And then racing the cars

Haroon Khan It would be unfair to Ethan but it would be super funny watching him try and keep up.

300 pound budget lol

Sooo... Top Gear? Yes please

Good idea id say 500 each, lands end to john o' groats but within that budget they have to account for fuel costs

I live near brum ☹️

Live in brum. Its. Well parts arent bad, even posh. Other parts. Its like if someone in the 60s dreamt up a dystopia. Rubbish everywhere, shit roads with too many people and cars driving on them, not the nicest of people

U get used to it after living in it after a while...

@@TheBeewires same lol

As someone who lives by Birmingham, I hate the place

They have never heard of an S60R then.

V70r was a blast too

magincap70 the one the vid was t an R

@@en_noah4615 it was t5, not "t an r"

Nedews nah.

Which reference is that?

Chill tf out

My friend said that to me while driving my new car, hit 140 on a backroad and damn near crashed

Then you start hearing Billy Idol, Rebel Yell

Me on the autobahn in a Bugatti Chiron be like: Ok then *floors accelerator*

Haha 😂 I mean my has a tipper transit and I’d say he goes quicker than most people on the road Mainly cos he’s angry in traffic and goes up their arse to speed them up then he’s chill lmao

Just watching ur vids 😂 and tru or maybe a ricer corsa

Wow mate love your vids, never thought you were a car guy.

What a coincidence I didn't expect you here lol

Hey rg in hd I watch you too!

What's wrong with Birmingham 😢

@@muhibhussain8274 what's not?

Sgd TV as someone who lives in Birmingham I can say it’s ok

@@nathan_law No lockdown:part 2 like Manchester or Bradford

Muhib Hussain it’s the hometown of Hamster

Didn't VW buy Skoda so it's relative rivalry

Dieu Luong Yeah Skoda buys parts of VW. Basicly Skoda is VW and very reliable and great. Sadly people still think skoda’s trash... i took off the key cap on the door handle of our fabia 2016 and there’s a VW logo.

@@Kayshots lol I've seen videos of skodas with Skoda badging but they're actually VW engines

Skoda has been 100% part of VW for a bit more than 20 years now.

@@dieuluong2972 Y3W.

whats going on in Birmingham ?

@@ReginaTrans_ yeah

still got a few more weekends of that :/

@@CarThrottle Good luck with that! 😂

Seen one for £350

What happened to West Kebab though

Ya great channel. Just started my channel where I trucks to the mountains and bag on em. I just wanna make people laugh. Love these guys though!

@@oli31 They tried a new one like they said

The new place pays more as a sponsor probably.

Wouldn't be a car throttle vid without them making another boring ass video about them buying another shit box for the 100th time

But 9 times out of 10 most cars still has better acceleration in the lower gears due to the gear ratio, even if they're past their peak power

@@will_on2793 it's not only that, it's that if you shift too early, even if you're past top power, the next gear will take a long time to rev up again so i'ts better to extend a little bit past peak power so the next gear connects faster.

@@leoglasmeyer2853 Correct. Still I wonder whether slightly earlier shift would have helped as these engines have pretty strong mid range.

Not so fun fact. Jaromír, Duke of Bohemia was supposedly stabbed by a spear whilst shitting.

the same happened when Clarkson and Richard did the DVD the perfect road trip in the Bentley

Kevin Lijo Exactly

those were the good days - I miss Top Gear

@@jakeh3236 but it's on somewhere all of the time.

I love the heated seat on. Got part leather if that makes any difference. Only leather edges

A few simple bits done and you've got over 300 brake from thag engine, same lump as the focus st,

I was asking myself why they had to go on a drag strip and then remebered that not everyone has no speed limit. :/

@@kowiniskul actualy if your car can go 155+ then you don't have to follow the speed limits.

@@rampage3337 my car goes around 165~ and I definitely have to respect speed limits. I have a number plate.

@@jordzz174 Actually the R line V70 2.5T is already 300hp. It has a metal inlet plenum and bigger inter-cooler as standard. As well as tough clutch. With an upgraded exhaust, add bigger injectors and a remap, you are now looking at 400-500hp.

How much iron is he pumping to have the upper body that looks like he's wearing a motorcycling airbag suit under his skin ?

Very very true.

almost... the comedy isnt all there unfortunately

Yep, if ever the power of KZfaq vs the wane of TV needed explaining, its how watching three lads search for cheap cars online beats multimillion pound BBC output every day of the week

Not even close.

Wierd Doke called guy Maybe in terms of challenges and little man syndrome but not really lol

Ethan is an absolute legend

Sometimes wonder does he actually not know anything about cars or does he just put it on as a joke.

Riyan I think it’s a joke.

IMO I think it’s a reference to 2Guys1Car where Ethan is the non car guy.

@@vasilysidoo4071 The new James May.

Oscar Amador same and that it hung together throughout the day and got them home

@@rossgarykelly84 Those other cars may have been faster than the Volvo, but if you need to take your girlfriend and her fridge somewhere at 140 mph, they would be left red faced in failure!

Wagons often more aerodynamic than sedans.

Oh boy, you are missing out on a bunch of fun stuff..! And that’s the slower one of the fast Volvo estates. Audi has some brilliant quick stuff as well, and those are even faster..! Also AMGs and the top end of BMWs Touring range. There are plenty!

Why? Because it's a wagon? That makes no sense.

ooh whats this, a heart? thanks guys ❤️

keep up the vids, ive been binge watching a lot of ure vids, old and new

"Stabbing someone as they're taking a shit"?! XD

@@Noukz37 ikr that killed me XDD

I do this with my family in the car. It's some of the best road-trip fun you could have lol

Well they did say let’s eat somewhere new

Its Free real estate

No its donkeythrust per elephant

Nah bro it’s potatobake per speaker noise

Even 220 KM/H in a Chevrolet cruise is too much

She's your mom just humour her?

😥

**They're

Agreed xD but to get the fully topgear feeling they all must buy one and do a couple of challenges xD

I disagree, this is way better.

@@juls2juls1 yeah that needs to be the one better! all 3 get a £1000 car with limitations

Ok

Which produces more friction in the tyres therefor slowing the car at top speeds.

@@bkinurface ??? how does lowering your drag coefficient create more friction on your tires?

Underpantsniper The shape of the spoiler is basically an upside down aeroplane wing, so instead of creating more air pressure on the bottom edge of the wing, which causes lift, the higher air pressure is created on top of the wing, forcing it down. Taping off the gap will disrupt the the air creating the low pressure, so more higher pressure air will flow over the top of the spoiler, creating more downforce. This produces more tyre friction etc etc blah blah.

@@bkinurface Not strictly true. A Spoiler is there to 'spoil' the airflow. It is not shaped like an inverse wing, nor does it produce downforce (this is the difference between a rear wing and a spoiler). Instead, the purpose of the spoiler is to reduce lift generated by air flowing down off the roof and down behind the car. It prevents lifting at high speed and improvs the car's drag coefficient. Tyre frictional losses increase very little with speed, however aerodynamic drag increases exponentially. Therefore the faster you go the more impact a lower drag coefficient would make. In a straight line, downforce is pretty meaningless hence the aim of DRS, reducing downforce and drag to increase top speed.

XD

we all know its for the noise, plus the effect of hot air is fuck all to care about

Exactly, that spoiler is designed to add maybe a little bit of downforce but primarily to help with the problem of the low pressure area on that slab sided rear end. By taping up that gap they're creating an even greater low pressure area which means more drag. I'm surprised no one there didn't tell them that was a dumb idea.

Not to mention the tape flapping rear wheel skirts

They should of removed the roof rails instead lol.

Ailios because most people there are in cars they bought for £150k, not built purposely for this

Taped up front grill and that filter is just pulling in hot air now. Get a cold air feed directly out through the front of the grill and it'll definitely help acceleration all the way down the runway from start to finish. Pull the bottom grill out to open up the intercooler more. And soak it with water before the run. Clutching at straws here but worth a bash 😁

Yeah like a proper remap. Will bring one of these to 300hp

fuel line cleaning may even be enough

@@Niklas.K95 That and a slight tuneup. ^^

Just make the T5 do 175 he'd have change left from 2k lol

It gets exponentially harder

169mph for £1690

Old German cars, Merc, BMW. The only problem is they're electronically limited to 155 MPH fron the factory.

YES!

Yes yes yes this is fantastic idea.

They would still do it. Any mechanic can do an oil change and swap filters. Most will do any brand of car tbh Only time I know of someone being refused is when they rocked up to a Toyota dealer in a Lotus Elise "cos it has a Toyota engine". They wouldn't touch it :D

@@user-ue6iv2rd1n Got to love the 5 pot sound. Old volvos are just cool in the car community anyway. Same with Saabs. If you are just an average joe you'd probably think they were terrible old cars but, if you know, you know !

@@hassanamir387 why is that relevant? They’re still earning decent money having car based adventures, and have a huge fan following.

@@maxxiee16 miserable prick

I want to know what she was doing in the car footwell in the next shot? 😳

Dash*

Considering I've owned one. I could tell by arm rest. 😂

anyone can recognize a Volvo by pretty much any part of it. It's one of the reasons I own one; they've always been styled differently than the rest out there and each generation is actually properly different, which I love about them. Just a shame the don't have vans.

@@devilskullBEL funny you mention that. My first was a C30 and I fell in love with the floating dashboard and centre console, made it feel more like a cockpit, especially since everything has a 10degree angle towards the driver. It was ahead of it's time that car. I'd love to see what the new style would look like in a hatchback format.

I’d recognize that gear lever anywhere, but never mind the video. The thumbnail gives it away already…

Or a 9-3

YUP, love mine :)

9-3 is 143mph but the 9-5 could do it

Saabs go for no money these days. Fantastic cars, and I'm not even an architect.
