- Every once in a blue moon, when the wind blows just right
car manufacturers decide to make absolutely redonkulous
cars, but they only make one. I'm talking about one offs today. Today we're going to take a look at some of the most insane one off cars that unfortunately never
made it into production, but do actually exist and drive. Strap on your Crocs, and
let your dog out to pee pee. This is D-List. Big thanks to Dr. Squatch
for sponsoring this episode. (laughs) Good one, friend. Your skin is your largest organ. So why are so many of you
still using that chemical goo that you discovered in grade school? Well, I don't smell. You may not smell yet. That's just a cover up
of the soap you're using and it's not keeping your skin as healthy as it could and should be. Before Dr. Squatch I
was using some big box, chemical filled, soap that
I thought smelled good, but I probably smelled like this. (audience gasps) Oh, gross. So treat yourself to the lathery goodness of Dr. Squatch soap. I mean, after all, I want
to smell like a crisp IPA or goat's milk from the deep sea. Take it for me, a real man. I grew all this corn. Doughboy's ascend to real manliness. Eat your vegetables, take care of yourself and be proud of your smell. Your skin will thank you later. Head over to Drsquatch.com

Fresca do you think you can drink before going into a coma? I'm asking for a friend. Two liters, three liters? Well, what if I told
you there's a six-liter, twelve-cylinder engine made by Volkswagen and some crazy son of a goof decided to put it back in the back of a Golf. I want to meet the guys. The GTI W-twelve 650 has
a six-liter twin Turbio W-twelve engine from a
Bentley continental GT and the gearbox from a
Phaeton stuffed in the back of a tiny Mark five Golf body. And as the name implies, it is capable of making an
insane 650 horsepower's, which can propel this little
baby up to 202 miles per. This is a small hatchback that
can go 200 miles per hour. But, unfortunately for us Dubbers, Papa Dub only made one of these. They did it in just eight weeks leading up to the Wortherseetreffen
Festival in 2007. I just want to take a moment
to give a big shout out to Bridget, one of our editors,
and her husboy, Dan. They were supposed to go
to Worthersee this year for their honeymoon, but
the world had other plans and it was canceled. They're both very cool
and they have a bunch of really cool V-Dubs. But none of them are as
cool as this one, though! I mean, the looks alone makes me want to put this higher on the list, but if I tried, Max would freaking sue me. You edit the show, Max, you can put it in whatever order you want. I don't even say the numbers, Joe does. Please stop suing me. - [Voiceover] G-eight Sport Truck. - Speaking of Max, he made me
put this next car on the list, even though it's not
technically a one off, but actually a very popular
car down under in Australia. My favorite country
slash island continent. At the 2008 New York Auto Show, Actor Fifty Curtis Jackson Cent unveiled the Pontiac G eight-ST, or Sport Truck, but don't be fooled. Pontiac G eight shared its platform with the Holden Commodore,
which means that this is basically just a Holden
Ute with a facelift. So it's not really that insane. It's just a Holden Ute for America. What is insane is that
they didn't sell it to us. With no weight on the
butt and 361 Horsepower's, this thing was a burnout machine. And the fact that actor slash
rapper Curtis Fifty Cent, star of, "Power" on the
Starz network was there to debut the car in 2008 was pretty cool, but even if Pontiac never
made this for America, you can actually get your
own G-eight converted to youth spec by this company in Colorado who imports chopped up Holden pieces and graphs the body panels onto your Pontiac, like (indistinct). Neat. Do you think that Fifty Cent uses antitheft devices on his cars? Do you think he uses da club? (smash noise plays) - [Voiceover] McLaren F-one Powered wagon. - I don't think that we've
made an episode of this show that did not include a five series wagon. Coincidentally, my editor
slash director, Max, drives a five series BMW wagon. It's almost as if Max is
using his internet power to drive the value of his car up, but it's in this list,
so I gotta talk about it. The BMW E thirty-four M-five
wagon has got to be one of the sickest cars of
the last thirty years. The iconic S thirty-eight inline six made around 335 Horsepower's,
but it wasn't enough for the engineers over at BMW. BMW had recently been contracted
to make some naturally aspirated twelve-cylinder
engines for McLaren. After they engineered and
built a few prototypes, they needed to test the
new engines in something. So they did the logical
thing and dropped the engine that was about to power the fastest car in the world into a dad wagon. Strap in (indistinct)! It is time to go to the school bus! German people don't all talk like that. The V-twelve M-five wagon is
one of BMW's best kept secrets. And they've never actually
let the public lay their sweaty, little eyes on it. But, I would imagine that
driving an early nineties M-five that has more power than a
present gen M-five competition would be, A, very fun,
and two, very scary. - [Voiceover] Hellephant Super Charger. - It's no secret that Dodge
loves making loud, powerful behemoth's with cool-ass names. They got the Demon, they got the Hellcat, they got the Stratus, so
it wasn't that surprising when Mopar came out with a
1000 horsepower Hemi V-eight crate engine with the sickest name ever. The Hellephant! (makes elephant noises) It's an elephant from hell. Any other company, and it would be like, "What are you doing?" Dodge, for some reason,
they can pull it off. The engine is a full seven
liters of diet Fresca, but if that's not enough
diet Fresca for you, you got a massive three-liter
twin screw blower strapped on top of the elephant. This is the Arby's meat
mountain of engines. Now don't get me wrong, it's delicious, but it's literally a crime against nature. Just like the meat mountain
needs a vessel, I E the bun, Dodge needed a vessel for this
four-digit horsepower heart. The 2018 CEMA convention,
Dodge dropped this big, old boy in a 1968 charger body and
called it the Supercharger. It coincided with the Fiftieth
Anniversary of the charger. And the name of the engine
itself was a tribute to the iconic Mopar engine. Dodge modernized a classic charger and made it look absolutely (kisses). I saw it in person at SEMA. Wide body fenders, that
wide mama hood scoop, the grill that extends in
front of the headlights. Are you freaking kicking me, guys? Let us know in the comments if you want to see Nolan swap a Hellephant
into his 1952 Imperial. I would not suggest it. It's got some weird breaks. - [Voiceover] Shelby, "Lonestar" Cobra. - Just like Dodge, Carroll
Shelby is a true American icon. Put my gum in just for this
one, for Carroll Shelby. Like Matt Damon. That was his character for Carroll Shelby. "Oh yeah Carroll Shelby chews gum." Like Dodge, Carroll Shelby
is a true American icon. You probably know him from his chili kit, but one thing you might not know is that he also used to make cars. Shelby and Ford had just
debuted the 427 Cobra in 1965 and good old Shelb's is
working on a followup, called the Cobra three
when Hank the Deuce pulled the plug on development, but the car was pretty much done already. So Shelby basically stole the prototype and drove it back to Shelby American and renamed it after his home state of Texas, "The Lone Star." Sometimes I feel like a lone
star, isolated in my house. The Lone Star drew inspiration
from European race cars at the time and would have
looked insane cruising down American Boulevard's. I mean, it looks like a
(indistinct) prototype. The Ford 289 V-eight
that's in The Lone Star made 320 Horsepower's and has made it to a five-speed ZF gearbox. That sounds really fun,
even though I will never be able to afford it or even fit in it if it made it into production. The car sat in storage for fifty years until all the heat was
off and was restored in time to debut at a
Florida car show in 2018. And if you think about it, Carroll Shelby was the human equivalent
to an insane one-off. Rest in peace, King. - [Voiceover] V-eight Cygnet. - Now for a car that's insane for a completely different reason. Some of you probably drive a
Toyota IQ and I respect that. But what if you could buy the
same car for twice the price? Well, that's what happened
when Aston Martin re-badged the IQ as the Cygnet back in 2011. Just like the imperialists that they are, they took a foreign car,
planted a union jack on it and said, "This is ours, now,
for the queen in the kingdom." And you might be saying, "James, you already
talked about this car." Well, I know, but I didn't talk about this one off version. Aston Martin did something
incredibly cool with one of them. They dropped a big old V-eight
from the Vantage in it. Not only that, they also
gave the V-eight Cygnet comically wide fenders and converted it from front wheel drive
to rear wheel drive. The so called, "Super Cygnet"
makes 430 Windsor Grey's. Those are the horses that
the royal family owns. It's stupid, but I like stupid. That's kinda my thing. - [Voiceover] The Corvette Rondine. - I love when people name cars after people, like the Beau James truck or the Gentlemen Jim. Corvette Rondine coop is named
after a woman named Rondine, which I'm assuming is the
female version of Randy. And let me tell you this
car is Randy as hell. I'm talking Austin Powers horny, baby. "Austin Powers" was a movie that came out when I was a kid, before
most of you were born. And when I was in grade school, all you had to do to be funny
was just say lines from it. And then everyone would be
like, "Oh, that's a funny kid," but I'm over here in
the back of the class, giving them original gold material. I still think that guy's funny
because (indistinct), baby. I'm not bitter. Rondine answers the question, "What would happen if Pininfarina, the guys who designed most
Ferrari's, designed a Corvette?" Because that's what happened. Pininfarina literally
designed this Corvette. Chevy commissioned the
iconic Italian design house to produce this concept car
for the 1963 Paris Auto Show. It boasts a 327 small (indistinct) V-eight making 360 Horsepower. The power, she is nice yes,
but the look, look at the face. She's absolutely... (laughs) From the angry front
valence to the fastback, Pininfarina captured the
essence of the Corvette while lending their own
European twist to it. Now the only Rondine ever made sold to Barrett-Jackson auction in 2008, but can still be seen roaming
the American Southwest, collecting Social Security checks and eating at Cracker Barrel. - [Voiceover] Fiat Panda Monster Truck. - On one hand, people hate monsters. Okay? They're literally hunted by dudes with torches and pitchforks, okay? On the other hand, people love pandas and it's literally illegal to hunt them, unless you're the owner of Jimmy John's. Then you can hunt whatever you want and people still buy your frigging subs. Or that dentist who
killed Cecil, the lion. You think we forgot? Rest in peace, King. So what happens when you
mix a Panda and a monster? You get the Fiat Panda
Monster Truck of cars. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Fiat Panda has been a little
off-road legend in Europe for decades, but Fiat wanted
to do something special for the third gen refresh back in 2011. They took a Panda four by four, put it on a Jeep CJ floor panel and threw some big old thick boy tires on it. How big you say? Fifty-nine inches tall and
almost twenty inches wide. The Panda itself is only
sixty-two inches high. So the tires on the Fiat
Panda Monster Truck make up almost half of the vehicles height. In case you were wondering,
a fully grown giant Panda is only three feet tall. But don't get all excited and go checking Facebook
marketplace or Craiglist or carsbymax.com for a
Fiat Panda Monster Truck because it was only
meant for an ad campaign by Fiat to showcase the Panda's four by four off-road prowess. And it worked. I want a freaking Panda now. Both the car and the animal, but like not, "Tiger King" style. Like I would take really
good care of my panda. I would grow him bamboo and
try and find him a girlfriend. - [Voiceover] Mazda Furai. - Before Rob Dom's four rotor RX-seven, before Rob Dom's three rotor RX-seven, there was the Mazda Furai concept. Now this, this really is
the one that got away. This three rotor
(indistinct)-powered Mazda concept not only looks futuristic
AF almost 13 years after it debuted, it also has
some of the most insane specs of any driving concept car ever made. The three rotor motor boater
made about 450 Horsepower, but what's truly the most
insane thing about this car, it weighs less than 1500 pounds. To put that into perspective,
that is 900 pounds less than a Miata with almost three times the amount of power. It was lighter than the
2016 spec F-one car. That's certified cuckoo bananas. Are you even kidding me? I don't even know if I
can do this video anymore, I'm going so crazy. Sounds like a car that Mr. Beast made. It was designed using Mazda's
Nagare design language, which is Japanese for, "Flow." And the name Furai itself translates to, "The sound of the wind." And that's apparent in its
futuristic aerodynamic shape. It even had little brake lights that had its name on it in Kanji. That's sick. I want brake lights to say my name on it. However, the dream of the
Furai was over before it began. When my uncles at Top
Gear were testing it, the rotary engine caught
fire and the entire car was burned down to Barney rubble. - [Voiceover] Mustang Shorty. - Now it's no secret that
when I was in high school, I rapped under the name, "Mustang Shawty." So it was quite the
surprise when I learned that Ford motor company had
stolen and used my rap name, Mustang Shorty, from one
of their prototypes years before I was even born. The nerve. Mustang Shorty was a
prototype of the Mustang that Ford was toying with a full two years before the Production Mustang debuted. And look at this thing,
it's freaking sick. It had a wheel base a full
sixteen inches shorter than a production Mustang
and a 302 V-eight. This is like an American 240Z with five liter V-eight in it. People went absolutely bonkers for it when Ford debuted it at
the US Grand Prix in 1962. And despite a bunch of
expressions of interest and people clamoring
to put their orders in, Ford never put it through to production. But who knows? If it was made maybe we
would have had some sort of butterfly effect and Ashton Kutcher would have never been born and we would have never gotten punked. And Zach Braff would have
never beaten up that child. That's a real thing. I'd love it if you would
hit that subscribe button, hit that notification bell. If you want to learn more about
that insane W-twelve engine check out this episode
of, "Bumper to Bumper." That's it. I'm going to bed. It's my daughter's birthday. Max, don't Sue me, please.
