running out of cars to do
And wheelhouse
D-list as well, science garage, & wheel house.
That was the reason i subscribed
The reason for the jesko bare carbon being so expensive is that when it's painted they can use/stitch together any direction or shape of carbon fibre as it can't be seen. Because its on show in the bare carbon option they have to carefully make all the carbon fibre perfectly in line for the whole of the car and it takes alot more time to do so. Still an insane price but there's the reasoning behind it
It is the same concept as painted house trim versus stained wood trim. Much more care is taken to the wood selection, handling, sanding and finishing. Everything will be seen.
I once worked with a builder who did a special concrete floor, for a house, and he said they had to use special pencils for marking framing and also had to keep the concrete covered for the entire build.
But really, at a $3 million purchase price, $460K seems like they are giving it away... I just need a few lottery tickets to hit and I'll be ready to place my order...
@@chriswilson433 Exactly!
@@stevedavies1261 only need a few more shifts at the pub for those extra's
Also, these would need a special coating on it due to UV rays destroying carbon fiber in a couple of hours.
Jeremiah freaking out over the soda while Jobe just casually takes a drink and doesn't react.
Absolute legend.
Bro it was the auuhh dud’s for me - bro said oh dude like 7 times in a minute
Being a good sport by having a taste of the stuff!
Jobe is easily one of my favorite characters on this channel.
Yeeess! That's what I noticed! Jobe has a deviated septum (nose problem) so he can't smell or taste very well ( I have the same problem, it's weird.) I play this same joke on my friends and it's glorious.
Durian does stinks, but it tastes okay (for a non-fan like me), I assume it's the same way for a durian soda.
"So this is basically a version of a wicker picnic basket for your champagne" was my favorite part 🤣 6:39
Bare carbon is usually hyper expensive due to the fact that they'll have to produce the panels in such a way that all the lines on it are perfectly aligned with one another, meaning that they have to make bespoke panels just for you
this
Indeed, and to my knowledge, there's no machine that can automate that process fully, so, in many parts they have to manually weave the fibers by hand, sometimes done for artistic flair as well.
BMW has an automated system. But that's BMW
Also Koenigsegg is hand polishing all the carbon to remove top layer of resin. A little to much buffing, and you have whole part going to bin
@@ElMosqito as an owner how do you maintain it?
If you rank them by the total difference between their guesses and the actual cost it looks like this:
🥇Zach 266.775$
🥈Jeremiah 541.881$
🥉Nolan 560.301$
Bro you got too much time on your hands lol
Well yeah the last one alone Jeremiah and Nolan were like $300k off so it was really close minus the most expensive one
Bro really went the extra mile
I knew as soon as they said the Bentley clock had a tourbillon escapement it would be crazy expensive. The whole piece turns once each minute to cancel out movement and gravity. Those x10 the value of an equivalent watch without it. Source: an episode of Antiques roadshow I watched last week 🙃
I also guarantee that the shinies at each hour mark are real diamonds
As an avid watch collector and owner of several watches with Swiss tourbillon movements, the x10 may even be short. Swiss tourbillon movements (just the movement without the actual watch) can be upwards of $60k. Breitling and Bentley are two HUGE luxury brands, and the two together will command an enormous value. I was worried it would be over $200k!
Most amazingly of all, a wristwatch solves all the problems a tourbillon was designed to fix-- simply by being worn on your wrist.
The tourbillon's whole purpose is to compensate for the constant pull of gravity by turning the escapement over once per minute, balancing out the imbalances. This was for pocketwatches that stay vertical in a wearer's pocket for prolonged amounts of time. A wristwatch is always changing position on your arm, so it's never needed.
50hrs power reserve o_0’
The price is reasonable. A tourbillon watch by any of the Holy Trinity would cost at least that much.
EDIT: That was before I saw that it was a Breitling. No way a Breitling tourbillon can carry that price, even with the diamonds and (what looked like a) MOP dial.
The first one that actually made me say “wtf” out loud was the $4,000 for Apple CarPlay in the Ferrari Roma.
But if you think about it of course those Maranello assholes would do that
nah fr i was shocked to see how much of a scam that is
Yeah I was like why is that even an option. Are you serious.
@@justinherrera1700 You were shocked over some basic feature being massively overpriced? It's Apple, that's literally what their brand is.
@@Astraeus.. you think Apple is dictating that price? Carplay comes standard in the average car today, so 4k as an option is crazy coming from Ferrari
Jeremiah with the power to change the colors on Zach's shirt. Zach couldn't even change the color on his own shirt. What a power move by Jeremiah.
Timestamps, please! It took me for ever to find it. 7:25
Without the context reading this made me feel like I was high
@@samwell_6977 mission accomplished then. Lol
They should advertise their new color changing merch.
He’s the mandalorian (looks like Pedro pascal)
I love Nolan trying to guess the price based on whether he likes it or not.
And he won ! So whos got better taste ? 🤣🤣
True. My thought process was more along the lines of "I've heard granite is one of the most expensive counter top options so..."
To be unfair (cuz I don't know him), he seems like that kind of dood?
@@Tricklarock What kind is that?

Lol or nolan trynna guess the watch price with the dial up sound effect hahahaha
@@shadowvalleyphantom888 lmao true
FjnfjfjfjrurnrI forgot to ask you are you - with the actual place you bro
It's insane that some of these cost more then an entire car - the profit margins have to be insane on those
It actually isn’t that insane. The cheapest Swiss tourbillion watches are like $30k. High-end watchmaking is a gruelling art. You need experts that have decades of experience spending months on a single watch.
@@hughle9913 Even if they used 2 years to make the watch, it would still be way overpriced.
@@dubious6718 don't buy it then
@@dubious6718 it is art and art is always overpriced. If you want I can better explain why the cost is astronomically high.
@@hughle9913 "not insane" and thats the whole problem, people thinking they need such a watch and people accepting fucking ridiculous prices just because companies say so. NO, NO FUCKING WATCH SHOULD COST 30 GRAND. AND NO, NOBODY REALLY NEEDS THAT. If you think you need idiotically expensive shit to be happy, you should go to the psychologist instead of Breitling or Rolex.
Sure would like to see you guys go back to the roots with educational stuffs. How things work, up to speed, money pit style vids
9:47
Zach high fives Nolan for a perfect guess
"For that I'm giving him 2 points"
Zach: *WHAAT!!!* 🤣🤣
Always love the content you put out, but definitely missing Up To Speed, Wheelhouse, and B2B. Would love to see those make a return even if it’s on a less frequent cadence.
This is what I’ve been saying, idk if donut are having money trouble or have new writers but I seriously miss the old shows coming out the same week day like b2b and money pit. I miss them so much :(
@@streetstormer3845 My guess is they’re running out of ideas and topics
@@asianmanfromasia yah there’s only so many cars and history you can talk about until there’s none left
unless they become something like Hoonigan once was I don't think it'll be as enjoyable to watch
Little fun fact about the 488 Pista Carbon Rims, they are made in a town named Geelong in Victoria, Australia, (near Melbourne) and even if you bought the option for the 488 Pista, the wheels got sent to Ferrari in Italy before coming back down to Australia.
so it would be cheaper to buy it directly from the manufacturer if you live in Australia, that is if it even legal to do so, though i don't think Ferraris and the Australian heat would mix very well
@@charlescourtwright2229 you know cars are built for the location their being sold right? I used to build gm suvs amd depending on sale location the car has extras ie: Canada gets block heaters, desert countries get special paint on their springs to stop sand corrosion etc
Rims?
@@iMrp1 wheels without the tires.
That's the most Italian thing I've ever heard hahaha
Man I don't know how it's possible, but your guys' videos and chemistry just keep getting better and better
This series has easily become my favorite simply for Jeremiah's reactions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I liked when the bumper to bumper intro logo was specific to that episode's vehicle.
Surprised how much they underestimated the Breitling Clock, especially custom made for a Bentley, when considering they make a pocket watch for 200k
Yeah, generally they really aren’t that good. I don’t even look that much at luxury cars, but I was consistently close (less than 5k off nearly every time) made me very surprised.
People have stupid amounts of money to waste its fucking embarrassing.
Only people that are super into watches or other time pieces know what that is and why it's so stupidly expensive. Pretty much everyone else would underestimate the watch. And for that price I would expect the clock face to be transparent so people could actually see the overly complicated mechanism behind. A 160k for a Mulliner Tourbillon and the owner can't see the mechanism in action?
It looked like it had some gems on the watch face so expected it to be bonkers expensive
People that aren't into bougie shit have no idea the insane costs of these things. Also having all the engineering and not doing a skeletonized faceplate is criminal
15:20 it has a TOURBILLON so I'm not surprised it's over $100k
Breitling watches are handmade and can be filled with real gold, jewelry and they are expensive as they are for Bentley accessory options.
9:52 I'm wheeeeeeezing
The vin thing seems a bit high until you consider all the places the vin is stamped and placed around a vehicle
That’s not why.. you can get it delivered faster depending if ur lucky I think by getting a lower number AND they resell for more cause it’s “costume”
@@mindyabusinesses649 I would think it costs this high so not everybody and their mother would get a custom VIN and give GM a headache and yes, delays too
It wouldn't be that hard, tell the assembly line computers what VIN you want... One reason could be there are only 5 digits, giving limited options, and they wouldn't want them overpurchased because then the ones desired would be not available.
@@xeridea you would be good at this game
@@basteagui Props to you for giving props to others!
up to speed, bumper2bumper, money pit, and hiLow(new ep soon) are the shows the bois like. please don't let this channel die 🙏

gotta have filler content for them to work on quality shows
@@2_Potato I'd rather have quality over quantity.
This is good content guys. Keep doing more technical stuff too but these guess-on-costs videos feel more interactive since we all guess watching them too.
1:37 we see who's more comfortable and who's not lol
B&O option on the RSQ8 is $4,900 not $19,500
Yeah ... and sounds just as shit as a 300$ bluetooth box.
16:42
They have to align the texture/weave of the carbon to match the next sheet/body panels. If they just lay carbon fiber sheets and make the car without caring about the bottom “looks” it’s faster. Easier to paint than to lay out and organize carbon fiber sheets for THE WHOLE CAR
More of these, please! Just guessing ANY option is hard enough, but some of the luxury ones are real eye-poppers.
The carbon weave needs to flow in the same direction on each panel or at least match in some way.
If it’s painted it won’t matter the orientation.
The granite trim option should be free so they can say don’t take it for granite. 😂
The $5k Corvette custom vin is actually worth if you want your car quicker. Streetspeed717 bought a custom vin a choose the lowest available #. He ended up getting vin# 4 or something like that and ended up being the first major CZcamsr to take delivery of the C8 when it came out.
Also less numbers = less weight. That thing must fly on track.
So it's like a Corvette lottery then. The trim level of the Corvette you get will be based on the VIN you chose.
I love you guys. The friendship on display here make me smile the biggest smile :)
That sound bite at 13:31 was an epic easter egg also that bare carbon fiber is so fast it blurs your face even at standstill..... SHEESH!
Love how Zach's cactus also changed colour. Sick shirt, sick car!
EASTER EGG @ 1:43 these are the hi car parts for their upcoming hi-lo series
Absolutely loving this channel. Those prices are crazy insane.
You guys are awesome. Nolan congrats, as for Jerry... damn! I’m sorry to hear about your loss. You’re still my hero. It’s go time.
18:07 poor jerry just be like awh dude, dude, awh dude
Back in the 90's I worked for an aftermarket car accessory shop. We would do work for the Honda dealership like sunroofs, tint, spoilers, leather interiors, and gold plating (on the EX). The dealership would then list them as factory options and charge at least 4x their cost, sometimes MUCH higher.
We would tint a 4 door Accord for them at 85 dollars and they would charge 300. Gold plating was the best. We charged around 65 dollars, and they would list it as factory at 1,000. My dad was a sales manager there.
The great majority of the time, the salesmen would use the options as leverage, dropping the cost for the option to a little above their cost so the customer would feel like they were getting something for a deal
Did anything cool to CRXs?
it's cuz the customer is financing those charges. the salespeople are taking advantage of that.
7:25 Not only does the car's color change, so does the cactus on Zach's shirt!
Please do more of these. Crazy what add ons cost. And score me that clock!!
whatever content yall do going forward as long as yall have the personalities interacting with each other like this then it's a great time
What a great episode - so chilled watching you guys battle it out. keep em coming.
Love these videos. Hope I can grow up watching you guys for years to come
The bare carbon fiber finish on the Jesko attack and absolut can be the regular finish for the carbon fiber or they will sand it down so precisely that you can feel the weave of the fibers! I’m subscribed to the CZcams channel! Also I’ve watched a factory tour.
Jerry: "Whoever lose drinks the stinky soda!"

It's good but holy shit, don't open it inside the store, I will murder you.
And if you ever try Surströmming, open it UNDER RUNNING WATER, or your family will die/kill you.
The price of the clock is due to:-
- It's Breitling, and they usually make wristwatches.
-It's one-off for Bentley
-All movements with tourbilion (balance wheel in a rotating cage) are expensive. It's used to improve the accuracy of static position movements, i.e. pocket watches, but now it's mostly a way for manifacturers to show off their craftsmanship.
I was going to question the power reserve because probably no Bentley gets driven often enough to keep one wound, but I looked it up and it has an electric motor to rotate it periodically to keep it wound. I have no problem believing the price
@@chesterwsmith That was implemented in almost all electro mechanical clocks in the 50s and 60s. Usuailly they have a very short mainspring, that lasts for 2-5 minutes, and then a solenoid rewinds them.
Going to be sick when your 160k clock melts in the hot summer sun
in that case Bentley should spend 160k extra on each car for it not to be an unreliable hunk of shit
@@davidsiepel6774 Why would they?So you don't need to buy another after 5-10 years?
the reason begind the large price tag of the bare carbon on the Koenigsegg is because they have to make sure that every fiber is visually perfact and the patterns line up, so it wont look bad without the paint.
The camaro wheels are standard option on the 1LE and ZL1. I had to warranty one on my 13 1LE and it was 1400 Canadian in 2014
14:25 twin mainspring barrels? They probably need a lot of power to keep pallet fork from skipping while driving. Interesting choice.
Props to the editors on this one
I don't know what prices are like in the USA, but people often are surprised by the price of OEM rims here in Canada. My stock 19" rims for my Q50RS are around $1800 a rim the last time I checked. Most rims on domestic vehicles are around $1000 each as well, and that would be for stock 16" or 17" rims.
Breitling’s had a long history with Bentley, something that complex is usually very expensive since it’d be hand built per car. Each clock is unique and the heritage of racing that comes with it will make it insanely priced
5:25 or Greg Ostertag for #00
Bare carbon is more expensive because the weave needs to be perfect and aligned across all panels
I was able to order my fully loaded 2022 AUDI RS6 Avant that can go 190 MPH for less money then that watch cost. Holy cow.
The jesko would charge more for no paint because the carbon weave will be visible so they will have to ramp up the inspection of the panels
I hate how invasive gambling has become.
Yea, especially when they grab your arms and put them behind your back so you cant just skip the ~45 second ad.
They don't have to put the slider that lets you know how long the ad is, but they do it anyway. Gotta get that sponsor money to fund videos.
@@wheredaboof6492 They dont have to take gambling sponsorships though... I think the comment is about how common it has become. Not that he minds sponsorships or even a gambling company sponsoring. Its the fact that in a short time it has become so accepted and common place when it can be a really bad thing.
@@mikej5959 well, this is the internet.

I crashed my IS300 years ago, and part of the insurance claim was replacing two of the OEM five spoke wheels. I got something like $1k-1.5k for just two. Insane.

Thats cool that the finger snap trick at 7:25 also works for the logo on Jobe's shirt
7:59 the B&O 3D sound system for an RS Q8 is listed at $4,900 on Audi's website - wonder where did the $19,500 price tag mentioned in the video come from?

Thank you for the early uploads! Got something to watch before college ❤
9:10 One carbon fiber wheel for the GT350R is currently at 5.5K for sale. So, if you buy all 4 wheels, you’ll pay the same amount as the Porsche centerlock magnesium wheels, maybe even more so.
17:43 classic
For a second I was curious to how they were getting the car to change colors, then I realized that the car was green from the start making it suuuuper easy to change the colors in post.
and the right guy's tshirt logo colour
As far as I know, visible carbon fiber body is that much more expensive than not painting it, because they have to line it up perfecfly symmetrical for it to look good, whereas the painted carbon fiber body isn't arranged in a certain way, because you won't see the pattern under the paint.
It’s sanded down to the fibres.
the c8 one makes sense because of future number 1 of whatever first rear engine corvette will end up going way more than others
go to an automobile manufacturer plant and take a look it's organized chaos. some of these may seem outlandish, but imagine the interruption to the production line when they have to build this, someone has to schedule this, manage the inventory, perform quality inspection, do safety analysis, someone has to order this, some engineers have to figure out how to put this in the car seamlessly.
Zach looked like he was ready for another sip of that soda
I really love this videos of them guessing prices. especially those 3. Great videos guys and please make more it's so much fun :D
These three had me laughing the whole time! Thanks for making my morning, Donut!
Working for a dealer in sales, I knew immediately for the Camaro wheels! A singular new Mazda black wheel 19in is 900 a piece...
Either they are about to give away the rs3 or they are sponsored or they are really proud of it cause its been in like 4 things and they've been only talking about how good it is and on the car guesser shorts they talk about how it feels and sounds like a bigger better car
The best part of that video hands down was Jeremiah's reaction when he took the first sip!
RS3 may be a 58k MSRP
But every dealer have been tacking on a $20k mark up, I've been in the market for one. Not fun
So I had to look it up and the and the reason the jesco is so expensive is because when they mold the carbon fiber it has a lacquer coating so afterwards they have to strip the lacquer coating off by hand so you're paying for the labor not the lack of paint
Oh my god Nolan saying "they're not cool!" On the ZL1 wheels for the Camaro is my favorite moment ever cause I know there's a ton of Camaro owners who think those are the best Wheels ever made, no they're ugly, they're heavy, and if you don't count Z28 reps they're the most common Camaro wheels out there lol
camaro owners have terrible taste so that checks out.
@@CRneu as a Camaro owner I can confirm. We're 3rd place behind Toyota Celica and matrix owners on "Terrible taste" podium
Why would I get a non-removable Breitling in my Bentley for 160k, if I could get LOADS of Breitling wristwatches for that amount of money? That's just ridiculous 😂
Breitling used to your "entry" level luxury watch at $5-14k...they now can be $35-60K... And the most expensive is a grand-pa pocket watch called The Grande Complication...
Drum roll please - - $280,700 ....So $160k, well, there you go...
It really hits home when a no paint option costs more than a new build 4 bedroom detached house in a reasonable area in the UK.
I'm glad you guys made this video, I wasn't sure if Jeremiah and Jobe were the same person or not
just got my hi low subclass poster in mail and i cant wait for a whole new hi low series ☝🏽
THESE GUYS ARE REALLY LIVING THEIR BEST LIFE. RESPECT 💯
Why
Love seeing Joe in videos after hearing him in almost every podcast episode. Make sure to check out Past Gas Podcast, it's about cars it's not about farts!
This just shows you that rich people have so much money, they can't spend it fast enough that prices have to be inflated to astronomical amounts to make sense of the spending. Great video, Donut!
10:35 I wonder if this is why star trek consoles are full of exploding rocks.
One of the funniest ever. The fall of the king sequence was hilarious. Way to reward the long term viewers.
I have an idea why the bare carbon fiber is more expensive. It has to do with the warranty, they are willing to do some repairs to the carbon fiber so you pay extra for that since the painted option has a protective layer on the carbon.
High low drag cars?
Great idea
I think answers should be written down on a whiteboard and each reveled after the actual price is announced.
Bare CF is not going to be the same as what is under a paint job. It takes a ton of effort to get the weave and seams to line up and look good. When the part is getting paint they can slap the fabric on any way they want because you'll never see it. And "bare" CF still needs some sort of finish unless you also want to feel the weave. The resin it's formed with isn't laid on thick enough to provide a smooth surface. So there is still basically all the same sanding and finishing you'd expect with a regular paint job.
Hi man i noticed the other day that you are doing a “colab” with Microsoft on FH5 and I can’t wait for it to be launched
Got the VIN cost spot on.
You have to factor in that it's more of a bureaucratic cost than just stamping different digits on the VIN plates. Probably involves at least a few more people that need to do things more manually and hands on.
I imagine raising price also limits how many will be done. That makes it special and its a win for GM in the easiest way possible
the Tourbillion and self winding feature of that clock is why it's so expensive; plus the fact it's a Breitling; I assume it's in a housing that rotates the clock to wind it, cause i'm not sure how it's gonna wind itself otherwise, but the tourbillion alone in most high end watches will start at probably $30K, depending on the brand; add the jewels, housing and other features along with the complexity of the movement, as well as having to make their watch to a size specific to vehicle application, and you got yourself an overpriced, but very accurate, clock
I'm glad someone commented about the tourbillion :D
Sorry, Breitling sells a pocket watch, the Grande Complication for a mere $280,700 ... and that's without any customization... It's all about how rare, how ostentatious you want your things to be, not their functionality..
The Bowling Green Firefighters Association (in Kentucky) got a Vette donated to them to raffle off with a custom VIN if 911. Pretty cool stuff.
If that is real granite, machining those shapes would be insanely difficult. It looks goofy, but impressive from a material creation standpoint and I can see it costing 60k.
5:44 That posh-ass Oxford alumni British accent is immediately made me think 50k for that elitist picnic basket.
