[@egg0534]

@@wko4597 Nobody wants to speak French tho, plus English is obviously more important

[@rikavid]

@@egg0534 English is more important because the americans have a lot of geopolitical influence, but before the beginning of the pax americana age, french was as important as english and it was used a lot more (still is) than it in treaty signings, french was the de facto diplomatic language of the world. Not used as much nowadays but still relevant since french is spoken fluently by 270 million people worldwide and is recognized as an official language in 29 countries making it the 5th most spoken language in the world.

[@Butters_Stunts]

We just watched Richard Hammond drive very fast down a mountain without crashing and I think we should appreciate that

[@blueonblack83]

The skiier in orange -- Antoine Montant -- apparently died in a BASE jumping accident. RIP.

[@cyclemartin4073]

Wow, sad . But hardly surprising i thought lucky they didnt break their necks doing this stunt,. Us humans tend to forget that we are made of soft tissue over bone.

[@HyperHorse]

blueonblack83 Yeah well that's what you get for partaking in such risky activities.

[@dart2527]

Hyper Horse I wouldn't word it "that's what you get" that's kinda cruel to say to someone whose just trying to have fun. But more, "It's what you may face."

[@svenlima]

+Hyper Horse If you're able to handle a paraglider and a pair of ski it's not that difficult or risky ... not more risky and dangerous than fumbling on your car's radio while driving at 120 km/h

[@DemonAsh40]

Ricardo Rivas He was only 30

[@MILKWynn]

Well the driver would have won if he weren't lost but those guys are monsters in human form!!!Well done !!! RIP to Antonie Montant.....

[@hermandeperman]

The shot on 1:10 in combination with the music is just pure.genius. Amazing editing.

[@wwaxaww5090]

mgmt moment

[@WatchBOT]

Technically, that's not skiing, since they were in the air 75% of the time.

[@Klemhaken]

Anty Dough well what is it then? And tell me how it was possible to go down without parachutes?

[@WatchBOT]

Go on actual ski routes?

OMG I was there when they filmed it I was only 10 and I got my photo taken with Richard Hammond!!! I was staying in 1950 and I was getting the bread in the morning when I saw the film crew!!!!!!

[@SergeyPower]

i miss top gear come back soon please

[@massari4u]

I don't really fancy station wagons but this one has changed my mind. what a beautiful car.

[@joegaribaldiUK]

Been to Les Arc and Villaroger before, recognise all of the lifts and locations!

[@MyRandomLife247]

Hammond: "I got three options for the ride, sport, dynamic or James May" That made me lol so hard......

[@nova495]

So that RS6 had more power than Audi's now 2017 R8 V10 Plus which makes 540 hp which is also Audi's flagship high end car.

[@christiann6350]

nova495 Normal V10 makes 533. V10 Plus makes 600+ . Think it was 604 or 614 hp

[@Jaszczur-sp2tx]

nova495 R8 engine is n/a and this rs has turbos

[@ataysgrt2448]

Its way lighter

[@Lewismith3]

Yay! I've been to that ski station, it's really good, as is the Audi.

[@TheManLab7]

If I could only have one car. No matter how much it costs. It'd be this as it can do everything! A 5 seater, practical estate, supercar 😊😁

[@jasonwang508]

5:36 Am I the only one that notices 11 degrees Celsius??

[@Yurizen001]

very good job there in the subtitles.

[@patrickp9763]

That car is just WOW

[@scorpionc773]

The Engine is in the new Gallardo LP560-4. And the Press also says in a lot of test articles that the Engine IS a Lamborghini Engine. I think they used the V10 cause of the BMW M5 Saloon.

[@koolerthanapolarbear]

that color blue is gorgeous!!! 527hp isnt bad either =P

[@Glubok]

Yeah ! Antoine Montant rules !!

[@Waffleater1]

You know... to get the engine from a lamborghini into a car that practical and well appointed, I think this car actually makes a ton of sense!!

[@TheAudiA6Driver]

i love this care, can't even imagine driving it

[@costamiguel6788]

sou de portugal e so começei a ver a dias e adoro o programa e cada bomba

[@simix1000]

i would like to see jeremy make a video of this rs6 !!! i think that rs6 deserve a much more attention !!! respect BMW M5 but with this rs6 Audi create something new and its a masterpiece !!!

[@Leonis1989]

@Jolinator - Evidently not because if you reqest it Audi will change the limiter to stop at 170mph. But nonetheless, we know there are tires that can withstand 260mph so it shouldn't be too hard getting a set that can handle 200

[@GunsCigsAndBeer]

sports, dynamic and james may

[@nogodgiveslemons]

did you cut out most of richards drive or did you just get the short version???

[@yomama629]

@deloreanman14 you can just order one from Germany, of course you would have to get the speed indicator switched from km/h to mph though

The best was the Aston Martin race from London to Monaco

haha omg cool!! I was in Tignes when they were building the ramp for the mini that did a backflip XD it was super-sized!! love how they just go around in random places and build stuff and race people ^^

[@WatchingMamut]

wow, thanks

[@R6VIIshooter]

1 way to look at this car is an R8 V10 with 2 more seats and a bigger boot. they both do share the same 5.2 fsi V10

[@lPowDog74l]

Les Arcs, ça représente!

[@Authenticselections]

beautiful car

[@SpanishLMMD]

Bonne choice!

[@Jolinator]

@Leonis1989 because after 155mph, tyre degredation becomes a problem..

[@EccentricRichard]

@JonPWN1 - yeah, they're annoying, but something as big as KZbin doesn't pay for itself. What would you rather have - a 15-second ad before certain videos, or no KZbin?

[@Get4Instinct]

correction *310km/h and u put MTM filters and exhoust this car can pull 340kmh

[@OpCzar]

Didn't expect the parachutes!

[@someguy7629]

I did not expect them to cheat either and skip most of the mountain the way down.

[@thatoneguy9028]

I cant walk in ski boots and these guys are climbing in them 😂😂😂

[@SongSamples]

@JosephCote27 KZbin changed it, 5 months ago he was probably right but there is no way to skip them now.

[@drdude500]

that was the only RS6 you could buy at the time, the sedan version came out later

[@SRVMETAL]

fantastic car!

i love this guys french!

6:00 the guy in the Peugeot probably thinking wtf earthquake?

[@Prankcafe]

WHEN IS TOP GEAR SEASON 14 AIRING?

[@dunti21]

No, the V10 from the lambo is from this car :P

[@EccentricRichard]

@jamie123gers - most of it I have memorised. I know the M5 is the least spacious, the Merc the most, but I had to look up boot space figures (except I remembered reading that the Merc is about 1900 litres with the rear seats down).

[@jjhoops023]

u are correct sir

[@gabriell16bishop]

I wish auto manufacturers make a James May setting option in their cars.

[@SH1974]

They have a new engine... It's a register-turbocharged 5l V10 Diesel! That ebgine makes about 540 hp (okay, a bit less than this one) 1000Nm of torque already at 1500 RPM!! And this Diesel engine consumes way less than this one or any other engine above 500hp or above 600Nm. This new engine already drives the "Nanuk" prototype, shown on the IAA 2013. I hope this engine will be used also for other AUDI cars.

[@speedytomtom44]

Which one is faster, the BMW M6 or the RS6 Avant ??

[@tbrowniscool]

is that the v10 thats in the R8 V10? the 5.2fsi?

[@puremaplesyrup22]

200 MPH... in a wagon. God Damn I Love Audi.

[@citi0rhythm]

hm....interesting cause i can find multiple sources quote that its a detuned 5.2 v10 from LP560-4

[@MrGnarman]

anyone else catch the intro to "time to pretend" by MGMT starting at 0:55 ?

[@QLsk8er]

My mom crashed our RS6 which was an older model than Hammond's.

[@rammstein67350]

@theadizo yeah you can make a small 4 cylinders engine sounds like a big v8 with an exhaust.

[@BolFelix]

OMG I LOVE HIS FRENCH!!

[@hahstom]

@aztecpapi123 they did bro, not the 5.2, those were from the gallardo

[@billlandyay]

yes, everything they said was well translated

[@germanpuma]

Biturbo 5 liter V10 - gotta love Audi! :D

[@japanluv]

in Norway ,you earn for the same job,3 times more money than someone in Germany. Price new in Germanyor UK :probably 60 000 plus euros.Price in Norway:3 times more.I hope it makes sense now :) P.S.I love Bergen. You have a beautiful country.

[@Felix96xy]

Sport, Dynamic or James May. I'd take James May :D

[@noname-wb5cv]

But remember this car is a lot, lot (400kg) heavier than a M5 F10, it's also older and no M5 does 62mph in 3.7 seconds. RS6 C7 62mph in 3.6 seconds, and M5 F10 62mph in 4.1 seconds.

[@vukdjurovic4183]

hey new mercedes e63 amg wagon s does 62mph in 3.4 seconds.compete with that!!

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

Okay, I will. The new RS6 hit 60mph in 3.5 seconds. When tested in Germany, the E63 was slightly quicker than the RS6. However, when things got quicker, the Mercedes started to lose the race. I did lose the race. This was in rainy conditions so the RS6 did have an advantage, but for speed, it's best at 0-62mph. The Audi beats it for braking (only with ceramics), to. Bit the E63 is a really, really nice car and I am kind of biased about Audi vs BMW/Mercedes! Both cars are great though!

[@vukdjurovic4183]

Yes I agree with that!

[@leonandre8858]

3:27 when they have no idea what he's talking about but still go along with it

[@MissMercedes]

Why must there be a Forza 3 ad on EVERY Top Gear video? First they bother us with the Chevy Volt, now with Forza!

[@infiltrateassimilate]

@Veee8 wouldn't we call this a hatchback in canada? I never hear the term "wagon" here.

[@LUPENTV07]
