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

This version of the car isn't the fastest car in history. The 919 Evo is.

I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who hated these slo-mos Everytime I wanted to see how fast the car actually looked...

the engine sounded like it creeping acceleration 1mph at a time

@@TennysonPesco It beat the 2017 F1 cars at Spa but after the 2018 race there, the F1 cars were quicker again. So not only is the 919 not the fastest racing car, the 919 Evo isn't the fastest car if you look at the times at Spa.

@@TennysonPesco your a putz

its hard to watch

@@2fast2nick not really, not for me

I have to disagree. Otherwise some of these shots would just be 45 - 100 seconds of Chris's face... I'll take the sexy slo mo thanks

I hate you to making this comment possible!!

Gideon Schwalbe You can literally hear him upshift and downshift through out the video and at one point he says he’s doing 185 mph which as far as I’m aware of you cannot achieve such speed in first gear

I made it 6 minutes. Editing is horrific. At some point someone will shoot it and i can enjoy watching it.

I concur !!

@@bryanshelf7567 Maybe someone will shoot it. And with it I mean the producer

Kimi,maybe you know something more than us!!But you never explain to us,why..!!!!

It's funny as hell.

I saw the complaints. Then I saw towards the end....ahhhhhh.

Lmao was thinking the same thing

I kinda liked it

Agreed. It was complete crap

Agreed. The editing just sort of, I don't know, not ruined it, but made it not as enjoyable as it seems that it could have been. I still enjoyed Chris' narration though. Sorta reminds me of the enthusiasm he had when driving the F40 and F50.

It looks fake when at full speed ! It is crazy fast!!

The only person remaining that still presents quality at BBC

Damn straight!

The government propaganda channel still has some decent content.

BBC should give Chris Harris top gear .all we need is chris , if it was only chris i might actually watch top gear again to be honest , any petrol head can see he is the man for the job

Yeah, hes a great vlogger

I watched that video. It’s unreal! I’ve driven the Nurburging, and have also watched many videos, with a variety of cars lapping the circuit. But the 919 video is on a totally different level. It really looks like the video is being shown in faster than normal speed, because I’ve NEVER seen a lap of the Nurburgring done so quickly. I think it reached 368 km/hr on the long straight! That’s faster than the top speed of an F1 car.

@@RbNetEngr It's absolutely absurd. The car had an average speed of 145.3 mph in that record-breaking lap. The first time I found out about it was after playing Forza 7. I took an Indy Car and after about 10 attempts (Plus about 200hrs playing the game) I finally got a sub 6 minute time. I was feeling pretty good about myself so I looked up what the top time on the Nordschleife was and saw the time the Porsche 919 Evo put down. Then I watched the video. It really was insane to see, especially after seeing how difficult it was just to break 6 minutes. I cannot imagine trying to do it in real life, I didn't have to deal with any of the bumps, or the G-Forces. Not to mention I wouldn't have the balls to drive a car like that on the limit. Truly amazing.

haha this is the perfect ad

Yeah- it's called incompetence...

So the whole video wouldn't be at the speed that you can hardly see the apex line or the car. i.e. @5:06

@@porschecollector727 ... Then do the video with a mazda mx-5, not one of the fastest cars on the planet. I don't care about no apex

@@rodrigo-tj1gf Huh? What's a good idea??? Maybe u replied to the wrong person?

@@diavolorosso69 hes talking about the editing

Unfortunately it has to appeal to the foolish majority, the ones that aren't interested in cars and just want to be entertained. I think Harris and MLB could have an hour long RU-vid program every now and then, just being themselves talking cars, driving, Motorsport etc.

Agreed! I hate scripted arguments

I don't watch Top Gear anymore, ONLY the Chris Harris Drives segments. Because Chris Harris Drives is BETTER.

Half of that was impossible to understand

TheScenick Top Gear became big because Clarkson, May and Hammond were let be themselves. Now the new trio is trying to be Clarkson, May and Hammon just to be similar to the original successful format. But that can only be done by the original trio, and they are doing it for Amazon now. So I agree, the new trio should be themselves, even if it means that Top Gear will be different than its first 20 seasons.

Especially with real time engine noise, that was weird...

So the whole video wouldn't be at the speed that you can hardly see the apex line or the car. i.e. @5:06

@@porschecollector727 in that case, you cut the engine track and just use background music.

They probably accidentally filmed in 60fps and had no other option but to make it slo mo lol

thedownshiftchannel nope this is about it!

Chris Harris is the best

Totally

Yeah Jeremy clarkson

Dude....the Aston Martin Valkyrie.....

The problem was overlaying the normal sound and Chris talking on top of it... and then cutting to shots of him accelerating out the corners when you can hear the car engine noise with Chris speaking AND the actual video shot engine noise of the car accelerating out the corner.

@@Richard_AKL still there must be better ways to edit the video.. like reducing the sound of the background when Chris is talking or to let him explaining things when he walk around the car

hahahaha slow down the sound hahahah

I thought exactly the same. Love this guy now

haha yeah, i didn't expect that 90s throwback, was a fun game

Yes he is! Glad there are a few folks still remembering this gem of a game.

I played that game to death back in the day, great memories.

It is how you date his childhood.

i was going to say awful the sound is going at 200mph and u watching the car going at 20 mph amazing car tho

Totally awful to see visuals that weren't at all in sync with the beautiful motor revving in all it's Glory. Should have just kept the dashcam. Opportunity missed.

So the whole video wouldn't be at the speed that you can hardly see the apex line or the car. i.e. @5:06

NDash On Cars ayyyyyyy

Chris on his own is more entertaining than an actual episode of the new trio imo.

I agree, they shouldn't just try and mimic the old cast

usually he be drifting in slow mo in like any other car

They probably don’t have much footage

@@stitcha123 So show the onboard shot of Harris talking instead.

@Lexus Troller he's from Britain obviously listen to his accent

@Lexus Troller What have you got against spelling?

Love these cars I’m a technician at Porsche motorsport so I’ve seen a few aswell as the carrera cup cars absolutely lovely to work on and diagnose everything is designed to be done quickly

And not just any four cylinder, but a V4! Honda would be proud. ❤️

Yeah. Insane. Apparently a tough configuration to build well.

We had a V4 Evinrude outboard engine on a powerboat in the early 90s and I love how much I can hear that old outboard in the Porsche 919 haha! Brings back childhood memories in the strangest way :)

@Josh Mkensie 🤔

12:14 should be "trailing throttle" too. Whoever did the subtitles should be severely disciplined!

Huge facts man! They do a great comedy show (which they are doing rn) But as an out and out car show, CH is so much superior of a host.

Not me cause the 919 evo dosent have headlights

Not true. The limiting factor is the tires and track.

Bahamuttiamat i dont really think the tires is a limiting factor when the car is super light , the grip is high and the only factor stopping the car from going at crazy speed around a corner is the nerve system of the human and fear ..

Not true. Your information is factually false. Tires have been and will always be the limiting factors. Aircraft pilots pull far more G's and they do it fine. Air races pull far more g's than an f1 driver, so no, the human body isn't the limiting factor.

Bahamuttiamat who said body ?? By human factor i meant the courage and reasonable judgment, when you try to jump of a high place you might think that jumping from first floor is easy , second floor you start questioning whether you are able to do it or not , third floor your brain will stop you because it believes its impossible even if in fact the harness and safety equipment might land you safely but reasonable judgment stops you .. The same goes with the car example .. the car might be able to take a corner at speed up to 80-90 mph and it will be its limit for grip , tires and traction , but the human judgement and courage will allow him to drive at 70 because that is the reasonable judgment, in this case the human is the limit .. unlike a racing driver who is trained for years and years and have the confidence to take the corner at much higher speeds where then the car starts to be the limiting factor .. Hope you got the idea .

You my friend, obviously don't know many race car drivers. They aren't wired like us. Fear isn't a thing for those guys. They get off pushing the limits. If the car can go that fast, there will always be those that will take it there. Your or I would be like " F that" but for them they get off on it. I mean, someone jumped from freaky space.... would you do that? Your limitation on your own survivability may not necessarily be shared with those mavericks

Even the car is making a turn at the redline LMAO

ALUSH Play k? Calm down

Most people don't know what this means. A Bugatti is 2,5 times heavier. Must be like tnt in the back when you push the pedal.
