Bugatti Veyron & Zonda F: Stig Laps - Top Gear - BBC 

It’s a shame we’ll never see Jeremy put the Chiron on the board.

The sound the Zonda makes at 2:44 is absolutely biblical...

It's becuase the Veyron weighs as much as a mountain

2:45 that sound!

Anybody else noticed the damage on the Veyron on the right side? :) My guess is that would cost about the same as a nice hot hatchback!

The fact that the veyron was so fast around the track being that heavy is amazing

I was obsessed with the Bugatti veyron when I was a kid. When it didn't top the power board I cried for hours. I've just come back to watch it now and both of those cars are engineering marvels

"sounds like God's plumbing!" lol, what about those tires? They're screaming for mercy and they're just not getting it

Has anyone else notice that that Veyron has a big dent on the passenger side right below the door at 0:33 ?

This proves the Bugatti is not a track car. Its built to go fast in a straight line and have a huge top speed. It's too heavy to go around turns.

The sound of the Zonda, good god

Did anyone else notice that The Stig wasnt listening to the stereo when he did the laps? They were both road cars and they both do have stereos

I’d never heard James introduce The Stig before lol

i always knew the bugatti would be slow and weird around the corners. i mean, look at it. it looks so heavy and awkward.

Almost 10 years and it still never gets old. Fantastic car

Like a shark in a funny hat...

I love how the Zonda F sounds like an old f1 car at 2:45. That sound is amazing! :)

"This car can be vicious, but in an amusing way, like a shark in a funny hat!"

The veyron was never meant to be a track car, its the ultimate grand tourer. It shows that speed and comfort can go hand in hand.

We are in 2021 and this is still my favorite show!

its 2021 and still that Zonda looks as if it was made last year, what a spectacular design.

Not to stray too far from the subject of the cars, but did the Hamster comb his hair with an eggbeater?

0:32 damaged veyron at the side bottom

Don’t forget how tight a track they had there. Times would be much different around imola

What a car... Zonda F, the most beautiful machine ever. Art, indeed.

3:32 that powerslide!!

The Zonda as two sets of headlights. Each of them makes a face. Now that you've seen it, you can't unsee it ever again

Oh my GOD I love the Zonda. It's so ALIVE!!! And the Veyron is just insane! Such a solid, brilliant amazing piece of engineering.....any time I watch ANY video about the Zonda or Veyron I get chills and goosbumps and a stupid massive grin on my face!!!

"This car can be vicious, but in an amusing way like a shark in a funny hat" lol These guys are so funny !!

Wow, that Zonda sounds AMAZING

2:45 that screaming engine gives mee goosebumps

James:"Some say he has a stripey top just like mine" Richard: " Come one James. You really didn't fool anyone with that " lol!!!

2:25 Hammond sounded funny when he said "Chaps, The uh the Zonda F"

El Zonda tiene un sonido simplemente celestial! Y en manos de Stig es increible como se mueve...

Adding power will make you faster on a straight removing weight will make you faster everywhere. - Colin Chapman

Hmm, so the Zonda F with 4 less pistons, 2wd and a manual beat the mighty Veyron? Bigger isn't always better.

White Bugatti looks like a soap sliding in the racetrack.

3:00 Oh my that Pagani Zonda sounded gorgeously 😎😁👏👌👌

Bugatti: heavy turns Tires: D E M O N I C S C H R E E C H I N G

It's the first time I hear James said "Some say..." instead of Jeremy.

I love how the zonda sounds like an old f1 car! :)))

I miss this race track...!!! Great memories for us all to watch...!!! 😁👍📺📼

top gear cannot be the same without clarkson

2:08 The eagerness of the motoring world expressed by a girl, looking to see the laptime in Jeremy's hand, before he revealed it😃😃

I always thought that the Veyron is a bit too heavy to top the times. It's still impressively fast around a track as well as in straight line.

Worth pointing out that that this is only one of a few occasions where 2 featured cars in one episode had some sort of problem, no matter how big, going round the track. The Veyron with the right side slightly dented and the Zonda F Roadster with the engine smoke, then a few seasons later the Porsche 959 and the Ferrari F40 with mechanical issues. They both got a DNF and a DNS.

Ive watched this segment so many times since it first aired, the way that zonda sounds my god. And Hammond hamming it up lol

I'm glad the zonda was faster.

"Some say he has a stripy top, just like mine." hahahaha!

Such a memory! I was but a teenager then! 😍👏👏

2:08 Jeremy's face lool 🤣😅😂

I still prefer the McLaren F1. No forced induction and incredibly agile instead of built for raw speed. And I'm speaking as an American here. Then again, I'm also a fan of cars like the Toyota MR2 and Mazda RX-7 which (unlike the McLaren) I've driven and enjoyed the experience. On the other end of the spectrum, I took an '81 Buick Regal (I know. Shut up) with a 350 Olds Rocket engine out for a hot lap on Michigan Speedway (basically in my back yard) and pussed out when I hit 125 with pedal to spare because I didn't want to wreck, but that car was also fun to drive since I could feel the power and potential in the car while it did everything I asked of it. This comment is rambling a bit since I've been in the booze, so I apologize. But I very much prefer a fun car to drive over the fanciest cars and I get a kick out of pushing a car to its limits (within reason) and like well-rounded cars over brute force horsepower. I give bonus points for naturally-aspirated powerplants for the throttle response and overall feel (my daily driver has a turbocharged engine and I'm still working out the feel for when the turbo kicks in and it's a learning experience).

That Pagani is.... NICE!

I love James hosting 😂💙

whoa that ''air break'' feature is amazing. didn't even know the bugatti did that

Dear top gear. As an "average Joe" I do notice that old stig seemed to drive a lot better than new stig. Old stig doesn't hold drifts on the exits of the corner . but what I noticed is the fact that the new stig hold drifts about 50-80 ft when exiting corners which in essences slows down your lap time ... So as an enthusiasts I can't say the new lap times are not 100% accurate.... Hence we all know Ben collings is old stig.. Can you at least help new stig drive better

Nice drift around the final corner. The Zonda looks about twice as exciting to drive as the Veyron.

The traction of the veyron though, like a rock with a rocket at the back, np over/understeer, sliding, nothing, it just moves.

Top Gear will never be the same without these 3 ... A pitty,

both brilliant cars!

Id still rather have a Bugatti which you can actually have as a daily driver..those other cars are more or less street legal lap cars. Im betting the Bugatti is safer, more comfortable, and feels as nice going 65mph than the others...but then again thats not what the stig lap is about.

These 2 cars are just legendary

Wow this is great ! I was not able to decide myself about which one to buy... now I do !!

"Some say he has a stripy top, just like mine... " XD

Wonder if an F1 could do it in 60 seconds or less? :O

The Veyron lap was very neat and tidy, well done by the stig to manage all that power and weight

The Veyron was actually faster around the track than I expected. It's pretty heavy, and AWD + massive horsepower can only do so much - listen to those tires screech around every turn! _But_ what impressed me was how stable it was. That AWD earning its place in the car.

I remember when we thought the veyron was the be all, end all of hypercars, it used to be the ultimate car and the car you went to if you wanted speed, it was the trailblazer, the benchmark since then there have been faster cars and better but nothing has matched how monumental of an achievement it was since

1:07, SOUNDS LIKE GODS PLUMBING??!!!

So sad that Gumpert are bankrupt.

I love the Zonda. I will have one someday

That zonda is one of the best sounding cars ever.....

The stig has the greatest job in the world

The zonda sounds like pure sex 😍 hopefully they bring back the v12 in the future

Love the F1 sound also as much as I love Bugatti I'm as happy as Richard on this one

1:10 Maybe one day we will get the unedited footage of this part. The thing sure sounded good at this moment.

How do i get recommended a video of 11 years ago?

Cheetah beats Adder :)

But the thing is being in a Bugatti is safer and more luxurious because the armour and the weight of Bugatti is just strong

...Pagani....my new favorite car! Lol I always loved that car!! :)

btw the pagani huayra hold the current record.

Thats a sexy spoiler.

that is art

Still the best top gear of all time, miss these guys just doing their thing!

I love the Zonda and the F version (much cleaner front/rear fascias) is as good as it gets. Naturally aspirated, huge V12, manual gearbox. I love it. It's definitely got the right ingredients to be rewarding to drive, while the Veyron is rewarding to show off...not that the Zonda is particularly boring to look at.

The Veyron is a heavy, *HEAVY* boi that goes as fast as the speed of sound, the thing doesn’t turn at all

Love the damage to the sill panel on the veyron . How did that happen Brian ?!!!

0:59 look the spoiler is catching some flies

I'd like to see what a sierra cosworth would do.

I never noticed how much the Veyron under steered until now. still would buy a Veyron over the pagani if I could afford it though.

The GTR's time shows what a masterpiece of engineering it actually is because it's "only" got 560hp and it weighs 1.8 tons, but it handles so much better than most other cars and that's what is surprising to me. I wonder how they did that. I really respect that car, but my personal favorite is the Lexus LFA

الف تحية لكم يامقدمين برنامج توب كير وكل من شارك بأنتاج هذا البرنامج الجميل والهادف . واتنمى لكم المزيد من التقدم والتـلق . بس على كيفكم ويا ريتشارد لان مسكين ههههه

Wait, the Corvette Z06 beat the Zonda on the Nurburgring, am I wrong? if not, does that mean that the 'vette is faster on the track than the Veyron?

I would absolutely love to see a Hennessy Venom GT or an SSC Ultimate Aero TT on this track. Both with 1200+hp and around 2700 pounds. low, and wide. I'd be very curious as to what the "Stig" could do with these two cars around this track!?!?...

pagani responded to this, saying that they were on zonda r tires, but they were cut with tread, so they were street legal. They continue to say that they offer 3 different sets of tires, with varying compounds. theres an article on it if you go on jalopnik, give it a search.

I think Stig lived one of best moments of his life

1:36 I like the the sound, Do you?

Bugatti Veyron & Zonda R Tog Gear, please?? Regarding Pagani, anyone of you guys seen the Huayra? My God what a beautiful piece of enginering, almost bring tears to my eyes haha.. Everything in/outside is pure car porn.

Love the nose the Zonda f makes. Thus should of been the around of the Huayra.

If you think those are some fast times, I was very impressed and surprised with the Ferrari FSX. 1 minute 10 seconds. CRUSHED both of them
