Ford GT40 CHALLENGE | Top Gear - Part 1 

+Eggly Bagelface that's what happens when you convert 5.1 (7.1) surround to stereo badly, you only get the center or front-l/r instead of a proper mixdown

some say he is deaf,and he was born withouth ears, all we know is, he is the top gear sound editor

+Eggly Bagelface The best comment ever.

Lel

Eggly Bagelface I'm a progressive, and I am offended by your accusation

Way to true

Whaaaat??

the actual full episodes are fine, it's these BBC clips that suck

Some say you should be thankful its even here, and if you don't like it then move on All i know is you should get over it

robben896 excuse me you dumb bloke. This video is uploaded by the actual BBC. Why the hell would they ruin their own video in order for you to buy the dvd?

Ha!

LucklessCope

Classic Clarkson!

Hammond had the last laugh though cos Jeremy bought one and we know how THAT turned out.

@@EfftupSmith i read more about it, he supposedly had those issues but loved the car, he may have sold it and bought it back or something

Was honestly shocking, I was expecting them to say inconjuction with McLaren, or Ferrari or something or some sort of European connection that would make the car "worthy."

That's because it's really a British car. The GT40 was developed by small British team that Ford hired at the time.

@@azizalharthi9631 Not even close. The original gt40, sure, but the one that won le Mans (GT40 Mk II) was largely redesigned by Ford, Shelby & co.

I honestly couldn't hear him thanks to the retarded sound editor

@@azizalharthi9631 Lola provided a beautiful but incompetent mule from which the GT40 evolved at the hands of Shelby, et al.

RU-vid problems, not the sound editor, god damn. Get a grip and at least pretend you typed some words into google to ask why it sounds like that.

It is a masterclass in timeless design.

+Gahlok12 Where did you hear him call it GT40? its just called GT

***** I don't know I thought that but I have idea.

+Gahlok12 Ford Actually wanted to name this car the GT40 for the sake of nostalgia. But another company owns the trademark GT40 now, and they wanted ford to pay 40 Million dollars for the right to use it. GT43 would probably also infringe on this copyright. You can see why the named it GT now.

Doctor Narfy Yeah I can see why

Technically it would make sense even other than the height. Becuase there was the gt70 and gt90 which could be considered gt41 and 42 respectively

You'd look like Frankenstein

you couldn't imagine it if it happened xD

cerealkiller

cerealkiller Let's just say Ford wouldn't be happy

It would look like " celebrity brain crash ", except it would be FUNNY ....

Nobody cares.

My taste in vehicles brought me here

it is literally one the most beautiful vehicles ever made

Me too I was in awe

BillyBob Keith Me too. I saw one a few months ago the 2005 version white with blue stripes.

+BillyBob Keith I've only seen 1 in person too but i saw one and it was cool. . .all cause the damn dog got out . . .thanks dog XD

That is still an achievement

Go to goodwood festival of speed, it's absolutely beautiful

a lot of british movies and tv shows are mixed to have the music too loud. i don't get it? sounds horrible

"GT has a completely different and extremely stronger aluminum block instead of iron." Aluminum blocks aren't stronger than iron blocks at all, let alone "extremely stronger." Aluminum is often used for high-performance engine blocks because it's much lighter than iron for a given volume and it's a better thermal conductor, not because it's stronger (engine block grade cast iron is _way_ stronger than any grade of aluminum alloy). Fortunately, engine blocks don't have to be made of a particularly strong material, because they are a non-moving, relatively unstressed part, though they do have to line the cylinder bores with iron sleeves.

Lol

bbc sucks

The original tv showings weren’t like this, the sound is problem in the RU-vid videos only.

@@Favled So do you.

@@jari56ify oof

+111danish111 You can see it now. Detroit Auto Show. Looks good; expect nothing at Le Mans for a year or two.

+111danish111 It doesn't look as half good as the original GT 40!

+Marin Angushev I saw it at Chicago Auto show . it was the best looking car there in my opinion.

111danish111 At the show - maybe... But put it next to a original GT 40,it's gonna fade \../,

off topic true that

You're not too familiar with the dreaded Top Gear sound guy, are you? Lol. He's very notorious. Watch the Koenigsegg video too.

In my headphones I can hear it's in mono instead of stereo. Uploader mistake. All the audio is jammed right down the middle. : p

dropkickproductiontx I don't know if you can see it, but I disliked your comment.

***** And why is that? heh

FORD GTR1

A Einstein That's not ford, its just a modified GT

gtaclevelandcity oh, my bad. i thought ford made that

***** it will be cheap too, compared to the others

They are working on all-new Ford GT now. I hope it helps.

ked4 Lol, and a lot more than that in other countries. The tech might be blue collar but not the price.

I think he called Ford blue collar.

Because the engine was taken from a Ford pickup truck. Pickup trucks are considered real work trucks here in the US. They are used by contractors from construction workers, to plumbers, to painters, to cleaners, to electricians.... and alot of other "blue collar" jobs that carry stuff needed to accomplish such jobs. So you can say that the heart of a blue collar workers truck is part of this car. A pride for blue collar folks like saying... "hey, that car has an engine that can be found in my truck!"

+Buster Dallas But a Ford lighting is not likely to be used for work. ..

+Fast Er for sure. not a whole lot blue collar with that price tag. and how the hell ford lightning and gt40 make it into the same sentence is comical. I haven't exactly done my homework on this one but I'm pretty confident that just because the same cookie cutter was used it doesn't mean the same cookies were made.

When Aston Martin made the DB9...

When they built the 1968 Charger huehuehue

in 1964, at the Nurburgring. The GT40's first race

When the 1950s tucker car was born.

When Aston made the DB7.

***** thank you sir, one of the few and the brave. You see the potential.

+Artur Bagiński A Nissan GTR R-35 with 545 HP AWD will destroy this thing, it will also destroy it in Fuel economy, and it destroys it in price, with the nissan being $100,000 in which you can use the money to bring the HP to 550 but why would anyone want to mess with the perfect 47/50 power to weight ratio of the nissan, that's like asking justin bieber to stop singing, it simply won't do it, and you know what else this car won't do (Ford GT40)? take corners like a proper supercar, which the nissan can do just dandy, so when you take these things into account, no it's not the most amazing car, it is the most wasteful, boring powerful car money can buy

+Artur Bagiński oh yes i forgot to mention the nissan has a V6 which makes it really good when it comes to humiliating V8's like these, it laughs when it hears a V8, and it can almost rival the 700 horsepower Lamborghinni aventador

+Artur Bagiński oh and i forgot to mention a nissan gtr r35 broke jeremy's neck, while he was testing it, and also he said it was the fastest road cornering car he's been in

+Ernesto Chang Nobody cares

@@girl-xk2db Well, I'm sorry for your short height. :D

John Zelcs You get it my friend!

Yep, the superchared SLR is amazing, it probably destroyed those American "muscle". NASCAR also using McLarens engine control unit.

John Zelcs The best American "Muscle" car is using European technology, even the American iconic race car NASCAR is using european technology. shame shame shame!

John Zelcs lol However, they're still miles behind. PDK vs manual......... Is like rocketship vs scooter.

ROCKETGUN BOOMBS What exactly is wrong with collaborating with other car companies? Most if not all big car companies have done collaborations with each other over the years that they have existed.

A muscle car that can turn

I guess you haven't seen him talk about the Corvette then

aviator1228 Because it isn't British. To quote Luco Munro, the wheels are German. And the brakes are Italian. And the gearbox is British, and the body is British, and the steering wrack is from an Aston Martin Vanquish.. and the chassis was set up by a couple of guys from Lotus. The GT is the best American car because it's as American, as the American national anthem, which is originally composed by a Brit.

You could hear him talk?

silverbird58 they are also worth 600K+

They are small

***** well Ford was king in the 60s race circuit. the C7 race team is the one winning the most races these days.

And give the GT launch control also!

ourworlds atwar yeah I was shocked too. but it just shows how unbiased they are. come on lets be real, an american car does drive good, but in terms of owning it. its a nightmare. we had 2 ford ranger and both had electrical problems right off the bat. they should focus more in making their cars reliable. they got the efficient part now, the driving, the power, a so-so styling. make the damn thing reliable and it will out sell a toyota for sure.

+MidnightFUn12 - Volkswagen is quite possibly the best European car today. I've been through 2 Jags and both were plagued with electrical problems. My sister bought a new BMW and around 6 months later, the battery cables overheated causing the battery itself to rupture and pretty much explode in its compartment in the trunk. I don't think poorly of all European cars, but they have their fair share of mechanical problems as well.

+Kevin Hodge Even with the emissions scandal?

i do agree, american and european cars have some very poor quality cars, i live in the philippines where it is hot and humid. all I'm saying is american cars have it going for them and they should step up their game even further in order to dominate the market. here in my country and probablu the whole world, japanese brand dominates the market in which we can all agree they do make good and reliable cars, but downsidde and the thing about japanese cars is that they make boring design and handling cars, only good cars with good handling and designs are the gt-r the honda's and mitsubishi evo in whcih it has now been discountinued. from all of the cars in japan only 3 or 5 cars are known as a good track cars. lexus lf is overpriced in my opinion and an ugly looking sports car.

+MidnightFUn12 he sold it years ago because he realised how unpractical the car actually is

why not the saleen or venom?

Reggie Coursey Being from an unknown country (Malaysia), my personal favourite American car is the new Ford Focus RS.

well, that´s more german than american

odorukaru I happened to be online when I got your reply. And I've got a wonderfull phone that let's me reply anywhere, anytime. Except on the job or while driving, I'll get in trouble for that.

lol no shit, i bet most people spend more on insurance then gas tho.

It's quite funny to read this comment knowing that the insurance rate on a GT is cheaper then most new much cheaper sports cars.

+Martin Obregon they stopped making blocks entirely out of cast iron like 30 years ago, all aluminum or with steel sleeves or whatever. I'm no car expert but i can tell you that much

Exactly, it's like comparing the 4.6L V8 you'd find in a Mustang GT to the aluminum block 32 Valve 4.6L V8 found in the Mustang Cobra. Just because they have the same displacement doesn't mean they're even remotely similar.

+Chayton Ruijsenaars all ford trucks with a v8 had iron blocks until the coyote 5.0l. (2011) unless you count a Lincoln aviator or some explorers. Mopar 5.7 hemi blocks are iron and about half of GM's current ls series of v8 blocks are iron. when I say iron I mean iron. a single casting that bolts screw into and the pistons ride on. no sleeves, no helicoils, one piece iron casting like they've been doing in Detroit since 1929. the 5.4l in the lightning and gt share crankshafts, a ton of ancillary hardware, primary camshaft drive (the dohc has secondary chains to drive the intake cams) the blocks are not interchangeable without some very slight modifications to either. you could take the dohc heads and bolt them to the iron block in the truck, there is enough factory hardware to get the swap to work. they are not identical, they are really similar. or like he said "pretty much exactly the same".

+Tim Bayliss "similar" and "exactly the same" are two totally different things. He said the block comes from the Ford Lightning, which it does not. They are different not only in build material but in design. The only reason parts interchange is because ford decided to do it that way to make it easier to retool their factory and produce multiple engine configurations. All modular engines have interchangeable components but that doesn't make them the same engine. Let me give you an example. The triton V10 modular components will also interchange with a 4.6L v8 2v modular. Does that mean the work truck V10 is the exact same engine as a mustang v8. Or "pretty much the exact same engine." as you put it. No....

+Chayton Ruijsenaars That is 100% incorrect!

Just saw the movie, it takes some liberties with the facts, but Damon and Bale turned in great performances. I didn't want the movie to end because I knew it would be with Ken Miles passing....

+CWINDOWSsystem32 I remember watching the full episode years ago and it didn't have this problem. Whoever condensed it to 6 minutes probably screwed it up.

It's RU-vid, you fuckstick. It's only a problem on RU-vid...goddamn bunch of idiots.
