just let people live their lives
    3
  21. Which is total bull, they're not going to make the car lose traction intentionally
    3
  22. The dodge viper ACR has been described many times as "very very scary for a street car" by Randy Pobst and a few other race drivers. It's a damn good car.
    3
  23.  @zinj2618  an entirely new run would prove it, genius

  24. Andrew Norris let’s not forget nobody cares about the price

  25. Robert Hyson “touched”. Not enough that’s for sure.

  26.  @georgehoffman7846  well now top fuel is using pushrods, so here we are. Guess that worked out
    2
  27.  @RichardEnglander  right on the money, would love to have a bike engined version with all the same tech but with cheaper materials like fiberglass and aluminum
    2
  28.  @RichardEnglander  Honestly the fan could just be for the 100k model. It saddens me that I don't have unlimited resources because it would be done in a heartbeat
    2
  29. Juxozo yeah for nothing. They make visible smoke and everyone freaks the hell out. Meanwhile particulate matter from diesel is less harmful than gasoline emissions.
    2
  30. Matt S with the Porsche, it’s surrounded by steel and titanium so it doesn’t have that problem.
    2
  31.  @EngineeringExplained  get another miata engine
    2
  32. STEAM ENGINES>DIESEL>GAS>ELECTRIC Fight me
    2
  33. I love everything but the headlights. Pointy blobs.
    2
  34. Get that mustang BS out of your damn title
    2
  35. Dodge Demons use the reverse of this to cool down their engines, ironically. Not to mention that many ICE cars have engine block heat pumps.
    2
  36.  @yummyhershey5902  clearly that's not true that they're not as fast. The car in front of you makes almost the same power output as the V6 and could be supplemented with the existing F80 hybrid system. The hybrid system would also make it regulation compliant.
    2
  37. Gabriel Barros like gold, chlorine and water are used to extract and purify the lithium while it’s still in the ground. With gold they use chlorine and cyanide, but they do it in a tank, rather than in the ground of the quarries. That’s a moral wrong as far as I’m concerned. It’s like fracking but it’s actually bad.
    2
  38. Wow an actual car and not a fake mustang
    2
  39.  @UnipornFrumm  no we aren't
    2
  40.  @homerogonzalez2909  it's literally the simplest transmission possible
    2
  41. do a video on the vacuum chapparal, that is HELLA COOL
    2
  42.  @Bralkor  that aren't functional in the slightest
    1
  43. it really sounds like an old muscle car to me regarding responsiveness. Immediate revs up or down, no hesitation at all
    1
  44. X Burst you really never saw a Jeep past 1990, have you?
    1
  45. Home of the Mad That kills any car you could muster, yes.
    1
  46. Fred Pinczuk Good lie, not enough though. Still the bed Jeep in history.
    1
  47. The Abominable Squid not true. They have one solar field that they use to sell electricity to power grids.
    1
  48. Michael Wilson unfortunately true.

  49.  @fedyx1544  that's not a lot of people dude
    1
  50. yeah, diesel v rotary gas engine
    1
  51.  @Sergei_Mn  you gotta admit though, that's insane numbers
    1
  52.  @CarsOverPeople  no, it's awesome lol
    1
  53.  @CarsOverPeople  because... it has no boost? My man, compression is good 99% of the time
    1
  54.  @CarsOverPeople  changing compression is a lot easier than adding boost so that should be no problem at all
    1
  55. This is brilliant

  56. It’s embarrassing when a respected YouTuber makes a big fuss over a drag car built for drag races getting tested on a drag strip for a drag time 0-60 and quarter mile.
    1
  57. John Geier exactly. Honestly diesel is polluting the environment less right now. Those engines are getting so damn efficient. My dads VW diesel Passat from a few years back mad 10MPG more than the EPA rated it. It got 50MPG. NUTS.
    1
  58. to be fair any car can rally
    1
  59.  @nolanhairr  And yet you're BSing because no selling tesla right now has it
    1
  60.  @overcastfriday81  we can dream...
    1
  61.  @RichardEnglander  Hell, at 100k it would sell like hotcakes. Lotuses are priced FAR above their worth in both materials and production/R&D, people still buy them! It's a spirit thing I guess.
    1
  62.  @gqh007  yeah ok. We call them computer nerds. They have no interest in cars.
    1
  63.  @joer5057  that 70k power wheels wouldn’t sell for under 190k if not for government subsidies off our tax dollars. This crap was forced upon us.
    1
  64. Colin Frampton that’s why diesel is better. Almost zero refinery, more power per gallon, and now as clean as gas
    1
  65. Kuma Bear The title of the video is specifically about them being over the engine. That’s the operative term here.

  66. Suburban Get out of whatever country you’re living in.
    1
  67. Taylor C yep all the new ones look generic.
    1
  68. Peter Bestajovsky that’s baloney. Car efficiency has been skyrocketing for decades, we haven’t even come close to their max efficiency
    1
  69. Peter Bestajovsky buddy not a single truck on the road today is forced induction. At that displacement, they could be making heaps more power at much less of a size, or at least burn more efficiently. There’s plenty of room for improvement.
    1
  70. Peter Bestajovsky hey buddy you forget how electric engines get power. BATTERIES. Batteries are the most efficient way to store energy, but that’s not impressive considering it’s not even 50%. They store CREATED energy. They don’t make it. Electric motors are more effective than batteries. That’s why diesel hybrids are better than electrics. Electric isn’t the future until it’s actually useful.
    1
  71. Peter Bestajovsky oh my freaking god. Forced induction is compressing air to make an engine more powerful with less fuel consumption and a smaller size. That means that an engine that’s 3 liters can make the same power as a 6 liter and be 3 times as fuel efficient. It’s not about durability. And regarding hybrids, they don’t need lithium batteries that degrade so quickly. They can use regular car batteries that last up to 6 or 7 years.

  72. he already did

  73. This car doesn't exist yet and we're already making speculations

  74.  @caomama1019  We got Mr. Special out here

  75. the only complaint is the headlights
    1
  76. yes, if it gets an overhaul

  77.  @illuminerd3757  steam has the torque for days, but diesel is more practical

  78. proof that the cayman is better than the 911:
    1
  79. AlbertOrnstein WOW. That put things in perspective holy Toledo. Elon musk bounce OUT.
    1
  80. Abel Carden diesel is even better, but hydrogen is the absolute best. Biofuels are cool until you realize you could have an interchangeable gas tank the size of a fire extinguisher. BMW made a hydrogen powered i8 prototype, manages 350hp and 35-40 mpg. That’s better than any gas or diesel car on the planet.

  81. ThatOneWindow ! But they aren’t that low honestly.

  82.  @Bomber_Boi  literally all the hate is from metric users

  83. XvAvX lol that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while. People have generators, they don’t need power lines.

  85.  @anthonypelchat  efficiency in fuel transportation is not taken into account and doesn't need to be

  89. perfected? Nah. But close. I'd prefer a 4cyl any day though

  90.  @jimmywise4538  Parasitic losses that affect the car so much they're exponentially more efficient at implementing power wait, what?

  91. Harris W no this guy has a degree that relates to what he’s doing. Bill Nye is LITERALLY a paid actor. It could not be more ironic.
    1
  92. Harris W I know I know but seriously people shouldn’t trust the guy. It’s wrong. A children’s show host is being touted as a world renowned climate scientist. And he’s an engineer. He made buildings and machinery.

  93. @Elias Håkansson why would I believe footage as opposed to the actual run being performed live?
    1
  94.  @zinj2618  they didn't edit their own video footage, they don't have any of it. they already stated that. Good that you're in the know on that...

  95. davekirk100 electric cars are doing worse by releasing chloride into the atmosphere from their batteries. And the lithium mining process that they use currently should be absolutely banned.

  96. porsche really lost their way with the 911. Keeps on getting fatter and fatter.

  97. YESSSSS I emailed Jason about this!

  98.  @mooglemy3813  but they're insanely overbuilt

  99.  @bryanmurphy26  nobody asked for this garbage

  100.  @PerBuer  as if the technological gap is really that big. Get over yourself.

  101. Clemens Wels um who cares about battery. That’s storage not power creation. You’re conflating storage with power creation.

  102. and then the sun goes in

  103.  @Mattyv7  clown

  104.  @pmcdermo1981  and then when you need to use them and the sensor doesn’t work, you crash. Brilliant.

  105.  @lamenamethefirst  Ferrari sucks now
