"This is Germany. There are procedures to follow. I like procedures" That's why you were chosen, James. I don't think VW trusted the other two not to do something stupid.

Even in 144p can we just take a moment to rejoice in the quality of this segment from when Top gear was at it's best. The 20 seconds either side of the 7:00 mark is just so well put together, especially at the point it clicks to 407KPH. The cinematography and post production on Top gear was, and still is the best in the motoring sector on television, anywhere in the world... One of the things that us Brits are still world class at !

@Koulnis 15 лет назад

I do have to say though... the video production team never lets up. And they captured that moment of exhilaration at 250 mph perfectly. and good on Capt. Slow. I am happy for him to have experienced such a thing.

@swimmer751 9 лет назад

One of the best episodes they made; absolutely love the video editing and soundtrack. Comments are genius. Great episode!

The music that's playing when he's nearing top speed is an edited version of Duel of the Fates from Star Wars Ep. 1: The Phantom Menace.

Fastest i've driven in a car is about 260km/h in a 2006 (i think) BMW 545 v8 which had the speed limiter removed. On 2 wheels i've also hit about 260km/h but to be honest that didn't feel very nice at all. I wonder though, if i'd get a chance to drive the Veyron in a place like James has... How far would i get before i'd say enough is enough.

@TiagoFerreira20930 3 месяца назад

People just don't understand exactly what Bugatti achieved with this car. Its not just tuning a car, achieving such speeds and thats the end of it. Its about designing a car that can handle those speeds without shattering itself to pieces. Engine, drivetrain, gearbox, bodywork, chassis, everything must be perfect both at slow and super highspeeds. I mean, just imagine the amount of stress that gearbox must go through. The Veyron is the first. Its the daddy of the Hypercar. Its thanks to the Veyron that we have the the speed demons of today.

@Funkteon 14 лет назад

You can see the poor lad get choked up as he lets off the accelerator.. For any man, that kind of experience is nothing short of a religious moment and there is no substitute for slipping behind the wheel of yet another amazing engineering feat like this. I envy Captain Slow (not so slow anymore) and look forward to seeing many more great vehicles in the future of Top Gear = )

I was just 10 years old at that time and I became a fan of this show and its been more than 15 years and I still watch Top Gear and Grand Tour and all their shows. in 2008 Richard Hammond inspired me to become an engineer when I saw his show Engineering Connections on National Geographic. now I am an electrical engineer working in London England. This video is very special to me.

In 2008 HD YT uploads were not standard fare

@SirLugash 10 лет назад

Yes but 240p isn't even SD...

@KuntaKinteToby 10 лет назад

You are right, but 240p is the largest size the average person's mobile device could reliably load quickly, due to the speed of wireless networks. 3G had just come out for a lot of places around the world and not many people had it, so that's why its 240p, so most people using the regular cell network to connect could. Just two years later everyone anywhere had at least 3G, if not 4G or better, if you notice their 2010 uploads are full HD, and the lowest reso is 360p.

stuckels Depends on what you think is "fast". The Bugatti has the highest topspeed, thats right. But there a lots of cars that are faster around a racetrack. And this is what i call fast: Best lap time on Nürburgring for instans. (sorry for my poor english, i try my best :P )

The Bugatti Veyron SS is the fastest road legal production car in the world. It maxed out at 267mph, went 0-62 in 2.5 seconds, making it the fastest accelerating car also. To top it off, it's the most expensive street legal production car, costing a lovely 2,400,000 USD

@alphamone 13 лет назад

@lanccnal especialy since most of the cars that go faster tend to get their power from things like jet or rocket power, as direct power from the engine to the wheels can only get you going so fast before the strains on the components require tolerences so fine that the wear from one high speeed run would probably make a second run difficult.

@azua1021 the top speed of an F1 car doesn't really depend on the longest straight in the race. it depends on the adjustment of the wings. at monza where they use very little downforce the cars top speed easily reaches speeds over 350 km/h.

@BlueAvenue22 non metric type of measument . kilo (meaning 'hundred') metres. The metre is the foundation of this standard, Millimetres (1000th of a meter), centimetres(100th of a meter), metre, kilometres etc. a metre is approx 1.09361 yards. Its a more precise type of measurement used for scientific fields than a mile or yard. units of 10/100/1000 etc.

@Schmitti1982 That's design sacrificed for performance: Notice its shape - it looks like a drop of water or a profile of airplane wing. These shapes have the best possible balistic coefficient, so the least possible drag, and that's important goal if you have the ambition to go over 400 km/h. About speed and power, you are probably right, but that is not the way rich people think - what is important for them is pure extravagance, which this car has.
