Jaguar XKRR v Aston Martin DB7 | Top Gear 

v4r5k0v it's the 5.1 sorround to RU-vid stereo conversion

It isn't, it was the same on TV when it aired.

shatalg well no it isn’t

Others say he just hates the sound of the big, hammer-wielding baboon's voice...

Yea the music is sooo loud

As said, from the comments you read to copy and make your post... Its the music being dubbed out. BBC can play any copyrighted music it wants on TV, not youtube!

American?

I get that it's just a joke but turn the goddamn tv off you brainwash victim

Pol pot. Stalin. Mao

Really? Sadam Hussein drove a Grosser though...

LCardoso17 When you watch the show it's not like that. Old Top Gears on RU-vid have this awful sound editing for some strange reason. Almost as if BBC wants to punish us to watch for free.

LCardoso17 Some say he doesnt know what headphones are... Some say he is deaf... All we know - He is the SOUND EDITOR...

Marko Becić lol

+Marko Becić Don't be so harsh on deaf people. I know deaf people who cringe at this sound editing. :P

+katie_incredible Sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh on anyone, this should be just a joke... :)

it's a RU-vid conversion problem not the sound editor.

ok

+Lebiche I think that is what happens when you turn a 5.1 sound into a two-speaker output. Bogus.

TopGear has that sometimes

It's because the sound editor needs to remove the original copyrighted soundtrack in the background which muffs some of the voice and then he needs to replace it with a public domain track usually tuned more inappropriately for the clip then the original track.

+Robert Weber WHAT?!

+575forza im guessing you cant read? because what he said seemed pretty clear

+Shawn T. Helfrich you missed the joke entirely. He's saying WHAT? as if he can't hear what he's saying.

Top marks Nik

@@bond1011 are you stupid?

What about now

pprb123 damn, I was 20 when I made that comment, now I feel positively ancient!

@@TheClarksonFan yeah, you should Update it

@@TheClarksonFan how old are you now?

Mr_UoU as of Saturday I’m 28

It was in Johnny English registered 0Y02 USH

How's your Jag doing now?

LOL

Lmao

Then you proceed to burn out the clutch

MikeVonDoom yeah but the Vette did it in 6th.

wild bill 5th*

Bruh that's V12 torque. And that was only just over 400 hp. The vette C6 Z06 on the other hand 500 hp..... and its 7.0L of torque. He did the same in the Evo8 FQ400 and the giant turbo and small engine isn't really suitable for that kind of pull so it lagged heavily.

@@andrejkostovski5172 what's the episode?

GAY

Felice Graziano lets not act like that. We all know we love his voice

Felice Graziano u talking about urself there cherub?

Too bad we can’t hear it because of the sound editor being inept

V12 torque.

No LSD too. :( But the reason for no LSD I guess is really because the Jag devs knew the cars wouldn't really be pushed that hard anyway. But yes you're right I prefer the XKR than the outdated looking DB7 lol. XKR just is better in every way.

It was designed in the early 90s, before Ford took over, and their development budgets back then were tight, hence it had to use 20 year old underpinnings passed down from Jaguar.

DB7 is the most beautiful aston martin. New aston martins look like bloated crap next to this. DB11 for example, just a horrid rear end.

Nicolas Broszky opinions are like buttholes - everybody's got one. and yes, DB5 is indeed beautiful, certainly in the top 3. DB11 is still terrible. can't get past the awful rear end. the sides panels look like they were bent inwards in an accident, making the front wheels pop out a little bit.

detonator2112 Ford Mondeos and fiestas look like new astons now 😂. That DB7 is beautiful.

I like DB7 looks too

It's ugly compared to the db9

+Opius321 both ugly compared to the f type

Ik this is an old comment but XKR looks wayyy better than the dated DB7. If you check that most of the bits like the tailights and things on the DB7 are from old Mazdas. Besides an FD RX-7 looks better than a DB7.

It's all parental love

@@xcmledder3420 Not since the Orange buffoon exiled himself to Florida.

He sent to the Gulag

JPWRX_9786 i'm ok with that

If he was shot you still wouldn't hear it

For that matter Old Top Gear is your kind of Top Gear.

That's why I like the new top gear...

Crap music? Michael Nyman is an exquisite composer, mind you!

Don't even know if you still use this account because I'm replying to a 10 year old comment but thank you for naming that song.

agreed

+Ashley Dawson The Jag was good, but the Aston is better. Prettier, and 12 cylinders are always better than 8.

I like both. Like he said, it's basically a better version of the XJS. No other car looks more like a jag then an Aston.

+Richard Harrold That Aston is definitely not prettier than the Jag, in my opinion the old Aston design (Vanquish, DB7, etc) was hideous, the newer Vantage design was a lot better.

JotaPe679 Agreed. But the new vanquishes are arguably the best looking cars in the world

no

+10482021 080253 yes

Samlawts 1 no

10482021 080253 why not

+Samlawts 1 db7 gt was Astons Nurburgring champ like gt8 today. beauty.

He's just playing to the British market. After all, he loves this car. The company (and Jaguar) was essentially saved by Ford. Without their financial support, the DB7 wouldn't have made it. On top of that, this 6.0 v12 is basically two plain old Duratec 30 v6 engines (Taurus/Sable engine) that were built into one. The prototype was literally two blocks welded together with a custom machined crank (obviously production engines are a single cast but still share the same bore, stroke and spacing). So yeah...double Taurus power for the Astons!

94XJ It's actually two Cosworth V6s as found in the Scorpio 2.9, basically. Aston and Cosworth have developed it almost out of all recognition from this, and it's a bloody good engine. The first all-new Aston, the DB9, and its derivatives, were/are all built on an entirely British architecture in which Lotus is rumoured to have been heavily involved. John Egan was already doing a pretty decent job at Jaguar, and Aston Martin was doing OK with the Vantage, with the Jaguar-powered straight six supercharged DB7 nearly ready by the time Ford arrived. Ford then fouled up big time with Jaguar, nixing the XJ40 estate, then the straight six and V12 engines (when the V8 was nowhere near ready), the S-type was a flop, the X-type was just a disaster, and they killed off the 2001 F-type before it made production. Now yes, Ford brought money and modernised production, but in many respects, their tenure at Jaguar was one of colossal mismanagement.

WRONG! 94XJ was correct, the V12 used in the Aston is two Ford Duratec V6s together, it uses the Roller finger follower cyl head layout. It was penned at Dearborn USA. I worked for Premier Automotive Group. They should have used the Jaguar V6 cylinder head based architechture for the V12. Cosworth DID optimise the cams and ports of the Aston V12 later on. I was involved in the X600 F type and then they killed it off

MarquisRex Yeah, it uses the basic Ford architecture, but that's about all... the block is strengthened, the head was tweaked for improved breathing, and it uses different rods and pistons...

infamousDaRkNighT As an American I just find it funny. We laugh at all the weird things they do and say over there too aha.

aye in Wales an Scotland my grand parents had no nobody to review there cars lol that kinda complacency is why England will die alone while the rest of us rejoin the rest of the modern European world lol .enjoy ur UNICEF filed old age dont worry about not knowing what UNICEF is u will in time lol

Think this was from the earlier seasons when they didn't have the same budget.
