Richard Hammond of The Grand Tour and Drive Tribe recently took a look at some influencer cars to see what’s going on with some of the internet’s most popular automotive influencers. What Hammond discovered were a mixed bag of heavily modified exotics and questionable engine swaps. So let’s see what Hammond thinks about the state of influencer cars.
First up we have YouTuber TJ Hunt with a beautiful class Mustang GT350. Hammond loves Mustangs, but he’s found a huge problem with TJ Hunt’s car. Instead of the classic Mustang V8 TJ elected to swap in an RB26 2.6-liter straight-6 engine from a Nissan GT-R. As a Mustang Purist Hammond is admittedly offended which is most likely the exact reaction TJ Hunt was hoping for when it comes to his Mustang build.
