Driving the Most Expensive Tiny Car in the World 

The fact that it has two seats makes this 10x cooler

Admit it. Zach and Jeremiah won the Donut lottery. Everyone wanted to drive this thing I bet.

That car is incredibly safe and handles like a charm. You can tell whoever designed this actually spent some time on it. It wasn't just thrown together to make a buck.

Honestly I love this. I *wish* it made it into production. I could absolutely see this being an incredible city car.

if you consider the weight to volume ratio, this has to be the densest vehicle ever produced.

If these were under 15k I'd buy one in a minute. They'd be really popular in dense cities where parking and traffic can be a hassle.

Imagine being on the interstate, and you see this hilariously tiny thing blast by you at 150mph

I need a longer video on this, that thing is so cool!

I’d really love to see more smaller EVs that are absolute rippers!

The inside view looks so normal and then it cuts to outside and it's just hilarious

They need to remaster this car for 2023 with a sensible price tag. It will sell like hot cakes in Europe and Asia.

I went and checked out the design on this vehicle and it's incredible . Thanks Donut for showcasing this vehicle for us !

I remember when these came out, pulled up alongside one in downtown Spokane and laughed at the notion of Sparco seats in a silly electric car with two old guys in it. That laugh was cut short when the light turned green and they absolutely DUSTED me.

This is literally a golf cart on steroids and I love it

Despicable me ahh car

IF THE PRICE WAS RIGHT I WOULD SO GET 1

Jobe's mushed face from the paper towels! I lost it. Couldn't stop laughing!

"Never made it to full scale production" LOL

I think that car company owner should start producing those kind of cars to the market. Bec that's the coolest car to hit the car show!!

These would be perfect in European countries with narrow streets. Would allow for better parking etc

That's Rick from Commuter Cars here in Spokane, WA! Super cool guy. He's been coming into my work for years buying hardware to build that! Cool to see it on Donut!

The best part is while lane splitting nobody will get mad at you because they're too busy dying of laughter 🤣

Commuter cars is from my home town. Those things are crazy to see in person.

Love to see the crash tests on this

that car had me crying laughing for a hot minute it literally looks photoshopped 😂 the part where jerry launched the car and it hauling ass and jobe getting smushed by the toilet paper just added fuel to the fire. my stomach hurts now

If I were to redesign this, I would make the doors slide forward to open. That way it would be easier for both occupants to enter and exit even in tight spaces. I'd also add a sunroof for an alternative way out. A roof rack and a folding basket out back would resolve the cargo issues.

My golden retriever and I would love having one of these. Also awesome that you came all the way up here to Sacramento for this test drive.

Some creations from the early 2000's need to be reinvented with more modern tecnology. This car is SO COOL !! Even more than a "standard" Smart for me.

This is unironically cooler than pretty much any new car in the last 10 years

You can't get mad if someone lane splits you in this. Hard to be upset when you're laughing.

Almost had as much fun watching you guys as you did driving this thing around

I would love to see your team visit Aptera! I really love their vision.

If it sold below $10k I would get one just for my commute. That would easily fit in my garage, next to my truck

A car like that with the front-facing door that one two-sided car had would be pretty good in big cities, because right now even if you can cram it into a tiny spot there's no way to get out and that significantly reduces how useful it is.

I don't care about the sportiness and the speed the size of this thing is what interests me

8:00 im not much of a car person but thanks to this video ive seen my dream car

It looks like one of those mirror illusions where you produce a full face by mirroring one side.

This is probably one of the most un scripted videos donut have done in a long time, it’s actually so funny, especially jobes genuine concern when they first started driving

Congratulations to the creators! I respect the work!

it makes me so happy to see a dream being built and produced, much like the first Honda motorcycles.

I've been following this car for years so it's nice to see a big channel finally cover it. This is honestly one of my dream cars because it has advantages that 99% of other cars don't have. Driving something so fast, safe and that can corner so well sounds incredible. It's the ultimate sleeper. Plus it can legally lane split in California. The reason why it's still so expensive is due to a lack of investors to bring the car into full production. If it was affordable, like $20k, I would totally buy one.

THANK YOU for the Burton/Jobe tandem. Just two guys being dudes. Good chemistry, good humour, good content. Send Zachemiah on more adventures please.

I've been a fan of the Tango since 2005. So glad to see it getting some media attention.

Cornering on high speed would feel amazing

Getting refined "P45" [Clarkson's one seater car from TG] vibes from this - and it seems to have solved the weather issues!

If this car was a cheap production car, i would buy it INSTANTLY

Man, I find myself really wishing this took off. For just driving to work, it'd be the best thing ever.

I love it. I would definitely buy o e if it was realistically affordable.

No joke, I genuinely want a car like this for my everyday commute from home to work. I would need a different car for hanging out with friends, day trips, stuff like that, but I would actually want something like this for standard transport

This seriously takes me back. I sat in the back of the red prototype car back in 2006 or so, and yeah it was a bit of a squeeze getting back there. It wasn't uncomfortable though. Performance was amazing, absolutely brutal acceleration. I remember being amazed at how solid it felt around corners. The series/parallel switch was a feature of a DC motor controller that was really popular in the electric drag racing scene at the time. This car was at least to some extent a product of that scene (it was at a NEDRA drag racing event that I saw the car and met the designer and his son). I miss that time, hanging around so many people building their own crazy high-performance electric vehicles because major manufacturers wouldn't, and wondering where all this was going to go. Rick Woodbury was one of the few back then who stepped up and started trying to do something big. I have long wondered what became of Commuter Cars, and it wasn't more than a month ago that I looked it up and was impressed to find they're still around.

Taking "sleeper" to the next level. Looks like it tops-out at 35 and threatened by a mild breeze, and yet...

that's a kid's dream right there flying in this thing with your buddy, coolest thing ever

That car is ridiculously cool. And to think it is "Nascar safe" too. Incredible.

The world needs more footage of Justin in a tank. A whole episode. Make it happen Donut

This has huge Top Gear energy. Well done!

Y’all aren’t giving this enough credit, it’s literally the perfect car. Easily parkable, takes up VERY little space, zero emissions, what more could you possibly want

"Listen your mirriors are the widest part, so if the mirrors fit the car fits. It's like a cat and it's whiskers, if the whiskers go the body goes" OMG this had my dying 🤣🤣😂

"We're driving some guys dream" That really is cool, what an accomplishment.

no matter what you might thing of it you can't deny this seems like incredible fun, i mean the possibilities are endless

Can someome please run one of these on pike's peak? Since it handles so well, and it's narrow profile will allow it to run lines through the apexes other cars can't. Not to mention it's performance isn't affected by the altitude.

Watching it go on traffic is weird to the eyes and brain, that car is cool af

it honestly looks like a well-built car, props to the guy who made it. shame it has to be so expensive.

It looks cool,and has some use! That's awesome!

5:32 for a second I thought he lowered the window but the was the powerline showing in the window that made me feel that way.

A family friend of mine owns one of these things, have yet to ride in the back. But we live here in Australia and he had to pay even more than the buying price. As he had to pay for an engineer to fly to New Zealand, rebuild the disassembled car and then shipped to Australia. There was something with the import laws that meant he had to do it this way, but he was determined to get it into the country lol.

Love this thing. Lane splitting with heat and AC is sweet. Headlights are from a caravan and tails are from an Isuzu Axiom.

Wow they should get this into production!

"Could this be the only car you own" well no, I need to get groceries. It does sound (and look) like a cool concept though. Some actual storage space and I'm more interested!

If it came with the van, absolutely. Like van ev for long journeys, park it in the outskirts, take this into the city, get what you need then back to the van, its like a step up from the honda kei car and bike

I love the genuine fun they had testing this tiny car! I had a smile on my face the whole time to see how cool this car is!

They used to sell these in Sharper Image catalogs. I remember seeing it there and never hearing about it again until seeing this video title. I KNEW exactly what car you were reviewing from the title.

Imagine if everyone in the inner city owned these?

Jez and jobe are always a killer combo, love to see more videos of them checking stuff out

this has such a top gear vibe. i love it

best car for former U2 Pilots

What made this car cool (to my pov) is how narrow the car is you can get in from anyside and the speed

I don’t know whats more crazy is the fact that this little car is fast and so small or that they went and got Arby’s. I have never heard of anyone actually going to Arby’s.

Beremiah’s giggles are the BEST in this video 🤣🤣

With a better design and a "normal" price this car can be a winner!

me watching this at 3 am for no reason, i want it

I'm not even a car person and I absolutely love donut media... this would be handy when I drive around Chicago...

What a giggle fest. Looks super fun to blast around

I love it. It shouldn't be even 10% of the sale price, but I love it. This is what the electric Smart Car should have been.

I want one so bad, wish they made it to production. The attention alone was great.

I'm a scooter owner, and back when I started looking for serious reviews of serious bike streamers I could only get videos of them just having fun. Like they don't even put scooters on the same category, and this is what this video made me feel: serious car people, just having fun, enjoying themselves on a fun little car, and it made me want to get one. I wish they would get mass produced some day.

These were made in Spokane WA, my home town. I used to see them driving around back in the day. I got left at the lights by one once and it blew my mind how fast it was! These were just ahead of their time. Wish they had made it to full production. Go look up a video of the Tango on a autocross course!.. crazy how well it handles.

I mean it could be practical for the drive to work, and if the second seat wouldn't be in there maybe you could buy some groceries too (not much I guess but some) - question for the groceries could you put some storage on top of the car or would that be too dangerous? Edit: would -> wouldn't

lmao 6:49 that's the same make and color of the smart car I have. I'd be thrilled if I saw your car pull up beside me lol

That would be so fun. You could drive to the mall then just drive right inside the mall and do your shopping.

7:00 I love how he has to drive it like a bus

I drive 5 miles a day, 2.5 miles to work and 2.5 miles home. I want something tiny and fun like this, if it was ever mass produced I bet it would have been affordable and I would be driving that instead of a 2020 Elantra.

"Does it come in black? " (Bruce Wagne)

I lost it at, "I'm gonna die". Literally guffawed in the middle of the gym.

Impressive for its age

Apart from the insane price, that's an amazingly practical little city car with way, way more performance than it really needs. The same sort of packaging aimed at the commuters, then there's a market. However, engineering one for the right price position would be incredibly difficult.

I don't think I've ever wanted a car so much in my life

Please make more videos like this! This feels like a return to real car videos that I not only enjoy but learn something new from.

I fell in love with this car at the L A Auto Show in 2004, it was 20yrs ahead of its time...

Wow, I love this thing. I usually hate little cramped cars but this thing is absolutely cool as hell. Doesn't roll even though it looks tall, handles perfect and is fast as anything I want to be fast. I love it! Never seen it before, but I'd definitely buy one without a doubt (if I had 300k lying around of course).

Should be parallel to series. Higher voltage= rpm/ higher current= more torque.
