Should there be a limit on the car's horsepower?
depending on the type of car like minivans get 250HP and muscle cars get like 550HP
Max of 900 hp from the Factory, but MAX.
No, but people should know *what* they're making, and then put their own limit based on this, such as the FR Ferraris mentioned in the video
Hell noooooooooooooooo
Agreed@@RazvanYON
The idea of a license for high-powered cars is actually a good idea. It would stop inexperienced rich people from buying such cars and crashing them, while risking their lives and others. I think other countries should implement this.
Indeed. Today it is too easy to get a plus 350 hp car. It is just insane to think about it
It should be a driving and skills test on a sim with something realistically high powered that you can take right after your main test
Now this a gran turismo moment, gotta get all gold to get a free supercar
If a law is passed like this there is gonna be a shit ton of tuned cars
Nope
No car will ever be as brutal as the Speed 12. Even TVR said that it was too dangerous, a company that, we have to remember, sold cars with no electronic aids at all.
It had more HPs than Kilos, screw Koenigsegg One:1
@@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious the Koenigsegg was too refined, the TVR even had a full racing rollcage on the road version
And even with the small number of electronics they had it made them catch on fire probably more often than 80s italian supercars. Absolute legends, you know the car is good when it catches on fire randomly and you have to keep it hooked to a battery tender at all times.
@@fhkkjjk9255 ahahah fr, I absolutely adore TVR
Unfortunatly that seems like the way to create hype on a car that doesn't work (and it worked)
THE 812 LOOKS PHENOMENAL
I couldn't agree more
So astounding 😮
Had to come and see if the comments had their pitchforks out.
I’m certainly glad that I’m not the only one who took issue with that comment. Of course we all have different opinions and tastes, but the 812 is a masterful blend of functional yet graceful design, imho.
Only the F40 is better looking. 812 is absolutely gorgeous.
There is no such thing as too much horsepower, just not enough traction - Carol Shelby
Carol Shelby or anyone who knows how to drive
Just like good music can't be too loud 🔊
Isn't it Caroll Shelby? Either way he's right
1. Mercedes S63 AMG E Performance
2. Caterham V8 Superlight
3. Toyota TRD Camry (caught off guard by this one, but it makes sense!)
Good video, as always, Stype!
Camry isn't TRD but still a 300hp V6 model. It goes against everything that a Camry stands for - being a thinking man's car.
@@TopCarsTV what's the reasoning behind the rest of them?
@@TopCarsTV A MK2 Focus RS also has 300hp from 2.5L turbocharged Straight 5.
@@TopCarsTV I mean the same thing works for the Vectra OPC/VRX and the Passat R36 (Arteon R), but you don't see them rolling around with a lack of power.
@@hammaadhussain9974 S63 e-performance for being an angry 700hp luxury boat. Why?
Caterham is so light that with 500hp it just slides all over the place, like butter in a hot pan. Grip is what makes you go fast, but with double power/weight compared to Veyron, you'll struggle to keep that Caterham stuck to the road
I don't understand how you hate the 812 I think it looks menacing and the v12 sounds glorious
You know you are TOO EARLY when the video is just 720p
Yes
You know you are requesting pointless quality when you ask for 1080p
yeah
Do you mean 720HP🤓☝️
The 812 is my favourite 😂❤😅love it
Nice video! I like how TVR "detuned" their Speed12 engine from the official 800HP to 840HP... admitting that the actual power figure was way larger! 😆
Also, the AM Vantage looks way cooler than the Virage it's based on... which adds exactly to your point! It could easily be tuned down to around 450HP and still be the super cool looking car that it is and still boast respectable performances...
9:15 and the best looking CLK ever, when it comes to SLR looks, i personally prefer the Stirling Moss version that had simple styling and even still i prefer the AMG DTM, while the regular SLR wouldn't be my choice
I wish I could've seen the speed 12's test drive, must've been awe inspiring to scare the lad away from putting it into production
Your editing is completely nuts and this why I *love* this channel 😂. Discovered it randomly while spending time on VisioRacer videos and damn I subbed quickly 😄
One of those Great days when youtubers like this one upload.
Educational! Informative! ......and exciting to see too much POWER!
Always good when you upload big man
If I were to add a car, it would be the Land Rover Defender 90 with a V8. Having over 500 horsepower in a two door suv with a high center of gravity is sort of an accident waiting to happen. Even Doug DeMuro agrees on that one.
Doug is a example of a person who knows nothing about cars ,just watch is videos and the doug score ,but he does know about cup holders. As an example see him talking about a lamborguini 2+2 the espada ,he talks about the radio cassette player like if it was the brand who installed in the way he´s seeing and don´t have a brain to think that the place for the radio is not how it is in that car. I had a land-rover td110 and drove it off road for thousands of kms due to my work each month i would drive around 3.000 or more kms ,having using it to work for 15 years and now it´s just peersonalised and kept using it´s original BMW engine who is already powerfull enough ,defender is the model today but before it was just land-Rover and range-Rover but BMW made some extra models calling to the original land-rover, Defender, and just remenber that it was considered the most enviroment friendly car of the world ,compared to new electric cars ,mainly because it uses no plastic in it´s building,there are acessories but those extras i don´t have them in my car. They say Rover closed doors but so many new models driving around, Doug should be banned from youtube or call to his videos, comedy because it does made us laugh for years,he talks like all cars were made when he was 16 but no there are cars with 60 years or more on the roads
Another thing with the LS4 cars is that they’re attached to the atrocious 4T65 transmission that could barely handle the 200hp N/A 3800. They go through transmissions just about as much as they do tires
Bro is the definition of : underated
True AF
Thanks to this video, now i know something i didnt know i needed.
Get notifys in my car like those on the TVR.
Lets just pay respects to Michael Gambon (yes that guy from top gear)
First time here. I'm five months late, but I loved the content so much. The commentary was insanely funny and humorous. Love it. Love your work Sir, you're just awesome.
Hey Stype, have you ever heard of the SP Automotive chaos? This has two versions, Earth and Zero Gravity. I will talk about the Zero Gravity because it is the most powerful. The Zero Gravity version has 3000 HORSEPOWER, 0-60 in about 1.55 seconds, and a top speed of 310mph or 500 kilometers per hour! The world’s first Ultracar!!! I N S A N E
That's that Greek car. Yeah, I've heard about it, but I'll believe those numbers when the car comes out.
Also, it's incredibly ugly
Absolutely LOVE your videos!! LOL. I had a rotten day until I tuned in to your vids. Great sense of humor....I laughed my butt off and dug for more of you videos......keep up the good work!!
Need more content. You are super awesome ✌🏽
You lost me at too much✋...don't need that negative energy 😂
Love these videos
Where is Koenigsegg Gemera? That thing literally has 2300 HORSEPOWERRRR!!!!
Maybe it's slow. We don't know yet
@@TopCarsTVbruh
The dodge demon wasn’t even on there as well and it’s got over 1000
I don't think "hypercar" will cut it anymore. We should start calling them "ultracars"
Just like Clarkson said in the TVR Sagaris review: Just don't crash
Hello Stype I've missed you I have now missed videos worth 2 or 3 months now. Anyway keep doing your thing cuz this is quality entertainment.
finally an upload
cant get enough on you
The cerebera speed 12 story is awesome ! Such a crazy car.
Love the use of Danger Ehren for the bear in the room joke on the 812 Ferrari. Nice.
It's ironic that this popped up just now on my feed. I've just bought a TVR Cerbera v8. Although not the speed 12, it's a 2500lb car with a 400hp race engine...
Great video 😄
Bro how did you forget Koenigsegg Gemera, I mean that's true definition of overpowered family car.
Great video! What are your thoughts about the Ford Shelby Mustang Mach E by the way?
Bro!!!!!
Nice video!!!!
honestly the 812 looks sick for my taste, needless to say about the n-largo body kit
Yeah you're very right I love the looks of the 812 and the aeros around the car for aerodynamics because Ferrari won't put a wing on their cars
Imagine having a detuned engine and still making as much power as a Dodge Demon
The 620r, 812, Tvr speed 12, clk dtm and r34 gtr might be monsters but, in their own way are really cool.
Also what about the carrera gt?
nah cgt is a ok car people just neglect the tyres
@@richardtheedition1003 also don't forget about the factory shocks in the CGT
The Carrara GT’s V10 was strong, but not too over the top and the car was extremely balanced.
Actually makes sense, if you're car has a higher horsepower, than you should prove you can drive it!
Stype channeling his *Inner Jeremy Clarkson* with these cars. Pretty great video to watch on my 32th birthday.
Drove an 812 Superfast in vegas for an entire day. Absolutely INSANE car. Scary when you wanted it.
I recently bought an 08' Impala SS Black on Black, and I LOVE IT!! Only issue it's bone stock except I bought a chip to delete that stupid Advanced Fuel BS so that way all 8cyl fire NON-STOP!! It's not a Mustang but man what it's really fun to drive especially when ppl don't know what it is and you may an ass whooping on them. Next step is for sure a real exhaust system later on some bolt ons and cams....
My Kona has 310whp and it’s hard to have fun without the collision sensor telling me about a car in front most of the time.
kona in portuguese is the reprodutive aparatus of women with a c instead of a K . Our dictator in the 60´s even said to Opel to change the name of the model ASCONA, it was sold under the name 1604, it changes with the engine capacity because of the word cona it sounds the same as kona
Kona is econobox
@@AK.__ duh.
@@punemax I haven't meant that it something bad. It just type of cars that people drive. Relatively small, budget, generic design. Each one with their preferences and budget.
@@AK.__ im sorry, I get so much hate from it that im just always ready to fire back, recently I got the car tuned. Theres a video on my channel.
The honorable mentions have got me thinking
Ever drive a Redeye Charger? I've owned one over a year and have never had a close call because I realize how easily you can lose control if you don't respect the power. Not that I don't enjoy embarrassing the occasional wide open throttle blast. But I have to agree with Shelby that there is no such thing as too much power. It's no secret that hellcats have traction issues. Still the most fun car I have ever owned.
It's been a while that I laughed that much. Your talking, what you talk, you could do stand-up comedy! Do you?
I don't
@@TopCarsTVyou should, go for it
There is no such thing as to much powah. Just inadequate drivers. 😉
This was interesting 😁
They should do an advanced driving course when they buy a powerful car🎉
This are my thoughts when watching this:
this video tells me that 500hp is the limit you can have on the road, either be it an SUV or sudan, if a ferrari with 800hp is too much, then half of that would be considered enough power, so 500hp it is. 300 hp is for sports cars, and 100 to 200hp for economy cars.
I like the 812 Superfast and I knew it would be on this list. It also looks fantastic and without that aero it would probably be undrivable for any normal human.
Honourable Mentions
1. Mercedes S Class E Performance
2. Caterham 620r
3. Toyota Camry TRD(not sure)
Ahh yes....the TVR Speed 12....what an awesome car that would have been if it was allowed to be made. Just make sure it had a full aero kit and ABS at least. I think the V12 was made by TVR joining 2 of their straight 6 engines?
You're correct about 2x Straight Six
@@TopCarsTVhey can I be mentioned
@@dyaanahmad5079 why?
yes normally is that what happens but a straight six is a more perfect engine ,the V engine doesn´t work with perfect tunning because it´s just not possible by the way both sides work, while a 6 cylinder engine works perfect even cold it doesn´t vibrate at all ,or the same as being not started like old ferrari´s correctelly working, the TVR is a great car ,i own the first version of the cerebra which if well tunned it´s one of my favorite cars, today my cars are stopped for a long time ,sometimes when starting one is in need of being tunned by a mechanic who knows how to work with them, some are only curious and when leaving the car instead of perfectelly tuned is even worst than it was
Hell, with a lightened and caged Del Sol (2200lb) making 350whp, i had two stage boost control for traction reasons for street use
Youre becoming my favorite TH-camrs!
Yay! Thank you!
Koenigsegg, how can a person buy this monster and can drive them…unbelievable
Good vid sir
Since there are some extremely wealthy people that can afford a very limited production and expensive super car, there will be a few extreme cars with over 1000 horsepower. However, when it comes to the real world, with real city streets, real highways, and real freeways a car with around 200 horsepower is plenty of power for all the various forms of street driving
I want that Vantage!
"It's just the driver that cannot handle the HorsePowers; for example, racing a "Top Fuel Dragster" over "10,000 HP" Racing Down The "1320 Mile" Drag Racing. Running In The "3's ET" Over "367 MPH" In The "NHRA'S History.""
The desire for power over handling only comes from those who don't know how to drive,
After we saw the change that happened with the genesis gv80. Talk about a cars that changed from the concept model to the final model
The guy in the chair and trowing cashes is so funny 😂😂😂😂
finally, new vid
I have a car with less than 150 horsepower. I feel that there isn't too much horsepower for any vehicle, but should be limited to who can buy them, such as accidents on license, tickets, etc. Now no one would say a Dodge Hellcat is good for an 18 year old.
I also feel that the government is forcing companies to regulate everything, and if you want something a certain way, such as more horsepower, you will have to get an older car to have a chance at modifications, because many mechanics cannot fool with the new technology these day, and because there are so many systems to control how you drive.
I am for horsepower, just to have it, not to abuse it.
V6 Camry?
Yes. That too much power for this sedan and older model XV40 got kinda soft suspension too.
Seriously if anyone has taken a step back and looked more then 150hp is plenty for the masses. As I have seen people with 200hp cars get into a mess let alone with cars that have more then that amount. It takes experience and skill to handle a powerful car full stop
TVR!!!Man....that car is my favourite...in GT i always picked that as my race car.Well...less weight,high power and no safety aids(other than the rollcage)it is a recipe of an evil car,but yet,i love the car.
I have to disagree on your opinion about the 812s design. Imo this is one of the most beautiful modern cars and the most beautiful modern Ferrari (aside from the 458)
What's up with the speed 12's dashboard?
The vantage probably sounds good
6:49 i laughed at this
2:07 got me dying lol
"There is never to much horsepower just not enough traction"-carrol shelby
Seeing that stripped purple TVR Speed 12 made me cry. 😭
“Pit you bastard!”
-speed 12
Upload more videos brother !! LOVE FROM INDIA
0:58 two superchargers? That's overkill. No wonder you don't hear of that car anymore.
@TopCarsTV . You forgot DODGE DEMON 170 😅 brother. Anyway I love your videos
Demon doesn't have too much power considering what it's made for. Compared to other drag racers 1000hp is nowhere near enough.
A bigger problem with the Demon are its tires which aren't very suitable for the regular road use.
I would also add: basically every electric crossover :)
Pretty much yeah. Honestly 250hp is enough for a regular A-to-B car. After that, focus on the range
A lot of people are getting out of touch with reality, i remember Doug Demuro saying that the new Prius is slow when it does 0-60 in like 6 seconds...
The funny thing is that today we have hybrid hypercars that can make anywhere between 800hp and 2000hp
This channel is so cozy...
300 HP is the sweet spot for me personally.
would disagree on the Skyline. 360BHP on an AWD car is definitely not too much, the tuning scene proves it :)
3:05 ahhh america !
Okay, I want to add two cars to this list, the M-B G900 rocket amg because it's a freaking G-wagon with 900hp, and the Dodge Challenger demon 170 because it's a 1000+hp muscle car with no hint of drivability
There is nothing like too much power, there is just not enough traction. -Carrol Shelby 🗿
4:00 the 812 super fast is the Italian Dodge viper 1st gen
One thing about the Nevera it wasnt mentioned
The Nevera broke around 27 world records at once, _27,_ I'm someone who really doesnt like eletric cars, that is an insane milestone for any car
I would still pick tbe Cerbera, I dont have love for life whatsoever
1:49
The SS Imp wasn't a bad car in the power range. It was just the so shitty unreliable 4-speed they all used until it was discontinued. Up until 2012, the SS was replaced with the more base versions overall, with the same power put in a V6 VVT and a way better transmission, a 6 speed auto. Those engines were slightly upgraded and more powerful in 2014 when the power bumped from 300 to 305. Not a huge increase, but just enough.
Going back to the SS though, if they would have thought of putting a more reliable transmission in it, also maybe make it a RWD car instead of the FWD they used, it may have actually stayed on the market.
The JDM Supra had different Turbo´s and cams compared to the US-Spec and Eurospec Supra´s. Not saying they were not understating the power of the JDM model, just that they were different :P
That TVR never really went into production though... 10 cars were built for crash tests, only 3 weren't wrecked. TVR has one, of one I have no clue (racing?), but one of them ended up on the streets. So yeah, does have too much power, even TVR thought so - but I'm pretty sure whoever has ever owned that single existing one, was very well aware of it. It was sold on auction some time ago, sale price was half a million - which actually sounds kinda cheap, considering what it is.
All you really need is a beautiful car with 300hp and a decent stereo. There's no Autobahn in America and you're probably not Don Garlits either.
No such thing as too much power. Definitely such a thing as not enough grip, handling, talent or luck! 😂
Never heard of too much power? There's never enough.
when i heard the CLK DTM i knew exactly what the problem was
The fact that the got 400hp from each wheel just makes you how much it was making at the crank
7:45 don’t you dare remind me of the bmw 3, I have nightmares from that car
