Well the ford does have a drivetrain and suspension from the 1800′s
It’s funny how they put cars that are more than double the price of a mustang, and then trash talk when the mustang loses! How about he puts that car against a GT500 or rousch, even then, the mustangs are much cheaper!
the mustang needs an irs. bad. if you ever drive in one, you know what i meen.
Lotus has a Toyota engine right..? So maybe thats why the Lotus seems so fast It’s that sticking Toyota gas pedal…Recall the lotus’es !!
nope…
@dntnhemi exactly, its a cramped piece of plastic on aluminum with moderate horsepower which sounds cheap, but instead the beefy big engined comfy muscle car is the most affordable,
He does it for fun. lol he enjoyed the Ford GT a lot thou…
Lotus USA MSRP $74,000
Ford Mustang GT $28,000
Why not put a Shelby 500 up against it, the Shelby would smoke it, thats why.
@VexomniaVT1 he mentions that it is a toyota engine at 1:37
£33,000.
not $33,000.
Even though i like Top Gear, I must say Jeremy Clarkson is extremely biased and the show is far from fair reviews.
Clarkson Would call the Mustang ‘Un-American’ if the paint for the door handle comes from China.
But he dosen’t mention a thing about the Lotus’ whole Engine being a Toyota…
Just a bit unfair if i say so myself.
@p10ghost the lotus cost $33,000 pounds he said
the mustang only cost $11,000? haha not likely, $11,000 pounds is the price of a family econo car like a corolla.
better be careful until Toyota recalls the Lotus engine…
its a shame that the lotus costs 3 times what that mustang costs. i love lotus though
toyota engine.
name of song at 1:04 please ????
@ratchet20751
ix-nay on the “Mustang is built better than a Corvette”. Just aint true. Oh I left out the apostrophe in aint on purpose. Please don’t yell at me.
@ElteeMullet I found this quite, talk about repetative writing, and it failed to have any point at all :p On the other hand you do know how to say fuck but you shouldnt really call people stupid when they talk about cars since you clearly don’t have a clue either.
Haha I so agree. Thats a good one.
yea and the fact that it was 2000lbs and is supercharged with 250hp..of course its gonna beat a car thats 3600lbs and 260-270 hp. and of course a supercar can outperform a street car v8, but do you see 4cyls in lemans cars no..
@liveincardboardboxes lmao hahahaha, if they can drive!
British engineering…and has a Toyota engine. Anyway. Mustang Vs Lotus is like comparing Yamaha R6 and a Kawasaki ZX14…Both great cars when used for what they’ve been built….
mustangs are redneck sports cars.
Lol, this was such a one horse race, which is ironic considering that it’s the mustang that has a horse for it’s logo.
Epic show all the same.
@ratchet20751 Stupid kid that doesnt even own a fucking car worth a shit shut the fuck up….
The Exige is a street built race car due to the fact it has next to 0 creature comforts you dumb fuck. Do you even have a clue about anything? Even clarkson said its not worth a fuck in any kind of weather and has next to 0 creature comforts. Sounds like a street built racecar to me…..
Also shut the fuck up about fast cars as you do not, and will not ever own one….
