Driving EVERY Engine (1-cylinder to W16) 

It was a pleasure to be part of this video! I hope you guys enjoyed the Bugatti! 👍🏼

Love how supportive Jay Leno is of the younger crowd. Dude is a legend!

That 7 cylinder guy is a menace to the environment 😂

10:23 i love the musicality and sheet music reference. music and cars just go so hand in hand, like bread and butter.

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.

2:00 “double the pistons” I was very confused when the ford GT showed up 💀😂

I love how humble and grateful James seems to be. ALOT of people take things for granted, things that would be life changing for another person.

Now drive the 32 cylinder tractor my grandpa has parked in the barn

James flipping that Peel is probably one of the most iconic moment in Donut

Today on donut, James conquers his one true fear, Justin squishes Jay, Jeremiah nerds out on a Toyota, and Nolan perpetuates the Subaru stereotype

You can’t skip 9 like that and 11 13 14 15

Every time I hear the LFA I get goosebumps. An absolute symphony of a sound

That was my GR Corolla during the Borla segment. Super grateful to have been part of this. Awesome video.

Gotta seriously love that car orchestra that James conducted with Borla’s exhausts.

Man I love Jay Lenos car collection and I love the fact his shares his cars and lets other gear heads enjoy them too 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I just watched your video on different type of engine and this was the next one in suggesting... Truly loved it

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!

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 RU-vid 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.

James trying to talk about the V8 while Adam sends it 😂 love it

1:22 'suck squeeze bang blow' Now that is absolutely memorable.

Jay Leno is a living history book. Amazing!

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

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.

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.

This is not only for entertaining but also educational for me thankyou Donut

11:03 im so glad they brought out the rs3. i was waiting for that

Props to Borla - best commercial I’ve seen in a while

Manny's such an awesome guy. He's literally telling James to floor it without saying it. lol

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.

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

2:20 This was the coolest comercial i ever watched in my life

the LFA will always be one of the best engine sounds ever made

Wankel engines: Am I a joke to you?

Maruf aka, rahmat. Juda mantiqan fikrlar ekansiz 😊

Dude with the radial 7 did an awesome job on his part!

Justin is one of my favorite additions to donut

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.

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?

That Christmas Borla piece was magnificent

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

You guys literally have the best job on the planet!!! I wish I knew a fraction of what you all know

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.

Jay is a true gift to the automotive community, what a gem

16:28 the yelling over the V8 has me dead 💀 😂😂

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.

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.

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

Wow I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel well done! Liked and subscribed

THIS is actual high quality entertainment.

That exhaust symphony was absolutely glorious

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.

i want a full video of the 7 cylinder plymouth!!

loved 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

Donut's been tearing it up with these videos lately

The peel p50 rocks, literally. It also tips.

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!

Can't wait to see Jay Leno and Tim Allen on real mechanic stuff celebrity edition!

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.

Best in video ad I have seen

really nice representation of the different cilinders

Easily one of the best Donut videos ever made. This video is true celebration of motoring.

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. 🤘

Used to have a 2.5l 5 cilidner V50 and a 5 cilinder D5 XC70. loved those motors till death

LFA gave me literal goosebumps, such an amazing machine

I gotta say, I miss the old episodic videos on Donut, but I can't deny the quality and fresh style of modern Donut

The fact you drove an LFA is staggering, best car on the list and definitely one of the best of all time

i can’t tell u how perfect james mk3 is. absolute mint

That borla ad was amazing

Great vid. I'd love to see another Hi-Low series!

I love the fact that Jay Leno has become a regular character on this channel.

You guys are starting to turn into a revamped version of top gear, and I love it!

when james is yelling while drifting, I lost it 🤣

The fact that he talks about the 4/4 time vs 5/4 time was completely unexpected

Every once in a while I notice when the quality of content I consume goes up, and I've consistently watched your channel become a TV level production. Amazing work, Donut!

Absolutely inspired ad spot.

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

The amount of effort you guys put in you sponsor's content cannot be understated. They raise the bar every time...love it👌🏼

Great production to the whole team. Don’t lose that humble edge!!. Thank you Donut for always keeping us entertained .

I love that your golfs color matches with the wheels

That 5cyl sounds beautiful!!

I remember reading that the LFA has a digital tachometer in it because the engine revs up and down so fast that neither a mechanical or electronic tach could keep up with it.

12:44 that is undoubtedly and un-arguably the worst sounding vehicle on this list.

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

V4 engine crying in the corner

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.

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.

Love the video but jobe you gotta fix the way that e46 sounds 12:51

The sound of James’s Golf is… soooo good 🤤

0:07 "The most cylinders put in a production car" Meanwhile Mercdes casually putting 18 cylinders in one of their sedans:

I love how Jay Leno is just always willing to show off his car collection to these youtubers🤣

That's so cool y'all got Leno on the show. Also glad he made a full recovery.

It'd be cool to see a vid on the VW oddities, like the VR6, W8, and W12

I had an I5 in my 04 gmc canyon and I loved it

that borla promo was lit
