Decades on Dirt: 50 Years of Off-road Supercars
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Porsches were winning dirt races in the 1950s. Ferrari once scored a WRC podium. Off-road supercars aren't just a new trend, they've been around for decades, in off-road racing like Dakar. With the end of Group B in the 80s, off-road supercars became the high-speed toys we see today, and their popularity is rising. In this video, we take a look at some of the history of off-road sports cars and supercars, to see why these aren't just a recent trend or dumb gimmick. Off-road supercars bring back fun!
In this video, host James Freeman (@car-nivores) describes the Lamborghini Sterrato, Porsche Safari, 953, 959, and 911 Dakar, Ferrari 308 GTB Gr4, Mega! Track, Local Motors Rally Fighter, Ariel Nomad, and Ford Mustang Raptor.

Duuude I fully thought that was Justin with a funny mic on lool
I thought that voice sounded familiar, its funny that both brothers fell into such similar places.
I'll give this new Overdrive a chance, but I think it's only fair to announce the changes properly . If Scott is done with the channel, if you are the new owner, it's better to tell us honestly - it will be better for the channel in the long run. Gotta build trust with your audience.

Holy shit! Justin is guest hosting this week! Edit after watching the first 30 seconds: I stand corrected

For a second i thought this was a Donut crossover. But this Justin was a bit off xDDD
Great Vid Man. I always wanted a jackedup offroad stingray. The corvette's big fenders and curvy hipline are begging for a set of 40's. Keep up the awesome content. Looks like your bro has some competition. Stay Happy and Healthy.
Now that's a name Mega. Excuse me MEGA!! The MEGA track the ultimate off road car. MEGA length and MEGA wide frame. MEGA V12 horsepower thrust you forward at a reasonable MEGA price. MEGA!!
Lol, this was trippy. Great job James.
i was so confused i was like "wait isn't his name justin??"
Great video. My wife still says no when I threaten to "Safari style" my Boxster. I've always loved rally cars and safari is great way to have your own.

Do it!
i, as a farmer, needs an off-road capable car. Probably more capable than these (still too low). So i'm "stuck" buying suvs and pickups. i had a heck of a "rally stage" this week coming back from the farm. 30 kilometers of slidy and/or deep mud, sand and clay, with so much rain that some parts were deeply flooded. i was in an amarok and i had a blast making my way through the "dirt" stage of my commute that day. I also have a mitsubishi outlander gt, which has a more fun (240hp v6) engine and better handling, but i can't really toss as much in the dirt because of the much shorter suspension travel, which will bottom out if it catch ANY air or more severe bump, but i still have fun in that too.
Where did the other guys go though?
I miss old overdrive so much 😢

Then watch the old videos. But this is how they started off before they did in person activities. It wasn't sustainable financially.

Justin went to Hollywood, his brother went to Britain! :D
Literally a pass the parcel KZread channel at this point.
you guys better hold on TIGHT to James! He's an awesome host, very much like his brother!
Great job man. Loved the content and presentation
please, keep bringing content, nice to know that Freeman came in twins
James: "I might look familiar " Me: Yes... but also not quite and im not sure how to feel about it... James: "... and my brother, Justin!" Me: Ahhh.....
Welcome to Donut
Nice vid. Keep it up. Ignore the haters. They just love hating
Im definitely rooting for you😅
WRC needs to make a Supercar rally series!! Imagine seeing mustangs raptor, Porsche 911 Dakar, Hurtican Sterato and others competing on a rally stage!!
Dude I thought Justin left Donut for second lmao
This is how I find out he wasn't lying about the twin brother.....
I thought I was watching Donut for a sec.
I literally thought I was tripping lmao
Cool vid, some stuff there I’d never heard of. Just a couple of tiny things. With the Ariel Nomad it is only the R version, of which there are only about 6 that have the sequential transmission. The other 98% have normal H pattern 6 speed. And the winch and adjustable suspension are options so not all have those either. These things are so customisable from the factory that I don’t think 2 exist with the same spec! And I bloody love mine 😎
TIL Justin from Donut have a twin brother.
I like everything that looks like from a Mad Max movie.
Are you sure, they are just sibling? I think they are just alter ego😂😂😂
BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL 3 GUYS Willam, Callum and Scott.
Wait what
Despite the comment iam still having fun watching
That's Justin trying to run a new channel without being sacked from Donut
Porsche never saw dirt again? Maybe have a look at the WRC of the past years. There is a Porsche 911 GT3 racing. Also Alpine A110. Romain Dumas drives the 911 GT3 RS R-GT.

I might be wrong, but I don't think there were factory-backed Porsches in WRC or Dakar after the 959. Certainly privateers have continued to race in Porsches, but that's not quite the same as Porsche itself going racing again.
IF that Mustang Raptor is real, it's 100% going to be a "Raptor" Version of the Mach E, not the sportscar.
I thought I'm high or something 😂, turns out I'm not
What happened to this channel
what happened did they get sold or something?
No wait what?
This isn't donut. Wait, you have never been in an F1 car! But hell ya, you know, how to lay down some info.

Not profitable-enough for the owner iirc, the same people that were here before went to other channels
my farts are better than overdrive's farts
only came here to say, this channel is dying. I don’t even know who this person is in the video. I speak for most of your early subs when I say we miss the top gear style presentation. That’s the only reason I came to this channel. As you can see your views have plummeted since going back to generic youtuber car voiceovers. There’s way better channels out there for that. Sucks to unsubscribe from what used to be one of my favorite channels, but there’s no reason for me, or apparently hundreds of thousands of people, to be here anymore.
