Thomas And James Design Their Perfect Sports Car

[@Thesketchmonkey]

Had a blast "designing" this monstrosity, thanks for the invitation guys!

[@chrissy.v]

Idk. To me the dimensions just aren't right

[@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire]

Looks good, like a modernized Brera

thanks bro

@TheSketchMonkey you do some brilliant work dude. This wasn't one of them to no fault of your own 🤙

I think an egg might actually be a better steering wheel design than what Tesla came up with.

[@tomraymond9795]

It's an abomination... on an otherwise decent ev fast saloon Elon's trying to get us ready for the self driving future with retractable steering... ...by making the driving experience terrible!

[@raginOKCTHUNDER]

Okay, that car render at the end is actually pretty fucking awesome looking.

[@RmB9104]

Agree, but perhaps the front wheel is too close to the windshield.

[@tylergentry8079]

It is. Only critique is I don't think the Ioniq rear end is the answer for a sports car and kinda ruins it for me. Other than that, epic!

[@joefather2463]

@@tylergentry8079 I thought that was kinda odd too. tbf idk what I would say; Probably Porsche 911 or maybe even the charger.. I like the C8 tailights a lot too..

[@joshlien2118]

@@tylergentry8079 yea it makes it look like an early 2000s civic

[@londonschabes8641]

[@quochuynhminh510]

I think you guys might have forgot about the Lexus LC500 gauge cluster, that one is awesome

[@andrewmemije]

Literally was going to say!

[@sashanksriram29]

I said it too!!!

[@mixswist]

Right? I also thought they will choose the Lexus gauge cluster.

[@RamblinRichard]

You are right that is the best, but I think technically it's outside the price range

[@theofficialwizard2753]

Exactly my thoughts lol

[@tanxman5]

The philosophy behind this really reminds me of when we made the GTI W12 650 concept. They pulled parts from all of their brands and built a 2-door hatchback with a mid-mounted twin turbo W12. That's my dream Frankenstein car. Though I may have to go with the V10 too.

[@tanxman5]

@@Gandalf721 haha I still love it. Who cares that the modern GTI with 1/3 the power got around the Top Gear test track faster? I want to build one and spin out all the time.

[@aron_99]

You two could ramble on about bricks and I'd still watch :) Keep these coming boys!

[@CupOfJav]

Look what they designed. They did ramble on about a brick. 😂

[@erichellner956]

They can start with Tesla!

[@googleleavemynamealone9145]

I would have said the movable Lexus Gauge clusters. But the Porsche Analog/Digital blend is perfect. Cant believe Porsche got rid of it on the new ones for .... a flat Samsung display. Real shame losing that perfect blend :(

[@fruitypebbels1191]

Yes I said the same thing, the rc f lexus gauge cluster would’ve been the best with the classic manual

[@googleleavemynamealone9145]

@@Gandalf721 probably just slipped their mind

[@jhonnydrop7100]

I was just about to comment this. I was practically shouting at my screen… “lexus IS/LC gauge cluster!

How they included NO LC500 PARTS on this car is a fucking crime!

I'm watching from Ukraine, thank you guys for the stress relief, much needed.

How thoughts are with you, glad you found some relief in thus episode, what a sad day for Ukraine.

[@thomasholland8436]

Stay safe. Sorry you guys are going through this.

[@vincentjoyce5100]

Please have faith. Good defeats evil everytime.

[@PalmerColin]

Thank you for the thoughts, and so chuffed to get a direct comment from Thomas. Artillery fire woke us this morning, but I digress. So, I managed most of the EV6 review, but a favour to ask for the main channel - could you make your reviews a little longer, just a few more minutes, please? It is my go to escape and I'm loathing when the reviews end. Love both your channels btw.

[@zeteclover]

James is HILARIOUS, but especially at 23:30. The eye contact and delivery had me laughing so hard. You guys are gems, thank you for all the incredible content!

[@partialobject]

one hundred percent, that bit was savage.

[@DFWsCars]

He’s hilarious and Thomas’s sarcasm work so well

[@huggci3985]

Every time I see that there is a new video from throttle house It makes my day better

You just wanted some likes that's it.

[@WallyBGoode]

I completely agree

[@Matt-gn7uz]

Same!

[@julianray5240]

I honestly don’t know what it is, but the spirit, love, and respect these guys gave for cars reminds me of James, Jeremy, and Hammond. Plus they have the natural humor and irreverence that the top gear trio thrived on

[@trmoore0922]

Congrats, you've built the next gen Viper

[@CobraGuitarRocker]

Exactly my thoughts as well.

[@maverickphantom005]

Counting that front is a Stelantis and the rear is 80’s …. Yeah

[@wilbeugre]

It looks like an Alfa Brera...with a more "cubic" backside Nice Idea though (I'll need time to think about my version) Thanks again guys!

[@samhwy3429]

The squashed ionic backend shooting break was honestly really sick

[@stevenkutschat]

I think that the new ionic could have been great but it ended up full of disappointment and sadness. That being said the rear-end really works here.

[@wheres_walido]

Yes, yes… more of these videos, picking the best pieces of different cars. This was a blast to watch. Glad someone already said the Lexus gauge cluster too, first thing that popped into my head. Lovely stuff boys, and what a sketch! Well done SketchMonkey.

[@centralintelligenceagency9082]

THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERIES

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

11:26 I love how Thomas takes it with such seriousness. He's being so careful and diplomatic about it! 🤓

[@sofullcole]

Please keep doing extra Throttle house vids. We love hearing you guys talk on a more casual level!

[@GavinByrneLand]

I'm getting angular Alfa Brera vibes. Great fun watching you come up with this, more of these videos please.

[@brianc7474]

You guys have completely lost your minds and I love it.

[@johnwimer4891]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, guys! Glad you brought in Sketchmonkey too! A+++

[@caulder2046]

Super cool to see two of my favorite auto channels working together on such a sweet project!

[@kamikazi5144]

I love the chemistry between you guys, you guys are really good friends and it translates so well into the content

[@hawkman996]

I dig it! Sketchmonkey did a great job designing this frakencar and it was fun watching you guys come up with this monstrosity. Haha Only thing I would change is type r seats but in blue to match exterior. Also the lexus lc500 dash.

[@thiccboi1726]

The m4 carbon bucket seats look way nicer though

[@xkc9689]

I had a real rough night, came home from work @10:30 pm. Your video saved me so much sorrow. Thank you❤️

[@tomraymond9795]

This was a great idea guys! More of this please! Next, best franken-track-weapon for under £100k / dollar equiv. Then maybe an adventure truck/ SUV, maybe even Baja kinda shizzle...

[@All_Together_Now]

I’ve been making my “franken-car” in my head for years now and currently i’m locked into a restomod 911 with the RSR fender flares and duck tail spoiler (like a singer), and a 300+hp, 12k rpm hayabusa V8 from the radical track cars. These old 911’s weigh around 2,000 lbs 😬

[@liketheterminatortoldya7297]

This is perfect

[@lorddrake2418]

Brilliant episode, i have been waiting for this one for a while and it was brilliant. Thank you so much gentlemen.

[@ridgeviewapartments1873]

Sounds like you guys just described the Shelby gt350R! Hi revving peaky engine flat plane crank, Tremec manual transmission, active exhaust that is basically straight piped, fantastic steering feel, magna ride suspension, chassis very close to as good as the Ct4v black wing. Only thing missing is the M differential, but take the cup twos off of it and put some all seasons on it and you’ll be able to slide as much as you want to! I know you guys did a short review of wine but hoping you do the full review at some point in the future!

[@MrNemo721]

So, a German Viper. Love it!

[@adamlifshack3684]

This is cool! You guys should do your own cars and compare and justify your choices. It’s be interesting to see if you agree with each other

[@hugovallarta]

Absolutely LOVE these videos guys. Thank you so much for premium entertainment. I know it sounds sarcastic but I really mean it.

[@mr_mean3r]

I know I'm late here but I'm only just discovered Throttle house. I had to comment though as my favorite car is the front mid engined, V10, rear wheel drive Lexus LFA. And what I've always considered to be the best looking car ever is the Alfa Brera. You two basically created a combination of my two favorite cars

[@gabaganoosh3919]

This was a lot of fun. Thanks and I hope there's more of these.

[@Thefirepheonix-zr1sv]

I honestly loved this. The video was very entertaining and I would be in line as one of those 10 subscribers to buy this car. Great video gentlemen! I would love to see you guys do more of these!

[@kyleburns9439]

It’s honestly not very far off of looking like a car that would be incredibly compelling. This was awesome and I hope you guys do this again. Design your own off roader next??

[@huskiek1693]

That’s actually a really cool looking car. I thought it’d be a little darker but it’s actually pretty cool

[@wompa70]

This was a fun video. Even if I did almost spit coffee everywhere at "the yolk."

[@MrSfrench1952]

That was fun. Kind of like watching Monty Python build a sports car (shooting brake). Looking forward to the Franken truck and SUV.

[@favss10]

The outcome is actually beautiful! Even though the front end would probably be a little longer to fit that engine as a front mid. But it looks great! To make this car it could probably fit a v6 pretty easily.

[@CrazyWeeMonkey]

I hope I wasn't the only one yelling "POLESTAR 1!!" during the 'which front end' part... also the Rivian yellow is really nice, I think I'd go with that color (or their blue, which is also very nice).

[@goedendag5335]

Oh, Polestar 1. Did not think of that one, very good idea!

[@tomraymond9795]

In fact, you could just make it look like a Polestar 1 and I'd be happy. That thing looks great!

[@fediej69]

Looks like a winner! Build-it-and-they-will-come!

[@tylergreene1573]

The miata gauge cluster has the center tach, and is one of my favorites.

[@phillipthomas118]

Widebody kit & in white would look absolutely stunning 😍. Great job gents truly love your channel.

[@DaveAdams222]

Word of caution! The Sketch Monkey's channel is insanely addictive! I've been subscribed for a while now and, especially as a photographer, it's easy to get wrapped up in his videos and lose 5 or 6 hours in a single sitting.

[@marcjones744]

Great idea for an episode... Please do more of these

[@samoram6920]

I love everything about this; especially the team up with Sketch Monkey to actually create an image of the finished product. Please, please, please do more of these 🙇🏻🙏🏻👏🏻

[@Motolympics]

Crazy build guys. Pretty crazy how few most people will agree with you.

[@centralintelligenceagency9082]

PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES!

[@mactrades4878]

5:48 "The clinky, clunky click"

[@grozaphy]

End product looks wicked but I think it would look better with sharper looking front end

[@Artcore103]

It looks legitimately cool from that angle.

[@Carameldelight77]

Would’ve been awesome to get the guys at Hagerty to do a rendering of your Franken-car

[@anoopmathew82]

Would be hilarious if they just sent back a picture of The Homer

[@charleschaimkohl]

Please do a video like this on luxury cars

[@MLHunt]

Second. Would be almost as entertaining.

[@lorddrake2418]

Yes, please, that would be brilliant, no need for massive expenses in travel and filming, just a couch and your wit is all that is required. Please do it.

and matching color schemed outfits too. Its all one cohesive get together .

I would curious to know how much development time/money was spent on all the items you guys picked out to add them up and find out what "real" MSRP would be lol

[@thedarkknight1971]

This was a really interesting and fun video, had a good laugh too. As for colour, since Audi released... Audi Ara Crystal Blue.... FANTASTIC in the sunlight, sparkles so much, but in dimmer light is just full and rich... Love it!!! 👌 😎🇬🇧

[@R8andGT3Fan]

Oh, no, I don't like that render! The rear is weird, I pictured it a bit more muscular or something... 🤣 I enjoyed this a lot, guys! And oh my God, just to think about that V10 paired to a precise manual gearbox makes me smile... 😍

[@notdaltonxd]

For my dream track car it would be a Widebody Lotus Exige 430 Cup, full aero/ slicks etc. with a 2.6L RPE Hayabusa V8 swap, paired with a dogbox sequential trans. Pure track bliss

[@notoriouslygil1891]

YOU 👏🏼 GUYS 👏🏼 NEED 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 PODCAST 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

[@payasofeo69]

LC500 with a infotainment that's really 2022 level = Perfect car

[@dndfm]

My dream sports car: Polestar 1, manual transmission from the gt350, hellcat/ram trx engine. Interior pretty much the same but with the newest gen Mercedes mbux. Active diff from the e63, and ceramic brakes from taycan turbo s. I think it will be the perfect daily sports car as the removal of the hybrid system will reduce the weight by almost 500kg as the polestar has lots of carbon fiber panels, and more interior/cargo space. edit: steering out of the gt4.

[@adamvolasko225]

That video gave me huge simpsons vibes when homer was designing his idea of a perfect car.

[@nrvous309]

I love this idea. So much fun. I've been going right along with you making my own choices

[@almehgub]

Anything with an Audi Sport / Lamborghini V10 is amazing. Nonetheless, these are the types of conversations I love to have. Well done Throttle House and The Sketch Monkey. I can’t wait to see what your Supercar will be like. I hope it also gets the Audi Sport / Lamborghini V10, or if you’re not doing the 2 year old car rule, the Carrera GT V10. Or, the best sounding engine ever. The 1LR-GUE V10 from the legendary LFA.

[@Isaiahellis430]

[@zoomspike8675]

Excellent design, a funky Brera. Would also look good in the Lexus LC500 Ruby Red.

[@granthemstreet3209]

For me it would just be an ND Miata with an NA 3 rotor or an ITB’d inline 6… no cats, equal length headers, more structural rigidity? And olhins coilovers

[@joelzylstra2971]

Front mid engine but in a small wagon format. Like the old m roadster but big enough to seat 4 adults comfortably. 2 door. Hayabusa V8. Carbon tub chassis like the Alfa 4c This is fun!!! Thanks for the vid!
