What's the coolest car you can buy for $500k?

[@guskipper1194]

I would buy a $490,000 time machine and a $10,000 250 GTO in 1975

[@GetExhausted]

Good choice

[@tmbthe1425]

Smart

[@HNRichard]

you do know 2020 money can't be used in 1975 lol. maybe buy something revolutionary from the future, then sell it in 1975, then you get a ton of 1975 money. Buy a warehouse to keep the fleet of cars, and then when the future comes, ultimate stonks.

[@bryanhampton6135]

HNRichard do you have a time machine?

[@ivzh5025]

Coming up next in the coolest car you can buy for $70M

[@EdBolian]

I loved the diversity of ideas on this one. I actually expected more gravity towards a few of the options but everyone came up with some great ideas. Next week is $15k.

[@tba.4071]

I‘d love to hear from everyone what their dream 3 car garage would be what do you think about a video like that?

[@michaelthuerbach8162]

Aventador svj, I saw a few on dupont registry for around 540,000 I'm sure with some shrewd negotiating we could get it under 500,000.

[@colinzucchi9558]

You need to do 7k, I'm looking for my first car lol

[@abdulhasanishadiliparveez3021]

Hi Ed, Huge fan from Singapore. Unfortunately most of the cool cars are sold for half a million or more in my country. Love your car trek series with Fred and Tyler!!

[@SamtheCanuck]

That’s my kind of budget I’ve been looking for something with good performance and V8 sound in that range so looking forward to see what you guys come up with.

[@Kxji]

Lexus LFA or Mercedes-Benz SLS Black Series.

[@JaredEveryDay]

A man of culture i see.

[@GetExhausted]

Both great vehicles

[@becomeraptureready]

LFA, but thats a tough one

[@ivzh5025]

Or wait out and hope F12 Tdf prices get in that range.

[@loggerhead837]

Mercedes over that LFA all day long

[@brysonkuhn3290]

Next up: What car would you buy for $53.67

[@deedler5687]

Next up: Best jalopy to make off with for two bits and a ham sandwich.

[@Nonyabis-l7w]

5.3 v8 to build and swap into a muscle car

[@kylem2010GT]

*Turns wallet upside down. *Some... money falls out... Mostly receipts. *How about $39.89?

[@ReemerFeddes]

I like the XJ-13 recreation. You can drive it because it is a recreation.

[@BilalMalek]

Actually Mr Bell, Clarkson drove a standard SLS AMG, as the black series wasn’t released in 2010, when the episode you mentioned came out. Immense respect tho.

[@CelebrityMachines]

My bad, must have been the sun in my back yard (I still love the car).

[@ZJTelectronicmusic]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5ipeItqaNuomK8 this is the video of Jeremy clarkson driving a grey Amg sls black series and the electric amg sls in the original uk top gear season 20. So he did drive one! I think he actually owns one!

[@lerebeard]

CelebrityMachines he later on drove a black series on “the greatest road trip ever” so maybe that’s why you got confused.

[@codypanek]

@@lerebeard good episode. I think that one was a CLK 63 AMG Black

[@karlkukk7080]

“A 1000l gas tank which means you have about 100 miles before you need to refuel”

[@detgoat]

dumbest answer besides the trans am girl

[@jbrenofficial]

I had to rewind to make sure I heard him right

[@rcairforceone]

@@detgoat different strokes for different folks!

[@heathj7794]

I love how Ed casually slips in everyone else is wrong lol

[@VINwiki]

Setting the stage properly

[@ElliottAlvis]

Tough call between having an XJ2200 or 300 old Prius’s for me.

[@jstone8513]

Elliott Alvis XJ2200??

[@kingmejia3177]

2:42 he almost said HRSPRS #mopowabaybeh!

[@vijayaseenivasan7842]

king mejia 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. #Donutmedia

[@jdmlover1084]

2:41 Someone’s been watching Donut Media

[@fredericduwe9920]

Herspers

[@Its-Just-Gizmo]

MOW POWAH BABEH

[@blvckskull7954]

yup exactly!

[@maYdaY1337]

I thought the same thing. Didn't expect Craig Lieberman to watch Donut.

[@jaioncebollero1168]

That xj-13 is now my favorite car of all time. So thanks to that guy.

[@user-el5mg4it9t]

VinWiki: What would you buy with 500k? Me: **Happy carrera gt v10 noises** Also me: (stalls it and burns clutch)

[@corvettec8.r694]

LFA

[@burnzy3210]

where is V6 bmw M3 guy? i want him to tell me about his 3.5 rotor mclaren

[@pwrightisright8611]

There are more great options at this price than I was expecting. Seems like a middle ground between the predictable choices and the million dollar stuff.

[@jdevans22]

I agree with Matt. A 911 by Singer would be amazing, or maybe - LFA or SVJ

[@jongeddes09]

$500k is a tough price point to nail. All the cars on my list either slate into the $250k mark or are over $1m.

[@kellingtonlink956]

And the correct answer is... a Spyker C8 “Laviolette” or go over to ‘Brabus’ in Germany and bring home a Brabus 840 CLS63 ‘Shooting Brake’ (Station wagon for USA). Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@brettbilger1390]

So glad to see Ficarra is back. Can't wait to see his pick.

[@GetExhausted]

He always brings excitement to the channel

[@C141B]

1972 Vega fer sure

[@baderalhunaity8923]

Manual 599 HGTE , 458S , 458SA , or , if I could , F12TDF

[@williamhussey1611]

"What color would you want your lfa" lmao I'll take a blacked out one

[@davidalvarez5929]

I agree on the XJ-13

[@kylem2010GT]

A front-engine, rear-wheel-drive GT1 car from the mid 90's - mid 00's. Viper GTS-R, Corvette C6.R, Aston Martin DBR9.

[@mattevans4377]

No Mclaren Mercedes SLR? The god of thunder itself.

[@VINwiki]

A 722 might even work at this money

[@draskocis]

599 GTO in Verde Abetone with a Ecurie Francorchamps Historic Livery stripe across the hood in Giallo Modena and calipers in the same color. Inside, Cioccolato alcantara throughout

[@ThrasherDBS]

I sided with everyone going for the XJ220 until I saw Ficarra's pick. XJ-13 for the win

[@67spider1600]

Andre Lotterer’s Sport Quattro wow!!

[@ollie42]

2:41 .. He's been watching too much James Pumphry 🤣 Almost said Hrspers

[@EdwardViaTomato]

I'm not normally interested in cars above an AMG GT R /Pro, but probably the LFA, just because it continues to hold my interest and appeal, as an experiential thing

[@Tiburon3707]

Xj220 or Clk GTR ..or a Dirty retired WRC Rally car..or a delta s4

[@rachelgreenwood7047]

If you can get a CLK GTR for $500k, I wanna know where!! You're looking close to $3-4mil now!! Xx

[@malcolmmarett8213]

Me on my lunch break at my minimum wage job: Ah yes... I think I’ll take the LFA

[@TransAmMike1]

John Temerian was right on the money with the Diablo SE30

[@VINwiki]

What would you buy for $500k?

[@pwrightisright8611]

Pista

[@clintgliford9941]

LP670

[@voyager7793]

XJ220

[@yuvalmoyal_1824]

Pista

[@brettbilger1390]

XJ220

[@Diecastclassicist]

XJ13 replica is an interesting idea.

[@clintgliford9941]

Last time I was this early, I wasn't this excited about Car Trek 2!

[@GetExhausted]

I can’t wait to see what Car Trek 2 has planned

[@nickhanscome]

Shoutout to the Monaco guy for always picking something interesting.

[@PremSingh-ku5gh]

$500k? 812 superfast is the answer❤

[@Solar_Daddy]

Yes

[@tba.4071]

I love these videos how about asking them what their favorite 2, 4 or 5 car garage would be?

[@artistwithouttalent]

Maybe not the coolest but I've always had a soft spot for them: Alfa Romeo SZ. Surprisingly expensive.

[@madmattahh]

Looks like a XJ220 is an excellent investment. If this many experts think it's that great plus it's rarity the price is bound to only go up.

[@thelionking3321]

Two guys....those two guys got it right when he said he will buy an LFA♥️🔥🔥 hats off to you guys!!👍🏻

[@bigmike8847]

13:33 Dude made me laugh a little too hard. Bravo man

[@dilligaf0220]

Ficarra as usual brings it.

[@lorenstickler4482]

Yooo Ficarra! Gimme that Aquabats dopeness behind you!!! (Please and thank you!)

[@aggopian]

2 Pantera's. One in track trim the other as a daily driver. Use whatever money is left for spares and track fees. Done and Done.

[@K2edg]

Thought Randy Pobst was going to say Gt2 RS for a minute there.

[@ExUSSailor]

For a kid from South Jersey, who was a mechanic, and, built & restored every car I had myself, $500K is a LOT of money. Oh, the things I would do!

[@D3AThCAl2DS]

too many choices !.! dang it randy you took my heart and then turned it around and i agree

[@JoeyGLI]

13:35 @ Andrew Wilson......that was gold. What a response 😂😂😂🙌

[@tommyblackwell3760]

XJ220, no question. Though an XJ13 recreation would be awfully tempting.

[@Anonymous-qk3qn]

Aston Martin DB6 in dark red, manual- its an easy decision

[@carlosdanger4648]

Can’t believe Casey has that mini jet, that’s a real flying 1 seater jet plane (bd-5j)

[@CaseyPutsch]

yep

[@cameronwelch8591]

Once all the budgets are used up, you could do topics like "Best 3 car garage for $$$" or like "Coolest non-car thing for under$$$" I think these would be good ideas to continue this series

[@faizaanahmed1540]

I'd go with a murcielago sv

[@kenny240]

The 2018/2019 GT2 RS is where it’s at for me. I’d love to own one some day.

[@detgoat]

i think i'd have to go with the 765lt... pretty nice stock bang for the buck

[@florianpike2250]

i would go for a gt3 racecar. maybe a mclaren 720s GT3. and i would ask them to take out the engine restrictors to make it an absolute beast.

[@rob33699]

Why does PJ always have to flex on us 😂😂

[@tomasjara124]

Yes sir!! XJ220 is the correct option!

[@YaroCarHustle]

Lexus LFA $500k Bill is genius !!!! Really is !!!

[@thatrealba]

Usually when a car tuber talks about a truck I snicker and make fun of the city boy. But yeah.... that was a freaking cool truck.

[@colekrueger5404]

I would probably get a 68 Dodge Charger and make it go in the nines reliably or get a c8 Corvette and make it have 1000 hp

[@lukakrstic8576]

Nissan skyline r34 used in fast and furious

[@Bularistan4o]

Hands down the Kamaz pick threw me off and won me over!!!

[@tommydavies936]

They are insane!!

[@brianlitz2004]

I would try to find a silver Saleen S7 twin turbo or a 17-18 Ford gt

[@izayoiaifuyu]

I'd have a hard time- but my picks would be: The Yoshida Specials 930 turbo, a beautiful example of the highest level in JDM culture, next two things: A JUN R33 Super Lemon, the current Shuto King of Japan at 216mph, or the SSS S30z. Of course, my least controversial pick will be the Lexus LFA.

[@GearheadDaily]

Cool stuff Ed, thanks again. :)

[@idontknowwhy0]

Craig Lieberman almost said 'Hrsprs'. I wonder if he watches Donut

[@qx4n9e1xp]

Who cares? That channel sucks anyway. They got so boring, and they stand with joggers.

[@ijunglistwilliams8659]

993 Turbo S is my favourite of all time.

[@jonbovi5080]

Amg gtr is probably my biggest dream car

[@Mccammin]

Jaguar XJ220. It’s a classic thrilling super car that you do not see at all. It also takes a true driver to drive one.

[@mythicalducky]

Why would I buy one car with that when I could get all kinds of older cars

[@javiervazquezz]

2:40 you know he’s been watching Donut Media 😂 Hrsprrrsss

[@joea1820]

If I had the money I would buy a 1 out of 14 1996 Vector M12 it shares the same engine as the Diablo and in my opinion looks very nice also came from a game I grew up playing called DT Racer

[@fc3sboy1]

For my 500k would be the 1990 Mazda imsa GTO rx7

[@GeeFreshman]

an OG ford rs200 built to rally spec. An amazing rally car with such a ridiculous road presence that it'll bring a car enthusiast to tears

[@wesleyt7388]

Hey Ed, you should do 3 cars for 300k. That way we can see what people would choose as their daily, their weekend car, and maybe something to haul stuff/off-road.

[@henrycollins2478]

Mclaren 720s. That’s my dream car

[@henrycollins2478]

Then cheat and also buy a ford gt500 Shelby from 1968. Only because my grandfather owned one

[@KyleBrightman]

Ed, next week you need to do unlimited budget. I would love to see what people would chose if they had choice of any car in the world. Would they chose an historic road or race car? A prior car owned by them or their family with sentimental value? Remake a car that no longer exists?

[@JosueExplores]

Finally a price point I can work with

[@tehDmez]

Lexus LFA for me, totally a Honda/Toyota Fanboy and the LFA is just the craziest offering that you can get from them.

[@augustinf]

A pre-25th anniversary countach obviously.

[@railsofthenorthland1181]

1968 Chevy Nova, 1965 Ford Mustang coupe, 1969 Dodge Charger, 1969 Chevy Camaro, 1970 Dodge Challenger, 1977 Pontiacs Trans Am, and on and on and on and on. Point is no cars past the 70’s

[@bearieroblox6451]

I would choose the Audi Sport Quattro as well.

[@ThatGuy2005.]

What about the Saleen S7

[@chrisrasco6861]

Cheapest one I see is $799k

[@porus41]

Finally someone said the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV ....for me thats the only choice for 500k

[@PygmyWMitchell]

Thank you, Gregson you're exactly right. I love the Dino!

[@lovemetal2]

Definitely SJ220 or LFA forsure!! A countach would be on the list too

[@maYdaY1337]

Hard pick between the LFA (sound) and GT2 RS (performance) for me .... both really good suggestions. I also like the rare 993 variants suggested. Probably the sensible pick if you want to make money. They won't go down in value i guess.

[@tatortotgarage583]

I would get my dream cruiser 1938 Cadillac series 90, V-16, 185hp, 2 door convertible. An absolute beautiful car!! And also the 2nd to last year of cadillacs V16s.

[@opieg7333]

At $500,000 I would actually go for building a nice storage facility with a lift and tools because a driveway full of projects and rotating jack stands is a pain in the rear. So for me, its a house for the cars. Option #2 - An enclosed hauler so I can get your $500,000 car from point A to B while making the money for my $500,000 car. Option #3 - 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby 500KR

[@Afterlord2]

Why is Eric McClellan reading the Necronomicon????

[@crumbybooch1851]

I would buy an OshKosh HEMTT (and do an off-road camper conversion) which could transport the Soviet BRDM-2 I’d also buy, along with a Jaguar D-type replica. All under 500k, and beautiful.

[@brett5523]

2012-2013 c63 amg Or new e class amg. If I got the chance to get my hand on a MINT 2012-2013 c63 amg then I’d spend the rest of the money making it absolutely perfect to my specification. Also spending to make sure it doesn’t grenade on its self. But several sets of new tires. 2-3 sets of different rims. Sort it out completely to where it’s like it left the factory. Then enjoy absolutely every single second of driving it/looking at it. In my opinion that car is absolutely beautiful. Perfection on wheels. That’s just me.

[@justsomeguy6550]

An Icon Derelict. A 50’s sedan with sports car handling. With a $500K budget it would be pretty over the top epic...

[@tonyryder5644]

I couldn’t spend 500k on one car so I’d have to diversify. 1-Silverado High Country 2-Nissan GTR 3- Corvette ZR1 4- Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 5- 20 Foot Bayliner . And then I’d be totally satisfied :)

[@mcdc3498]

A Kamaz was an unexpected pick

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Made me realize how well Freddie did by buying the Fast and Furious Mercy and bringing it back to show car status.

[@DevPack]

I would have bought a New Ford GT for 500k, just so i could now sell it for well over a million dollars. Then buy a bunch of cool cars after.

[@BSAElectronics702]

Lots of love for the Jaguar XJ220, that's awesome! Any old school gamers here will know what I'm about to talk about, in the need for speed II for the original PlayStation they had these really fantastic introductions done for all the cars in a showcase, you could go through slideshows, and when you first got to the car's page an announcer with a really good voice talked enthusiastically about the cars and it's stand out points, The XJ220 was featured in this video game along with the legendary McLaren F1 and several other very rare cars like an isdera commendatore 112i, it was so cool to hear him talk about the history in these cars this is where I learned about the XJ220 and thought it was a cool car ever since then! If you have a good audio system it's great to play it through for the base it's got such a good audio track to it in the menus. Actually found a guy here on KZbin who ripped all the showcases and posted them fantastic time capsule
