Having a driver on a car show who can actually drive (apart from the stig) is a plus in my book, and I can't blame the BBC for making such a successful franchise international. I've watched every episode of Top Gear UK and USA and I enjoyed every episode, after all, its all about the cars
It's a great piece, and the editing is brilliant too. There's no need to instantly hit the dislike button for Top Gear US these days. It seems to be pretty good. From an Englander
personally, i prefer UK version 10 times more, but this guy is great, i really like him, and i really like the review of the car, what a beast ! its my favourite, no doubt about that !
Wait if you pay the government to block off PUBLIC streets you can race and do burnouts, but if I do it in a PRIVATE parking lot it's a disturbance and ruining the asphalt.
Triple259772 If you get permits, you can do anything. And is it YOUR private parking lot? Do you have permission to be there? If the answer is no to either of those, then yes, you are a disturbance.
I'm too young right now to go to college, but when I do im going to work hard for a good job, my dream is to collect cars and have a 1 mile stage strip on my property :) and race my own cars in my "backyard"
Martin Taber Propably a 2500hp chevy truck would smoke a 599 gtb on 1/4mile drag race but who cares.Nothing it's like a handbuilt naturally aspirated ferrari engine and it looks so beautifull.You must be really in love to these cars to prefer them.
Guy Fawkes hahaha I want to see a stock cadillac beating a 599 in the quarter mile hahahaha sounds too funny its imposible. maybe if the ferrari catch fire but that is another history
I'll admit that I'm not much of a TG-USA fan but even I have to admit that this video was really cool. Living in LA and driving every single one of those streets shown in the video morning, afternoon, and night, it's one hell of a trip to watch. The city at really late at night is a beautiful place to drive, apart from the occasional pot hole. But if you know the road, it's a peaceful drive and it's actually really quiet. Bravo.
DAMMMMM.....What a BEAST, this is why I love Porsche cars & why I'm never getting rid of my 911 ( mines not a 997 GT2 RS though :( Best Porsche clip on you tube so far for 2015 !
Great Job Tanner! Nice to see proper commentary, and tastefully produced content! Antics are one thing, but doing it with style takes skills and talent. Top Gear USA seems to finally have found that class!
I think that may have been the best TGUS segment I've ever seen. When he released the kraken on the streets of L.A., I literally got chills. Great buildup of tension and expectation. The epic car being driven didn't hurt, either. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
two different types of cars, lambo make cars for posers, as much as posers own 911's, they still engineered to be great drivers cars like ferraris but lambo is for posers, I'm not saying I would say to no to a lambo helllll noo
oh lambo's are for posers ? how so. Look at you, you idiot fan-boy saying Lamborghini is for posers. Oh and people who say Lambo instead of Lamborghini are posers.
so you're not a fanboy with your comment? lol. Lambo is far easier to type and spell wrong the Lamborghini I can't be bothered with grammar nazi's but to the point. Lamborghini has always made cars for the road. Ferruccio Lamborghini was always against racing, their engineers built race spec cars in secret but under Ferruccio's control they never got the green light for it. So one it has no history. Ferrari on the other hand was only made to fund Enzo's racing team and they are still to date the most successful F1 team. Now excluding racing history and pedigree, if you look at the cars, the Ferrari has always produced more bhp litre, f430 vs gallardo, 458 vs hurracan, bhp per litre the Ferrari has more and now the Lambo is 4WD, people that like to drive don't want 4WD, the 4WD is there for safety and not speed, if it was for speed then why doesn't the P1 or LaFerrari have 4WD? because the 4WD is there so posers don't die. And when Mclaren, Ferrari and Porsche released the P1, LaFerrari and 918 spyder, Lambo was there with that stupid Venono which is just an aventador with kit on. After saying all of this I would still love to own a lambo, they still are great cars and an amazing experience but if you want go fast around a track or really enjoy your favourite driving road, you want the Ferrari or a Porsche GT2/GT3
Daniel Gomes the new gt2 just set the record on the nurburgring. I agree that the likes of lamborghini and ferrari are for posers. Porsche is more a car for the driver.
and what Porsche and GTR good at is letting u enjoy there advantage without getting a ticket, which is accelerate from 0-speed limit quicker than other competitors, who care rolling start in front of police
Instead of ranting on about how great the Top Gear U.K version is better or not.. I'm going to say that is an amazing looking car. So simple & clean.. nothing too fancy but you know it's not just an ordinary Porsche.. and the performance is awesome.
Another video proving the Porsche 911 is THEE Greatest sports car ever made. I speak from experience,once you drive a 911 (of any vintage) EVERYTHING else pales in comparison.The 911 makes you feel like you're part of the machine,not just driving a "car". It's a fighter jet without wings. :-)
+Alex Zevallos no they aren't the same. They are both owned by the BBC, but there is no way that anyone works on two big shows at the same time. Especially when they are in different continents.
I am fan of the UK Top Gear and I dont like very much USA top gear, but this part was actually quite good, TG USA is definitely improving. Keep it up :).
I think TopGear USA is improving. We cannot compare USA between UK version. UK TopGear is a comedy car show where the trio go pissed off the world as part of the humor. In USA where everybody is kicking arses with law and bullets, its good to have a car show without offending others. I do enjoy TopGear UK n USA now. Good job to TopGear !
when i first seen this car, i fell in love, sure the newer porsches are cool, but this thing is a beast all of its own, its probably the best looking generation of 911 too
I love Top Gear USA as they really go out of their way to make the show as good as the Original and even if the presenters don't have the same chemistry as the UK trio, they are still three guys that love cars and thats whats most important.
It is awesome seeing how natural Tanner's starting to become when it comes to reviewing cars. He might actually have a pretty bright feature in this media. I have to say the other two guys just don't cut it. A comediant not many people have heard of (and I still find it hard to believe he's a comediant - Tanner's funnier than him just being himself), and another comediant that NOBODY has ever heard of.
Best auto maker in the world. Reliability, performance, elegance, refinement, resale value, tunable, and customizable. Tanner should of opted for the even more rare GT3 RS 4.0 For all the haters, the turbo S is one of the quickest to 60, right up there with Bugatti and the GTR
As Able said, this is the real Top Gear as its made by BBC America just like the Australian version is done by BBC Australia. They are legitimate shows just more aimed at the countries they come from.
Don't really care or surprised the Porsche did what it did. What does surprise me is that was the first good American top gear clip I've seen in this history. Who knows might be some hope yet for the Americans.
This car is pretty goddam sweet looking, the color scheme with the gloss red paint job and an anthracite hood(is that anthracite, whatever it is it's superb) is gorgeous. Plus I always feel that a Porsche looks like a life sized RC car which makes it the neatest car for my eyes to look at, of course I can't afford one and I have never driven one but the looks of this car are fantastic!
