It was a pleasure to be part of this video! I hope you guys enjoyed the Bugatti! 👍🏼
You're awesome for letting James drive it.
You're the G.O.A.T 🐐 🙌 😎
Words cannot do justice on how beautiful that car is. I'm sure James will never forget it, it probably meant a lot to him. Keep being awesome!
Should've bought a peel p50💯🤣
It was almost as cool as the Peel, albeit in a much more handsome paint job.
Love how supportive Jay Leno is of the younger crowd. Dude is a legend!
Always have to support the younger car guys, they are what is going to keep the sport alive
Only when he isnt trying to take over the show...
jay leno is legendary mediocre. he just buys shit, cool.
Conan would disagree…

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Donut is at hiring? Every host they’ve added is such a good fit it feels like they’ve always been there. Jobe, Justin and Jer each bring a perspective but all feel distinctly donut. Adam is the perfect “grown up” in the room and even Jimmy adds that kid brother you want to hang out with vibe. Donut keeps evolving but still stays true to itself.
If your first name starts with a J, you're 1 step closer to becoming a Donut host!
Lol, that's so true!

Honestly happy people know donut is a media company now lol it felt so scummy for them to not make that obvious and upfront
@@DamianJablonski-li2rw Isn’t every monetized CZcams channel a media company by definition?

Wasn't that a gt 40- AVG. KEN MILES
Today on donut, James conquers his one true fear, Justin squishes Jay, Jeremiah nerds out on a Toyota, and Nolan perpetuates the Subaru stereotype
Que intro
@@tec5x5lol
It’s not a stereotype type when it’s extremely common and happens all the time. It’s just a fact suberu engines are grenades and are unreliable
@caylebmladenovic3348 lots of people also don't have problems tho myself included.
@@justinandrusevich6977 because you haven’t seriously started modifying it and driving it hard. Turn your boost up force more air and fuel in your motor and I can guarantee your oil pickup won’t be able too keep up and it will grenade.

Man I love Jay Lenos car collection and I love the fact his shares his cars and lets other gear heads enjoy them too 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Gotta seriously love that car orchestra that James conducted with Borla’s exhausts.
Amazing
Yeah that was hard af
It was beautiful
Wasnt expecting that
Literally music to my ears 👂
James trying to talk about the V8 while Adam sends it 😂 love it
definitely the best sounding car in this video

I just watched your video on different type of engine and this was the next one in suggesting... Truly loved it
This is not only for entertaining but also educational for me thankyou Donut
Aside from Donut as a whole, I think it's important to recognize how far James has come from his health scare some time ago. Without him taking his health seriously idk if Donut would still be the same. James, if you're reading this, you look great man and I hope you continue to keep yourself in good health. I look forward to seeing more of you in this way!
What was going on? Last bad situation he was in that I knew about was when he had to do that operation omaze helped with I think, he looks very different now
The shot at 14:48 even made me think James looks like he’s in great shape!
Jis @@heatseeker3725
“From donut as a hole” lol
he definitely lost hella weight. this is my first time back in some time and damn he’s changed. pass me the remedy my brother 🔥
I’m honestly so glad you went from joking about jay and james being “best friends” to him being a reoccurring guest. Glad to see someone go from a group channel to a whole corporation
gotta be the best channel on CZcams and all the guys are awesome 😎 love y'all
my father had some time ago a MB E290 1998 with an In line 5 Turbodiesel engine and it was smooth and sounded like heaven.

videos from this channel are naturally enternaining, but i also appreciate the effort they put into the structure and planning to make these videos somewhat educational as well
Me = not super into cars, but I found the descriptions of the engines and shapes in relation to the sound and efficiency and drive quality super interesting. That was totally interesting.

Manny's such an awesome guy. He's literally telling James to floor it without saying it. lol
He'd be cool if he let the Donut guys drive the Veyron like they did with every other car. But no, he's such a narcissist that he has to be in every video that any of his cars are in. Depending on the video that might be ok, but that definitely wasn't one of those kinds of videos. This was a celebration of engineering and the emotions that the feel and sound of these different engines give us. Passionately communicated to us by the hosts we know and love... and then there is suddenly this rich douche that had to make sure everyone knew who he was and that it was his car and how casual he is, oh look at me just sitting here in the passenger seat, letting another youtuber drive my 2 million dollar supercar, pff no big deal LOL, but just gotta make sure I'm the video though.
I get that it's an expensive car, but it's not like they are some unknown youtube channel just out for a joyride or planning to go triple the speed limit. And even if he was concerned about any such possibilities he could've just been quietly sitting there out of shot. That wouldn't be unreasonable to be fair.
I've seen him in dozens of videos over the years and that is always the impression I get from him.
yap. I bet that, if You'd type rich douche into google image search, it would show you that awkward shot of him at the end of the video: just so outta place. And he even put on his little Bugatti hat!@@Renee_R343

I have had two different cars with three-cylinder engines. One was the Metro mentioned by our hosts, with it's 55 horsepower, the other one is a Mitsubishi Mirage that has 78 horsepower. Both cars are hilariously fun to drive due to their size, but they are both very frustrating to drive in traffic - but not for the reason you'd expect. No, the problem with driving a 78-horsepower car in traffic is the fact that you're always waiting on a 300-400 horsepower car to get over themselves, put their phone down, and consider the possibility of maybe approaching the speed limit.
You cruised us through all those cylinders, making it a blast to learn about. It's wild to see and hear the differences each engine brings to the table.
2:20 This was the coolest comercial i ever watched in my life
You guys literally have the best job on the planet!!! I wish I knew a fraction of what you all know
This legendary collab with Jay is something we never thought would happen. But now it did. Let's keep going. Next up mighty car mods?
5 cylinders just have such a unique sound that still has that tuner feel to it. Gotta be my favorite and I hope to own an rs3 someday.
Was hoping it would be like a Volvo 5 cylinder they showed lol
same@@KittRembo
Like the original T5 not the four cylinder T5 @@KittRembo
@@KittRembo Yes! I love my T5 and I was hoping for a shout-out, but I guess Volvo's image doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the video... I suppose they could've used a Focus ST with the Volvo straight-five. That's a pretty sweet Golf though.
If available near you, go for a Fiat Coupe Turbo...
16:28 the yelling over the V8 has me dead 💀 😂😂
nah fr 😭😭
This channel is so fun..no idea how you source this stuff, but thanks for being a great channel..mo powa baby
12:30 JLR is now using a 3.0L inline 6 for their primary engine these days. It's an option in almost every model. From the F-Pace, to the Defender to the Range Rover. Been out for a few years now and apparently is a pretty great engine so far.
Justin is one of my favorite additions to donut
100% agreed. The man is charismatic!
Agreed. And he’s hot af so ++
What's funny is when he first joined the crew there were a lot of negative comments saying he doesn't have enough personality. I remember thinking everybody chill he needs time to get fully comfortable in his role we will see him open up over time. And guess what? He did. And now he's awesome. He just needed some time to settle in and get comfortable.
agree, you can tell hes genuinely an excellent person
Agreed. He's pretty much my favorite in a gang of likable guys.
This is the perfect modern Donut video. Every main crew member got their time to shine, and it shows. fantastic writing, fantastic cars, fantastic people! Donut is GOATED
20:51 that's the first time I've seen him speachless but he totally brings over the feeling of thzrowback to when you were 12 years old having a lamborghini on your wall.
Wow I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel well done! Liked and subscribed
That Christmas Borla piece was magnificent
Absolutely
Jay is a true gift to the automotive community, what a gem
1:20 The 4 strokes of an internal combustion engine, as my dad told me, are:
Suck (intake), Squeeze (compression), Bang (ignition), Blow (exhaust).
It's something I'll never forget, I've used it many times to diagnose problems with my ride.
I beat James to the fraze. I didn't know he was gonna say that, but I guess I should have it fits his personality.
The peel p50 rocks, literally. It also tips.
If I might suggest, a far better choice for a 2 cylinder would have been a Citroen 2CV. It is a beautifully balanced 602cc flat twin boxer. I think you would have been impressed.
I was surprised as well, since that's what most people think of.
true, but they could've also picket the fiat 126 for an inline 2 (since the next ones up are inline 3, 4, 5 and 6). or a trabant if they wanted a 2 stroke inline 2 engine in the mix as well.
Or the newer fiat 500 twinair
Pretty boring car but pretty common overhere
Also a good pick for 2 cylinder would be a volkswagen XL1 800cc 2 cyl Diesel engine
Donut's been tearing it up with these videos lately
I would love to see this type of video but with semis. I know semi engines can get extremely large and have a lot of cylinders, but I don't know where you would find one of each engine type. Great work :D
My first vehicle was a 2005 Chevy Colorado 3.5L 5cyl. When I traded it in it had 235,000 and going strong. Never had to do anything to the motor or transmission other then changing oil! Was a great truck that felt bullet proof and actually surprised me on the torque side of things. I pulled trailers with ease that a truck that size had no business probably towing haha
Got me a 2006 stage 2 Roush Mustang 4.6 V8 in its place but I still miss that little truck to this day!
That exhaust symphony was absolutely glorious
My five cylinder Volvo is one of my favorite cars ever and absolutely the best car I own. It only has a Magnaflow muffler as far as exhaust work goes but 2.5 liters and 16lbs of boost makes an awesome noise. Bonus points for 300hp too
hell yeah, i had an s70 with a turbo 2.5 liter. It had almost 400,000 when i got into a bad accident and totaled it. i miss that car so much
@@tjrobison7617 Oh the S70 was great. I have a C70 with Shelby GT500 injectors and Stoptech track spec brakes and I adore that car so much. 50600 miles on an 09 and it never disappoints even for a big convertible I can't wait to do all the Focus RS mods to it
My dad had a Lancia Kappa 2L 5 cylinder. Loved that car and all the garden hose and what not that held it together at the end of its life
The exhaust note of my V70R is the only thing I miss from that car. The rear facing back seat was pretty cool too.
I have an p3 v8 s80 but im looking at getting a p2 s60 2.5t for when my wrx does ej things
0:07 "The most cylinders put in a production car"
Meanwhile Mercdes casually putting 18 cylinders in one of their sedans:
they never actually made a w18 s class, it never left the blueprint phase
THIS is actual high quality entertainment.
Can't wait to see Jay Leno and Tim Allen on real mechanic stuff celebrity edition!
Tim Allen is a must… more power yall 😂
this is basically car improvement 😂
They probably wont, tim allen publicly said he wants to say the N word whenever he wants
LFA has been my dream car since it released. and the fact that you guys got one and absolutely let it shine made my heart happy. yall have been KILLING it with the content lately.
really nice representation of the different cilinders
LFA gave me literal goosebumps, such an amazing machine
So rad how much Donut has grown over the years. I’m proud to say I’ve been a fan since the channel was started. You guys are killing it.
Me too! I remember subscribing when they had 500k subscribers
Damn James you just drove a bugatti & Diablo & 750 hp RS3 in the same video.
Donut has come so far from when I first started watching up to speed, clowning on how uncomfortable Nolan was in front of the camera. Kudos to you guys. 🤘
They drove a Lexus LFA as well, which is way crazier than a diablo, a Bugatti Veyron, and a RS3

Hi tankenstein I love your WT videos :)
@@squishy._.8730 Thank you! That means a ton
I gotta say, I miss the old episodic videos on Donut, but I can't deny the quality and fresh style of modern Donut
Man Jay Leno used to annoy me when I was younger and he had that Tonight Show. But when he’s talking about cars I like him! He actually seems pretty cool
You guys are starting to turn into a revamped version of top gear, and I love it!
You guys should do a "No cylinder engine" list and compare rotaries, hydrogen, electric and jet engines. I know their not the same but I think it would still be a cool video concept to see the rest of the automotive worlds power houses
I wish water powered cars still existed. That would be my dream car. Aqua powered.
@@eternalbeing3339
Still? They never did, unfortunately. They're all false claims.
Hydrogen combustion exists, and so do hydrogen fuell cells, but no car or engine, or fuel cell, can take pure water and turn it into useable energy all on its own. As the only usable energy in water is in the hydrogen, and to get the hydrogen out of its stable chemical bond, you need to use a lot of energy/electricity. More energy than there is in the hydrogen you get out of it due to efficiency losses. Even in a perfect world, you'd get just as much energy out as you put in. So there would be zero usable energy.
All of those claims of water fueled cars are all perpetual motion machines in essence.
@@xenokyomi Actually, steam cars existed, or rather steam trucks, if you took the time to look em up theres actually still some of these in service (probably around the UK)
@@user-df7rn4bk2u
That is a different principle, and also something that never quite worked out. However it still isn't a water powered or fueled car. A steam engine, yes has water in it, but the water is just a medium to transfer energy through. The power is being generated by heat, usually by burning coal. Coal is the fuel, and is providing the energy. The water isn't. A more apt name is a heat engine. The Stirling engine has air in it, but you don't say it's air powered. It's powered by heat, and is simply exploiting changes in pressure through a working fluid, the exact same principle as a steam engine in a basic sense.
Great vid. I'd love to see another Hi-Low series!
Used to have a 2.5l 5 cilidner V50 and a 5 cilinder D5 XC70. loved those motors till death
4:30 Except of course the modern day Fiat 500 (and 500L and Panda) with the Twinair engine, you could find that engine even in the Panda 4x4 Cross.
The fact that he talks about the 4/4 time vs 5/4 time was completely unexpected
it kinda shocked me how ingenious it is as a descriptive term.
I love the fact that Jay Leno has become a regular character on this channel.
i can’t tell u how perfect james mk3 is. absolute mint
Would rather have seen some old and crazy v16 Duesenberg, to be honest...but I get they are beyond old and rare and more of an acquired classic taste. Great video
Both Subarus breaking is just such a Subie thing to do 😂
In the early 90's, I had an Audi 5000S with an inline 5 engine. In fact, Audi had 10 different engine options during the model run, and all but one was a 5 cylinder (although only 5 cylinder engines were available in North America). It was a pretty smooth running engine.
I love that your golfs color matches with the wheels
That borla ad was amazing
It would be awesome if you could go through the different rotary engines next! Ideally with an actual Eunos Cosmo and not just a 20B-swapped RX-7... I'd suggest hitting up Rob Dahm and Mad Mike for that project
Episodes like these must make the Donut boys think to themselves: "what a job I have... what an awesome job"
That 5cyl sounds beautiful!!
W12 for Bentley Continental would have been nice to see. Love the vid and those engines!!
Gotta give it to James for getting back into that p50
The sound of James’s Golf is… soooo good 🤤
That thing was orgasmic 🤤😵
You should hear Volvo's S60R with the turbo 2.5
Love seeing the LFA. Such a cool car
Best in video ad I have seen
What an odd sound from that Bugatti. I'm glad you showed the engine build video too. That helped to really show off just how insane this engine really is. Absolutely fun video. I am glad Donut has been able to really step up the content you are producing. Great job.
The Diablo and the Veyron both just gave me goose bumps. James is such a lucky guy who got to DRIVE those monsters.
I will forever die on the hill that the best sounding 5 cylinder engine, was the 1995 BTCC Volvo 850!
A lot of mid 90s racing cars sounded amazing, but that howling 5 cylinder in the Volvo always stuck with me...
I love how Jay Leno is just always willing to show off his car collection to these youtubers🤣
I just love how they have basically become Jays best friends 😂

Props to Jay Leno. I think every old guys wish is just to show off and enjoy your classic cars with the younger crowds that just love these vintage pieces of history
Good for him
It would be such a waste to have a collection like his and not let people appreciate and enjoy them as well
The paint job on the morgan 3-wheeler is so damn cool.
i love that jay is now just a part of the donut cast
The fact you drove an LFA is staggering, best car on the list and definitely one of the best of all time
The most awe-inspiring sound
I swear to god those things dont age, the design is timeless. It's still fresh today like it was 10 years ago. I remember 20 years ago when it was in concept development...
@@TheProgGuy Eh, I don't know. While I agree on the sound with most people, outside it's very clearly from an age when supercars didn't have to compete with regulars cars for wild styling, so it's rather stale by modern standards visually.
Before i even saw the video i assumed jayleno was in it, it's got such a collection
I had a 5 cylinder in my 6 speed Volvo S40 T5 (turbo) it was actually super fun to drive. I then purchased a BMW 335xi 6 speed and that was wayyy more fun to drive, so I ended up giving my S40 to my dad because I always wanted to drive my BMW, but that Volvo was sporty for what it was, it was great because it got better gas milage than a 6 cylinder, and had more power the 4 cylinder so it was a great motor, best of both worlds. I think the 335i is super underrated; twin turbo inline 6 that thing hauled ass for the price you can get a used one for. Mine was all wheel drive too. I bought mine in 2011 and it was a 2008 the guy that sold me his, i don't know what he was thinking he sold it to me for 13.5k with 30k miles. I was looking for one and all dealerships wanted like 25-30k with 50-70k miles on them at the time and that was for a non-AWD. The guy had it custom made too with bunch of upgrades like bose sound system, M3 upgrades like the seats, steering wheel, and the wheels were all M3. I had it up till 2 years ago I had it up to 190k miles put a stage 2 clutch in it at 180k, but my company bought me brand new Toyota Camry AWD back in 2020 that I had custom made and they pay for gas, insurance, registration, etc, and I also have a 2017 F150 with the V8 5.0 Coyote I bought in 2018 to tow my wakeboard boat, but I like it so much when I wasnt driving my Camry I was driving my F150, but since gas is free in my Camry, it's hard to justify driving anything else. I love thay Camry though great looking car almost handled as good as my BMW's. Oh I had a 2007 BMW 328xi at one point too that was an automatic that I drove with my previous company because they reimbursed me for .55 cents a mile and I traveled so much for work as an engineer my company paid for that car 3 times over. I wanted to keep the miles off my other BMW that car got totaled and I just never replaced it made no sense to since I was literally about to leave that job because they had bought 2 other engineers new company trucks and they hardly ever traveled, since mine got totaled I asked to use one of the older trucks got permission but then I got chewed out for taking it home everyday it was a Ram 2500 with cummins that had 450k miles and beat to shit, but they chewed me out because they wanted me to take it back to the office every day when we were working a job an hour away so I was going home every day and they wanted me to drive from my house to the office which is 35 to 40 minutes away to from my house then head to the job site or home after dropping it off so it added over an hour of driving on a job that was going to take 2 months I left after 4 weeks working that job site once I found a new job. Anyways for ever since getting the Camry my 335xi was just sitting so I sold it since it was just collecting dust and my neighbors grandson whenever he was over would walk over and beg me to sell it to him so I eventually said you know what fine bring me 7500 in cash and it's yours. Very next day he did. I had that car for 10 years. Those two BMW's I had 2007 and 2008 3 series were the two best cars I've ever owned, the ride is so smooth, they hauled ass. Maintenance had tad bit more than others but if you kept up with it, it ran so good. I do have access to my dad's 2001 V10 F250, which it's got some power and can tow quite a bit, however he refuses to tow anything heavier than a ski boat with it, which he sold his and now my parents have a cruiser boat, Sea Ray Sundancer 290 which weighs quite a bit he keeps it in a boat slip at a marina, but has the trailer for it so he can do maintenance, however he uses my uncles F250 that has a diesel instead to tow it because he's worried he might break something on his also he already had the transmission go out once right when the warranty expired, so he babies it. I try to tell him his truck can handle it and is built to do that stuff, but he said if it didn't have 170-180k miles and had closer to 100k he would, but also he tells me why risk damaging his truck when he has access to my uncles diesel that designed little better to handle those type of towing capacities, so I guess he has a point. He let me use it for awhile before I bought a truck to tow my boat. You can't even tell my boat is behind his truck, it stops on a dime, mine you can for sure.
