What I'd love to see more of, old car designs being rebuilt with new tech but not to the point where they're turned into computers.

[@MitkoKostadinov123]

Same!

[@orgami100]

The XKE. this probably the most beautiful sports car ever made, and it's not even Italian..-:)

[@grooks10]

+MJTbreww I feel like you would love the Singer Porsche, the De Macross GT1, and the Barnard BTR7. I feel the same as you, and those are definitely some of my favorite cars!

[@dahorn100011]

+MJTbreww This, and the singer 911 are my favourites

[@ThungStudios]

To be fair, the GT86 is not supposed to be super fast. It's supposed to be fun to drive. Not to mention it's like $25,000, which is basically the price of the GT's windshield.

[@prostreetfairladyz8402]

the GT86 is utter boring anywhere you look

[@ismazara]

Unknown if you think that then you are the biggest idiot in the world, and not a petrolhead at all. Even Jeremy Clarkson said it would make every single driver smile cause it that fun.

Yea but the gt86 is boring

[@abdulnadeem955]

what was the point of that drag race? a 395bhp vs 197bhp. thats like me trying to prove my self tall by comparing my self to richard hammond

[@l5vdi]

+Abdul Nadeem whats the point on being still subscribed to Top Gear

[@abdulnadeem955]

+Therealpotato but they r comparing 2 uncompareable things. if they do want to compare and show how fast the remake is compared to the modern 1ns, atleast have a similar price tag for both. u cant try to compare an 800k remake to a 26k car

[@MJTbreww]

345hp* Well I guess as Jeremy said to compare it to Toyota's idea of a modern day sports car. But yeah straight up drag race between the two not very smart but I guess to prove the "old" vs new and difference in performance.

[@abdulnadeem955]

+MJTbreww ik what u mean but what my question was, the comparison is dumb. u see if they wanna compare old vs new, atleast it should be in the same catagory. these 2 are not in the same catagory. u cant say the old is faster if it is able to beat a very slow modern car u know what i mean?

[@MJTbreww]

+Abdul Nadeem Yeah I understand what you mean and you're right! It should of been an equivalent car from today.

[@MegaMarcin98]

3:17 Jeremy Clarkson is amazed by the attention to detail in this car. He points out is that because the car has 5 gears rather than 4 like in the E-Type, it has 5 gears on the gear knob not 4. Astonishing

[@djxjxixsmjxjskjzxn1853]

He was being sarcastic.

Beautiful car. Forget all the specs, this look is hard to beat. A classic.

[@thememers_dude]

really a 360hp vs a 200hp drag race lol

[@ImAzraa]

Yeah because suspension and tyre compounds, gearing and all that stuff is irrelevant right? Perhaps that's why the Hellcat gets dumped against similarly priced european sports cars

[@Yeet42069]

Modern mid range fast cars have barely any hp under the hood and completely destroy 40 year older racecars with twice the amount that they have, wonder why -_-. Hp doesn't mean sh if you're comparing modern tech to old design.

[@homeofthemad3044]

deari900 Horsepower is extremely important. A 1969 Dodge Polara 440 police car is faster than most police cars on sale today even though it is almost 50 years old.

[@lassepleb3258]

160hp difference in a standing dragrace makes suspension and most other things pretty irrelevant yes.

[@radityaindera3442]

Yeah stupid Top Gear at its finest. Put 700k in that 86 then lets see which is faster. Pointless.

[@zuprArpuz]

Imagine if Top Gear with these lads was still going today!!😞 it would be magnificent

[@ragnaroki9427]

It would not actually, it's 2020 and you can't nowadays instult same way as before in television. Grand tour is internet show so they can curse and insult peoples and countries

[@PunksloveTrumpys]

The first screens are ridiculously expensive because they need to create the moulds they use to make them. Subsequent (i.e replacement) screens only cost a few hundred each.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Jared Freeland you think?

[@user-lb7pt6jb3o]

"It also has cooling" Wow that definitely makes it worth its price

[@dragospahontu]

Every penny is justified

[@jameswallace7091]

I think it was a dig at the original e-type engine cooking itself

[@justinsteel6360]

The original e type was a boiler lol. It overheated a lot.

[@limeddasch382]

"Walk a mile in their shoes." If you'd spend hundreds of hours on a car I think you'd want to charge accordingly.

[@ALTER_7]

The GT86 is a tuners car. A lot of people buy it stock so they can tune it to their specs and make the performance a shit ton better. With the Eagle you don't really need to tune it unless you really need to. Its already insane stock.

[@David-ud9ju]

Yeah, Eagle spend enough time doing that for you; that's why it's so expensive.

[@ryderlehmann2366]

plus you would have to know what you were doing if you wanted to tune a 800,000 pound classic

[@mr.chapel4179]

This is not a car, we are beyond that. This is art.

This car has to be one of the best looking . I can see why corvette took a page out of this book in the mid 60's with the C2

[@bicyclist2]

[@kazukinakoshima]

So um, The GT-86 has about 200 HP, is heavier, and isn't meant to be fast in a straight line speed. It's meant to be enjoyable in the corners. So that drag race proves nothing

[@captaincrumpet5558]

Yuzu Gaming I agree to be honest

[@justinl2009]

It tries to emphasize how fast the E-type. Its not a real comparison, its a statement.

"That won't raise the pulse of either of The Stig's hearts". I want that Eagle. I just want it.

[@Maurice_Moss]

Eagle also improves the standard e type, so you could take an e type to them, and they'd tweak it to make it work perfectly, and it'd look original. I think that's what I'd do tbh.

They managed to make such a near-accurate modernized recreation, they even got the blue smoke, as it's burning up oil along with benzene. This thing's almost as thirsty on engine oil as it is on gas. An absolute beauty, for sure.

I mean even i grow up with in 90s with this incredible voice and career with watching BBC means watching topgear for me and topgear means Jeremy Clarkson & Tiff in the 80s & 90s.. and after starting the new series in 21 sentry it turned out to Clarkson Hammond & May and how the hell do you make top gear without that legends. they were absolutely brilliant. In this whole world a man lives in deep in my hart after my parents is the Jeremy Clarkson no one can't ever change it. So what you done to him BBC end of your word go to bloody hell BBC. I or millions of people in the world never need to watch new topgear ever again.
