BMW M3 Touring, Donut Media's Broken Cars, The World's Fastest GT-R: The Best Automotive Videos on YouTube This Week

An S14 Nissan Sylvia with a bunch of wires on the driver’s side floor; a second-gen Subaru WRX with shredded tires and a blown-out coil-over suspension; two Toyota Tacoma overlanders with off-road damage. That’s what happens when you give car guys who run a car guy YouTube channel a bunch of cars to hoon Lots of damage. Donut Media details what’s broken on all of their cars and what it’s going to take to get them on the road again.

Want to buy a three-year-old Land Rover Defender with just under 43,000 miles? You’re in luck, as Doug DeMuro is selling his personal Defender on his car auction site Cars & Bids. I’m going to be honest, I didn’t watch the whole video to figure out exactly why he’s getting rid of it because a video over 22 minutes long just to say I’m selling my car is a bit much for me. But the car looks clean, though the description does say that his wife was involved in an incident with it at a gas station. But the damage was repaired. It currently sits at a bid of $52,000.

Rare Classic Cars & Automotive History sits down with the former chief designer of the Escalade Dennis Burke. Burke goes over the history of the Escalade from its beginnings as a tarted-up Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon to taking on the brand’s Art & Science design language and becoming an icon. It’s a fascinating watch.

Watching something you know you can’t have sucks. That’s how I felt watching the review of the BMW M3 Touring done by Harry’s Garage (one of, if not my favorite, automotive YouTubers). Metcalfe’s time at Evo Magazine shines through as he gives a great, no-nonsense review of an M3 we’ll never see stateside because BMW would rather you buy an X3 M.

Can a GT-R survive the Arctic cold of Finland? OG Schaefchen and some friends went to find out as they road-tripped through the freezing cold of Northern Finland. On a sad note however, OG Schaefchen does mention in the beginning of this video that this will be his last video for a while, as his mother passed a few days prior to this being uploaded and he doesn’t know when he’s going to post again. My condolences to you, sir. Cars are great, but we all grieve in our own ways. Here’s to hoping that you make your way back to making content again someday.

Toyota’s Sequoia is all new for 2023. And after the previous generation was on the market for so long, Toyota had to bring its A-game with this new one, right? Not quite, as TRD Jon details five things he hates about his $80,000 Sequoia. From big ass mirrors to fuel efficiency that isn’t quite there, it sounds like he might regret his purchase.

How do you make a second-gen Dodge Viper even crazier to drive? By dropping a 1,000 horsepower Hellcat engine in it. That’s what ThatDudeInBlue experienced as he got to drive Throttle.com’s 2001 Viper with an engine swap from a Hellcat Redeye. It has been heavily modified as it was used in 2022's Roadkill Nights sanctioned street racing.

For Pi Day 2023 ( 3/14. Get it? Because pi is 3.14... never mind), Stand Up Math’s Matt Parker uses a bunch of math and a drifting Dodge Charger to calculate pi. It’s fascinating and explained in a way that most people can understand.

There was a time when Chrysler actually made cars that weren’t the 300 or Pacifica. Back in the 1970s, the brand was doing proper luxury land yachts. Like the 1973 Chrysler New Yorker. Another video from Rare Classic Cars & Automotive History, it goes over what made this New Yorker unique, from its massive 7.2L V8 to an interior with enough passenger volume to put some crossovers of today to shame.

Vehicle Virgin went to check out some drag racing. Aside from all the cool metal that was there, the real gem was the fastest Nissan GT-R in the world. In ‘21 this particular car set the world record for the fastest quarter mile in the world. Called Nightfurry, it’s powered by a 4.3L long block with two huge turbos you can see in the front facia that’s enough to give it just over 3,000 points. It ran a time-bending 6.3 second quarter mile at 230 mph.
