[@Yonderkthx]

Based on the Lotus series 3 Exige platform with a known Toyota 3.5L engine for anyone wondering.

[@JadeRofot]

That's such a dope looking camery!

[@jessebarrett7968]

Love your Pikes Peak series, seeing the extra details on the cars and interviews with the drivers make this top-notch racing journalism. Hope to bump into you again on the mountian.

[@Agraviadore]

Pikes peak seems to be the last frontier for race engineering, full of failures, improvised solutions, trying experimental tech etc.

[@sampilar9445]

not last lol, all fia hillclimb

[@briangschaefer7048]

Brilliant video Larry! A BIG thank you to Tanner for the fantastic insights.

[@obsidian....]

Tanner is such good people. You have to just love this guy 🔥👍

[@neukin]

Like how you go straight into racing and then chat/intro a bit later ha. Pro move

[@brianmessemer2973]

It's like Senna's Lotus 98T and the Batmobile had a baby. Goodness gracious me 🔥🔥🔥

[@AlteredCarbons]

god the body on this thing gives me chills... it looks SOOOO good

[@thetruth1862]

Now this is exciting, wow what a vehicle.

[@ryanmattson1735]

Beautiful build

[@speedhunter7156]

This car....is basically the whos who of cars tanner and Jensen as drivers Lotus supporting this 100% toyota engine and chip foose design man awesome

[@Alan1302GL]

Designed by Alan Derosier (@alan_derosier) Chip Foose supported for the the livery as I couldn't be on site.

[@MindDezign]

JPS absolutely a comeback from the " back in the day era" awesome!

[@mikeypv6]

Half of a V12 (V6) sounds very similar to a V12... sounds amazing 😎👌

[@AAs-vb7pv]

😂A v6 Don't sound nuthing like a v12

[@mikeypv6]

@@AAs-vb7pv this one does to my ears

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

It's within a breath of matching the McLaren F1's pitch to me, strange as that sounds. Just sounds far more nasally and has less of a roar.

[@lorddoobsworth144]

if im not mistaken an inline 6 is much closer to being half of a v12 than a v6 is

[@mikeypv6]

@lorddoosworth8175 it is much closer in conventional terms but it depends on how you look at it... I'm not wrong or right 🤷‍♂️🫡

[@chasebrunner]

That Video Was Beautiful Larry Chen That Car Was Amazing

[@SmallBlogV8]

Amazing how they made the ex-Evora Toyota V6 sound like an Escudo.

[@jonathonpuckett2185]

This thing just came through at my work being shipped. It’s really small in person!

[@joeleonard9965]

With all due respect, it is a Toyota engine and was used in the Evora and currently sold Emira. It has been available for quite some time, even if they strengthened the internals for this.

Kool. Sweet ride Tanner!

[@MisterMonsieur]

3:38 -- With respect to Larry, that's heavier than average. Ken Block's Hoonipigasus is 2,200 lbs. Pikes Peak cars average around 1,900 lbs.

[@stickyplantains]

down shifts are incredible

[@clueless4085]

What a car!

[@Happy_2_Wheels]

The Exige has been using the Supercharged 3.5 V6 Toyota based drive train for more than a decade (2011). For an automotive channel, the conversation in minute 03:00 is a bit sad.

[@DJ_NOOB]

Awesome video. Awesome car. Regarding prints, do you think a print of the Liberty Walk F40 will be offered?

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Such a cool Car! 👌

[@smnkm4ehfer]

Tanner is like perpetually mid 20's 😅

[@PirataEscondido]

That is one angry bee 🐝

[@pain.497]

This car is very beautiful, I love the inspiration of the Ford GT40

[@garlenseong38]

Sick looking car..

[@mikeypv6]

Looks like a Pantera from the rear

[@blkcyborg92]

What other hill climbs are there???

[@kellybanks3717]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@johnmcdonnell81]

Sorry, owning the rights to JPS colours and having Chip Foose do some design work doesn't say anything to me, sounds like marketing type crap.

[@_Ben4810]

You might just be right....Radford appear to have no manufacturing or assembly facility, no directly employed ''on the books'' technical staff or the essential time-served coachbuilding experts, have produced zero road cars for any customers yet, but good old Jensen & Ant keep on talking up a big talk....

[@johnmcdonnell81]

@@_Ben4810 Not surprised about what you said. I think they were on the back foot from the off as many would consider the car as a modified Lotus, not new car and using the name Radford means sod all. People that can afford this Radford are not stupid even with an ex F1 driver association. Dallara all the way for me.

[@allensaunders449]

Not the normal Radford

[@IKKAIWINS]

You think?

[@StephenMcGregor1986]

Cigarette companies are still running advertisements on cars? Disgraceful.

[@SCUZZYFM]

i bet you drink soda

[@danpokojski143]

Sweet car! Bad choice if hype for the "Camaro" that managed to finish LeMans. It wasnt some amazing feat. The car wasnt a factory Camaro nor a NASCAR... I dont give an F! that it finished! Most of the cars in the 24 hours of LeMans were lucky to finish. I am sick of hearing about this B.S.! Ruined the video even mentioning it.

[@jameskellison9342]

Great work man!
