[HOONIGAN] DT 194: Tanner Foust Ultimate Smokeshow Man-Line in VW Drift Passat

On this episode of Daily Transmission, Tanner Foust stops by with his RWD-converted Passat. He let's Hert get the first burnout of the day then proceeds to destroy the Donut Garage with possibly the smokiest, gnarliest manline to date.
Special thanks to Tanner Foust

[@henris8367]

Tanner Foust literally dedicated his entire life to driving. He honestly deserves more recognition considering just how good he is at all round driving. dope shit

[@jordancarver3357]

Besides Ken, he is my favorite, such a badass

[@DisneyIsDaBest1]

Henri S I

[@7ucano]

said it all

[@Billybob09871]

Plus it's nice to see a championship winning rallycross driver on Hoonigans

[@riidge4177]

Tanner very talented but at the same time underrated compared to the likes of ken block for the sole reason because gymkhana is what he’s most known for

[@mind7933]

About damn time Tanner gets on DT! Yo and that fuxking wall ride!! SHEEEEEESH

[@brien1254]

Edwin Marmol now he needs to get on ABW

[@CITYBORNDESERTBRED]

Effective immediately: EVERY V8 is required to have 8-1 Headers. That is all.

[@Applypressure369]

Jarrett Curley FACTS!

[@fogtown3027]

Jarrett Curley For reals.

[@m.a.d.pandagaming6895]

Hear hear

[@chomin3025]

Imagina a lambo with 12-1, ahhhhhh

[@CITYBORNDESERTBRED]

Eddy Zboy ...you seen that v12 Miata swap in the works? I bet that thing sounds MENTAL

[@kyholm]

Who is here listening to these godly pipes in 2020?

[@McGrathMotorsports]

here

[@chimera1767]

It gave me hope for my 2018 passat

[@priscillaghostcruze7541]

Hey nothing wrong with some recaps n things

[@jaimeozuna5879]

Yes sir here!!!😬💥😁

[@CITYBORNDESERTBRED]

Present 🤚🏾

[@felipeumana8151]

Man when I saw Hert getting into the car I pulled out my fire extinguisher, just in case my computer caught fire.

[@brandonsoto4277]

Felipe Umaña the back of my computer blew out

[@Mr.iceman83]

😂😂 #dontlrthertdrive

[@andreibidapo1866]

Brandon Soto Should have thrown some hood pins on it.

[@HertLife]

Hahahaha best comment of all time.

[@SternLX]

🤣🤣🤣 ROFL

[@JZZ13JZZ]

Watching this while I wait for my wife to go into labor. I feel it's only fitting I name kid Kikawa!

[@acfilms9358]

Taco American 😭😭😭

[@jayceanderson6541]

Or hert

[@subparadventures2876]

Lol that’s gold mate 👍

[@zxlvpa]

It's great that i will immigrate from Russia to LA

[@buddha9563]

Taco American damn, congrats homie. My girl is 2 months away 😊, I'm going to be a new dad

[@graphixkillzzz]

he was literally fractions of an inch from the loading dock. I've seen a lot of the Hoonigan vids, but I never seen anyone get that close to the dock in a burnout without hitting it 😳

[@lucasdamask]

dude, more than a year after I still come to watch this video just for that sound.

[@iMaestrO9]

Every time I hear what I think is a nasty V8 I come back to compare .... this takes the cake ... easy

[@shilohstore6086]

This year at the SEMA show there's a BMW with an 8 to 1 header you should check it out

[@nicholassbardella6045]

Watch the latest video. It’s even better

[@jonhavens6432]

That was nice of Larry Chen to let Tanner borrow his beard for this video

[@jonhavens6432]

Also isn't that header design similar to the Ford GT40?

[@lobmin]

Jon Havens Yeah I think the 60's racer had the "bundle of snakes" header, IIRC it used both sides to make a correct extractor manifold....pretty damn cool

[@MrAeroHD]

One of the best sounding FD cars period.

[@funkalicious2002]

MrAeroHD you didn’t need the FD. That thing sounds insane.

[@insubordinateandchurlish_]

Hey look, its my favorite guy. Love your videos dude and nice drifting a few days ago.

[@timbarito5586]

MrAeroHD you forgot about mm

[@Isaac-zz2uv]

LS engines already sound insane as is but he brought them to a whole new level people need to do more equal length headers

[@joshvanrooyjosh7016]

MrAeroHD nope....mad mike FD car sounds the best....rotary...rotary sounds like car porn😂😂

[@patrickschliesing1294]

22:12 pretty sure the wing was over the edge, that's awesome.

[@Barnacules]

Holy shit! He almost kissed the loading dock.

[@reiniervanzwieten7092]

damn barnacules here.

[@slideways7768]

I didn't know you were into cars. Hella dope

[@Mudbuttmoody]

That proximity to the dock needed a replay doe

[@DarienCharlton]

turntupmoody Exactly. We'll ignore the fact his wing was over the dock platform.

[@skroopynoopers3642]

Thisss

[@ilikeboost4764]

turntupmoody and a screenshot or 3.

[@RDSAlphard]

The most unique sounding LS out there, thanks to the header... great work!

[@donnysan]

RDS Alphard shid I want one

[@KONTRAone]

19:58 "where is EVERYTHING??!?" That just made my day... xD

[@ashketchum8046]

The only Passat that I would like to see overtaking me.

[@vt2704]

What. He surfed the dock with the wing. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh .... Dock wing surf. Ahhbhbhhhfifjrhcu

[@davidlarge3402]

Alpha Ghost was just thinking how has nobody commented about that but you beat me to it! 22:13

[@theresaoakes9387]

+David Large needs to get in on circle jerks. they're missing out on a real contender.

[@Xdckev]

ANd they don't did a replay xD that was fucking awesome

[@MichaelBacon212]

Best DT of 2018 so far!!!!!

[@sad.._gurl8538]

I agree, however, as much as I love Nads, I feel like if he was in my group if friends, I'd definitely have to tell him to shut the hell up now and then, I honestly feel like its kind of rude the way he tries to take over the entire conversation when people are trying to hear what the guest has to say

[@MichaelBacon212]

sana bonesteel oh yeah for sure. He can def be super annoying.

[@scottwashington3587]

Michael Bacon everyone overlooks episode 180 :(

[@justins3742]

You guys should make a bumper sticker for people that bring cars that says #HertTested

[@Joe-gi6sg]

damn broo thats a damn nice idea

[@mugshotmarley]

#Hertbreaker

[@MrAagaardDK]

Hertified

[@Banana8119]

#HertTestedHertApproved.

[@jefffoster6093]

#HertLocker

[@zaoc1]

..."drifting's fun".. and that's why I enjoyed watching Tanner on the US Top Gear!

[@jaymcnamee8988]

Foust looks like Zac had a shave and a 20 pack of smokes. 😮

[@muleloops]

Lol didn't expect him to look as old as he did. Top Gear America was lit. They need to bring it back

[@FPSdaybreaK]

Jose Sandoval there is a new top gear america and its whack

[@pjandthecraxfords1559]

Rip the original. Shame he mullered that producer

[@stefanwinter1377]

I think the cap makes him look older too

[@TheGrahamReaper21]

He's like 45... he's not gonna look like a teenager.

[@muleloops]

TheGrahamReaper21 very true, he's looked 17 for so long though lol

[@liam_g5192]

live in Australia haven't heard of Tanner before.. This guy is amazing!" the man line" got smoked by a bigdog car, master driver, fantastic!!. love your work [HOONIGANS] this is the place!...!! keep it coming, and thankyou!

[@kombatformortals]

Knew Tanner from the Top Gear rally enthusiast days. This guy is the Georges St. Pierre of driving

[@slowspecv69]

That’s a great analogy. So well rounded

[@Leofred2000]

*Brew with Tanner!*

[@user-gm5hg1oh9x]

Leofred yes!! Pick his BRAIN

[@Leofred2000]

Tanner is the OG FD drifter with Hübinette and Millen (and maybe Forsberg, Yoshihara and Gittin), and Id love to hear what was up in the early days 👍

[@chrishavill6458]

IIRC he worked at a BMW winter driving school. his job was basically skid BMWs on snow and ice. i think we can all be jealous of that, but understandable how he got so good.

[@Impalascraper]

Tanner vs Ken - Circle Jerk!

[@matthybels7505]

Yus

[@element101492]

Tanner already killed ken in his own comp

[@tannerbries9528]

hunter maurer true

[@2jzfox...]

Tanner blocked out the sun in California with that burnout. 🍻🇨🇦

[@taylorbynam1929]

Out here watching the OG crew in 2024! 😀

[@DeeZeeGR]

THAT WALL RIDE WAS CRAZY!!😰imagine Dai and Him tandeming the man line!!

[@applesyo]

King Whispa tanner is no joke easily a top 10 driver of all time

[@DeeZeeGR]

Apples yo OVER REACTING not top 10 of all time he is good but not THAT good!!!

[@Matt-vz5wy]

Did you just say tandem man line?

[@DeeZeeGR]

Matt Denson Yeah I really don't know if it would work but yeah it would be fun to see to cars drop one after the other!!😀

[@zerodamonsta942]

Yo this gotta happen

[@l8rn3rds]

I respect the hell out of nads knowledge but it feels like he asks questions just to show off the fact that he knew to ask them.

[@vrstoslav]

KZbin algorithm... thank you for the throwback to one of the LEGENDS. Scotto, raise the trailer and let Tanner slay the yard!

[@javiercuervo4059]

Tanner at first glance is a guy you would maybe like to hate BUT the guy is such a gifted driver you can’t help but love him... If you are a car guy! Been following him for probably 10 years now and the guy never disappoints, between his deep understanding of engineering and his driving he’s as legit as they come... And decorated!

[@rod-knocksmod-chop5207]

20:06 the car lurking in the background was sick.

[@Sulo_240L]

Tanner just wall tapped the dock with out tapping it.... That thing sounds nasty! Love a good high reving v8 with good exhaust!

[@flyingmunk8956]

Lmao that pic at 9:30 though

[@brandonweaver9386]

That was f'n nasty...😖

[@demetribrant5845]

#bruh

[@justaperson2693]

weirdchamp

[@romarioroach6453]

October 2019 and this is still one of my favorite videos to watch... Thing smokes the place so beautifully

[@dylans.7606]

Tanner foust looking like Marty Mcfly lmao

[@metaomicron72]

MCFLY!!?! WHERE ARE MY BURNOUTS?

[@darius2640]

moral of the story - as long as you got epic drivetrain you can attach it to any shitbox of a car and have a sick car

[@fishingwithleaches]

Dariune seriously thats why i wanna just buy an RB26 and just go from there hahahaha

[@TheGoldoU]

Dariune stop siping that hater-rade my guy

[@boubletime]

Dont have on the VW

[@Kimoto504]

This choice was good in the sleeper sort of way... Camry V8 has been done already. No one would expect a V8 Passat! just needs to drop the graphics and make it look plain stock. The next build should be a Prius (2nd or 3rd gen, by God, no 4th/current gen please).

[@_TenaciousD_]

Tanner Foust is a legend!!! Love watching him drive anything in any discipline!

[@conradserrano5948]

I met Tanner Faust in Steamboat Springs when he lived with my friend Priscilla Shultz. I had a 1987 Honda Civic and I tried to race him in his Eclipse. He indulged me and proceeded to destroy me down Mt Werner circle. Cool dude. I am glad for all his success.

[@magicman484]

Tanner Foust stops by for a few donuts and turns off daylight over a couple block radius; then proceeds to make NEXEN sponsored mushroom clouds...never knew molten rubber could travel off a tire so fast

[@shona5512]

That's one of the least V8 sounding V8s I've ever heard... Coincidentally, it is hands down the best, most bat shit crazy V8, I've ever heard.

[@DjJtown]

Yah, the damn thing sounds like a screaming rebel banshee! Just imagine the sound if they went to a flat crank.....OOooooooohhhh!!!!

[@theranter]

I don't think the world is ready for that... but it would be GLORIOUS.

[@wig7396]

Dude what about Ferrari V8

[@Zatiti]

Unknown user That's a flat plane crank V.

[@Zatiti]

Baller shit, and that LS7....Lord!!!

[@MLK_Sold_Black_america_out]

The absolute precision in the perceived chaos is awe inspiring

[@instantwilson]

One of the Baddest burnouts I've seen on youtube by Tanner.... just nice control

[@MX304]

It was at that moment that Hert realized the rotary was a mistake...

[@HertLife]

The rotary is far from a mistake. I can't afford a 25k V8 lol

[@jmtz2335]

@hertlife the only thing this is missing is flames

[@MiniPunxx]

how much WHP his Passat has?

[@-tr0n]

My ear dyno says 875.

[@wespuerta]

Yeah, pretty spot on. It’s about 900hp

[@MrXlchaoslx]

Yo hoonigan you need a new segment called "Hert my car" where hert thrashes guest cars

[@jaypatricksei8428]

Coreytheaussie I agree 1000% that would be the best. Anyone bringing there vehicle or vehicles to the compound be warned! It will break, do not be surprised if it catches fire that is common. That will be their disclaimer at the start of " Hert my Car!"

[@HertLife]

You know I'm down to smash all the things.

[@ReptiAddict]

Lol you no he’s gunna mention that hahaha #scumbag

[@CJ.Bartley]

at 13:38 when Jon does that hand motion describing Nads plus a beer is spot on👌

[@jamescurtiswalker1]

Super nice. That lsx could win Daytona 500 and still place at drift comp. I'm so excited because I've been planning future rear wheel drivetrain on my 03 Malibu in the future and have been thinking of getting an ls engine so this video totally made my day even better. Thanks.

[@Ibanezrocker724]

We need a cricle jerks pro league. All pro drivers.

[@FallingRiceballz]

literally the only reason I stay up past midnight

[@creek2521]

Me to

[@MonsiourMohawk]

amateur

[@636sunny]

i love nads, he shares his fair part of what we all love, cars and anything automotive

[@maxreimann6734]

Keep coming back to this, best run on the channel in my opinion

[@sandiegonative6471]

Okay ...This guy always holding a beer and interrupting has officially gotten under my skin

[@LouSassles]

lmao Hert realized this episode he should've never went back to a rotary. This is also my new favorite DT episode!

[@HertLife]

False. Tanners drivetrain is almost worth my damn car. I would never spend that kind of money on a v8.

[@skywarrior_44_84]

HertLife 1 month later... Hert: So how much for the drivetrain?

[@erock89x89]

So, if you become a pro fd driver do you get to keep the car? Ding ding ding! There's an idea!

[@robertharrison585]

sponsors are a helluva drug

[@nathanluong2981]

But that sound and response though...

[@satricon]

SO impressed by both tanner and the car, utterly amazing!!! hoonigan is delivering amazing content! truly thankful!

[@Chanworx]

So rad seeing sedans become more and more popular in drifting. I thought sliding my LS400 was a big deal but damn! Between Tanner and Fred (Red Y33 from a couple months ago) this is started to get insane!

[@pickled_nick8388]

Starting Monday off right.

[@colewhisnant801]

Nick Cazella Schools cancelled for me so this is the best Monday ever! DT and no school!

[@pulkitpaul8029]

That exhaust looked like someone's intestines

[@maxkaeser]

I met Tanner Foust once, he was racing at my local track in this Pro-Am event sponsored by BMW and Mini where there were teams of two in each car (one was a pro and the other was amateur), anyways he was able to win the race with brakes that had caught on fire and his only way to stop was to rip the e-brake, it was pretty cool even if it wasn't drifting and in just a stock brand new 3-series.

[@samrosoff8902]

I understand why nads gets so much hate, but I like him and wish he would make more appearances. I love his spirit and enthusiasm.

[@FullOfBradells]

At first I was like eh, I'll give it a watch, then I saw that dock donut and knew I was watching all 24 minutes of this bad boy. + Hert.

[@HertLife]

😘

[@Nate-yg1ow]

+Brad Westlake #HomosexualforHert HAHHA

[@robertharrison585]

what dock donut?

[@FullOfBradells]

His proximity to the dock, it was nuts. And Hert since I know you've seen this now, your special over the holidays was sick! Thanks for the extra content.

[@b15mark30]

Do a beer with tanner!

[@christopheradolphe]

OMG Tanner and his car are both beasts. Outstanding skill. Much respect !

[@trevorvenegas9708]

The hype in these videos is insane! Keep up the good work!

[@Ethan-es5pd]

A whole new respect for Tanner.... He got NAAAAAASTY!!!

[@naterh96]

I kinda regret stopping it at 9:30 now

[@_Greasyzoku_]

Tanner has always been at the top of skilled drivers for me. He’s also a super cool dude & signed a top gear poster for me

[@NCFREEMAN]

Wow!!!!!! Delicate sounds of V8 thunder!!! That car sounds freaking awesome!!!!! Thank you Hoonigans and Tanner Foust for that display of epic smoking tires greatness.

[@lighternomatches]

The best part about not sleeping is being able to watch Hoonigans

[@Zack498]

I’ll admit nads is really knowledgable about a lot of things and he has good questions. And I have to respect the fact that he always has a beer in his hand. But goddam he’s annoying sometimes.

[@izaaz_h]

ZEN Moto probably why Gittin threw a shot at him

[@leannn994]

Don’t disrespect nads like that

[@TheGrahamReaper21]

Nads guy is horrible.... hate when he's in videos!

[@jss6060]

TheGrahamReaper21 after a minute of watching him on the video I turned it off. Looked like it was a good video but I can't stand him

[@AlwaysBeSmart674]

H8'ers

[@simonjmeyers]

Dang Foust is a champ.. I used to be obsessed with him when I was younger and then kinda forgot about him when he was doing rally racing stuff. His scion with the V-8 was sweet but the VW sounds so gnarly!

[@HumanJoseph]

Tanner has some stellar skills. I remember when he drifted up Mulholland, such great style.

[@teamjnd]

9:28 at playspeed .25 terrible photograph!

[@jayceanderson6541]

Man I needed this after a long weekend without the hoonigan bros!

[@bando404]

Well Done on the camera Hert. Not the crazy shake. I enjoyed this. Holy shit what a car.

[@enjoisk69]

That was absolutely incredible! Best episode yet

[@imsatanscott]

that is the BEST sounding car I've ever heard on this channel.

[@smudger2693]

Tanner should make more ken block gymkhana style videos. I would love to watch them

[@michaelbutler124]

That was so sick that wall ride tho an the engine sound awesome keep up the good vids that will b hard to top

[@happyhappyjeepjeep725]

I'm fairly certain that is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard!!

[@apoco_lips9957]

Hert - "Do you mind if I sit in it just for the feels?" What he really means - "Do you want to see me try and fit in that? It'll be hilarious, it always is."

[@aarono.6972]

collin l What he really really means - 'I wanna hert this car, like all the other cars '

[@HertLife]

Ding ding dinggggg

[@clouthunters4762]

9:30 for the embarrassing picture 😂😂😂

[@tyler1988]

Had to slow it down to .25x and tap space to pause/unpause to get to it...worth it.

[@jeno0077]

The spoiler hangover on the dock.... Priceless.

[@jsumktmajor]

Just found this little gem...you guys need to invite Tanner and this car to the Burnyard...PRONTO!

[@mattponcini7857]

Haha 9:30.... that one frame flash of the poorly photoshopped photo

[@HiVizSmiley]

Matt Poncini wow I completely missed that

[@kahlbo6611]

Took 5 attempts😂😂😂

[@christophersmokeyday622]

Hilarious 💀💀

[@emofoo]

Matt Poncini ProTip: play at 0.25x to see the picture

[@robertlogan2080]

I have screenshot for Nads.

[@mohamedmagdy4857]

9:30 wasn’t dissapointed by what i saw considering the work that went into it lol

[@reggiexp69]

Shitmuncher McAnus i saw it lol

[@kaynebrawley3667]

By far my favorite video you guys have made.

[@anthonydejesus2093]

2020 quarantine vid of the day. The legend is real! Tanner is the GOAT!!!!

[@tenochfabela4149]

I paused it on the picture :(

[@deathbykram4274]

[@Eric-fs3cc]

[@steventav9063]

Tanner + Hoonigan =❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️

[@John-dg3dy]

that spoiler was the perfect height to slide right over the dock... So Clean...

[@naes150]

wow, the sound of this LS gave me shivers it was soo good!!!

[@Plateface3D]

who else used the slow motion function and kept tapping space bar to pause and play to see that embarrassing picture XD

[@MPCExtant]

FYI, you can use the less than and more than keys to scroll frame-by-frame on KZbin videos.

[@woodsy900]

Also not sure if that was nads I think it was from full Monty

[@tylerheil3592]

i did lol

[@AnrchyXRY]

gyazo.com/c69a25124203c95e760ae33dcfc1cdf8

[@Plateface3D]

[@jakedempster8594]

You guys need to get a pro aussie skid car out to the dock to do a REAL BURNOUT

[@Zackyinked]

Jake Dempster fuckin oath mate

[@cvddl3s]

Straya is more American than America when it comes to burnouts

[@pattycakes4431]

[@DietschaMexa]

[@iiKurrupteD]

As far as quality and enjoyment and the car badassery....this is the best video

[@hotrodgabe1]

No more Nads and this was the best DT yet. Tanner has always been my favorite driver.

[@isaac.4]

Who else played 9:29-9:31 at 0.25 speed to see the picture....

[@jondoe6286]

Dope AF, I'm mad I didn't watch this yesterday, this is the only way I would touch a Volkswagen

[@JoaoGoncalves-hc1ug]

What a legend!!! He is 45 and still rocking like a 20 year dude!
