The Tail Lights and Other Mysterious Parts

So, I'm standing here looking at this thing, and I don't know what it came out of, but it's definitely some production line stuff. Yeah, we've got a Pontiac key, looks like the Miata has some door card bits, and a Cadillac CTS steering column - it's like a mishmash of parts. I really wonder if these doors are bespoke or if they're from something else. I don't know.

Apparently, depending on your gear ratio, this thing could theoretically go 176 miles an hour. I don't wanna let's get it out on the road and see how she drives, shall we? Okay, I open my cup holder - they're so far back. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi, five... Mississippi.

I think I'm gonna do a launch, Joe. Yeah, why not? Right? Three, two, one. I have truly never been more cramped on this vehicle. I think I might survive anything but a front-end collision. It feels like I'm in a drag car - it's literally built like one. The roll cage meets NASCAR's specifications and the company claims it's the world's safest car.

One thing the guy mentioned that's pretty interesting is so these are DC motors, right? They're direct current. It puts out 3,000 foot-pounds of torque, which is pretty insane if you think about that. Three thousand... yeah, which is pretty nuts. Once you get past 60 miles per hour, there's a controller in here that switches from series voltage to parallel. You get twice as much current at the same voltage when you switch over to whatever parallel system they have.

All right, here we go. Hit it. So that's the shift - yeah, series to parallel. It's loud back here. The switch from series to parallel is very... hello, driving around Sacramento in this thing. Yeah, I think I'm thinking it's all right. You know that is loud, right? There could be the only car you own absolutely not. No way.

All right, here we go. We're gonna lane-split. Hey, what's up, buddy? Oh my God, I know no one wants to look at us isn't it funny? The first six-figure car driven on donuts - it's like a cat and its whiskers, dude. If the whiskers go, the body goes. Excuse me, excuse me. Thanks, excuse me. Hard enough or just sneak into the front here.

This is hilarious. Should we go to a drive-through? Sure, I'm hungry. Can I have two Junior roast beefs, thanks, man? This is hilariously cramped. I feel like I'm eating in a suitcase. You know what though - go about saying this... What? The fact that anyone goes out there and takes their own money, their own time, follows their dreams, follows their dream, and makes something yeah... it's just impressive.

This took a lot of hard work to do, and if we're being honest, the inside is nicer than some other cars off the showroom floor right now. That's true. And you know what? We're driving someone's dream car that's cool. Now apparently this thing can go 100 miles at 70 miles per hour - that's pretty good range.

Should we do a quick lane maneuver? Oh my God, you gotta make your own way. Can I park this thing here? You think I won't? Yeah, I'll park it in a space all right now. Do the loop and park between these two cars which two cars?

Turn right, okay. Oh I got plenty of space yeah. I tell you all right. Pull me out - here let me get in the back seat and see if you can just put it all in on me. Okay there's one. I'm gonna die.

Hey Tessa don't you wish you were as cool as me? I'm gonna give job a little acceleration test... laughs. So what do you think? Think this thing's worth six figures no? Clearly three hundred thousand dollars is too much money for this car but it costs that much because the car never made it to full-scale production which is how car makers make most cars - so cheap.

The Tango might not be the most practical car, but you gotta respect the one guy who started his own car company to sell his dream car. And the thing is absolutely ridiculous to drive. Bye for now.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou see this strange looking car right here well it's got 800 horsepower it's faster than a Tesla and it costs 300 000. why well today I got my hands on the Tango T600 I'm gonna figure out why this thing even exists and if it's worth the quarter million dollar price tag so your mirrors fit the car fits it's gonna sneak into the front here and I also brought Joby along because it takes two to tango welcome to Donut as much as I love cars sometimes I need a break from them and going cruising something a little different something like a tank you can go out draw running in a tank too thanks to today's sponsor War Thunder the most comprehensive vehicle combat game ever made fighting Dynamic combined arms PVP battles in more than 2 000 tanks ships helicopters

have you ever seen a car birth another car not yet oh so what the heck is a Tango T600 this is an American-made electric car that came out in 2005 three years before the Tesla Roadster the goal of this car was to be super safe handle like a race car and reduce traffic by being super small let's take a look at the Tango huh oh my God this is awesome look at this thing yeah well this is like a race car I mean this thing's like gotta be fast right the company that makes it is called commuter cars and its founder invested millions of dollars into making this car become a reality and people have bought them too Silicon Valley Executives and even George Clooney clearly it's goofy looking but I want to know is it actually any good 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds 39 inches wide weighs 3 326 pounds same as a Toyota Camry over 2 000 pounds under the floor so super low center of gravity you want to see where you can rock it said 56 degrees it takes before it'll tip over yeah you're not even coming close yeah and I'm shaking it pretty hard oh dude we're gonna be flying like wow like Maverick and Goose I love the layout yeah very fighter jet we're gonna Buzz the tower look at the dash this is a this is a race car motec the display Momo steering wheels seats oh wow we're retractable uh harnesses that's pretty cool we got an Alpine head unit and look at the like roll bar it's all nicely covered yeah I didn't even see this okay so apparently it doesn't have power steering it doesn't have power brakes well power brakes I think you would want but power steering I mean geez I feel like you could turn this no problem yeah if you're curious why this feels like a Frankenstein of other car parts that's because it is making a low production car is extremely hard and expensive so a lot of parts had to come from other manufacturers assembly lines it's interesting to to try to like decipher where he pulled certain things from right like the headlights I'm not sure exactly what they came out of but it's a Chrysler the tail lights same thing I don't know what they came out of but it's definitely some production yeah we've got a Pontiac key looks like the Miata like door card bits Cadillac CTS steering column it's like a mishmash of Parts yeah I really wonder if these like doors are bespoke or if they're from something else yeah I don't know now apparently depending on your gear ratio this thing theoretically could go 176 miles an hour I don't wanna let's get it out on the road see how she drives shall we okay I open my cup holder anymore they're so far back one Mississippi two Mississippi three Mississippi four Mississippi five Mississippi oh uh Joe I think I'm gonna do a launch okay you want to try it yeah why not right yeah three two one I have truly never been more cramped on this vehicle I think I might survive anything but a front end collision it feels like I'm in a like a mhra drag car I'm like I am in here it feels like a race car because it's literally built like one the roll cage meets NASCAR's specification and the company claims it's the world's safest car one thing the guy mentioned that's pretty interesting is so these are DC motors

controller in here that switches from uh series voltage to parallel so you get twice as much current at the same voltage when you switch over to whatever parallel system they have all right here we go hit it so that's the ship so that's the shift from yeah series to parallel it's loud back here it's like screaming at me yeah yeah the switch from series to parallel is is very hello driving around Sacramento in this thing yeah we need to think I'm thinking it's all right you know that is loud right there could this be the only car you own absolutely not no way all right here we go we're gonna Lane split hey what's up buddy oh my God I know no one wants to look at us isn't it funny the first six figure car driven on Donuts it's like a cat and it's whiskers dude if the whiskers go the body goes excuse me excuse me thanks excuse me hard enough or just sneak into the front here this is hilarious should we go to a drive-through sure I'm hungry can I have two Junior roast beefs thanks man there you go this is hilariously cramped I feel like I'm eating like in a suitcase you know what though go about say this what the fact that anyone goes out there oh 100 takes her own money their own time follow their dreams follows their dream and make something yeah it's just impressive this took a lot of hard work to do and if we're being honest the inside is nicer than some other cars that are off the showroom floor right now that's true and you know what we're driving some guy's dream that's cool now apparently this thing can go a hundred miles at 70 miles per hour that's pretty good range should we do a Quick Lane maneuver sure oh my God you gotta make your own way can I park this thing here you think I won't I'll park it in a space all right now do the loop and park in between these two cars which two cars turn right okay oh I got plenty of space yeah I tell you all right pull me out the window here let me get in the back seat and see if you can just put it all in the on me okay there's one okay I'm gonna die hey Tessa don't you wish you were as cool as me I'm gonna give job a little acceleration test laughs so what do you think you think this thing's worth six figures no
