  • Welcome to the newest sofa episode of Extra Throttle House! Today, Thomas and James "Design" their perfect sports car using parts from their favourite modern sports cars. The term "Design" is used loosely, but Sketch Monkey comes in to save the day with a beautiful render of the final product!
    Thanks to Sketch Monkey for helping bring this theoretical car to life! Check out his channel here!

    The philosophy behind this really reminds me of when we made the GTI W12 650 concept. They pulled parts from all of their brands and built a 2-door hatchback with a mid-mounted twin turbo W12. That's my dream Frankenstein car. Though I may have to go with the V10 too.

Hi revving peaky engine flat plane crank, Tremec manual transmission, active exhaust that is basically straight piped, fantastic steering feel, magna ride suspension, chassis very close to as good as the Ct4v black wing. Only thing missing is the M differential, but take the cup twos off of it and put some all seasons on it and you’ll be able to slide as much as you want to! I know you guys did a short review of wine but hoping you do the full review at some point in the future!

    My dream sports car: Polestar 1, manual transmission from the gt350, hellcat/ram trx engine. Interior pretty much the same but with the newest gen Mercedes mbux. Active diff from the e63, and ceramic brakes from taycan turbo s. I think it will be the perfect daily sports car as the removal of the hybrid system will reduce the weight by almost 500kg as the polestar has lots of carbon fiber panels, and more interior/cargo space. edit: steering out of the gt4.

    You guys should check out Automation game. It will give you exactly what you needed to be able to design your dream car from the ground up. From mechanical engineering, to its design

    For me it would just be an ND Miata with an NA 3 rotor or an ITB’d inline 6… no cats, equal length headers, more structural rigidity? And olhins coilovers

    So they basically created a 2022 Alfa Romeo Brera. Great video Guys!

    Anything with an Audi Sport / Lamborghini V10 is amazing. Nonetheless, these are the types of conversations I love to have. Well done Throttle House and The Sketch Monkey. I can’t wait to see what your Supercar will be like. I hope it also gets the Audi Sport / Lamborghini V10, or if you’re not doing the 2 year old car rule, the Carrera GT V10. Or, the best sounding engine ever. The 1LR-GUE V10 from the legendary LFA.

    Excellent design, a funky Brera. Would also look good in the Lexus LC500 Ruby Red.
