If you like tiny cars that have amazing performance specifications, then this 2023 lineup review is right for you. Which of these newcomers is your favorite?

[@ashwinbalu]

Instead of a corvette or a Porsche I would go for the lotus Emira

[@automotiveterritory]

It's a really nice pick indeed

[@davidpickens3117]

I like the style of some of these cars. But at 6’5” tall I’d have a hard time getting into them

[@automotiveterritory]

Yeah, it would be hard for you indeed

[@markgrocott6551]

The Lotus with the Mercedes engine is the one for me. Somehow, I'm thinking you'll won't see me Mcmuertry or the KTM on the roads as they will be a bit top track orientated for most peoples liking.

[@markbaum9615]

The totum is design elegance..nicest looking... The spearling has to be the most intense and visceral feeling And the cosworth revving to 11,000 has to be the best sound.... Lastly, the lotus is easily the most reliable and value oriented with the optional Toyota powerplant

[@user-pd8fj6np1k]

Duuude!! This video and your voice description is remind me of old NFS games Like Hot Pursuit, where was car descriptions like yours))) If EA made something like that game, with supercars AND your description, that would be EPIC!) Great voice,Bro))

[@automotiveterritory]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@ceased2care]

The McMurtry is amazing, but you really need two seats to qualify as a legitimate road car

[@hawkshadowoseanacy5171]

The f22 is pretty cool looking.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the F22 could have done with a lightweight aluminium alloy spaceframe instead of the tubular steel frame . . . for e.g. Audi R8 (Type 4S) QUATTRO® AWD + 0.5 in. Lift 5.4 V10 2-Dr Sports Coupe (LHD) has a super stiff aluminium alloy spaceframe & carbon fiber secondary structures . . . for enhanced structural rigidity & safety a FIA certified bespoke roll cage could have been added to the cabin interior of a aluminium alloy spaceframe Donkervoort F22 2.5 Biturbo I5 2-Dr Roadster (LHD) . . . furthermore the Donkervoort F22 2.5 Biturbo I5 2-Dr Roadster (LHD) could do with a ABT tuned 4.2 TSI V8 mated to a torque converter 8-speed auto transmission . . . the Donkervoort F22 2.5 Biturbo I5 2-Dr Roadster (LHD) is too expensive for what your getting and for safety's sake all Donkervoort F22 2.5 Biturbo I5 2-Dr Roadster (LHD) should feature ABS EBD & Traction Control III as standard . . . not to mention driver & passenger side air bags and ADAS . . . only then the €300,000 price tag makes sense to a buyer . . . if I'm paying €300,000 for a car then i want the best there is . . .

[@MichaelRoy-hc3lz]

The GMA T33 Spider is even more beautiful than the coupe. Gordon has shown that aero can also be pretty without a bunch of slots vents and wings

[@automotiveterritory]

Yes, an awesome vehicle indeed

[@user-pd8fj6np1k]

Gordon Murrey. No Doubt.

[@automotiveterritory]

Awesome choice!

[@alwinbenjamin]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@patrickesteban9581]

The most impressive…..Mc Murtry Spearling! The Gordon Murray T33 is apart and….far too expensive! My favorite and the less expensive,the Caterham 420s!😘👍

[@automotiveterritory]

All of those are amazing picks!

[@mohammadayub6638]

1st comment, like and view.

[@automotiveterritory]

Thanks for being here so early. How did you like the lineup?

[@matthewaldrich4624]

Why is that Ariel so heavy?

[@Metalhead_i..i]

Lol the price tags on most of these 🤣

[@RealziesCuts]

Camaro 🏆 110 days alcohol free team Jesus winning 🥇

[@claudevictor3621]

Alfa 4 is missing

[@automotiveterritory]

Nice suggestion, I will check it out

[@rob379lqz]

Nonono… $300K is $150K overpriced for a DunkWart.

[@automotiveterritory]

How much do you think vehicles like these should go for?

[@rob379lqz]

Simple. The Donkervoort is a fantastic automobile. Howerever, for $300K, the must provide a identical-twin - and same gender (per-se). So Two-For-One, and also a full replacement engine, transmission, drive train, brakes, 2 sets of tyres of owners choice within an all-inclusive time-frame snd warrenty of 6 years fro purchase dated. Oh, and free oil changes (every 6, 12, 24, 36 48 month, 72 month services.

[@FairladyS130]

EV's need to be listed separately from ICE, most buyers will want one type or the other.

[@automotiveterritory]

I don't think that it's the case anymore. As more people are open to getting an EV, I think it's important to cover all options.

[@kjss4345]

Show me 12 unrealistic expensive toys😂

[@michaelteret4763]

Nothing under $50K, huh? Too bad.

[@nrs6956]

Market now dominated by GD SUVs.

[@rob379lqz]

Many are money-launderers.

[@rougeirishman0118]

Leave it to the Americans to butcher every single car name😂
