Chris Harris Drives The McLaren 570GT | Top Gear

[@sander8341]

Not only is Chris a fantastic driver and a pure joy to watch ..but the camera work that we see in these videos is utterly fantastic !

[@mtnbkr2011]

Neil has been working with Chris for a long time and I'm glad he still gets to work on these.

[@followthegrow108]

Sander so true chris is amazing aswell as the camera work. I like this car aswell

[@Tigermoto]

Neil is an amazing cameraman. One of the things I like about Chris as a presenter is that he acknowledges Neil's presence all the time too. A lot of the time, the thing you're watching has been made beautiful by someone unknown

[@lebronjames687]

THE OLD TOP GEAR WAS BETTER

[@michaelcaplinger5115]

yeah true but you can go watch gt

[@davidimus101]

Chris Harris single handedly keeping TG afloat

[@foadrightnow5725]

Agreed!

[@abdullahsulman]

davidimus101 agree 100% !!

[@rohandheman]

Chris Harris: Sole reason to keep watching TG

[@ncmartinez_his]

Rohan Dheman No doubt he's been contacted by Motor Trend.

[@djoetma]

This is like saying some player from a championship winning team has been contacted by the a way smaller club.

[@petez0r.]

I think you are basing your opinion on pure nostalgia. while I love TG, Chris is the only reason you can still watch NEW TG episodes.

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

Chris Harris is the reason to start watching TG

[@hamadalmansourr]

Let's all be honest, Chris Harris is the best.

[@hemalwijesundara3792]

Clarkson + the boys are more entertaining but Chris Harris is better in reviewing cars

[@hamadalmansourr]

Hemal Wijesundara Yeah agreed

[@axelnussbaumer]

I also like the guy with really tall hair on drive

[@Deftonesdsm]

yes , but i want chris' old youtube videos back......top gear is sooo bbc and locked in old media ways that i miss all of his videos

[@cheapgamingprogram2700]

Jay Leno is beter.

[@DrummerBoii1411]

It’s great how one Chris left the show after a year and the other Chris took over and the likes went thru the roof. 🤷‍♂️

[@mikesbaker]

Don't blame Evans. Blame the people who chose Evans. At BBC Should we a seasoned motoring journalist take over? No, let's just have our good pal Evans do it. People like him. Much less effort in going this route. What could go wrong?

[@martinofleeds]

Michael Baker Square Peg & a Round Hole. It really wasn’t his Bag tbh...

[@thereignofdando]

That line he hit at 1:00 was beautiful. So smooth. Chris Harris is the man!

[@yuridaman]

Chris Harris, I know this probably doesn't mean much but I'm gonna say it anyway. I'm 36 years old and I grew up with top gear. I threw a hissy fit when Clarkson, May and Hammond left cos I love them and grew up with them. (in singapore) But you're the first person I thought of to be on top gear when they left. And when I first heard that it's actually happening I was ecstatic. You are the only reason I gave top gear a chance. You are the only person I felt was worthy. Thank you Chris Harris. Thank you BBC. There. I said it. Now I'm gonna go watch this video again cos I spent half the time typing this.

[@followthegrow108]

Yuri Rudnev lol the ending

[@ohwell2790]

Clarkson did not leave, he was fired for being a ass and hitting a server in a restaurant and he still is a ass. He did not get his steak perfect for him , again a ass.

[@deadtothewxrld]

Yea old top gear, blah blah. I miss it too, but Chris is great in a different way. Everyone needs to stop beating that dead horse

[@callumpenman5992]

Daniel Manning I just preferred it when we didn’t need to rely on 1 presenter to keep the show alive

[@tonyc149]

Not only is Chris a great driver and presenter, the camera work is exceptional and keeps new top gear miles ahead of the rest.

[@claudiomunoz471]

Wow this car is almost as good as Chris Harris

[@tannerpayne5817]

Claudio Munoz 😂

[@sajjeel123]

Claudio Munoz I wonder if he knows that other guy who had that KZbin channel Chris Harris on cars, I think they would get along quite well

[@izr1t3]

A daily drivable McLaren.. Could you ask for more?

[@tomhertz1614]

t3mb3 They are all drivable.

[@2011blueman]

There is no such thing as a daily driver McLaren, they're not reliable enough to be a daily driver.

[@vika0194]

Yes. A cheaper price.

[@robertallen7435]

Yes...a reliable one !

[@jjlasne]

I test-drove this car on the street and the highway - no track - and it was amazing. Very easy to drive, plenty of power and merging at 90mph was a gas.

[@D00FY]

These Chris Harris videos just keep getting better and better.

[@ZaDude1970]

I press 'Like' before I watch a Chris Harris post, cause I just know it'll be frickin epic on all fronts! And that smooth flow of drifts he can muster from one curve right to the next, now that is something else!

[@poonnintechachaiponpoj5736]

Fantastic driving & camera work @ 1:00. Thank you.

[@celestialtoystore]

Great video. I pulled the trigger on a 570GT on the basis of this, just like I did with the i8. Harris is absolutely spot on with his reviews, however be warned that the 570's brakes need a caveat: they need to be hot. When they're cold, they're scary as you get nothing for the first 2 or 3 inches of pedal travel then the pads bite and they bite hard. Challenging to drive hard but very, very rewarding. The GT appellation is a misnomer as it's not a soft GT in the style of a Conti GT or a DB9, it's a thoroughbred racer in a dinner jacket.

[@stfnsmlk]

Does it apply to ceramic brakes or standard steel brakes? Thanks

[@celestialtoystore]

@@stfnsmlk I have the steel

[@stfnsmlk]

@@celestialtoystore just deciding between two cars which one to get and one has steel brakes and one ceramic. Thought the ceramics have that strange feeling

[@celestialtoystore]

@@stfnsmlk they're even worse than the steel and are crippling to replace. As Harris said, steel is all you need.

[@JONYHR]

Epic Car McLaren 570GT !!

[@callumpenman5992]

JONY H.R I love this thing

[@rlsjunior797]

It is indeed. When I grow up I'll get one of these(says the guy in his mid 30s)

[@thomaswelcomer8443]

this is exactly WHY Chris is the best at what he does. it's not ONLY about melting rear tires on a track. Yes he can do that all day long (if given enough rubber!). Yes he has experience in a variety of makes and models. Yes he spends HOURS trying to figure out the PERFECT t-shirt to wear. ok. may be not. He is about the CAR. Every car isn't and shouldn't be the same. He gives an honest evaluation of it based on his own set of wants in a car AND ex plains it in a way everyone can understand. He's the man all us guys would love to hang out with and the kind the girls.... wish he was taller. is the next episode ready yet?

[@rockandclassiccars]

I agree with everything you say. He's also very articulate and intelligent and witty. And his passion for cars is infectious. I'm pretty much a layperson when it comes to cars, but I'll still watch Top Gear because of him. P.S. I'm a girl and I like him just the way he is :D

[@eddyseng1171]

Love this car. Well done Chris and your crew.

[@ohwell2790]

If you love a car you need to get a girl. Love a machine is stupid.

[@TheRonellCross]

If I was selling these cars I would just play this video in the dealership on repeat.

[@volvofh800]

I was soo sad when this video was over...I was like c'mon Chris,at least few more minutes!

[@ncmartinez_his]

You guys do a great job with these videos.

[@thisBLUEsweater]

I'm so so so thankful for these videos, thanks you so much Chris and Neil!!

[@michaelcaplinger5115]

i love how they still have Chris harris drives ive been watching his videos ever since he was on the drive Channel

[@baraataleb2383]

Yea chrisssyyy. Keeping tg afloat man

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Please do a head to head with the 570S and the 720S (or the 720S and the 650S)! Great job as always, Chris.

[@Bolek989]

This car has grown on me. That spec is pretty neat as well!

[@HG504X]

If Top Gear didn't have Chris Harris, it would be well and truly dead. Wouldn't mind if Top gear was hosted just by him. He deserves it.

[@djoetma]

But Top Gear does have Harris/ And Harris wouldn't work as a single presenter and car tester and interviewer and journalist. THe only one that didn't work for me was Evans. Reid and even LeBlanc are quite alright.

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

Does anyone have the link to Chris Harris column on AutoTrader /Oversteer....?

[@tonyrichengod9280]

0:50 This shot alone sold me on this car. Brilliant shot, brilliant car.

[@MatrixDiscovery]

The only car reviewer that can handle these cars.

[@followthegrow108]

smasila i know right

[@LasiruMaheerathna]

Single handedly keeping Top Gear alive.

[@topgun8683]

You did a great job on this video Chris, well done !

[@alexandercruz8371]

Very underrated car. Love to own one someday.

[@shaned1500]

Got a ride in one of these and it was unbelievable

[@TerribleTimes]

Best looking McLaren by far!

[@kenstyle6]

Wonderful. Car, video, Chris, scenery.. thank you.

[@joeferreri818]

again another beautiful video

[@ChimaChindaDev]

Project ONE - Chris Harris Drives. I'm patiently waiting for that to popup in my recommendations.

[@jryalls]

Chima Chinda you’ll be waiting till at least 2019 mate.

[@koosgijsman]

So we roll into 2020 and it’s still nowhere to see..

[@tayyabahmed4658]

This show from the producers to the spot boys I mean everyone and of course Chris Harris. Its their collective effort that the show is still watched and loved today. Without any exaggeration this show is the best running example of how the car shows should be made and filmed! Thank you top gear.. Wish you best of luck for the future

[@GustavoChagas70]

What a car, what a place. Amazing.

[@dual.clutch]

nice to finally see a topgear comment section that isn't 90% people circle jerking about the old topgear

[@TheyreDeadDave]

I see this is already been said, but I want to chime in, too. I really enjoy Chris Harris Drives. I appreciate his analysis of the cars, but the look and sound of these videos is outstanding. Now I really wish I'd spent more time in Wales. Well done to Chris and the team.

[@ChubiPanda]

I always dart back and forth as to which is my favorite. The S or GT. Right now, the GT is winning. In that colour too I love it!

[@joeelkmeatrogan3224]

Tbh either of them is a bargain with a tune it will easily reach 720ps

[@askanracing]

Had a go in one of these last year and that might be one of the most fun cars i'v ever driven, although i only went 2 laps on a short circuit it instantly jumped to my top 3 fun cars. The turbolag is pure excitement in this car.

[@martinpalmer3575]

Chris is ace. "They probably think you're in a Lotus, and that's probably a compliment....What a lovely thing to be in" :D

[@Bashirbros]

"why would you want anymore" you said the same thing about the Porsche Boxster

[@mannygarcia1810]

This reminds me of the old Chris Harris on cars. Wonderfully made and great to watch. Thanks to Neil of course.

[@ajadrew]

Always time for Chris Harris though I've given up on TG.... Question...why do the rear lights flash on & off as at 0:20?

[@lolzlarkin3059]

Leds and slomo camera

[@quixutica]

ajadrew Tagging off the other comment, refresh rate difference between LEDs and the Slomo cam

[@DeathBringer769]

Lights like that actually blink rapidly, faster then the eye can see. When a camera films it, sometimes the filming rate (frame rate) mismatches with the blinking/refresh rate of the LED and lets you actually see the blinking. Also high speed, slow-mo cameras help you see faster than your eye can naturally see as well. But yea, LED lights appear to be "on" all the time but they're actually just blinking on and off really fast. That's the main thing to remember ;)

[@fdowie1]

The way it changes direction

[@topgun8683]

That was awesome Chris, like to see you at the race in Belgium!

[@PaddyMcQueen]

I love this car, GT car one day for sure!

[@ChrisPlow]

Harry Metcalfe Chris Harris the best in the business 👍

[@TheThink5op]

Wish I could like this kind of videos more than one time

[@MindDezign]

The James Bond of automotive journalism ,Chris Harris.

[@TheVince456]

MindDezign vero ! Deep true

[@twilighter7]

I'm in love with this McLaren 570GT. Look how agile it is... But open dif is a turn off I must say.

[@nicholaszivich7589]

João Silva the p1 has an open diff

[@ohwell2790]

Do you prefer the car on top or under you how in the hell can you love a machine ?

[@followthegrow108]

Its actually a much better and reliable system. Simply using the brakes... geniuses.

[@cypresscoastvisuals]

video editing is getting better and better each time

[@VegaChastain]

How many more times can you subtly dig the car... lol great ride!!

[@North_Of_Nowhere]

Absolutely loved the video, please film in Wales more often it's a joy to watch!

[@UsherLinder]

Bravo! Well done! Thank you for all the hard work and craft that went into the making of this joy to the ears and eyes.

[@CubanRider]

Such a fantastic video; Mr. Harris doing his thing, one of the most desirable cars in the world, and breathtaking views. 11/10. Brilliant.

[@anthonylessthanzero1498]

Okay Chris.... If you can have only one GT Car today. Which one would you pick? Love your videos. Stay safe, Tony

[@maxhi88]

Again, no DougScore. smh

[@kristalic]

Guy Incognito YES

[@GunsNBudder]

LOL.

[@damianruelas2880]

Guy Incognito I know right

[@damianruelas2880]

He should do a collab with Doug DeMuro.

[@Eidrian111]

Guy Incognito LOL but being completely honest I HATE the dougscore LOL

[@seanthomas2906]

Got agree Chris is a maverick at this game a complete professional. So informative and at the same time amusing and witty. Nice one son your a legend. Thank you for all yours and your teams efforts, hope can all carry on living the dream

[@TooTallTang]

Good to see that the haters no longer downvote because this video doesn't have Clarkson.

[@kristjanveski]

Just like the lovely car in feature, this CHD videos are so pure and pleasant to watch. Those S curve sequences look so cool, even without any post processing, filters, etc.

[@Diecastclassicist]

Imagine taking a McLaren in a time machine back to earlier eras - even as recently as the '70s and '80s a car like this would have seemed impossible.

[@zGJungle]

People will let you out at junctions in that for the same reasons people let Astons out, beautiful and British cars get respect. Talking about in the UK at least.

[@asif5710]

0:56-1:08 look at that beautiful driving

[@Trendyflute]

I've often been impressed by McLarens, and always have respected them, but outside of a few impossible daydreams to maybe try an F1 (who could refuse?), this is honestly the first video that made me WANT one.

[@lost2n1damned]

Chris Harris will go down in history as the man who saved Top Gear.

[@edinayee]

I feel like I am driving the car just by watching Chris Harris doing a review

[@paulhancock]

You guys are STILL whining about Top Gear?! Haven't your lives moved on? Personally I like CARS so I like the more journalistic approach without the dad jokes and purposely trying to cause controversy. Chris Harris is a superior 'car' presenter in every way than the old 3 guys and NONE of them could even drive a track properly yet still felt qualified to critique performance and handling. Give the new guys another year to settle in and they'll be brilliant. Then we can all shut up about it.

[@jameswillard1]

Paul Hancock thank you Paul! Couldn't have said it better myself. 👍🏻

[@LasiruMaheerathna]

Well done my man! Couldn't have said it any better.

[@mej6519]

The whole Clarkson, Clarkson, Clarkson thing is getting a tad boring now, shame some can't move on, it's not like we don't have a good choice for car stuff now.

[@wibbers4578]

Top gear at a time was the MOST viewed television programme in the world, do you honestly believe such a niche market would of ever gotten so large if it had been factual like this, of course not. People watched the old top gear not because they liked cars but loved the chemistry between the three, the experiences and the raw hilarious relationship of them.They weren't just car reviews, they was entertainers. And bloody good ones at that!

[@tomhiggins4816]

Centurion Guy well now you have two car shows to watch, can't see any reason to complain now

[@AndyScotty82]

Why the change of wheels between track and road segments??

[@wsmiteh]

If its open differential, with it mimicking an LSD by differential braking on either side, how does it light up both when sliding... Im confused.

[@ShadowFalcon]

Will Smit really fancy electronic trickery I presume. The McLaren P1 also has an open diff, and it too can slide for days.

[@DeathBringer769]

Might be the second slowest current McLaren relatively, but *in general* it's definitely not "slow" going 0-62mph in 3.4s :D Like they say, everything's relative (to the context in which you compare it.)

[@W0lf_91]

Saw one of these a couple of months ago where I live. Beautiful car sounded great too

[@Tigermoto]

Is it just me or do some of the design elements hark back to the old F1? Beautiful car.

[@WTomMeier]

Nice report. Well done.

[@pantag2]

Why are they still recording only in 1080p?

[@ryanjackson1143]

he made this one perform its finest dance

[@JackGuitar1207]

Where were the pictures taken?

[@azonicrider32]

Such a genuinely pleasant human being.

[@kedgeuk]

Does anyone know the roads Chris uses for these videos? Obviously somewhere in Wales.

[@osianpoulton9841]

kedgeuk A4061 between Treherbert and Hirwaun.

[@kedgeuk]

osian poulton awesome, thank you.

[@HB92647]

I bought this, in this color because of this video. Thanks.

[@dartagnanx1]

an all-around outstanding video. You're terrific, as usual, as is your crew!!

[@Jon1Surf1Lim]

Once again Harris smashes it out of the park. 👍🏻

[@geigerzoola6642]

Chris harris is one legendary legend

[@BryanDuggan2010]

I enjoy his driving just as much as I do the car itself. Truly impressive.

[@steamsteam6607]

Where is this filmed? Schotland?

[@steamsteam6607]

Thanks. Gorgeous scenery;

[@osianpoulton4841]

steam steam A4061 between Treherbert and Hirwaun known as Rhigos Mountain Road

[@DestroyerWill]

The best car reviewer currently reviewing cars.

[@jamesminshall4601]

Great car, anybody know where about in wales the road bit was filmed?

[@clivesimpson-wells5952]

Brilliant, Positive , great photography Video , Mclaren Deserve it, Nice one Chris ...

[@alanthecat59]

excellent review as per normal well done

[@mazin2892]

4:43 where is that location?

[@jak493]

Did this have a standard or sports exhaust fitted?

[@ivoatanasov2939]

That colour is beautiful and the roads as well

[@dr.warner2288]

silly question, if you found a 570s for like half the price of a GT and have been fixing it up... and it needs new springs / shock absorbers... can you just I don't know... use the 570 GT parts?

[@ICKY427]

see, if this were really Top Gear, after chris' last line at the end: "why would you need anything faster?", the very next shot would be clarkson wide open in a 720s yelling "powaaaaaaa!"

[@varunkapur5640]

Anyone have any idea abt the name the soundtrack used in the video?
