so youre telling me, if I buy 2 Passat W8's, I basically have a veyron? cool

Stype is really teaching us all about cars

Fun fact: Chrysler Turbine was a way for Chrysler to test out how turbines would work on tanks. Today, we have the M1 Abrams which uses none other than turbine engine Edit: M1 was made years later, but they tried puting turbine in tanks even before the Abrams, though unsuccessful

7:39 Damn that W8 sounds agressive

4:00 I thought the idea of having two engines on the 2CV was brilliant, it's like what they do on planes, the redundancy for air safety, if one engine fails, there's another. I thought it was sensational that you have autonomy and total control over each engine individually and be able to choose the desired traction, whether front, rear or four-wheel just by operating the motorcycles. Really, the 2CV surprised me once again!

9:53 despite of 1940's design Tucker torpedo design is still looks so cool. 😁👍👍

"AMGay 1"☠️

Another good one would’ve been the Tatra 700, the last passenger car from Czech automaker Tatra built from 1996 to 1999. It had an air-cooled V8 in the rear with up to 400hp. Crazy thing

Another speciality about the Tucker's engine is that the whole engine-gearbox-axle assembly can be swapped quickly. The idea was that Tucker mechanics would swap a loaner drivetrain into your car so you can drive while they fix yours

Man, you're like dessert of a content creator. After i had my fill of Hagerty with Jason, throttle, and carwow, i come here for the cake 🎂

I remember that 8-6-4 and it was such an amazing idea. Also the Phaeton W12 was weird as well!

OGs know that Stype re-used the script he had for the Chrysler Turbine

Another car that is a bit strange is the Briggs and Stratton Hybrid from the 80s. It was a concept car that aimed to combat the rising fuel prices of the 80s by being a gas/battery hybrid, the first of its kind. It was a bit unusual with its 6 wheel arrangement because an extra axle had to be added to support the enormous weight of the batteries. The engine was a 694cc 2-cylinder air cooled boxer engine producing 18 HP @ 3600 rpm, and is essentially the same engine that was used in many lawn and garden tractors at the time. It was able to deliver very good fuel economy but the technology just wasn’t there to make it realistically feasible for the market. They used lead acid batteries which are very heavy, bulky and very inefficient compared to modern lithium batteries. And as you can imagine, 18 HP is not going to win you any races but it was assisted by electric motors being a hybrid. It was too ahead of its time but is nonetheless an interesting piece of automotive history. Jay Leno has a video of the Briggs and Stratton Hybrid car.

Saying your car has a helicopter engine really is one of the weirdest flexes in history.

I would have mentioned the Eunos Cosmo instead of the REPU. It's the only ever production car to come with 3 doritos, and yeah, I know it's just a 13B with an extra rotor, but still. Plus, it sounds amazing and it makes very good low-end torque (296 lb/ft @ 3000rpm) because of having sequential turbos. Anyways, I really liked the list. My personal dream is to own a Passat Variant W8

Whenever you upload it is ALWAYS amazing

Great video man! Nice to see the W8 getting some love

When this channel uploads, it put huge smile to my face ☺️

The Tucker looks absolute beautiful!

Such an underrated channel, this guy needs more views

The Carrera GT sounds so good it doesn't matter if its not an actual F1 engine

What about the Nuclear powered car Ford I believe had as a concept. It inspired all the cars in Fallout games

Subscribed after hearing the W8 explanation. LOL.

The big 3, Ford, GM and Chrysler banded together to kill The Tucker. The turbine engine was raced at the Indy 500 and led many laps before a failure that had nothing to do with the engine.

This channel is a rehab clinic for an old beer pocket 90's lover and a sensibly clear and concise Tom Bergeron kick in the bollox to overpiced vanity products and to pampered social anxiety content influencers.

Imo the turbine car is the craziest one of them all. Ive been in love with that car since seeing it on jay leno's garage

Nice list Stype

Franklin built air cooled automotive engines from the earliest days of motoring.

Great video thanks for sharing. As much as I’d definitely pass on the rotary that Repu is a good looking Ute 😂🤣😂 pretty sure I could find a great little engine that would do it justice. Love quirky cars so needless to say I did love the Citroen 2CV, the Chrysler turbine and the Tucker48 along with a long list of unusual and unique cars and bikes alike.

You didn't mention that the B5 Passat had its engines longitudinally mounted, but was front wheel drive. The only brands I know that did that in the 90's were Audi with the A4/A6 (same platform as the B5 Passat) and the Acura Legend.

That Bill Cosby joke threw me off guard 😂

Video recommendations: Top cars that made cars of other manufacturers famous

I enjoyed a good chuckle. Thanks!

Not sure how accurate the Tucker movie was, but didn't seem to be his "business" sense that screwed him up, it was more the big 3 just shutting him down. He used the helicopter engine out of necessity as it was all he could find without making a complete engine from the ground up.

Dude said, "PassaNt" 🤣🤣🤣

you son of a gun!! i almost pissed myself when the laughing guy appears and you continue with "its not funny"😂

I can't be the only one who caught the fact that he used a Fallout transition noise for the Turbine car, since all the cars in FO4 are turbine/rocket powered 👌

I learned alot from you thank you

Adding Arnold Schwarzenegger with the choppa dialogue was epic. Seen this video, had to see it again 🎉

“Damn, I gotta take a sh** all of a sudden” 💀💀💀💀💀

WHEN WILL STYPE REACH A MILLION, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR HALF A DECADE NOW

the same thing with the cadillac happens to my father's 2010 suburban. when it shifts into 6th (mostly at highway speeds), it cuts off half the engine.

Hi Stype love your vids, what about a top about bad kw (or hp) per liter ?

Interesting topic and hilarious video😂😂

Honorable mentions:Audi Q7 V12 tdi, Ferrari 512 bb,Vector W8.

you could've mentioned the Oldsmobile Diesel V8 from the late 1970s yeah the 8-6-4 engine was underpowered and computers weren't developed enough at the time to actually work well in this application my late maternal grandmother had a used 1981 Cadillac Coupe Deville with that engine in it she didn't have major issues with the car other than people stealing/tampering with it and eventually traded it in for a used 1984 Buick Skylark

Engine is in the other end , that is the trunk ! 😂

As soon as i heard Volkswagen Passat criticism, i heard my Balkan heart shatter. I also heard the whole Balkan wake up to kill the creator for the word against the Passat

Audi Q7 (V12 Diesel) as well as Ferrari BB

Citreon 2CV came in several models including the little cargo van that you can pack a whole bunch of teenagers into for the distant Journey Down the Autobahn bouncing along at around 45 mph. How much joy and much fun was had, half the size of a Volkswagen van with the steering wheel in front of the tires, also a lot of fun that American cars could not imitate.

My g, you are real g coz cars bring us together and you simply spoke you way which is awesome! I gotta go take a shir😅😂😂

Ok…hear me out….take the 2CV Sahara, leave 1 flat twin engine fully functional. Then LS swap the one on the back. Pull up next to a Challenger at the light reving that tiny 2 cylinder. When the light goes green. Turn of the 2 and turn on the LS and smoke em…:ultimate deceiving sleeper😂💀

In the early to mid 70's the Subaru 350 was still for sale at dealers. They came in two passenger cars versions, a pick up and a van. They were powered by a Kawasaki 350cc snowmobile engine. If the engine didn't start, you could take your belt off, wrap it around the shaft pulley, and give it a good pull, just like your lawn mower. Obviously they were micro cars, but were pretty cool to own and drive (just not on a highway). I have been in a car and the van, in 1978, in Kansas I went to a junkyard for a part (for a Borgward) and the owner took me to the parts car in his yard car, a Subaru 350 pick up. (he did start it with a rope).

Here s an insane car. Ford Nucleon. It was a concept for a nuclear powered engine.

Your voice sounds like toys commercial in late 90s-early 2000s

Awesome!!!

"Rotary engines are unrreliable and don't make much torque." *Rob Dahm has entered the chat* "EXCUSE ME?"

Niceeeeeeee a new video 👍

Another video already? Nice

Dont forget the Ford Nucleon, which uses a nuclear reactor to power a car 😂

11:18 Well shiiieeet... Lets just say I didnt expect that XD

I would SO drive a Tucker if somebody revived them today! Lovely car.

The Porsche Carrera GT used a V10 engine that was originally made by Porsche specifically for formula 1 which was later on used in their Le Mans prototype car before ending up in the Carrera GT. The Z-Tune edition which was final model of the R34 Skyline GT-R used the RB26DETT “Z2” 2.8 liter engine that was derived from engine that Nissan was using in GT500 class of the Super GT racing.

The Corvette had the same kinda engine as the Caddy, turning ciinders on and off. And there are more cars doing that.

Heres a few top 7 car list I wish to see some day. Top 7 Ugliest Ferrari's ever made Top 7 Best EV money can buy Top 7 Car trends makes no sense i.e fake exhausts 'Cough cough Audi and Merc' Top 7 Cars brought back in the wrong way i.e ford puma

I didnt know This was a new video :O

actually Tucker only made the 48 IN 1948 & only 51 cars were ever made

Nice

my grandpal was one of the people lucky enough to be able to test the turbine car very nice video

3:42 Great captioning!

Love the duke nukem 3d "kill me" refernece.

Style, I got a new video idea, cars that share the same engine but are completely different, also alternatives to a miata. I would love to see these vids!!

Wasn't the 1st Viper's 8 litre V10 taken from a lorry?

Citroen making that sahara car thing: "Hey Pierre, how do we make this all wheel to go on the dessert?" "I don't know Paul, try and ask your unborn infant." "No, that would be child labor!" "..then just put another fvcking engine." "w-wait what?" "put another engine on the thing's back, don't you understand Pierre? That's your all wheel drive and let me sleep, these damned schedule leaves me with 6 business hour to sleep"

I swear to God the Crysler Turbine Looks AMAZING Like a Car for Fallout 4 before to Nukes Hit

Stype is really good😂

My dad had one of those Mazda rotary engine trucks when I was a kid. I remember it was bright red.

Stype, I remember you said in an old video that the AMG one is stupid... So I guess they did a good job?

very interesting choice of thumbnail

Haha love the memes in-between, very tastefully done. 😂👍

0:29 In the 80s BMW turned an old engine from a cheap 60s saloon into the most powerful F1 engine ever. How about weird truck engines? The Commer TS3 comes to mind: A 3 cylinder two stroke with 6 pistons.

Do best non american muscle cars next

Before you have an depressing opinion about the 2CV sahara just read some background about the car and its origine. The same about Preston Tucker.

I just love how this old cars looks like. For me, modern cars just looks like too mutch the same.

You probably don't know but there's the Jimenez Novia W12, which had a mid-engined W12 (as the name implies) which wasn't much more than 3 motorbike 4-cylinder engines angled 60° from each other and moving a common crankshaft... There was also the 1930 Bugatti Type 46, which used a U-16 engine. That's two straight-8s side-by-side welded together.

Tucker actually bought the Franklin Engine company to ensure the supply for his cars. Add to this that the original design was AIR-COOLED. And hell yeah, it was reliable…Franklin had built beautiful, reliable cars for 30+ years. Even an air-cooled V-16.

Cars

I was expecting to see the Commer Knocker engine on here, but then I looked it up and found it was only used in trucks, not cars...

the citron 2cv i have a friend that converts the engines from the standard one to the bmw motorcycle R1100, 1150 and 1200 boxer engine depending what the customer wants and you'd be surprised how easy it is to do

You forgot the Rover gas turbine cars, the twini double engined Mini, and the various gas turbine indi and sports cars.

thanks for NOT calling the tucker a 'torpedo'

Please continue your videos I'm sure you will get the subsribers you diserve one day

why didnt the 6-4 just make you manually choose how many cylinders to use

That 335 Franklin was used in Hiller Helicopters models UH 12-A,B and C

Your low key jokes are funny af

Tucker was bamboozled by the big 3, in collaboration with the federal government. The cars were made so well that 47 of the 51 survived and most are still in drivable condition.

Great program, loved it. The high-school bad language was oddly placed, but otherwise, everything was cool.
