The AMAZING Porsche 919 Hybrid | Chris Harris Drives | Top Gear 

The slow motion video with the real time audio is ridiculous. LOL

Well done the editors, they managed to make the fastest racing car in history, look slow.

Please dont intersect slow mo footage with high rpm sounds... terrible

13:32 this is the worst video editing in the history of video editing

The car and Chris is cool and all... But WHO EDITED THIS VIDEO?! Let us enjoy the 919 in full speed, don't show long shots of slow-motion with normal audio playing in the background, it drives me nuts

I'm so glad BBC gives Chris the opportunity to continue making this content.

The shot at 7:03 really gives you an impression of how fast this car accelerates....suddenly the world goes into warp speed, as soon as he finishes the corner. Absolutely incredible!

To get a good impression of the speed of the Porsche 919, we have filmed it whilst doing the lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife! I can't place a link here because the comment would be seen as spam, but you can easily find it at our page ;)

is there a reason the video is edited so that the car looks like it's going 5 mph on the corners?

Come on video team! Why would you do a slow-mo of that thing, in every turn?! It looks waaaaay better on “normal” speed.

Chris Harris on point as usual. The editing team however were not. One of the words fastest cars...in slow-mo. Good job.

It kinda ruins the narrative when the he's describing how incredibly fast the car is while the editing makes it appear its going at a crawl.

This is how I prefer Chris Harris. If he was allowed to be himself on Top Gear more, the show would be better off. Instead of writing for him like James May, but can slide…

Is there anything better than this? Chris Harris behind the wheel of the ultimate Porsche

worst editing award 2019

The slow motion effect is rubbish and totally unnecessary 😒 they should slow down the sound as well

Of all the racing games, Chris chose ToCA 2.... What a legend!

Those slow mo shots are ruining the hype while watching... you are hearing the car going nuts but it’s going super slow like wth

The insane amount of slow motion use is driving me nuts. Lets see the insane speed it carries through turns instead of this montage style stuff...

The bbc really should let this guy take the helm more often. I’d love if top gear had significant amounts of time spent dedicated to dorking out on serious race car engineering and what it results in and Chris is the perfect guy for it, bloody marvellous. Thank you Chris.

Extensive use of slow motion was a massive disaster for this video....sadly

What a great video Chris! There aren't many videos that describe the pure feeling of driving a modern Le Mans car, and to have this masterpiece of a video, Thank you so much!

5:09 "IM DOING 180MPH!" **slow mo makes car look like it's going 12mph**

You can see how the 918 road car is a mini version of this and how they were devolped together. Both 4 wheel drive. Both hybrid system with electric power to the front. The engines are the same just that the 918 has two of them (2.0L V4 x2 = 4.0L V8). Just that the 918 is tuned down to last more than 24H haha. Incredible.

Top Gear needs to fire whoever is editing these videos. Please have a professional editing team who knows what they’re doing.. please and thank you.

First top gear clip I've seen since the new cast. If it was just this guy it would be great. Chris Harris is a cool guy and he doesn't try to be anyone from the old cast.

Just amazing....thanks for making this Chris and team!

Wow, love this review by Chris. No nonsense and so pure, he really is great at these type of reviews.

Extremely disconcerting how the audio is loud and flat-out screaming while completely unconnected, pleasant B-roll is playing.

I didn't know I needed this is my life. I love that it's 4 cylinder.

Too many slow motion clips , let’s just see it flat out . Top gear editors at work again

This is great to see. There's no better car content available right now. Keep up the great work.

Favourite car journo in my favourite racing car of all time... lovely jubbly.

Love Chris but the editing in this video SUCKS! Mostly long slo-mo shots. YYY?

FIRE THE MAN WHO EDITED THIS THING. FOR GOD SAKE, HOW DO MAKE THE LITERALLY FASTEST CAR ON EARTH LOOK SLOW LIKE A GOD DAMN BICYCLE?!

Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Amazing footage!

Editor sucks We don't a slow motion view with fast acceleration audio It'll be better to use a different audio in slow motion

Who was kind of expecting a 919 evo even after watching the thumbnail?

As a Race Marshal I had the Honor of not only seeing but touching this Beast of a machine when the WEC came to COTA in Texas, all the P1 cars at that time were Incredible, but this thing was on a whole different level, the Race Director at the time for WEC when talking to the Marshals at our briefing told us these were not cars as we knew them, they were in fact Laboratories on wheels, that was an understatement...at our 6 Hr endurance race, into the night was something I will never forget, Natural Gas colored blue header flames about 15 inches long, on every gear change was an Incredible Explosion from the exhaust, brake rotors turning a translucent orange on braking at 1000C. Mark Webber could Blow all 4 times Off the car, up in smoke at 150mph if he deployed all the power on our back stretch. Ashamed the FIA outlawed these cars, Sadly I am afraid F1 is on the way to being a Spec Class, give them fuel and let the technology go! Like these cars were, F1 is supposed to be the Cutting Edge of Motor Racing

This is what the public wants to see, hear, but mostly feel. I'm certain that it is not just me. This is quality content; not too technical for the greater good and, most of all, it hands over this feeling. What a way to deliver this experience, with much focus on the feeling of the car. Well done, Chris. Beside this, Neel Jani is such a passionate driver. If I wasn't already in love with this 919, I would madly be now. Rush!

I like the way top gear heading right now. They use their BBC power and privileges to get the access to do these kinda exclusive car review that no other car show could do. Yes, clarkson, hammond and may is all about fun and comedy, and we love three of them, they are irreplaceable, no one can fill the shoes they left. but this new direction top gear heading is so refreshing for this show/brand. Also chris harris is the perfect person to do it, he had all the experiences driving racing car and even compete in endurance series, so he is an adequate person to do this drive

It was always fun to see Tiff or Plato race, but Chris…the passion, the knowledge the pure excitement all of it transpire through the video. Great job!!!!

Yup, no christmas bonus to the editor for that excessive use of slow mo. Solid F

What a machine! Great Drive Harris! Thank you for sharing this!

5:07 subtitle should read “it’s up to *v* max”

this is great - but i'm getting no sense of the drama and g-forces because of the constant slo-mo

I've been waiting for this video with Chris and the legendary 919 forever!!

Amazing video. Best Porsche 919 video on you tube for sure. Good job editors.

Haven't watched a minute yet and had to click that like button! Chris Harris + Porsche is the best combo ;)

Its really amazing how we reached an age an era where the limiting factor is the human not the machine ! I remember driving a GT3 RS in BIC in a porsche event and i was amazed at how well the car handles and corners and no matter how hard you push it you are still far from the limits ..

One of the best videos on youtube. Thank you Chris Harris.

Thank you thank you for this most exhilarating video!! Absolutely amazing!

The engine sounds not being linked with the images are really annoying

thats more like it guys, feels like a proper CHoC vid, bravo.

This is all top gear needs to be. Nothing more. No gimmicks. No celebrity presenters. Just Chris Harris and an awesome car.

If Top Gear was actually like this I would start watching it again. Well done Chris, great vid

Watching it belt around Laguna Seca at Rennsport was awe inspiring. Huge speed, effortless. But didn't break a record....but I think that was intentional. The combo of the three sectors SMASHED the record.

who the hell edited this , red line with voice over and car drive by is doing about 20mph? who thought that would be a good idea. 5:48

Regardless of the unfortunate editing, this is what the new UK Top Gear should be, just serious auto journalism. Would be great if it was hosted by Chris Harris, Tiff Needel, and Walter Röhl...

I saw it win in 2015 at Lemans. Awesome machine. Good video

Epic Driver and car journalist, Epic car ... BUT the editing :(. OMG how many slo-mo shots of the car combined with the engine going flat out - made it very hard to watch. Please please re-edit this properly and it will become a legendary video.

"You as a person are the limit, not the machine" - very wise words

Such a lovely video! The best of porsche engineering + Chris Harris = best video to watch

This is the best Chris Harris and this care is just magical. Thanks for making this.

Look everybody, look at what my mega HD cameras can pick up, if you look closely you’ll notice a leaf being wafted across the track by the gentle breeze, I’ve slowed the footage down so you can focus on what my cameras are capable of, the aim of this piece was to demonstrate how fancy our new cameras are, you really get to appreciate how amazing our editing is AND you get to see what you licence fee is paying for. Yeah there’s a car that gets in the way every now and again but that’s totally secondary to MY toys and MY editing. This is about ME not that bloody Porsche that was on the circuit.

1200 HP 800 KG 😳😳😳😳

This 919 is what the future of all cars should feel like. Excellent video! Smashing the thumbs up now!

Amazing car. Thanks for sharing this drive, and detailed look at the car.

New Top Gear isn't very good but this guy, this guy I like 👍

That turn at 5:40 is incredible. More real-time footage would've made this even better

12:32.....my God, so much aerodynamic grip. Chris, my friend, you done it again great video and awesome car

Chris Harris is my favorite car reviewer - enthusiasm without hyperbole. For many other reviewers - some I like a lot - every car they drive is the best car they have ever driven.

The editing of the video is done sooo wrong....slow motions was not at all needed....the actual footage had been better like the rest of the videos

“The person is the limit, not the machine”

The sound is SAVAGE and the sound of turbo makes it very bold.

Great to see Harris in his element...excellent video

Great video but the slow-mo scenes are just executed weirdly. There's too many of them and they make the car look like it's doing 20km/h instead of being an obvious slow-mo effect.

great video but the EDITING lol why the slo mo?

Amazing as always with Chris , Chris you are the top

There is only one Chris Harris, what an awesome machine - thanks for taking us along for the ride..

the slow motion shots are awfull to look at

Amazing. The slow-motion editing is jarring, especially since the audio is at normal speed. In an odd way, it made me feel slightly ill.

A truly awe inspiring masterpiece!

What a beautiful symphony of front drive and rear drive beautiful harmony amazing genius...

Wow, this is super Porsche 😮😍🙌🙌❤❤👍👍😎

I’m thinking of buying it as my first car I’ll never be late for college again

That car is mental! Wow! And Chris Harris behind the wheel ensures a quality review. Great video.

That looked like a lot of fun. I am glad, to see Chris enjoyed the drive. (:

The worst bit of sound editing ever 12:35 Flat out for 45 seconds... Honestly??

The editors are stupidly amateur they managed to make the fastest racing car in history, look slow.

So so good to watch Chris in this environment. I could watch him in a race car all day. he needs to drive in the top class at Le mans

That thing is glued to the track!

Great film but why, when Chris is giving it the full beans on slicks, are we getting all the slo-mo shots?

actually in 2018 the f1 cars in Q2 did a lap faster than the evo (please stop telling that the evo is faster than a f1)

The main thing I took from this is that Harris played TOCA 2 back in the 90s, great man!

Such honest excitement about cars - only presented by very few. We done CH!

The sound of half throttle all the time 😮

Shame about editing* - Goosebumps, love when they went Nürburgring and Spa with it, mental.

Chris is the best thing to happen to Top Gear for 30 years

what an awesome film, takes me back to when it was just you and Niel....very high quality production...
