When Car Brands Go Crazy

when car brands go crazy starting off with a wolf and sheep's clothing this you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a normal car from the' 60s or the 70s and well it is it's a Chrysler that had a top speed of 120 M or 190 km per hour normal is a bit wrong because this is the back end of it spot something yeah those are nozzles that's because this thing had a gas turbine engine gas turbine engines are used in this this this and this as well as Chrysler was researching turbine engines prior to World

War II they had the crazy idea of slapping one in a car let me give you some more crazy information it idled at 18,000 to 22,000 RPM and could go up to 60,000 when going 120 mph the fuel it used was diesel fuel unloaded gasoline and kerosene it could also operate on furnace oil and perfume to peanut and soybean o oils of course the Mexicans finding out about this were particularly excited and the president at the time ran one on tequila True Story by the way you may also think that a jet engine would burn

everything behind it right well idling temperature was 82° C or 18 180° [Music] f i you pick up [Music] your how could I not I'll be honest this is a when car brands go crazy video but this isn't a car brand going crazy it's a car brand losing the plot this is not a banger what are you selling makeup clothes perfumes a drune ripoff that's about to hit the theaters list like what were they thinking this is a Jaguar not some random brand that start a decade or two ago this is the same brand that

gave us the E type called the most beautiful car ever made but you know some random Italian Grandpa who goes by Enzo Ferrari the dtype the xj13 the xj220 and the cx75 just to name a few now we're stuck with whatever this is this fallof needs to be studied I'm not a marketing student in fact I don't know anything about marketing except one thing marketing should be done in a way where people take notice and I have no doubt that was the goal here just to get people to notice they could care less about the

type of attention let's take a look at their Twitter announcement 170 million views 28,000 likes but 126,000 comments enough of their stupidity let's take a look at what they're making surely it can't be that bad right it's not even out yet but I can tell it's terrible why because it's electric cars going Electric is so painful honestly because there's zero need for it this is a type 001 concept it's just a ripoff Rolls-Royce Spectre mixed with some sci-fi futuristic aspects I'm not going to say this is ugly because it doesn't need to be said they've

butchered the brand that's it the Bugatti veyon Rejoice it's finally made it to the channel unlike the previous car this one is a positive segment of a car brand going absolutely nuts it's 2005 YouTube was just created Crazy Frog was on every phone McLaren was spying on Ferrari in Formula 1 and big Kim's father said that he has big pointy missiles it seems Volkswagen and Bugatti realized that the year was crazy so why not make it crazier what better way than to Dethrone the car that held the world record for the fastest the McLaren F1

to do so especially considering that Bugatti is not just a brand that makes fast cars they're a luxury brand you need to pull off a generational engineering feat and oh boy did they pull one off the veon the reason why car brands are car brands and why they make cars is because they profit off of their vehicles without profit they won't stay in business this is fundamental it's obvious I mean who on Earth would create a car that doesn't make profit hello yeah the Veyron cost it $1.2 million already one of the most expensive new

cars ever made at the time yet every single time some dude bought one volkswalk lost $6.2 million in total they lost over $1.5 billion the development cost is the reason why this figure is actually so high I mean w16 Engine with over 1,000 horsepower and a car that is extremely luxurious and as a result heavy would require so much engineering this car also has 10 radiators a set of tires costing $38,000 wheels that need to be replaced every 10,000 Mi costing 50 [Music] ,000 let's head to 1966 where Ford has just beaten Ferrari at Lamar

oh no wait I ruined this all right okay let's Jump Ahead a few years to 1970 by the time the' 70s rolled in American Gas guzzling cars were becoming less popular because people actually needed to put food on the table Japanese car brands were soaring in popularity because they were cheaper and more economical there were many attempts by four to counter their growing influence which is what led to the pinto no the pinto became the first subcompact vehicle to be produced in North America and took just 25 months to be designed and developed compared to

the usual 43 months want to know what happens if you finish too quickly the fuel tank in the pinto was located behind the rear axle close to the rear bumper what this meant was that when a Pinto got rear ended the fuel tank would be punctured either by the impact or by the sharp pieces because of how quickly the car was developed Ford didn't put any liners or rubber insulation here's the shocking part though Ford knew about this because they crash tested the car even at speeds as low as 25 M hour the car would

still be at risk of catching on fire after a rear-end Collision which resulted in the test dummy sustaining fatal injuries in some scenarios but fear not you see they knew about this which meant that they could actually fix it I mean what would we do if they hadn't right right right America is known for a few things but the most common is money America loves money and they love making money because making money means making profit because why have $100 billion when you can have $101 billion Ford did a cost benefit analysis where they estimated

fixing this by developing a new gas tank would cost them over $130 million in contrast the expected cost from liability or Court proceedings would cost roughly $50 million Ford did fix this issue after pressure mounted but goodness gracious what a mess I'm tired of flying honestly let's just stay in America in fact I'm just tired in general let's just stay in the same state Dodge known for making dodgy car we've seen instances here where car brands have gone crazy but Dodge has arguably always been crazy when they first made The Supercharged V8 Hemi it seems

they had an epiphany this engine can be slapped into anything so after railing a few lines of cod they decided to slap it in everything a pickup truck yep the TRX a sedan yeah they've done that with the charger a sports car yep the Challenger how about a family SUV yep they've got the trackhawk how about a slightly bigger family SUV oh no they got that too the Hellcat engine is probably the most American thing I have ever seen well apart from cheeseburg supercharged 6.2 L V8 with the engine block itself being made of cost

iron weighing almost £1,000 or 400 kg this thing pushed over 700 horsepower wow crazy in certain other variations such as the Hennessy Hellcat red eyee it can push over a thousand Dodge was Aura farming with this engine and they lost all of their Aura immediately afterwards by releasing this this is going to be a multi-part series so stick around and don't forget to join the Discord if you want to see more car content
