Joe does.Please stop suing me.- G8 Sport Truck.- Speaking of Max, he made meput this next car on the list,even though it's nottechnically a one-off,but actually a very popularcar down under in Australia,my favoritecountry-slash-island continent.At the 2008, New York Auto Showactor 50 Curtis Jackson Centunveiled the Pontiac G8 ST,or Sport Truck.But don't be fooled.The Pontiac G8 shared its platformwith the Holden Commodore,which means that this is basicallyjust a Holden Ute with a facelift.So it's not really that insane.It's just a Holden Ute for America.What is insane is thatthey didn't sell it to us.With no weight on the butt and 361 HRSPRS,this thing was a burnout machine,and the fact thatactor-slash-rapper Curtis 50 Cent,star of "Power" on the Starz Network,was there to debut the carin 2008 was pretty cool.But even if Pontiac nevermade this for America,you can actually get your own G8converted to Ute spec bythis company in Coloradowho imports chopped up Holden piecesand graphs the bodypanels onto your Pontiac.Like Ed Gein.Neat.Do you think that 50 Centuses antitheft devices on his cars?Do you think he uses Da Club?-McLaren F1-powered wagon.- I don't think that we'vemade an episode of this showthat did not include a 5 Series wagon.Coincidentally, myeditor-slash-director Maxdrives a 5 Series BMW wagon.It's almost as if Max isusing his internet powerto drive the value of his car up,but it's in, it's in thislist, so I gotta talk about it.The BMW E34 M5 wagon has got to beone of the sickest carsof the last 30 years.The iconic S38 inline sixmade around 335 HRSPRS,but it wasn't enough for theengineers over at Bay-M-Vay.BMW had recently been contractedto make some naturally aspirated12-cylinder engines for McLaren.After they engineered andbuilt a few prototypes,they needed to test thenew engine in somethin',so they did the logicalthing and dropped the enginethat was about to power thefastest car in the worldinto a dad wagon."Strap in, mein Kinder.It is time to go to the school bus!"German people don't all talk like that.The V12 M5 wagon is one ofBMW's best kept secrets,and they've never actually let the publiclay their sweaty little eyes on it,But I would imagine thatdriving an early '90s M5that has more power than apresent-gen M5 Competitionwould be A: very fun,and two: very scary.-Hellephant Super Charger.- It's no secret thatDodge loves making loud,powerful behemoths with cool-ass names.They got the Demon,they got the Hellcat,they got the Stratus.So it wasn't that surprisingwhen Mopar came out witha 1,000 horsepower Hemi V8 crate enginewith the sickest nameever, the Hellephant!(James mimics elephant bleating)- It's an elephant from Hell.Any other company, and it would be like,what are you doing?Dodge for some reason,they can pull it off.The engine is a full sevenliters of Diet Fresca,but that's not enough Diet Fresca for you,you got a massivethree-liter twin screw blowerstrapped on top of the Hellephant.This is the Arby's MeatMountain of engines.Now don't get me wrong, it's delicious,but it's literally a crime against nature.Just like the Meat Mountainneeds a vessel, i.e. the bun,Dodges needed a vessel for thisfour digit horsepower heart.For the 2018 SEMA convention,Dodge dropped this big old boyin a 1968 charger body andcalled it the Super Charger.It coincided with the 50thanniversary of the Charger,and the name of the engine itselfwas a tribute to the iconic Mopar engine.Dodge modernized the classic Chargerand made it look absolutely (smacks lips).I saw it in person at SEMA.Wide-body fenders, thatwide mama hood scoop,the grille that extends infront of the headlights.Are you freaking kicking me guys?Let us know in the commentsif you want to see Nolan swap a Hellephantinto his 1952 Imperial.I would not suggest it.It's got some weird brakes.-Shelby Lonestar Cobra.- Just like Dodge, CarrollShelby is a true American icon.Put my gum in just forthis one, for Carol Shebby,like Matt Damon.That was his characterfor Carroll Shelby-age.Oh yeah, Carroll Shelby chews gum.(James chewing loudly)Like Dodge, Carroll Shelbyis a true American icon.You probably know him from his chili kit,but one thing you might not knowis that he also used to make cars.Shelby and Fjord had justdebutted the 427 Cobra in 1965,and good old Shelbs wasworking on the follow-upcalled the Cobra III,when the Hank the Deuce pulledthe plug on development.But the car was pretty much done already,so Shelby basically stole the prototypeand drove it back to Shelby Americanand renamed it afterhis home state of Texas,(classic western music)the Lonestar.Sometimes I feel like a lone star,isolated in my house.The Lonestar drew inspirationfrom European race cars at the timeand would have looked insanecruisin' down American boulevards.I mean, it looks like a Le Mans prototype.The Ford 289 V8 that's in the Lonestarmade 320 HRSPRS and was matedto a five-speed ZF gearbox.That sounds really fun,even though I will neverbe able to afford itor even fit in it if itmade it into production.The car sat in storage for 50 yearsuntil all the heat was off,and was restored in time to debutat a Florida car show in 2018.And if you think about it, Carroll Shelbywas the human equivalentto an insane one-off.Rest in peace, King.- V8 Cygnet.- Now for a car that's insanefor a completely different reason.Some of you probably drive aToyota iQ, and I respect that.But what if you could buy thesame car for twice the price?Hmm?Well that's what happenedwhen Aston Martin rebadged the iQas the Cygnet back in 2011.Just like the imperialists that they are,they took a foreign car,planted a Union Jack on it,and said, "This is ours nowfor the Queen and the kingdom."And you might be saying,"James, you alreadytalked about this car."Well, I know,but I didn't talk aboutthis one-off version.Aston Martin did somethingincredibly cool with one of 'em.They dropped a big old V8from the Vantage in it.Not only that, theyalso gave the V8 Cygnetcomically wide fenders and converted itfrom front wheel driveto rear wheel drive.The so-called Super Cygnet,I still don't know how to say that word,makes 430 Windsor Grays.Those are the horses thatthe royal family owns.It's stupid, but I like stupid.That's kind-o my thing.-The Corvette Rondine.- I love when peoplename cars after people,like the Beau James truck,or the Gentleman Jim.Corvette Rondine coupeis named after a woman named Rondine,which I'm assuming is thefemale version of Randy.And let me tell you, thiscar is randy as hell.I'm talking Austin Powers horny, baby."Austin Powers" was a moviethat came out when I was a kidbefore most of you were born.And when I was in grade school,all you had to do to be funnywas just say lines from it.And then everyone would belike, "Oh, that's a funny kid,"but I'm over here inthe back of the class,givin' 'em original gold material.They still think thatguy's funny 'cause he says,"I'll make you horny, baby."I'm not bitter (laughs).Rondine answers the question:what would happen if Pininfarina,the guys who designed most Ferraris,designed a Corvette?Because that's what happened.Pininfarina literallydesigned this Corvette.Chevy commissioned theiconic Italian design houseto produce this concept carfor the 1963 Paris Auto Show.It boasts a 327 smallblock V8 makin' 360 HRSPR."The power, she is nice, yes.But the look, look at the face.(grunts) She's absolutelya stallion (laughs)."From the angry frontvalance to the fastback,Pininfarina captured theessence of the Corvettewhile lending their ownEuropean twist to it.Now the only Rondine ever madesold at Barrett Jackson Auction in 2008,but can still be seen roamingthe American Southwest,collecting social security checksand eating at Cracker Barrel.-Fiat Panda Monster Truck.- On one hand, people hate monsters, okay?They're literally hunted by dudeswith torches and pitchforks, okay?On the other hand,people love pandasand it's literally illegal to hunt themunless you're the owner of Jimmy John's,then you can hunt whatever you wantand people still buy your freakin' subs,or that dentist who killed Cecil the lion.You think we forgot?Rest in peace, king (smacks lips).So what happens when youmix a panda and a monster?You get the Fiat PandaMonster Truck, of course,Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!Fiat Panda has been alittle off road legendin Europe for decades,but Fiat wanted to do something specialfor the third-gen refresh back in 2011.They took a Panda 4X4, putit on a Jeep CJ floor paneland threw some big oldthick-boy tires on it.How big you say?59 inches tall and almost 20 inches wide.The Panda itself is only 62 inches high.So the tires on theFiat Panda Monster Truckmake up almost half ofthe vehicle's height.In case you were wondering,a fully-grown Giant Pandais only three feet tall.But don't get all excitedand go checking Fakesbook Marketplaceor Gregslist or carsbymax.comfor a Fiat Panda Monster Truck,because it was only meantfor an ad campaign by Fiatto showcase the Panda's4X4 off road prowess.And it worked.I want a frickin' Panda now,both the car and the animal.but like not "Tiger King" style.Like I would take reallygood care of my panda.I'd grow him bamboo and tryand find him a girlfriend.- Mazda Furai.Before Rob Dahm's four-rotor RX-7,before Rob Dahm's three-rotor RX-7,there was the Mazda Furai concept.Now this, this really isthe one that got away.This three-rotorRENESIS-powered Mazda conceptnot only looks futuristic AFalmost 13 years after it debuted,also has some of the most insane specsof any driving concept car ever made.The three-rotor motor boatermade about 450 HRSPRS,but what's truly the mostinsane thing about this car:it weighs less than 1,500 pounds.To put that into perspectivethat is 900 pounds less than a Miatawith almost three timesthe amount of power.It was lighter than a 2016 spec F1 car.That's certified cuckoo bananas,are you even kiddin' me?I don't even know if Ican do this video anymore,I'm going so crazy.This is like the car that Mr. Beast made.It was designed using Mazda'sNagare design language,which is Japanese for flow.And the name Furai itselftranslates to the sound of the wind,and that's apparent in itsfuturistic aerodynamic shape.It even had little brake lightsthat had its name on it in Kanji.That's sick.I want brake lights to say my name on it.However, the dream of theFurai was over before it began.When my uncles at "TopGear" were testing it,the rotary engine caught fireand the entire car wasburnt down to Barney Rubble.- Mustang Shorty.- Now it's no secret thatwhen I was in high school,I wrapped under the nameMustang Shawty, ah-ha.So it was quite thesurprise when I learnedthat Fjord Motor Companyhad stolen and used myrap name, Mustang Shorty,for one of their prototypesyears before I was even born.The nerve!Mustang Shorty was aprototype of the Mustangthat Fjord was toying witha full two years before theproduction Mustang debutted.And look at this thing,it's freakin' sick.It had a wheel base afull 16 inches shorterthan a production Mustang and a 302 V8.This is like an American 240Zwith a five-liter V8 in it.People went absolutely bonkers for itwhen Ford debutted it atthe U.S. Grand Prix in 1962,and despite a bunch ofexpressions of interestand people clamoringto put their orders in,Ford never put it through to production.But who knows?If it was made, maybe we would have hadsome sort of Butterfly Effect,and Ashton Kutcher wouldhave never been born,and we would have never gotten "Punk'd,"and Zach Braff would havenever beaten up that child.That's a real thing.I'd love it if you wouldhit that Subscribe button,hit that notification bell.If you want to learn moreabout that insane W12 engine,check out this episode of "Bumper2Bumper."That's it. I'm going to bed.It's my dog's birthday.Max, don't sue me, please.(dramatic orchestra music)
