[@godzioevo]

Hit the ham!

[@bh25jay]

There are 3 different settings on the suspention...sport,dynamic or...james may :-)))

[@ahmedsafwet8969]

god , that was hilarious

[@romelnegut2005]

[@emadnad33]

[@rhodesianwojak2095]

Lol

[@leonandre8858]

When hammond spoke french it was hilarious

[@wko4597]

People from two nations whose people are both too arrogant to learn any language beside their own

[@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.

[@Talon3000]

One of my lecturers at university has one of these. I usually aren't much of an audi fan but holy crap the envy.

6:32 40.3 liters/100km not bad not bad at all :D

[@bilotserkovmazexport2074]

Andrej Kostovski it’s momental while you accelerate.. on my car it can be even much more but the average is much less

[@arshoohanyan754]

What an eye haha.

[@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

[@hermandeperman]

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

[@wwaxaww5090]

mgmt moment

[@Butters_Stunts]

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

[@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.....

[@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?

[@rupertszymborski2159]

Watch BOT l

[@tonystephens4083]

You obviously haven't skied before

[@Minecraftrok999]

[@Pr0BySTandeRr]

Watching it in 2020...man!!! Bring these days back please

[@MyRandomLife247]

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

[@fnmVpJzWDU1]

"I'm not a petty man, but I sorta dislike them already."

[@ksomogyi]

Possible the world's greatest car. Love it!!!

[@ifyoureadthis1]

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!!!!!!

[@massari4u]

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

[@nastyrex4302]

0:53 That's the sound sample MGMT uses at the beginning of Time to Pretend

[@-kaster--kaster-6090]

Thought the same thing when I heard it

[@WorldofCars01]

I`m a bimmer guy, but hats off to the RS6 .. it's amazing!

[@SergeyPower]

i miss top gear come back soon please

[@joegaribaldiUK]

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

[@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

[@wingi91]

@@ataysgrt2448 also very likely more reliable.

[@CrazyWeeMonkey]

VAG (which includes Audi) is known to underrate their cars

[@ajanis3]

love when hammonds speaking french haha, thats a sick car also

[@akepot]

dang those skiers are badass, and so is that car!

[@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 😊😁

[@RoisinT2]

I have a dream..... someday, there is the day when i have my hands on on my dream car...

fantastic show brilliant show tracks why oh why top gear do you have to make the shows so addictive?

[@Lewismith3]

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

[@Yurizen001]

very good job there in the subtitles.

[@adnanalagic]

This car is in ultimate beast mode! What a beast of a car!

[@muhammadsalamat9831]

Hammond speaking French is like me singing in the washroom

[@patrickp9763]

That car is just WOW

[@TheAudiA6Driver]

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

[@ian1231100]

Clearly the BEST estate car ever :D

[@koolerthanapolarbear]

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

[@jasonwang508]

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

[@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.

[@Glubok]

Yeah ! Antoine Montant rules !!

[@thatoneguy9028]

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

[@Wildcard1992]

Good choice!

[@GunsCigsAndBeer]

sports, dynamic and james may

[@leonandre8858]

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

[@samcarman9709]

When this episode come out, this became my dream car. I was 7. Now I own one

[@adamxxvii2424]

40.3/100km thats good fuel consomption

[@musskeeterbump]

One badass wagon

[@OpCzar]

Didn't expect the parachutes!

[@someguy7629]

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

[@WatchingMamut]

wow, thanks

[@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!!

[@Authenticselections]

beautiful car

[@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

[@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 !!!

[@lPowDog74l]

Les Arcs, ça représente!

[@PrinceAlyL]

I love Topgear UK but i love Evo even More

[@BiggSteve777]

yes

[@SRVMETAL]

fantastic car!

[@SpanishLMMD]

Bonne choice!

[@mertinio]

yes i think it's the the gallardo engine, but it has 2 turbos added;)

[@SongSamples]

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

[@steamz99]

i love hammonds voice

[@carzrawesomeful]

"Sport, Dynamic, or James May." LOL

[@c32amgftw]

I wish they had them in the States

[@Real_MisterSir]

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 ^^

[@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

[@VitariusLaszlo]

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

[@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).

[@Mihalyofficial]

My God that rs6 is a beauty!

[@obi1kendobi]

What a beautiful car...

[@nogodgiveslemons]

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

[@yomama629]

The best was the Aston Martin race from London to Monaco

[@zuuchii]

"I've got three options for the ride settings: sport, dynamic and..... james may" ahahahaha

[@jjhoops023]

u are correct sir

[@djani911]

great video...audi rocks!!

[@JTHuntsman]

"Im not a petty man, but i sorta dislike them already" HaHa, gotta love Hammond. He's the fricken man.

[@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

[@SteliosE92]

sport,dynamic and james may! LMAO... Hit the ham!! hilarious...

[@Antony21]

14 years ago, you ok?

[@LUPENTV07]

this show is so boss

[@graywolf3495]

0:54 that sounds like the intro from Time to Pretend by MGMT

[@Racing_Fox]

Gray Wolf I was looking to see if anyone else had caught it, yes yes it is the intro

[@marcoffs95]

i got settings : Sport, dynamic and James May XDDDD I laughed so hard!!

[@Jamzkangster]

lol this is a really cool episode.

[@IsBreaLiomCapall]

lol, "there are rabbits up my trousers", omg. did Jeremy teach him that!

[@Schirmi195]

"it has 3 options: Sport, Dynamic and.. James May.." can't stop laughing xD

[@HannibalACP82]

Id take public transportation to work for the rest of my life if Audi would bring the RS6 Avant with that V-10 to the US.

[@MrZeljko88]

awsome car my dream audi, id like the sedan same colour

[@OUTRID3R_117]

Beast

[@rammstein67350]

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

[@Jolinator]

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

[@rasmusfalk]

RS6, unbelievably nice

[@markok0610]

sports dynamic and... James MaY xDDDD

[@Infinityflow0]

Damnit Richard

[@tbrowniscool]

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

[@3dgar7eandro]

His French is so good😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@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?

[@aliskaymak23]

sport dynamic or james may sport very exciting

[@citi0rhythm]

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

[@Johner108]

@JonPWN1 it just does another add

[@Prankcafe]

WHEN IS TOP GEAR SEASON 14 AIRING?

[@germanpuma]

Biturbo 5 liter V10 - gotta love Audi! :D

[@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.
