276 horsepower number is because of Z32 300ZX had exactly that and they looked at it and said "Yeah, no car needs to have more than that" if I remember correctly.
the Z32 300ZX had 300hp in it's top trim actually, the number 276hp at the time was picked to prevent cars from reaching over 180kmh. it was done out of calculating the average weight and class of cars at the time compared to it's top speed. the limit was enforced on the horsepower number instead of the top speed to incentivise manufacturers to work with building lighter cars (and was also secretly put in place in order to work around homologation rules for FIA regulated motorsport events)
@@r0b3rt_959 i'm pretty sure they came stock with the 276hp, they just built the engines to be able to easily be tuned for a lot more. that's why the 2jz can make upwards of 800hp in stock internals if my memory serves me right
This totally would be in some car enthusiastic forum fighting over how it was the best car in such and such era. And it'll cost a condo due to it's rare nature lol.
From my understanding the number was based on the Z32 300zx being it was the first car to adhere to the agreement. If anything they choose to self regulate or at least tell everyone they were so the Japanese government didn't step in and regulate them by just picking at number they weren't gonna go past to advertise to the Japanese public which for them was a round number of 280PS...because most those cars made way more than the 280PS advertised.
276 becomes much less specific when you realize that Japan uses metric horsepower in its measurements. 276hp -> 280ps The naming convention you used for the engine only comes from Nissan (RB26DET.) Honda is similar, but only in the use of two displacement digits (B18A, F20A.) Also, the crash at 6:44 was fucking hilarious.
there is actually an exception to the 276 agreement lol, the 3000gt vr4 had 320, and actually thats one reason why its the car i want the most lol, that and its 4wd
I'm glad to see someone so charismatic take the mantle of automation! nice video

Hello crazy Australian
First Automation channel I've followed since I unsubscribed from your channel years ago. 😊

Ye
Chappie irl, its coming

I'm glad Jeremy Clarkson's 3rd cousin is teaching me how to make an Japanese sports car
front bumper from a Supra, rear bumper from an R34 and a body reminiscent of a Mitsubishi GTO, it's as 90's JDM Sports car as it can be
Bro just made a AWD Mitsubishi FTO
@@PlatinumNathIt should've been awd or rwd in the first place, fwd just does not fit for that car in my opinion 😔
Bro made a gto supra skyline
@@Payday5 Absolutely! The FTO really needs a RWD version!
The front and general body look more like a 1999 3000gt
the engine naming was on point

@@r1zmy That agreement was only on paper because cars like the Supra and the GT-R had like 320-340 HP.
@@r1zmy276 bhp to prevent reaching 180kph? Bruh my Fiat Oanda with 69bhp can do that
@@GewelReal The Fiat Panda also weighs over 1000lbs lighter than most 90’s japanese cars.

Omg the roadtrip adventure race music, unlocked so many core memories for me
8:54 "YEET :D"

3:01 the way you put those headlights together made me feel mocked by the automation community yet again
Why?
@@sanicsanic6890 because of how complex everything needs to be.

8:05 a burnout takedown 🤣
Honestly reminded me of how silly crashes/wrecks/busts can be in NFS Hot Pursuit lol
@@owenb-r5271 lawd fr. Played that game last month for the memories
toyota supra: front fascia
nissan skyline: taillights
Mitsubishi gto: body styling
8:32 That... Was awesome.
If the supra, skyline and 3000gt had a child
It’s truly is an internal combustion vehicular turbocharged device
Looks like the most competent car that Grog actually made.
Only tiny adjustments needed for a sweet ride in beamNG.
Don't forget Finland. Finland wants you. Finland needs you. You are Finland. Finland. Finland. Finland. Finland. Finland. Finland.
This is grog, not mark. :p
Grog can I just say your content is literally the funnyest content I have ever seen 😂😂😂

This is actually the first car that this guy made that doesnt spin,catch fire,explode,fail,do boom boom And doesnt fly randomly
Another banger from grogtv
Hes mixing all of the the jdms. What a legend
I love that the big turbo version makes the camera move like nfs prostreet.
I thought the intro was a supra for a second
soopra lol
nice video grog
4:30 On a Mitsubishi 3000 GT Chassis! Perfect!❤
the gentleman's agreement actually didn't enforce the rules it set so all of the companies just made higher hp cars anyway
I like they all knowingly broke the agreement too. "officially"
This legitimately seems like a fun car in Real life if it ever were. Would deffo be up there
No copyright? If made
That supra Gtr is glorious
Ah yes, the Toyossan Superline MK34
2:56 this moment just killed my eyes
I hate how accurate he is at naming the engines lol, I had a Civic, 01 specifically, and D17-A2, So
thank you grog i feel very informed
3:02 how did you get those holes for the headlights? because to build the GTSR turbo as well yippee now i did it
5:52 oh no hes Gon- *laughs*
I really appreciate the road trip adventure/penny racers race music.
This, was the single completely functional car he made lmao

i think this is the best car grog has ever made
Yup, but should've named it Supar instead of Super. Why? "Cause Supra... which's kind of super, but not. 😉
/DBB
dude had a chance to put 2137 on the license and he missed it. still a nice vid
Best car you did from these series 😅
The only good functioning car you've made 😂😂 anyway your channel is best
The Nightcurve looks like a car you'd win in Tokyo while playing Midnight Club II. Like a weird mix of the Saikou XS and Torque JX
Real talk
next video: how to OUT of jail in my summer car
Not gonna lie, car looks cool
Should do a 50s 'murican boat next, would be positively amusing :p
I love that 'POWEERRRR'
How to make an jdm sports car (according to grog): blob + blob + blob + engine + blob = jdm car
When your 4-stroke has the power curve of a 2-stroke you might have a turbo lag issue lol
British 2000s budget sedan next please
Hmmm what is it? What is it? Oh is that a Supra?! 😂 I love that trend. The mk4 is so recognizable l even a 4 year old could recognize it
Grog predicted the Honda and Nissan merger 9 months before it happens
This is the JDM car of all time
The roadtrip adventure oat? Nice
Ladies and Gentlemen, Grog has made a late 90's Mitsubishi FTO. The only differences would be the AWD and the Skyline-like tail lights.

I would honestly buy this car. No kidding.
1:42 because they took the Nissan 300BX's horsepower and they said to themselves that 276hp was clearly sufficient as a limit
Can you make a car from Sweden that was born for the WRC next?
6:57 imagine house owner see this when see outside 😂
Grog sounds exactly like my substitute teacher
i feel like this car is a good car and not a bad car at all
They chose 276 hp because at the time the most powerful car in japan was the 300zx, with 276 hp

The LS400 made 300HP before the Honda Legend. IDK if the agreement extended to V8s tho.
In japan it’s locked in 280hp tho

It reminds me of a celica with the body shape, however the taillights are the shape of the headlights?
there is actually an exception to the 276 agreement lol, the 3000gt vr4 had 320, and actually thats one reason why its the car i want the most lol, that and its 4wd
