Chris Harris Drives... Best of Practical Performance: Tesla Model S, Nissan GT-R | Top Gear

jon doe based on what? He’s a no bullshit journalist who can drive a car properly, who is presenting a car show.. 🤣

Great job! Love these compilation videos. The Type R is a modern-day classic and the king of hot hatches. It has an amazing engine, manual and chassis all with usable back seats, a usable trunk, and performance that will make some supercar owners nervous. It just broke another record on the Suzuka Race Track. Keep up the great work Top Gear. No need to chase what you used to be, just continue to do what you do well and film Chris Harris talk about cars combined with that amazing cinematography.

[@ashane184]

Love the way Chris describes the cars. Especially the GTR. Amazing!!

The gtr clip is probably one of my favorite pieces of automotive journalism. It's beautifully said and driven

The section on the GTR is as good a piece of automotive television as I have seen. Perfect.

The vehicular equivalent of a very expensive fine red wine. When it was first laid down it was criticised for being built for the PlayStation generation and some people stated you should have steered it with a controller. Now 8 years later one of the worlds most respected motoring journalists can't wipe the smile off his face when driving something he says has a deep soul and loads of character. What a brilliant car.

[@CB-rr9fe]

@@stefanpetrov8 I bought mine new last year (MY19 ) so I have only had the 12 month service which was about £350 I have gotten through one set of tyres at about 5000 miles and the brakes are 35% worn but I do push things when driving so I didnt think it's that bad. On average I get about 17MPG. If you're in the UK look on the litchfieldmotors website and they break down the serving cost up to 100k miles. I have just had the stage 4.25 done so I expect things to get more expensive now. 🤣
