Vauxhall Maloo VXR8 LSA review | evo REVIEW

Few pick-ups are quite as outrageous as the 537bhp Vauxhall Maloo VXR8 LSA, the brute ute's swansong model. Watch Tiff Needell as he surprises a few supercars on track at Silverstone.

[@sparky191]

not a review? it's the perfect review. Tiff is a national treasure.

[@supercooled]

Tiff is a relic.

[@MrSmirfnov]

A national treasure indeed. The petrol head version of David Attenborough.

[@shayneclarke9301]

So Is the ute

[@fazer12779]

I wasn't drifting, I was driving on the limit...... lol

[@flexinclouds]

Lmao.. he's great.

[@hoilst]

There's a reason you put "CAUTION VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SIDEWAYS" on these things down here...

[@youtubehandol]

JUST WAITIN FOR A MATE

[@gaah23]

TIFF is simply the best car journalist in the world. And has been that for the last 30years. That's just insane!

[@robz1471]

gaah23 agreed. Chris Harris in his slip stream.....

[@mtnman1984]

Monkey would agree. You can put just about anyone in the seat next to him in almost any car and their butthole will be watertight by the end of the ride. That film with Tiff, Chris, and Marino was pure gold.

[@pauljeitler7678]

mtnman1984 what's it called? I need to see it!

[@Samfamson]

This isnt a review of the vxr8! it's just tiff doing some laps telling us what he sees and what he is doing.

[@terbo2000]

Vauxhall Maloo VXR8 LSA review | just tiff doing some laps telling us what he sees and what he is doing

[@ninjabumaye]

And it's way better than just a VXR8 review.

[@ZacBernasconi]

Yip Tiff is the man. "Thats not drifting thats driving on the limit"

[@guillaumed1691]

Thao Nguyen for me it's way better than a review

[@herrerasauro7429]

Well, up until hearing Tiff voice i was kind of meh to this video.

[@Xenoni]

Title should be Tiff trolling in Silverstone. Lol

[@heamees4822]

Title should be "Tiff reviews his driving". Aswome nevertheless.

[@vanwanderer9784]

i think there is a restriction on drifting but why?protecting the track from damaging?or to prevent accidents?

[@indykartsindoorgokarting6711]

To prevent accidents, drifting is really slow.

[@vanwanderer9784]

I mean considering the traffic,possible lack of experience of drifter

[@alexd3206]

"I wasn't drifting! That's called 'driving on the limit'." -Tiff

[@18000rpm]

That should be on his tombstone

[@glynnc3488]

As much as i love watching video's from the rest of the EVO team, that was one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin for a while. To see Tiff driving without all the snappy editing and one second shots on TV is excellent, and I hope there is more to come like this!

[@PolyFPV]

How can you not love Tiff!?

[@Beany2007FTW]

Fifth Gear - always good in Fifth Gear..." You tart, Tiff. You glorious tart.

[@Ray147]

Fantastic! Tiff, you made an Aussie proud! You had me laughing all the way, and I was passenger with you! I wish I could drive half as good as you!

[@WillSatchwell]

I do hope Tiff is a permanent feature!

[@xapaiz]

Should make a "Tiff on Track Days" specials, very entertaining!

[@mc3films]

Tiff gives evo a honking shot of personality. Just what the doctor ordered, and perfect for adding to my KZbin favorites. Tiff Needell has influenced my life like few people have. Quite simply, he is the best.

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

Used to love watching Fifth Gear. Tiff was always good for a laugh, and being a racer, knew his stuff. And as an Aussie, I have the SS Version of the Ute with 450 BHP. So much fun to drive.

[@longtailgt]

"Fifth Gear, always good in Fifth Gear" cheeky Tiff!

[@Sleepy.Time.]

is a mullet included with each sale?

[@brilliantradience]

No, but if ur lucky maybe u'll find a chaznazzer 🐸

[@simmerdafukdown]

no but the airbags are filled with cheap wine

[@Realdeal790]

no but its full of Victoria bitter

[@MosesKaldor]

No but the air bags are filled with spiders and a snake lives in the engine bay.

[@benjaminweslake4174]

No worries, there's a drop bear for that

[@teddyframhein]

Seriously, guys, make this a web series: "Tiff Needell in Cars at Track Days." I'd watch every one.

[@Simon74]

Tiff on Evo??? HELL YEAH!

[@nnface2023]

It's a pleasure to watch Tiff in a video, such charismatic way of relaying the experience. More of this please.

[@DonLee1980]

Great to see Tiff again!

[@HowAreYaCobber]

That’s incredible skill - no weight over the rear wheels to keep it planted through corners and mixing it with Caterhams, Radicals, etc. God, Tiff is good!

[@duncnz3129]

4 bags of cement in the back will keep the tail in place on those corners .

Make sure and get them from Bunnings for maximum purity.

[@Sajuuk9]

Can we do this every week? Tiff driving in a sleeper or underdog car and trashing race cars on a track :) this was fun to watch!

[@polentaonthefloor]

Watching Tiff enjoying some track day fun on record makes me grin, it reminds me so much of the Fifth Gear days. Even though this is not quite the review video I'd hoped for, it's still great fun to watch.

[@joshkearns734]

It's nice to see a Holden Maloo getting reviewed

[@SoCalFreelance]

Excellent work Tiff! I probably would have spun out half a dozen times given the same situation. Always great to see a professional at work.

[@captaincrazy3444]

This was originally a holden/hsv right?

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

Yah thats our Aussie beast

[@LicualaBeauty]

G Rodriguez Falcon power 30 psi is real Aussie beast!

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

Ha yah true - one day at work we stuck a Camaro on a hoist n all in unison said "Commodore" lol

[@LicualaBeauty]

G Rodriguez heh heh,no more oz power :-(

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

Mate, it seriously breaks my heart. They're cultural icons for us - pieces of our childhood blue tacked to our bedroom walls. I'd go spastic when the Weekend news paper had a free poster of something Commodore or Falcon in it. These cars are our identity in the motoring world.

[@mcdick]

Tiff really knows how to add drama to action :). Dude should be motorsport commentator when not hosting a show or what ever he's up to now.

[@robz1471]

can't help but smile at tiff. still got child like enthusiasm when driving fast and you know he is loving the car and you feel that

[@therealmaxspeedster]

Looks like if that Maloo had a bit more tire Tiff could have stayed with that Lambo for a bit. Excellent driving!

[@surewin1773]

I can watch Tiff commentate on other drivers while driving at a track day all day long! This was hilarious-

[@DJMotoVlogs]

Tiff is awesome and his voice is iconic. I remember watching his car reviews as a 5 year old and he's still out kicking ass.

[@TheRitualChannel]

Tiff is the best. I will always remember his fantastic review of the E46 M3.

[@KoenigF50]

Tiff !! more (way more ) of him please Evo !! Awesome driving, awesome car, awesome video !

[@madsdgdhg]

A big like just because of Tiff.

[@ninjabumaye]

Best car video I have seen in a long time. I just love this man!

[@ASpectreOfSorts]

I absolutely love Tiff. While not a review, as such, it has Tiff Needell in it so I'm happy.

[@joe5boost]

well done evo so good to see tiff on your channel , keep up the good work

[@user-qq6lv7xu2r]

Love to see Tiff back presenting. He's a character. Would be wonderful if Fifth Gear comes back on.

[@roadreg1820]

'Tiff Needell on a track day' ..is what the title should have been called. Brilliant video. Love Needells, such a talented driver. Now, can we see him on a track day in a something nice like a M3 ZCP, Arial Atom, Lotus, for example?

[@JonT4041]

Always enjoy watching Tiff sling a car around :)

[@darrensmith9356]

Does make you think just how much better that Maloo & Tiff combo might have been with a set of slicks and a few minor tweaks to the suspension setup. Tiff can certainly peddle a car!

[@Boltronical]

Tiff is the fucking man, he needs to be on one of the big shows.

[@chrisdwyer1477]

Tiff is simply the best. One of the reasons I ever got into top gear and even cars!

[@jordanw1643]

I keep coming back to this video. I wish there was outside footage of him drifting that bend 😄

[@18T220]

More Tiff please.

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

Always loved Tiff, honest and just does great car reviews. Also the Maloo is an Australian built Ute and is no longer made as Holden have closed down.

[@swanblake]

Tiff!!! I've missed you so much. Very happy to see you again

[@johnniethepom2905]

Tiff should come to Mount Druitt and the locals will show him how to drive one . Their tyre warm ups are thing to behold .

[@jimjames8575]

Thankyou For the Great Video Mr Needell....Very sharp driving skills ;) hi from Australia...Up the mighty Maloo....God Bless

[@zbrembo]

Tiff getting yelled at for drifting haha awesome

[@S3mj0n]

Tiff is the best. Cool guy, great driver and funny.

[@Pedrocosta-bn5dt]

it was a great surprise for me, to see tiff needel in this channel. i hope he keep driving

[@krrk6337]

Suggested Title: Tiff in a pickup truck chasing a race-prepped Lambo.

[@aigooboy]

Tiff in a pickup truck (on street tires!) chasing a race-prepped Lambo.

[@aussieausdeutschland4245]

KR!RK pick up truck!!!! ffs its a UTE! an Aussie Icon never call it that in front of an Australian, because you get ya head ripped off.

[@krrk6337]

Oh, Is that how prisoners call them down there.

[@Circlotron]

A pickup has the load compartment separate from the cabin. This is a ute. The load compartment and the cabin are all one piece.

[@stanloader2297]

Don't bother trying to explain it mate - he's a pom and they know every fucking thing.

[@dhananjayringe]

Holy shit!! It's mister Needell Thanks Evo :)

[@Silverdeamon92]

Tiff is that "on the limit" uncle you always enjoy hanging out with.

[@mynamedosntmatter]

Liking the fifth gear nod at 2:49

[@MrMartie36]

Tiff please do all EVO reviews. Thanks, sincerely, everyone

[@jdmiv007]

Great review. We need Tiff reviewing cars more often.

[@ubercooper]

Glad to see Tiff back again

[@jjkroll32]

Tiff on the Evo crew, most excellent!

[@mikej2934]

That was my first Tiff Needell experience and I have to say he should be on Top Gear! better than what the have now.

[@iamezza]

He actually started out as a Top Gear host between 1987 and 2001, before moving to the new show Fifth gear

[@alex91062]

Lovely to see Tiffany back

[@MrHaese]

YAY Tiff! Great to see you reviewing cars again!

[@goulash75]

Having driven my friend's VXR8 out of his driveway, and making the mistake of putting my foot straight to half throttle, I can honestly say I admire Tiff's ability to not have the car sideways for the majority of this drive!

[@AchrafRa]

Tiff is baaaack, welcome back!

[@paulmitchell6485]

Every version of the Holden ute is awesome culminating in this last edition. With GM destroying Holden it's truly a collectors piece only going up and up in price. I daily a 2011 C63 but my favourite is my 78 Holden Kingswood ute. Looks gangsta asf, it's a wave generator wherever I go

[@johnd8892]

A Maloo in highest performance W1 spec, one of four made, is at auction online currently. Current bid $1,040,000 with nine days to go. HSV build date 29/12/2017. Already a record for an Australian built car.

[@Camphlobactor]

As others have said, this is not much of a review. I didn't learn jack about the VXR8 but damn was it fun watching Tiff absolutely demolish million dollar exotics and full on Radical racing cars.

[@svtweston]

I could watch hours of that! Great stuff.

[@brianswille]

TIFF!!!! So awesome to see your videos

[@TheKizzyfish]

Tiff & Evo...a match made in heaven

[@cakraparindra4659]

Am laughing and smiling throughout the whole video.. nice video EVO 😆 keep it up 👍👍👍

[@karankenZ]

This was really really really entertaining to watch. Wish this guy did more.

[@eddiesegal5541]

The Tiff Drift is back!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

What a car, What a driver, Politely says I wasn't drifting, I was driving on the limit, Classic TIFF, Reminds me how much I miss 5th Gear

[@yoeddynz]

Fantastic. Always fun to see Tiff caning a car around. That Ute would surprise a few out on the road in the UK. Shame Holden is finishing up with their own home designed cars this year :-(

[@audiwankenobi361]

There is no one who can drive on a track and give entertaining commentary like Tiff.....not Harris is as perfect at it.

[@cdb5001]

I hesitated to watch this video but what a great surprise! Tiff bloody Needles.

[@secondchance4498]

PLEASE PLEASE tell me Tiff is now going to be part of Evo?

[@mortlol2]

Tiff that was such an amazing review. Had me entertained and laughing all the way through.

[@bbpleg]

Tiff is such a fun fella

[@edwarddelderfield]

Tiff, legend! Driving on the limit. More of this pls
