Pretty sure that ship sailed a while ago

@@HarryMollyNut at least 3 years ago. The majority of Doug's videos are marketing videos for commoner daily drivers where he is paid a lot from the marketing department of manufacturers like Toyota and Honda (he talks about this in a podcast called the iced coffee hour). He didn't say this in particular, but I'm certain his Doug score can be boosted by these massive companies for a bit of a high 6 figure monetary boost.

@@derekderek2570 Honestly, pretty happy with Doug getting his bag.

I dont watch the dougscore part but i enjoy his video Following him before dougscore was a thing

Next would be Christian Von Koenigsegg joking about Doug being the type of guy:

i think doug doesnt have an editor

@@Cessna-dv8uy He does.

@@Cessna-dv8uy now he does but he got him very very late. He Talks about That in Interview with Graham i think. He didnt want to get one because he thought no one will make something so similiar to him and then he laughed that he doesnt know why he even assumed that. Tbh I cannot tell when he got the Editor, nothing really changed.

He always does

@DONT CLICK MY VIDEOS!! MY VIDEO IS FOR COURAGEOUS shut up

LoL that was the first thing I saw. I said 40+min Doug vid what the hell is reviewing..... Ooooh click play

A car named Hennessy, have your drinks before hand...

Long man good

Not the usual 25 minute infotainment review followed by a 3 minute drive to CVS.

😂😂😂

straight up and down

Still looking for a car that can make Doug sound like the "pigeon scream" ;)

Hahahahaha. What a reference!

His abilities seem par

They could get the Average American to lose 30 pounds instead.

@@srinitaaigaura LMFAO

Hennessy: we removed parts from your car to put on another car that I promised someone that paid more money than you, deal with it.

@@srinitaaigaura 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It is kinda funny, though it makes sense to me to add the extra weight for the doors when I think about it. Hennessey's rationale is probably that the doors are something you interact with every time you use the car, and spending a little extra weight to make the experience nicer is more worthwhile than spending extra weight on an engine cover, which most people will use very rarely.

The problem with putting the lattest tech in cars is the tech stay the lattest of current year. Automakers please take note.

The fact that this car won't have full federal homologation due to absence of airbags isn't a wise choice by Hennessey!

The dash and infotainment screen need to be OLED and not IPS displays. The hotspots and general non-uniform brightness look really cheap for two of the only things they put inside the car that you can look at and will look especially bad at night time.

He is literally THE guy brands give their cars to review and give them a well rounded score. And I couldn’t choose anyone else except myself for obvious reasons to do Doug’s job

Not surprised to see that John is familiar with Doug. He's the same guy that back in the day would spew drunken tirades on TCL/VWVortex, Rennlist, Ferrarichat, etc.

Doug slipped into a major void in this spot and now basically owns auto journalism.

@One Issue Voter There's an exception for low volume manufacturers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Volume_Motor_Vehicle_Manufacturers_Act_of_2015

This lamb concurs.

Possibly, but a panel on the passenger floorboard isn't the best place to carry a gun. Most people want it within reach.

That cockpit is not huge, you can reach it quickly.

Not necessarily, could it be a vibrator.

@@kaisersoymilk6912 this is Texas we're talking about. Could be a vibrating gun. New two in one VibroGlock. Protection at its most satisfying.

@@legioner9 if you put it that way, then I imagine cars like Pagani are just Lamborghini chassis with Mercedes Benz engines if you know know I mean

@@emperorsniper2806 I understand you. At least Pagani has fully designed car body and interior. Which is way more effort that was put into that car than in the Hennessey. They don't compare.

Those woos were the review

I think it was supposed to be Texas cowboy whoops.

​@@Mystic-on5xy true❤

Are you guys getting paid to talk this much crap about the car? It’s a shit car!

😂

😂😂😂😂 bruh 😂😂😊

That's what makes him real. He's not pretentious.

I really do like the venom. it just doesn't look very good. the hood looks way to long from the wind shield to the axle and hangs to much over the front axle alot, almost giving it a front engine look, and the styling in general just looks cheap IMO.

@@jwalster9412 i think it's one of the better looking super cars tbh.

I don’t underestimate Hennessy when it comes to anything. It is an impressive car, even if it is unobtainium, except for the Dubai crowd.

Wie soll das Auto eigentlich in Deutschland zugelassen werden ohne Fahrer airbag?

As an American, you are welcome from us yanks for protecting you for the last 70 years. Keep buying German oil and natural gas, shutting down your nuclear power plants and pushing toward vehicle electrification. Remember at the UN when your Delegates laughed at Donald for claiming you were getting in trouble by becoming dependent on Russian oil and natural gas. Hehe. Enjoy your cold winter ahead.

What are you talking? This car is not engineered or designed in the USA. They are build in England

@@sauconyful Hennessy was started and is based in the U.S, but yes, these we're designed and built in the U.K. So it's sort of of British-US car. Not to mention that it's powered by a Corvette motor, which last I checked, aren't British

Noch eine Berchtesgadener! Ich hab nicht gewissen über dieser „supercar-owner”. Was ist sein Name und welche events geht er nach? (Schuldigung, vielleicht ist meine Deutsch relativ schecht weil ich hab nur für ein paar Jahren Deutsch gelernt)

Have you heard of a company called Koenigsegg?

@@JudeMarchisio I have not

@@JudeMarchisio the have electric motors too

Koenigsegg has a V8 but the car has problem when it comes to speed. It kinda lowers it speed for purposes, but you know it has the highest rate of getting accidents. Most of the hyper car has accidents but koenigsegg has the worst. I am not saying I hate it. But look the costs that koenigsegg have and Hennessy Venom is surprisingly great car with money. Also the speed is suprising. Yes I love koenigsegg but to Hennessey it not only best for money but the speed!👍

the V8 with two turbos slapped onto it making that much power doesn't surprise me. what surprises me is the fact that an 1800HP twin turbo V8 that redlines at 8.5k isn't in some heavily modded drag car build, but in a BRAND NEW ROAD CAR that somehow PASSED EMISSIONS.

And yet people still complain about Doug's content being too many 'normal' cars

@Susio Dox Incheon People who are actually passionate about cars. Not just the fastest or most expensive or newest. The Panda is a staple of Italian car culture, and the video provided an interesting overview of an iconic affordable car from a different era.

Why are you talking like the corvette did not exist ?

modern mclaren engines are still based off a 30 year old nissan racing engine, so…

That MB engine in those Paganis were made by AMG specifically for Pagani, because of his past experience with Mercedes racing team. BMW engine in the Mclaren was an F1 derived V12 no other street car ever had. You can't just compare those to Hennessey.

Good catch. To be honest though car companies do thing like that all of the time... even release the same car just with a different logo.... Dodge stealth as a example lol.

@@EdisonUno1 if interested - as far as my knowledge goes this switch was used in every Opel from 1987-8 and changed it around 2004-5. I've definitely seen it on Lotus Elan, probably Elise S2 did too, Lotuses share many interior parts with Opels (like the indicator/wiper stalks) Lamborghini Diablo and funnily Murcielago (it was already owned by Volkswagen and VW and Opel were kind of a competition back in the 80s and 90s, so I can't understand why they didn't use a switch from Golf instead 😅) McLaren F1 I already mentioned and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Some European Chevrolets and Daewoos also had it, of course Vauxhall but they were just rebadged Opels anyways. There are also 2 versions of this switch: With or without a tiny button (for the heating- some models turned the mirror heating with the button, others all together with the rear defroster), and then there's the version without a light and without a tiny button for cars with no mirror heating. And that's my short Mirror controls wiki 🤓
