Chris Harris On... The Mercedes-AMG One | Top Gear 

He made a shit ton before going to Top Gear, check it out 😎

When he started out with TG, it was like the powers at be wanted him to be Tiff and JC all in one. Somehow they let Monkey be himself and it is brilliant. Love his honesty, in a world of PC and ass kissing he is just brilliant.

You can catch him on Collecting Cars. TBH honest he's not even on there much these days and it's selling stuff way too rich for me. Great back catalogue of a podcast to go with the channel though.

@@rescyn1190 yeah, I miss the podcasts. Had some great guests on

💯

So true, I'm just still trying to figure out if he liked the car or not lol

He should go on a heavy diet though - Look at the body mass he has put on over these past few years. Doesn't look too healthy. Apart from that, his piece of mind is worth listening to.

@@team3383 Thanks for the advice Karen.

@@drewdoes5641 Aha. His bum chum I suppose ? Kindly tell him will you. Thanks.

Hagerty needs to make this happen^^

I’d subscribe

I imagine there would be alot of yelling and cursing and it would be awesome

I would still add Clarkson to that debate....

@@victorlgcarvalho to make weird sounds in the back?

Hagerty will snipe him eventually at this rate.

They don't want another Clarkson/Hammond/May situation

They won't because the BBC is really anti-car and against heterosexual white men. Its so piss poor woke nowadays, it's infuriating and insulting

@@R4M_Tommy you mean massive succes?

@@Zoldergamer Ha, yes. How terrible to make millions off new BBC Worldwide content :)

Yutaka Yamagishi and Top Gear make best automotive content on RU-vid. Period!

Together with Jason Cammisa!

@@BoyanDobrev he's a great writer and driver as well, yes.

All the talking over? Could not hear some of it due to that.

Basically like the team that uses the engine in the AMG One 😂

British conversations usually involve the listener saying “yeah yeah yeah yeah” the whole time while the other person is talking. You love that?

What????

Pls explain dear boy, one doesn't quite understand. More tea anybody?

You should be getting your government-issued unit in the mail in the next couple of never. 😅

@@WatanabeNoTsuna. thanks, Brexit

Still waiting for my allocation email too

It’s a single clutch XTRAC transmission, pretty outdated stuff.

@@taylo2079 For such car, it should have dual clutch.

@@farishanafiah8461 heavier and sounds like with torque fill theres no need

@@farishanafiah8461 its an F1 box, f1 cars dont use a dual clutch

@@farishanafiah8461 dct wouldn't fit. its too big and heavy

Love seeing Tiff absolutely wring a cars neck

Some of the best movies were a nightmare to film in much the same way.

it would be more impressive if they'd actually delivered, though, rather than being only ~14sec faster than a GT3RS with less than half the power, no turbo torque, half the driven wheels and no hybrid torque-fill

@@jsleeio conditions were definitely not optimal. A lap in the summer would see some big gains, they only had four runs at it!

@@jsleeio You're forgetting the AMG One did it's lap in winter, in poor conditions with the track damp in some areas and on I believe Kesselchen corner about 3:15 into the official RU-vid Video lap record, it had to lift because there was mud on the circuit from 250kph to 200kph, normally that's a flat out corner especially in that car. So no, your opinion is wrong, the fact it was 14s quicker than GT3RS in those conditions is insane, and if they did a dry run no doubt it's got another 10s on the board, with ease.

Pretty sure the T.50 wouldn't be far off in a ring lap despite not being a hotlap focused car, the T.50S would murder the AMG One, of that I'm sure

@@v0ldy54 are u serious🤦🏿‍♂️

@@v0ldy54 the AMG one has significantly underrated downforce levels wayyy more power it's heavier yes but has more advanced suspension and electric boost the GMA won't even beat a gt2rs

​@@lovelehstuff the AMG One was said having 700ish kg of downforce (they referred to "half the car weight" at a time when the claimed weight was 1400kg, so maybe it's actually 850 considering the real weigth), which is really not that much for a car that heavy (1700kg). The standard T.50 already has a better power/weight ratio than the AMG1 (plus even considering poower alone it's not that far off, especially once the electrics run out on the One) and probably a batter downforce/weight ratio too, however it's still made to be an actually usable road car unlike the 1 so it might not be enough to beat it on a track (but it surely wouldn't be far off on specs alone). T.50s is a different animal, it's even lighter (852kgs is just INSANE), slightly more powerful (with 725hp it's LMP2 power/weight territory) and with tons more downforce. They said (and considering Murray's LITERAL track record I believe them) they actually LIMITED the peak downforce to about 1500kg, and with a huge aero efficiency being a fan car. You know what that means? That it can corner at 2.5g, there is just no way the AMG One is faster than that thing, even actual GT3 race cars wouldn't be able to compete with it in any aspect.

1. Sound better = cooler 2. Last longer more reliable 3. Bigger is better (more cylinder bigger higher rev) 4. Usable, drive to racetrack drave back home no problem(NSX DNA). 5. Fan = more down force

Collecting cars my friend.

Valkyrie is going to blow away this 1700kg mercedes.

Just get Rimac Nevera if you don't care about weight and sound.

The real question is *how long will it stay up?*

@@rahulsudhir666 The Huayra R might get a Nord lap attempt before the Valk and an upgraded GT2 RS will likely release somewhere in 2026 from what I've heard.

@@rahulsudhir666 I don't know if the Huayra R lap will be below 6:35. It'll likely be faster than the Zonda R but 6:35>= seems like a stretch so far.

@@PerSon-xg3zr That would be really interestin to see. They're very very close in their power to weight numbers but the Huayra R also achieves a bit more downforce than the Zonda R. But since it has active aero compared to the Zonda's fixed aero elements, I assume it'll translate to better aero management which results in better n faster cornering speeds. The difference between the normal GT2 RS vs the MR is a good case to consider how much aero can make a difference (Yes, I know the MR kit also includes upgraded suspension n other bits). I hope Horacio sends one out around the Ring soon.

1000hp car with F1 engine, carbon tub, crazy active aero, and went only 8 seconds faster than a 911 with wing on the back around the ring... If anything it's a shame it didn't go any quicker.

It has 4 electric motors

It's still way too early to claim victory. Do keep in mind that this was still a factory prototype and we're yet to see how it fares in the real world. I'm not questioning or sidelining the achievements of the team at AMG, not for one second, but how such a highly strung machine stays relatively reliable is something we'll have to wait n see. Mercedes themselves have been quite unsure of the feasibility n reliability of the engine and is why they repeatedly sent out feelers out to and even flied in those who put down deposits to ask them if they would opt any other powerhouse instead. I believe they were given V12 n V8 options as well. That's also the reason why they ended up with quite a few cancellations. The fact that they informed US buyers at the last minute that it can only be used under _show and display_ led to further cancellations.

200k/4680/3800lbs Roadster = GAME OVER ⚡🔥🚀🇺🇲

To shame? 1000hp car with F1 engine, carbon tub, crazy active aero, and went only 8 seconds faster than a 911 with wing on the back around the ring... If anything it's a shame it didn't go any quicker.

@@weed46 It could have been more than 8s if the conditions were similar to when Porsche lapped in 2021.

@@weed46 wipe those tears, salty porsche fan

Reddit: too slow, a failure, too heavy. AMG ONE: well I just got done setting a lap record on several extremely prominent tracks

Engine not sound

F50 was a terrible car and if you can afford 2.7 million usd for a car than 900k doesn't seem like a problem

The F50 is a great car, but still not many reviews on it. All these years later.

The f50 hasn't really got an F1 engine. They changed the capacity, revs etc...

rather than tens of millions of dollars on rebuilding the engines f1 race cars, i'll take the $900k

It won't, doesn't have a racing history, that's what sets these cars apart. This AMG-One might though since it has a historic racing history, 7 consecutive championship in a row, more than any team in history

@@CanyonsCarver RIP F50 GT. One of the greatest race cars that never got to race

It won't, the F1 is three times as rare and has more Motorsport pedigree. Especially the F1 LM

​@@richboy900True, but the F1 doesn't have a prancing horse, and wasn't built by the most recognised, most famous car brand of them all. Oh, and it has a plain BMW V12, not a Formula One derived engine. As a pure, unfiltered driving experience, the F50 is the one to have.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie says hello

@@michaeltrumph121 Aston Martin Valkyrie is "the last of the v12s" for about 15 years of the lasts of the v12s but the AMG one is a totally different sort of beast I brings something unique to the streets

@@michaeltrumph121 I bet you didn't hear anything Chris Harris said. Chris as one of the car Gods said he couldn't make out the mechanicals he was hearing driving the One. Well that's because it is pretty much a road legal F1 car, put Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg in there! I bet you they would know exactly what they are hearing, there is a lot more than driving a beast like this, the emotions and the sound is something that cannot be duplicated. The Valkyrie is a masterpiece, but no matter how much power or whatever you do to it, it will NEVER EVER have the uniqueness of the Mercedes-AMG-One. If you don't get that you are not a car guy.

@@lovelehstuff The Valkyrie looks and sounds a million times better. This AMG One has a garbage engine inside it.

@@CanyonsCarver The Valkyrie is superior to this garbage in every way. It has a proper supercar engine, an NA V12, not a garbage vacuum cleaner like the AMG One. A 1.6 litre turbo ?! I'd be ashamed to even tell someone if my supercar had that engine inside it. It's puny and sounds like shit compared to a NA V12.

Don’t even joke. Can’t stand the smug so and so.

Woopo

With the lisp.. 🥴

😁

Showing off your car collection is usually better than storing it away from pyring eyes, but that guy does it with such a smugness that is unbearable!

It is not that quite on the outside, trust me you can hear it coming and it sounds nice, just not super loud

Is not about how loud, LFA it self not louder than 911 gt3 RS. It's about the sound it plays.

That's what I said, Chris cuts everyone off, even the head of GT at Porsche. This man is brute.

No st goarge flag thanktou
