WhistlinDiesel Buys F1 Car in Europe, Hits Autobahn at 195 MPH, Teases Bugatti Stunt
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious
Popular YouTube personality WhistlinDiesel has taken his automotive exploits to new heights — and speeds — with the purchase of a real Formula One race car and a 195 mph sprint down Germany's Autobahn.
Known for wild vehicle stunts and destruction tests that blur the line between car culture and chaos, the content creator — whose real name is Cody Detwiler — recently traveled to Europe to expand his garage of extreme machines.
His first stop: the Netherlands, where he took delivery of a Toro Rosso STR4 F1 car from GP Cars 4 Sale. The Red Bull-backed race car, which competed during the 2009 season, is more notable for its aesthetic and heritage than performance, having notched zero wins or podiums in its Formula One career. It currently lacks an engine — a problem Detwiler says he plans to solve with an unconventional swap aimed at making the car 'daily drivable.'
The visit also gave the YouTuber a close-up look at motorsport history, including a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Bentley's 2003 Le Mans-winning Speed 8.
Next, Detwiler crossed into Germany and took to the famed Autobahn in a Ferrari 812 Superfast, managing to reach 195 mph. 'We were trying for 200,' he joked in a video, 'but traffic had other plans.'
Not one to leave viewers without a teaser, Detwiler reminded fans of his long-standing pledge: once his YouTube channel hits 10 million subscribers — it currently sits at 9.39 million — he'll purchase a Bugatti Chiron and subject it to one of his infamous durability tests.
The trip concluded with a stop at the Mercedes-Benz Museum, where Detwiler left behind a piece of a G63 G-Wagon he previously destroyed — a fitting signature for a man whose brand is built on breaking the rules, and sometimes the cars.

Trump plans to attend 'Les Misérables' at the Kennedy Center
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump is set to take a seat at Wednesday's opening night of the award-winning musical 'Les Misérables" at the Kennedy Center, where he replaced the previous leadership with loyalists, had himself installed as chairman and pledged to rid the performing arts venue of programming he has complained is 'woke' and too focused on leftist ideology and political correctness. The Republican president's attendance at the sold-out showing of the Tony Award-winning tale of redemption in 19th century France comes as he has focused more than any recent predecessor on the arts center along the Potomac River that is a memorial to a slain Democratic president. Presidents' involvement in the Kennedy Center's affairs had been limited to naming members to the board of trustees and attending the taping of its annual honors program in the fall. But after returning to office in January, Trump stunned the arts world by firing the Kennedy Center's longtime director and board and replacing them with loyalists, who then named him as chairman, and promising to overhaul its programming, management and even appearance as part of an effort to put his stamp on the national arts scene. Trump's appearance in the Opera House on Wednesday, accompanied by first lady Melania Trump, will also mark his first time at a Kennedy Center performance as president. He avoided the venue after entertainment industry pushback to his policies in his first term in office, breaking with presidential tradition by never attending the annual Kennedy Center Honors taping. His moves have upset some of the center's patrons and performers. In March, the audience booed Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, after they slipped into upper-level seats in the Concert Hall to hear the National Symphony Orchestra. Trump appointed Usha Vance to the Kennedy Center board along with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Fox News Channel hosts Maria Bartiromo and Laura Ingraham, among other supporters. Sales of subscription packages are said to have declined since Trump's takeover, and several touring productions, including 'Hamilton,' have canceled planned runs at the center. Artists such as actor Issa Rae and musician Rhiannon Giddens scrapped scheduled appearances, and Kennedy Center consultants including musician Ben Folds and singer Renée Fleming have resigned. Understudies may perform Wednesday night due to boycotts by 'Les Misérables' cast members. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has adopted a more aggressive posture toward the arts. The White House has taken steps to cancel millions of dollars in previously awarded federal humanities grants to arts and culture groups, and Trump's budget blueprint proposed eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Trump has also targeted Smithsonian museums by signing executive orders to restrict their funding and by attempting to fire the director of the National Portrait Gallery. Trump hosted the board at the White House for dinner in May and said congressional Republicans have pushed for more than $250 million for repairs and maintenance at the Kennedy Center. He claimed that 'tremendous amounts of money' had been spent at the center but 'they certainly didn't spend it on wallpaper, carpet or painting.' He characterized previous programming as 'out of control with rampant political propaganda' and said it featured 'some very inappropriate shows,' including a 'Marxist anti-police performance' and 'Lesbian-only Shakespeare.' Trump cited some drag show performances as a reason to take control of the center, though next season's theater lineup includes 'Mrs. Doubtfire," which tells the story of a divorced man who disguises himself as a female nanny so he can spend time with his children. Trump also visited the Kennedy Center in March to preside over a board meeting and take a tour. The Kennedy Center, which is supported by government money and private donations, opened in 1971 and for decades has been seen as an apolitical celebration of the arts. It was first conceived in the late 1950s, during the administration of Republican President Dwight Eisenhower, who backed a bill from the Democratic-led Congress calling for a National Culture Center. In the early 1960s, Democratic President John F. Kennedy launched a fundraising initiative, and his successor, President Lyndon B. Johnson, signed into law a 1964 bill renaming the project the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Kennedy had been assassinated the year before.
