Many inaccuracies here for instance the Isetta was not a BMW design but started off as an Italian company, Iso Isetta, where the car was later licenced to BMW and other companies for manufacture. The fact that you claimed it was a BMW design means you need to research your car history before spouting off in your videos.
Chrysler made 50 of its turbine car (or 50 of the "famous" one; the program itself ran until the late 70s or early 80s). These were lent to the public for a few months to see how well they worked in real-world conditions. Decades later, one of these beta testers wrote about his experience. The quirks of the Turbine included: 1) The exhaust was extremely hot -- don't walk too closely behind one when it's running! 2) Turbine engines don't have much engine braking, so it didn't slow down as fast as you'd expect when you lifted up the throttle. 3) I read somewhere else that there was acceleration lag, which in retrospect isn't surprising considering the engine is one giant turbo. 4) My favorite quirk: The whine of the engine wasn't audible to people, but the driver started his car, his dog howled like the world was coming to an end. Chrysler never made a turbine car, but the effort didn't go to waste. The Chrysler-designed M1 Abrams tank uses a turbine engine.
Hey Ben. The exhaust was not even as hot as the exaust from a tradional IC car, although most people expected it to be extremely hot. Further, the engine whine WAS audible and sounded like a vacuum cleaner, although the sound did not change with the car's speed or load.
If the brakes failed, on a Model T, you shut the ignition off & leave it in gear. It will engine brake to a stop. Also, the brakes were mechanical, not hydraulic, so while that can still fail, you should have noticed an issue during the pre-flight inspection...
He claims the Ford model T was the first mass produced car yet that distinction actually goes to the Thomas B Jeffrey Rambler (yes THAT Rambler) and the 1902 Oldsmobile model R curved dash. Both were being mass produced before the 1908 Ford T. And Henry had already bankrupted 2 car companies by then.
Yeah, the Model T was just the first affordable mass-produced car to catch on. It also wasn't as bad or unsafe as the video makes it out to be, back in the day all cars were pretty much like that and people drove accordingly - which is to say, much more slowly. The things only had a top speed of about 42 mph anyway, and speed limits were much lower than that. Plus, roads were rough and unpaved, so the cars basically had to be as tough as trucks to drive anywhere. As cars got faster and more advanced, safety and convenience got better with them. The Model T seems primitive now, but it was state of the art technology when it was new, and deserves respect even if it wasn't perfect. It was and is a significant car for sure.
Reverse doesn't have "more horsepower", reverse is just the lowest gear in any car. You only want to go so fast in reverse, right? (2 Fast 2 Furious lied to you.) So naturally it'd be a lower ratio than first. Lower ratio = faster acceleration. Gearing doesn't give a car " more horsepower".
The 2003 SSR had 300hp, but it also weighed ~4700 pounds The 2003 Civic had 197hp & weighed 2654lbs. SSR: 15.7lb per hp. Type R: 13.5lb per hp The Civic had less power, but was still faster.
IMO, nothing can top the 1954 ford fx atmos with the 2 big needles!/antennas sticking out of the front of the car. Yes, just a pushmobile, but still dangeous standing still.
5:52 but Issetta have four seatter versions but quircky think. This cars have original front door and only have one back door. And also this car isn’t first made by BMW! The first pruduser of this car is a Italian motorcycle and fridge company called Iso.
The pickup at 3:51 looks cooler than the New Beetle, at least. Or rather, it looks more flamboyant. It's a little short on taste from some angles, but it's still more fun than a New Beetle.
A special version of the Kawasaki KLR 650 was built for the United States Marine Corps, designed to run on diesel. Why a diesel motorcycle? Rather than gasoline, they wanted a motorcycle that could run on any fuel that would be readily available on the battlefield, such as diesel or even jet fuel.
For its time the Model T was relatively safe compared to a lot of its contemporaries, however Ford - much like a certain modern egotist who's poor leadership is ruining the company he bought - genuinely believed it didn't need any updates. The only updates it got over it's life time were an electric starter and the bodies getting visually updated. Other cars were getting all wheel breaks while ford stubbornly stuck with rear wheel only. And later, with the Model B and V8, he stuck with rod actuated breaks for years after servo boosted hydrolic ones were available on competitors. The Chrysler Turbine car is interesting, but wasn't the first car to use a turbine engine - that'd be the Rover Jet. A fairly conservative British saloon converted into a jet powered sports coupe. The Helicron also had rear wheel steering, just to make it feel that much safer! As for other cars I'd rate as being worth a look: Rumpler Tropfenwagen, an Uber streamlined 1920's saloon that ended up being used in the seminal film Metropolis to represent a far future vehicle - and was mostly used IRL as a taxi as they didn't sell well. The products of Avions Voisin, made by an aircraft designer rather more sane - but still deliciously FRONCH - than the creator of the Helicron. His cars were truly unique looking. The Bugatti Royale, a car so large and exclusive Lalique was hired to make bonet mascots for a lot of them. And since they were far too expensive to sell in great numbers, the excess 12.8litre strait eight engines were repurposed. They used them to power high speed railcars. The NSU Ro80, a car decades ahead of its time cursed with an engine so expensive to develop it near bankrupted it's maker. VW bought them out and they became part of Audi. Citroen Ami 8, because nothing is normal on that thing. 2cv platform, but utterly mad styling. Subaru SVX, Subaru decides to make a grand tourer. The Mazda Cosmo of the 90's was Mazda doing the same, but with an engine based on the same ideas as the Ro80's. The Peugeot 1007, a city car that didn't understand it's one job in life. The Renault Aventine, because people carriers make a completely sane basis for a luxury coupe? The Lotus Carlton, or "Let's take a very dull GM big saloon and make it go faster and better through the corners than most Ferraris." The Vauxhall VX220, or "GM really needs something in their European line up to have any personality before all our buyers die of old age. Call up lotus and ask if they can build us something based on one of their cars if we give them some engines." The Ssangyong Rodius, or any other Ssangyong model of its era, because we had to suffer through seeing those goppingly ugly things and pain is best shared. The Citroen DS, SM, CX, ZX and C6. Because no list of weird cars can miss them. And of course the Daihatsu Naked. There's nothing particularly odd about the Daihatsu Naked, just it's name is funny.
some other cars you should mention in another video is the fiat 126 the ford gt40 the shelby cobra the bmw m1 the volkswagan karmann ghia and also, another ford car that had big safety problems was the ford pinto, its fuel tank would explode if hit from the back in some cases, and ford didnt do a recall because they calculated that fighting the legal fees would be less money then a recall also, life is a highway
Ah, the Chrysler Turbine. It’s one of my favorite cars ever, it’s such a shame it was cancelled.
can it run on diesel💀
@ It runs on literally anything that burns. When they tested the car in France they put perfume in the tank and it drove perfectly fine.
part of the reason they are gone was emissions were too high. But its ok if you are Jay Leno rules don’t apply when you are rich.
The model T didn't have more horsepower, it just had more torque in reverse because of the gearing.

Bravo, excellent info!! I'm going to add my personal favorite quirk....Jay Leno owns one and actually drives it like a mf badass

@@bobtepedino5661 I heard there was an extremely sophisticated cooling system for the exhaust strictly for this purpose
@@is300Gang The exhaust heat was "scavenged," as Chrysler engineers put it.
its fucking diabolical how underated you are
It is a CRIME
How do you not have at least 1000 subs, this is a masterpiece

Perfect video broski. TH-cam algorithm blessed us
unexpected roblox! you did really good job on this video!!
hey do you know about the car called the Trabant? I think you'd enjoy it's humble silliness
yo dude, you have to peek at the citroen 2cv.
Reverse doesn't have "more horsepower", reverse is just the lowest gear in any car. You only want to go so fast in reverse, right? (2 Fast 2 Furious lied to you.) So naturally it'd be a lower ratio than first. Lower ratio = faster acceleration. Gearing doesn't give a car " more horsepower".
Isetta is from iso rivola NOT from bmw
He's young and therefore uniformed about many things car related.
You should do weird trains next. Stuff like bullieds leader, the erie triplex, and the shay
Damn bro, I’m happy about this video

There was also a semi truck wienermobile in a 1994 commercial, big and juicy but my prediction is it got dismantled. Only showed up one time anyway

Rover in the UK built the first turbine car, it was tested to 152 mph in 1952.

Nice video

Turbines need like 70% power to idle, that's why they're great for jets but horrible for cars.
ya turn it off!!!
tl;dr turbines are absolutely goated... if you can build one
A special version of the Kawasaki KLR 650 was built for the United States Marine Corps, designed to run on diesel. Why a diesel motorcycle? Rather than gasoline, they wanted a motorcycle that could run on any fuel that would be readily available on the battlefield, such as diesel or even jet fuel.
6:08 guy magically creates a side door with a briefcase
Pretty sure that's the storage compartment. You can see what seems to be an opening on that side in the very next image.
Hm love the style

Yo, you like cars?
My dad used to have a chrysler turbine
It was never sold.
some other cars you should mention in another video is
the fiat 126
the ford gt40
the shelby cobra
the bmw m1
the volkswagan karmann ghia
and also, another ford car that had big safety problems was the ford pinto, its fuel tank would explode if hit from the back in some cases, and ford didnt do a recall because they calculated that fighting the legal fees would be less money then a recall
also, life is a highway
The SSR looks much more like the ‘47 Chevy trucks. Still a kind of bastardized rendition though.
ther is a isetta remake it is ment to look the same but is electric
Wait where's the edsel?🤨
Your forgot 0:14 aka the reliant robin
Bobuk Car
very nice, get rid of the roblox
Why? It's a refreshing change from the human-or-nothing of basically everyone else. (Everyone that I watch, anyway.
