I AM A 9 YEAR OLD BOY AND I AM WRITING THIS COMMENT ON MY FATHER'S ACCOUNT GET THE LOTUS BRO AND GET IT IN THE SAME ORANGE SPEC! TRADE THE BMW YOU ALREADY HAVE A WRECKED 2018 BMW M3 CS rebuild that car bro.
@@RTM459 think it was bout 20 of that special edition but of that actual model there was thousand but if these dine a lotus just cos mcm is doing one then it's not any different yeah it's a different model but the engines are the same and so is the the chassis and drive train it's just a different body and interior so they'd be doing the exact same thing and it would just be boring it would be better if they dine a datsun it's different cos I dint think theres any big channels doing a datsun build atm
@@kjoar Two totally different cars. Have you even looked at an Exige S240 and an Evora GT, they don't even look the same. A 2 seater with roof scoop with a supercharged 1.8L with 240hp (hence s240) vs a 2+2 seater with a supercharged 3.5L with 400+hp. It's like you're saying that you don't wanna watch an STI being modded because you've already watched a BRZ mod already and they're just both Subarus.
I do think an overbuilt Lotus Exige would be a fun project car, though I'm not sure about the availability of parts in your area in terms of body modifications. Since they're using Toyota powerplants, it shouldn't be impossible to find engine mod parts for them, though Lotus does weird things like supercharging their transversely mounted engines, which is uncommon enough that you'll have to wait for shipping to get a hold of those parts. It would definitely be fun to supercharge or even compound charge an Exige and put it up against a tuned Miata MX-5 in a time attack. As tight and well handling as the MX-5 chassis is, I'd still bet on the Exige. Lotus may not be the best, but they make a car that handles like it's reading your mind.
its crazy that TJ clickbaited the toy drive video & didnt show any clips of it at all, but here you guys are lookin like Saints 🙏 gotta respest Throtl, didnt have to clickbait or anything, did it out the kindness of their hearts!!
I clicked on this thinking... "it better be on a 911" LOL (yes the lotus will do nicely too) also you guys are really a class act. buying toys for kids especially this year after what everyone's been through Bravo fellas
The ice cream truck was totally off your norm and everyone loves it. The little off norm videos are great. Plenty of days of the week to put 100% cars vids into. Garages are car beds, so it fits perfectly. Plus it shows even the more normal that anyone can be like you guys and have cool cars
I can tell you from experience that many friends and others in the UK have have used a Lotus as a daily driver. apart from a couple of build quality issues that were fixed they are a fantastic quality drivers car, One friends needed putting back to stock as his had been modded to the detriment of the handling but that was about £200 to fix and he won races at the weekend and drove it to work every day. Do the garage video's
Yes, do a Datsun build! A throtl level built 240z or 280z would really cool. It would be neat to see an older car than those that have been on the channel recently.
Yes Evan, you need a Jdm classic on the channel, perhaps a 240z or that 280z like you mentioned or even ricky’s Dorito 510 as a project. ( I’ve always wanted to see a “cilica Supra”build” the one before the mk4 Supra)
As an M2C guy (love it), I can understand that rush with the Evora GT. A different feeling performance car. I find the M2C as wonderful as it is, missing something in the feel that I used to get from the hydraulic steering system. The hydraulic transmitted the road feel better than the slightly disconnected electronic system. I'll have to take a look myself at Lotus. Dang thing got ya all goin, gonna have to look, just can't get over it using a Toyota power plant as a base. Toyota and Lotus have a long history. Lotus has such a rich history. At one time the Toyota Supra gen 3 was based on a Lotus. When Toyota invested heavily in Lotus under a shared agreement, Lotus used many Toyota mechanics. Lotus assisted with the Supra in turn. This included the W58 manual transmission, driveshafts, rear differential, 14x7 in alloy wheels, and door handles from the A60 Supra. I have a video on my channel detailing that so I guess Lotus has always been a little dream of mine too.
Lotus is set to release what they're saying will be their last new gas-powered model and they're making a version with an AMG engine, so it should be an absolute blast.
Throtl can you guys please do a Toyota Celica build in the future? I would love to see what you guys can do to a 7th gen. But any gen would be awesome!
1. Evora is cool. Keep the m2 tho. 2. Hell yes on the garage reno. Thatd be some different content. Currently in that phase myself 3. Yesssss on the Datsun build!
Evan.... we have very similar taste in cars! That's one reason I really enjoy the channel, videos, and all the options on the website. One of these days I'll have myself a vehicle worthy of being featured somewhere!!
Yes , Anything fabrication ,tricks and tips iam down for garage makeover episodes especially if your ocd about organisation , i need ideas to redo my workshop :)
No way! I live in England, about 20 minutes away from the Lotus factory. See them all the time round here. Go Kart on steroids is the perfect description!
Well, great work and thoughtfulness to the children this year and the lotus is definitely a nice piece of work and orange is okay, but must be a Cali thing! Not that it doesn't matter but so much passion for BMW's i think has more potential and is your signature car. I owned that style Datsun but please do something other than the norm or American (Camero, Firebird, etc) or a wagon VW, please.
Should drive a 6 speed M2 just for comparison sake. If you love the M2 but miss the manual might hit the spot, otherwise you want more racecar go evora.
Datsun would be cool, but everyone is on that band wagon... now the forgotten Z31 would be dope. It gets no love, vg33et swap and it's a little monster 400whp at 15psi* with supporting mods
I’ve always loved lotus. Super awesome cars. I wish they were more popular. You’re getting an awesome car especially if you buy one used and get a killer price
Yes more retro classic JDM builds please... I would love to see it... The Datsun's are getting rare these days... Also mazda 323 bf's so much potential but hardly anywhere to get performance upgrades it's almost non existent 🙁
The Evora GT is sick....but shouldn't you get a car that isn't already finished and just add a few bits onto, then call it done? You know, like all those BMW's people keep mentioning. Maybe pick up a slightly older Exige, like the car it looks like you blacked out for the thumbnail.
I dont know what the speed limit is over there but I know most people blur the speedo out to avoid trouble just in case. just a heads up if you did not realise when editing the video. hope you enjoy your week in the lotus
Evora got my vote! It looks amazing, it's more uncommon/rare. Seems like it's genuinely a blast to drive, and can still be tame when you want it to be. Also, Toyota reliability. Besides, you've got an E36 sitting on its ass and the wife has an M3 also. Sidenote: Yes, Datsun project!
That lotus legitimately has the same turn signal stocks and some other interior bits as my 03' Ford Mondeo ST200. They really are a parts bin special kinda car, but hey I would kill to own one.
i wouldn't show the lotus key to much in videos. they can be cut just by looking at them if someone wanted to. they wouldn't be able to start the engine but they would be able to get in the car.
I AM A 9 YEAR OLD BOY AND I AM WRITING THIS COMMENT ON MY FATHER'S ACCOUNT
GET THE LOTUS BRO AND GET IT IN THE SAME ORANGE SPEC!
TRADE THE BMW YOU ALREADY HAVE A WRECKED 2018 BMW M3 CS

Man I forgot about that m3
The Datsun resurrection project needs to happen,👍
😂😂😂😂 let’s gooo 🧟♂️
MightyCarMods has a Lotus build going on right now
Yeah that Mighty car mods one probably worth more only 5 made or something I can’t remember

@@macfacers it's the exact same engine just more refined
@@macfacers I'm not Subaru I like me German cars hence the reason I got bmws
Yes do a Datsun build!! see if you can finish it before Dustin finishes his😂😂
Lmfaoo he got like a whole 2 years on that project😂
Idk why he takes so long to finish it
@@zainashfaque2120 waiting on the motor to be built
Get it, you already have the m3 cs, so the m4 leaving wouldn’t make that much of a difference
Bruh the supercharger in the lotus sounds so good. With a good tune and exhaust... SHEESH!
Everyone who reads this, I hope u have a nice day. Stay safe
Its Pedro El Mono!
*looks at positive covid result* too late junior
Hell yea Datsun's are sick af
Yes to the garage too.
That’s a sweet Evora GT. get it...
The fck men u spoil it
Yeah what the heck
Spoiler ALERT
I'd take a Lotus over a BMW everday.
Same man

Get the lotus all day!! The carbon trunk lid looks INSANEEEE on the Evora GT too
I clicked on this thinking... "it better be on a 911" LOL
(yes the lotus will do nicely too)
also you guys are really a class act. buying toys for kids especially this year after what everyone's been through Bravo fellas
"Do we do a dat...." YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Datsun project, YES.... 280zx for the love of god NO.
The ice cream truck was totally off your norm and everyone loves it. The little off norm videos are great. Plenty of days of the week to put 100% cars vids into. Garages are car beds, so it fits perfectly. Plus it shows even the more normal that anyone can be like you guys and have cool cars

Yes I’m down for a Dotson project

Do the garage video's
That would never get old!!! I would pump on of the supercharger whine in the cabin.
The M2 is ok but he Lotus is a truly special car. Automatic gearboxes and boring colours ruin cars.
Please do an eclipse build. Or Miata. Or a b5 s4.
YES garage remodel vids, DOUBLE YES on the datsun build 😍
I would of loved if throtl had secretly done a daily build for Vic for all his help seems like a cool guy and a hard worker
🤙
Yes, do a Datsun build! A throtl level built 240z or 280z would really cool. It would be neat to see an older car than those that have been on the channel recently.
Is the car driver focused? And can you check one more time if the car is in neutral?
Yes Evan, you need a Jdm classic on the channel, perhaps a 240z or that 280z like you mentioned or even ricky’s Dorito 510 as a project. ( I’ve always wanted to see a “cilica Supra”build” the one before the mk4 Supra)
At 6:10 I almost crapped myself, thought that car was about to pull out in front of you
You must be a very old women
Do it, so much more refreshing to see and different!

3. Yesssss on the Datsun build!
You should make the Volvo on the parking in to a drift car 😁
Please show all renovations to the garage and everything channels like goonsquad is doing it and it is so cool to watch love everything you are doing.
Would love to see a Garage overhaul. We would also love to see more of the Porsche!
Honestly that is the sickest ice cream van. It looks like the A Team van Mr. t drives but with just alot of color and sparkle
Evan.... we have very similar taste in cars! That's one reason I really enjoy the channel, videos, and all the options on the website. One of these days I'll have myself a vehicle worthy of being featured somewhere!!

Bless the Throtl team! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love the way you give those are in need! Keep it up.
Dope.. You finally put a TV on the truck fire!

Show the garage reno! That would be neat!
Love the Evora, but I am the guy with 9 MR2s, so I have my love for Mid-Engined smaller cars. My dream car is the Elise/Exige.
Should drive a 6 speed M2 just for comparison sake. If you love the M2 but miss the manual might hit the spot, otherwise you want more racecar go evora.
Yes buy thee Evora Evan! It fits you well and that 2GR sound is pure heaven
You should definitely make videos about renovating the garage!
Yes it would be awesome to see you do the build out on your garage
Datsun would be cool, but everyone is on that band wagon... now the forgotten Z31 would be dope. It gets no love, vg33et swap and it's a little monster 400whp at 15psi* with supporting mods
Amazing editing on the Lotus drive... Was that Victor's work?
Man, this Evora is amazing! It looks and sounds amazing. I would love to have a platform like this in 6 speed manual.
yeah your garage reno would be great and do a classic jdm build either 240z, 260z, or a 300z
Yes, definitely show the garage makeover!
great video!!! nice change of pace and more behind the scenes in-between builds
Yes Garage makeover. Yes Datsun. Yes more content! Honestly if ya'll have the editing manpower to add another series to the channel, I say go for it.
U should get the Evora gt and track it. Would be a pretty reliable daily and awesome sounding car. 👍🏻 Can’t wait till 1 million subs
I can't wait to see how they will modify the lotus .great content .
I’m in for a Datsun project for sure, I always liked the 240 best. No rubber bumpers!
You guys should do these kind driver's POV way more often with all of the cars 👌🏻😎
Love the m2 comp. I have a 2020 m2 comp special edition saw blade package. All black. Love your mods and look.
I’ve always loved lotus. Super awesome cars. I wish they were more popular. You’re getting an awesome car especially if you buy one used and get a killer price
For sure do a renovation mini series on the home garage!
Do a volvo 240 build (light blue 244 which was next to datsun)
Yes more retro classic JDM builds please... I would love to see it... The Datsun's are getting rare these days... Also mazda 323 bf's so much potential but hardly anywhere to get performance upgrades it's almost non existent 🙁
The key for the lotus is the exact same as for my work van 😂
The Evora GT is sick....but shouldn't you get a car that isn't already finished and just add a few bits onto, then call it done? You know, like all those BMW's people keep mentioning. Maybe pick up a slightly older Exige, like the car it looks like you blacked out for the thumbnail.
Seeing your garage mods would be sick for sure!!
I dont know what the speed limit is over there but I know most people blur the speedo out to avoid trouble just in case. just a heads up if you did not realise when editing the video. hope you enjoy your week in the lotus
Duuuuuuuude. I saw one of these in person about 2 weeks ago. Absolute 🔥
Evora got my vote! It looks amazing, it's more uncommon/rare. Seems like it's genuinely a blast to drive, and can still be tame when you want it to be. Also, Toyota reliability. Besides, you've got an E36 sitting on its ass and the wife has an M3 also.
Sidenote: Yes, Datsun project!
Toy drive was awesome, had a great time 🤘🏾
Yes please for that Datsun build!
Do a garage build! Good content and perspective for us!
A garage renovation-That would be cool!
garage built is nice! could be a nice series
Like to see how the garage build series’s will go
that m2 will be a future classic probably the last ever proper m car and the looks are second to none considering the new questionable BMW designs.
Are that Focus mk1 indicators? Love the Lotus!
Definitely want to see the garage project!
That lotus legitimately has the same turn signal stocks and some other interior bits as my 03' Ford Mondeo ST200. They really are a parts bin special kinda car, but hey I would kill to own one.
That car sounds insane, one of my favorites. there’s hardly any lotus builds on RUclips and would love to see one!
2zz-ge engine sounds damn good
Ngl the lotus is sick 🔥💯
981 GT4 for comparison? Similar platform, mid engine, RWD, manual, and i think prices are fairly close?
I think you’re right. Gotta try to drive one of those first
Do epoxy with black and throtl orange!!!!!!! I've seen epoxy floors on RUclips and it looks amazing
Do a garage renovation! Would totally watch it
Keep the M2 Comp!!! Please!! Not alot of car youtuber are building M2 comps
Evan, that’s a tough one! I am surprised the Lotus doesn’t have push button start.
Finish Dustin Z that would be a bad ass collaboration! 💪
Always down for garage builds, in fact I enjoy the mix up of content.
Good idea!
I like it so much!❤️👍💪
Dude that’s so awesome you guys out a TV in the ice cream truck.
About to buy a house with a 3 car! Would love to see what you design
Awsome video, love what you guys are doing!
Obsessed garage x throtl collab for your garage
Gets in car
*wiggles shifter*
* proceeds to wiggle it 5 more times*
This is how you manual. Gotta make sure it's in neutral 😂
Def do garage renovation videos 👍👍👍
I would love to see you build that garage really good to your style
Yes for the Garage Project!!
Are you looking a track car or comfort sport. To be honest the exige is a brilliant car for that with 260 odd bhp. The evora is not for that at all
i wouldn't show the lotus key to much in videos. they can be cut just by looking at them if someone wanted to. they wouldn't be able to start the engine but they would be able to get in the car.
