Speed Racer SUPERCHARGED! 

i wonder how they came up with these terms. it makes my head spin. i guess this is what star trek fans feel like with all that technobabble.

Goggles Tigerkhan no cause star trek fans have been watching for years so we know whats being said.

Shows you how much they loved making this.

I know what you mean. So many Productions the talk about future Tech just take our current technology and expand it out. The guys that did this are inventing totally new technologies

@@tolfan4438 whats funny is that about 25% of it actually makes any technical sense. Most of it is just fancy sounding words put together

Ya when I watched this as a kid I wanted to know about Rex's T-180, I've always thought it was the cooler looking car.

@@MegaXron211 The Mach 4?

@@art-n-filmsam3844 I think he talks about the Augury but i don't really know what he means

Very sad

It makes me sad that what you said is so true

That's why it's called "Science FICTION".

Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog their going about 417-430 mph max

In the video game, 417 is about as fast as I've ever gone.

Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog They simply wouldn’t have the downforce to take the corners, which also if taken at 400 mph would result in a drivers immediate death, no human on Earth has the fitness to survive the G forces nor the reflexes to handle the apex. However, IF the turns were significantly more banked perhaps.

Lee Presson TRUE

Agreed, maybe it would’ve been received better on release than this was(I liked it before it gained a cult following)

Especially if they base it on the HW35 series (World Race & Acceleracers)

I'd die happy knowing F-Zero has a live action movie directed by the Wachowskis.

​@@BlueThunderO7now that I would love to see. But who would they have play Captain Falcon?

@@wolfhurricane897 Dwayne Johnson maybe? He seems like a good candidate to play Captain Falcon.

I noticed that too. It sounds just like Brian's Skyline in 2 Fast 2 Furious

I thought I was the only one who noticed

Kendall Fire HOLY SHIT. IT DOES. ALL THESE YEARS AND I NEVER NOTICED!

Kendall Fire not exactly

I knew that! Now since im in the Illuminati, we will make Paul Walker turn into Snake Oiler!

+Stephen Hook Heh Heh....

NOW I KNOW WHAT IS THE NEXT BRAND THAT WILL SPONSOR A CAR

What?

Watch some of the video game footage at like 50% (.50) speed....makes it look believable...

Don't forget Formula Drift

And group b

Well, it's Nascar, F1 And Rally

This is like 2100 Racing , we only have to wait 80 more years xD

I was thinking more like F-Zero.

@@BlueThunderO7 What's F-Zero?

@@ThomasLover-fr8nh It's the fastest, most punishing race in the history of the galaxy. It's a futuristic anti gravity racing game that kicked off the anti gravity racing genre back in the early 90s by Nintendo.

@@BlueThunderO7 I see. Thanks.

Jason Tachin Well, the whole point of the spearhook was that no one knew about it until Speed's clever exposure of it to the world. If we're assuming this video is before that, no one would know if the spearhook, including this narrator. It can also explain why he erroneously refers to Racer X's Augury car as a modified Shooting Star.

@@AniMariBro but of course that didn’t work “That Cheater! He’s using his Spear Hook!”

Quite the contrary, the bird was actually used before the race even started. That scene where the camera panned through the opponents' cars and revealed the weapons hidden within was actually the Bird scouting out the competition so Speed knew what gadgets the racers were packing before they were ever activated.

@@dyproxus1806 rw:very Intriguing DP

@@dyproxus1806 You just blew my mind. I've watched the movie so many times for nostalgia as well and even now I didn't catch that

Agreed

Ilya Jolteon I used to watch this in the special features all the time and never once noticed that.

Ilya Jolteon Juicy Drop pop did too!

Now i really want a sparco steering wheel....

Even Yokohama does as well, just look at the mach 5's tires.

I knew

SteamKing2160 we just have to figure out a way to defy the laws of physics then we'll be all set

The T-180 (rotating castor wheels) concept was invented by the Wachowski siblings to permit stronger game play in the movie. Whether the 4 wheel steering would actually help at 300 mph is a good question. The artists designing the cars actually came up with some really advanced racing machines that might outrun today's F1s but the producers reeled them in and asked them to concentrate on cars that could be identified with the characters instead.

Peter Shreeves correction 800kmh which translates to hold on... 497.097 soo lets just do some quick rounding and call it 500mph also i have proof: right before the grand prix starts and mr. royal-pain-in-the-ass decides its a good idea to install a spearhook on the grx, mr royal-pain-in-the-ass said that the grx could travel an excess speed of up to 800 kmh.

Plus, these things basically have jets on their rear end. So 4 completely free-rotating independent wheels with a massive "26 cylinder" on the back pumping fumes backwards, accelerating such a "car" to 50% speed of sound? While whirling and jumping and somehow controlling every aspect of the car just by seemingly shifting your weight in the cockpit, it's amazing how this "Earth" in the movie seems to completely ignore gravity and the law of conservation of angular momentum.

2031 I have calculated it based on the 1943 grand Prix

yes

Well they made the video so uh yrah

Hey, I mean, lorewise it'd make sense why they get it wrong - Racer X is so secretive that even with exclusive access, all the guy can do is guess.

the one who posted the video didn't make this, it is on the DVD

@@RockyFoxxowo they didn't, it's an extra on the DVD

Its the same sound clips from 2 Fast 2 Furious

Its like monster truck were front and back wheels turns respectably

They could probably make a new race track within 5 years but they can vary.

I assume each wheel is individually attached with some form of motion

My quick guess on the wheels is: -Instead of a rim you have a huge bearing magnetically connected to the wishbone powering it. The steering mechanism however comes from above and is connected to that weird Axel thing surrounding the wheel, which is connected to the bearing. -Whenever you turn, the wheel quickly gets disconnected from the wishbone in order to allow it to rotate. But this bring s an actual problem. If it disconnects then there’s no longer any power going to the wheels, and we’ve seen the cars actually go up some curves while steering. So I honestly have no fcking idea 😂 that, or there’s a spherical differential within each wheel connected to some crazy gearing on the wishbone ends👌

@@Dansuperfly would that be true for all T-180s or just the GRX? I think the T-180 is more realistic.

By displacement, they probably meant pressure, as in negative pressure supercharging.

does it stop the car from getting destroyed by timetravel cuz that is what the flux capacitor does

THE FLUX CAPACITOR IS THE THING THAT *ALLOWS* THE CAR TO TRAVEL! NOT PROTECTS IT!

Lego88fan does a flux capacitor turn everyday oxygen into liquid fire?

Don't forget the Pulse detonation engine in another car.

Technically the grx was just an engine

A mix of F Zero and the Spy Kids Mega Race.

well the mach 5 does show up in the race scene from ready player one

@@rampagingelephant7353 wait really? I haven’t noticed

@@carlosmattessich3883 yeah. One of the main characters drives it, but you barely see it. Also the design of it is really weird.

@@rampagingelephant7353 I can't find any good images of it, but a clear backview shot shows that they were trying to go for a more supercar like take with the Mach 5.

That's because it is, but faster

The Mach 6 shown here is actually the original Mach 6 that was destroyed in the Fuji Helixicon. The best way to distinguish is by looking at the wheel guards, specifically the lack of the red M shapes, being silver M's instead.

@@AniMariBro Yet it mentions the car being built in 32 hours.

@@milesprower2944 Continuity error. That’s all.

Hopefully, but since we have a Hot Wheels expansion with a crazy track on Horizon 5, it is quite unlikely we will see a Speed Racer expansion pack, but It would be freaking dope if we get it someday.

The original video (on the DVD release anyway) is in this level of resolution

It's not available in HD, not even in the Blu-Ray

@@TheSmileyOne That's quite unfortunate.

most of them are completely made up. even i had to figure out if anything was "realistic" or not. i wonder why they couldn't they just use realistic parts XD

Well, they didn't use real car parts so that they could create a setting in which physics don't quite align correctly. It's a world-making technique.

well they have made one "in real life" version of a t-180 made by petrobras ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iKbNQLjfrj8.html

Most of them don't exist, it's okay

My favorite is Togokahn's.

mine's still the Mach 6

@@denrichmorales4704 indeed i wonder mach 7+ would be like

Even though most likely that will never happen as it was a 2008 film

@@100roundcheddarbaybiscuit there was one made for Wii and D's. And it was pretty movie accurate. All these cars and tracks were in the game.

Walked out after 20 minutes, a true insult to the series that I grew up with in the 70s.

+cameraman655 Why did you even bother watching it then??

LeaveTheMark I don't even get how he considers it an insult, it stuck pretty damn close to the source. It had the cheesiness and everything. One of my favorite movies actually.

He's probably just being a miserable fool :)

Fuck the original Speed Racer. The movie was far better than any other Speed Racer I've ever seen.

It is an RB26DETT, because of the noises

bluesrike I like to think that they intentionally said that. Like he said, they "reverse-engineered" the car, meaning they saw what they could see and tried to make up the rest of it as best as they could. Because of that, they assumed that it was a modified Shooting Star instead of a different vehicle altogether, since Racer X is an unknown character at the time. It's all based on the narrator's knowledge of the cars, hence why he doesn't mention the Mach 5's radar bird or the GRX's spearhook, as the former was never mentioned other than in the modification clip, and the latter was never known about until the final race when Speed exposed it to the world.

@@AniMariBro Ah, he's being intentionally misled and top secret info wasn't disclosed to the narrator. I get it.

gameoholic1994 well that would still be illegal because without almost irreversible change it wouldnt be even close to being able to compete in a t-180 race. Also it wold have to be converted into a one-seater so i doubt that it would ever be an official t-180 without ever being the same car.

Yeah, with the way the T180s are built, the Mach 5 would never fare well in a T180 race, whether it had a T180 wheelbase or not. You'd have to replace the wheelbase, the engine, the exhaust for the engine, the general streamlining of the car, and you'd have to remove all the modifications from it, which when you place it all together would end up with a car that looks like the Mach 6 anyway, so why make the Mach 5 unrecognisable when you could just make a new car?

well the mach 5 would have still not be legal to race against the other T-180. its kinda like how Formula E cars and F1 car classes are separate IRL. the mach 5 is in a separate class from the Mach 6

its unironically amazing how yall can know so much about fictional cars

Turn-180, it's referencing the steering range, so a T-180 can turn the wheels upto 90° in either direction and a T-360 would be able to spin them fully (thus swapping reverse and forward gears)

Kwaku Darko Well they're T-180 cars, I suppose they are based on Formulas.

the tires are on rotating axles XD

Then again why do you think they were named T-180s? Because they can turn 180 degrees

Same here. 👍

Me three!

Brendan Nelson it basically uses negatively charged pressure to power the cars engine... Duh

Me too!

who knows lol

Oh, and don’t forget the Racer Bros’ (Speed and Racer X/Rex Racer) Mach 5 & Shooting Star. They both have a Yokohama Advan tire branding on its sidewalls.

The tires have ADVAN written on them, so im sure ADVAN is sponsoring.

TheFilipinoCharmeleon and the Mach 5's tires have " Yokohama " on them

+Agent Briorian Ace IX damn I never spotted that

A background character's car is plastered with "Petrobras", a brazilian oil company. That company also made a real-life drivable version of said car as promotional material for the movie. Just search "Petrobras Green Energy Speed Racer"

Well theres also Juicy drop pop that sponsered a racers Rally car in the Casa Cristo 5000. Its seen onnthe front hood and bumper at the scene

+XR32X Here's something else, too. Before Rex Racer faked his death, he drove for Uniroyal apparently.

@@alexk8792 actually he drove for Uniron. But Uniron was linked to BlackJack Benelli a fixer for the WRL. Benelli was thought of being responsible of Rex's death at Casa Cristo in the Maltese Ice Caves, alrough that being false. With that it was enough evidence to bring down Uniron.

​@@d.dankey1168 It's easy to get the name wrong. Didn't Rex openly cheat in racing while driving for Uniron?

@@alexk8792 yeah he had to. The races were always fixed and had to take orders from the criminal underworld which is why he tried to take out Richenback and Yokima in the races that resulted in a DNF although he never had any intention to do this on purpose as he was forced to.

@@d.dankey1168 Even in a coporacratic world like the universe that the 2008 Speed Racer movie, there are criminals who are willing to manipulate things in order to get what they want. Also, didn't Rex openly cheat just to show that there's a big problem with cheating in professional racing?

It looks like a car that would actually had made it into production, visually at least

There are about 3 real world sponsors in the movie. Thor-Axine has a Sparco sponsor, the Mach 5 and Racer X's regular car have Yokohama ADVAN tires and one of the background cars in the Casa Cristo race is sponsored by Juicy Drop Pop.

i noticed that

I saw them in the video

Something like that, My friend.

Maya Luna probably the weight

+Maxzu Ronin I actually want the Mach 6 from The Next Generation

Lego88fan word I like that one the most

Why are you even hear than?
