That’s right, you’ve read the title correctly. And no, this isn’t an April Fools joke.
Quickly growing into one of the most popular channels on YouTube, with over 9.39 million subscribers, WhistlinDiesel has built a massive following of fans with his extreme antics and destructive vehicle durability test. Starting off with destroying custom diesel trucks, Cody’s success on the internet has allowed him to buy and test other cars, like a Ferrari F8 Tributo, Mercedes-AMG G63, Tesla Cybertruck, and more. But not every exotic he buys is destined for the scrap yard, as he does own and cherish other examples like a matte black Ferrari SF90 Stradale, Ferrari 458 GT3 clone, twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Huracán, and Mercedes-AMG G63. WhistlinDiesel is adding another new car to the fleet as he recently flew to Europe to buy an actual F1 car.
The trip starts in the Netherlands, where the guys meet Ron of GP Cars 4 Sale to pick up Cody’s newly purchased Toro Rosso STR4 Red Bull F1 car. Unfortunately, the car has an unsuccessful history: It started in 55 races with zero championships, zero wins, zero podium finishes, 29 career points, zero pole positions, and zero fastest laps. And without an engine, Cody is now in search of an expert engine builder who will help him engineer an engine swap so he can “drive it every day to the grocery store.” Before loading up the F1 car for its long journey back to the U.S., Ron gave the guys a tour of the facility that houses motorsport icons like a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and the 2003 Le Mans-winning Bentley Speed 8.
Continuing the ultimate European excursion, Germany was the next stop for some high-speed fun on the Autobahn. Cody got behind the wheel of a Ferrari 812 Superfast later that night for a few attempts at a 200mph run. Being at the German dealership gave him the perfect time to remind viewers that when his YouTube channel reaches 10 million subscribers, he must buy a Bugatti Chiron for a durability test. The trip wasn’t complete until Cody left a piece of his destroyed G63 G-Wagon at the Mercedes-Benz museum.
