[@TopCarsTV]

Should there be a limit on the car's horsepower?

[@mostly_baseball23]

depending on the type of car like minivans get 250HP and muscle cars get like 550HP

[@RazvanYON]

Max of 900 hp from the Factory, but MAX.

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

No, but people should know *what* they're making, and then put their own limit based on this, such as the FR Ferraris mentioned in the video

[@nidhisingla7880]

Hell noooooooooooooooo

[@mostly_baseball23]

Agreed@@RazvanYON

[@The_Unpunished]

1. Mercedes S63 AMG E Performance 2. Caterham V8 Superlight 3. Toyota TRD Camry (caught off guard by this one, but it makes sense!) Good video, as always, Stype!

[@TopCarsTV]

Camry isn't TRD but still a 300hp V6 model. It goes against everything that a Camry stands for - being a thinking man's car.

[@TopCarsTV]

@@hammaadhussain9974 S63 e-performance for being an angry 700hp luxury boat. Why? Caterham is so light that with 500hp it just slides all over the place, like butter in a hot pan. Grip is what makes you go fast, but with double power/weight compared to Veyron, you'll struggle to keep that Caterham stuck to the road

[@martinordovasgracia3868]

No car will ever be as brutal as the Speed 12. Even TVR said that it was too dangerous, a company that, we have to remember, sold cars with no electronic aids at all.

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

It had more HPs than Kilos, screw Koenigsegg One:1

[@martinordovasgracia3868]

@@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious the Koenigsegg was too refined, the TVR even had a full racing rollcage on the road version

[@fhkkjjk9255]

And even with the small number of electronics they had it made them catch on fire probably more often than 80s italian supercars. Absolute legends, you know the car is good when it catches on fire randomly and you have to keep it hooked to a battery tender at all times.

[@vadimlevitin4382]

I’m certainly glad that I’m not the only one who took issue with that comment. Of course we all have different opinions and tastes, but the 812 is a masterful blend of functional yet graceful design, imho.

The idea of a license for high-powered cars is actually a good idea. It would stop inexperienced rich people from buying such cars and crashing them, while risking their lives and others. I think other countries should implement this.

[@gerarduspoppel2831]

Indeed. Today it is too easy to get a plus 350 hp car. It is just insane to think about it

[@RandomCommenter-qu2oc]

It should be a driving and skills test on a sim with something realistically high powered that you can take right after your main test

The 812 is my favourite 😂❤😅love it

[@epicseadragon1692]

Nice video! I like how TVR "detuned" their Speed12 engine from the official 800HP to 840HP... admitting that the actual power figure was way larger! 😆 Also, the AM Vantage looks way cooler than the Virage it's based on... which adds exactly to your point! It could easily be tuned down to around 450HP and still be the super cool looking car that it is and still boast respectable performances...

[@Bluefire397]

I wish I could've seen the speed 12's test drive, must've been awe inspiring to scare the lad away from putting it into production

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

[@Du_Hast_Mich]

One of those Great days when youtubers like this one upload.

[@creativename1762]

[@imjoeking_]

Another thing with the LS4 cars is that they’re attached to the atrocious 4T65 transmission that could barely handle the 200hp N/A 3800. They go through transmissions just about as much as they do tires

[@RageCannon-tf3ob]

If I were to add a car, it would be the Land Rover Defender 90 with a V8. Having over 500 horsepower in a two door suv with a high center of gravity is sort of an accident waiting to happen. Even Doug DeMuro agrees on that one.

[@RUfromthe40s]

Doug is a example of a person who knows nothing about cars ,just watch is videos and the doug score ,but he does know about cup holders. As an example see him talking about a lamborguini 2+2 the espada ,he talks about the radio cassette player like if it was the brand who installed in the way he´s seeing and don´t have a brain to think that the place for the radio is not how it is in that car. I had a land-rover td110 and drove it off road for thousands of kms due to my work each month i would drive around 3.000 or more kms ,having using it to work for 15 years and now it´s just peersonalised and kept using it´s original BMW engine who is already powerfull enough ,defender is the model today but before it was just land-Rover and range-Rover but BMW made some extra models calling to the original land-rover, Defender, and just remenber that it was considered the most enviroment friendly car of the world ,compared to new electric cars ,mainly because it uses no plastic in it´s building,there are acessories but those extras i don´t have them in my car. They say Rover closed doors but so many new models driving around, Doug should be banned from youtube or call to his videos, comedy because it does made us laugh for years,he talks like all cars were made when he was 16 but no there are cars with 60 years or more on the roads

[@jstdrv]

It's ironic that this popped up just now on my feed. I've just bought a TVR Cerbera v8. Although not the speed 12, it's a 2500lb car with a 400hp race engine... Great video 😄

[@TopCarsTV]

You're correct about 2x Straight Six

[@dyaanahmad5079]

​@@TopCarsTVhey can I be mentioned

[@TopCarsTV]

@@dyaanahmad5079 why?

[@RUfromthe40s]

yes normally is that what happens but a straight six is a more perfect engine ,the V engine doesn´t work with perfect tunning because it´s just not possible by the way both sides work, while a 6 cylinder engine works perfect even cold it doesn´t vibrate at all ,or the same as being not started like old ferrari´s correctelly working, the TVR is a great car ,i own the first version of the cerebra which if well tunned it´s one of my favorite cars, today my cars are stopped for a long time ,sometimes when starting one is in need of being tunned by a mechanic who knows how to work with them, some are only curious and when leaving the car instead of perfectelly tuned is even worst than it was

It's no secret that hellcats have traction issues. Still the most fun car I have ever owned.

[@aiztoh]

This are my thoughts when watching this: this video tells me that 500hp is the limit you can have on the road, either be it an SUV or sudan, if a ferrari with 800hp is too much, then half of that would be considered enough power, so 500hp it is. 300 hp is for sports cars, and 100 to 200hp for economy cars.
