That's actually KPH made look like miles per hour because of editing, the P1's gears are not large enough to support 200 MPH in 5th and plus, a Koenigsegg One To One can't get to 200 on the dry there so there's absolutely no chance that's in MPH.

@LG Work Enzo Ferrari sold his house to start to race in 1919, in 1920 he was an Alfa Romeo driver, then in 1929 he estabilished Scuderia Ferrari, that used Alfa Romeo cars (since Ferrari loved Alfa Romeo, it was like a mother for him, and S.F. was sort of under Alfa at the time), in 1947 he decided to produce and sell his road cars to stop taking money from two local banks and to start to feed S.F. with road cars money, the rest is history.

Its not a rumor. The new show with the three lads will be due out this Autumn on Amazon.

[@kristianbrandt3012]

No longer a rumor, they're filming right now. The show is called ''The Grand Tour'' and airs on Amazon. I'm very much looking forward to it, because they now have a budget four times as big. Top Gear aired on the BBC, which is a license funded network. What this means is that all Brits, by law, pay a license fee to the BBC. This means commercial free TV is available to all. But it also means that the BBC has to limit the amount of money they can offer Top Gear, as they need to cover all interests, not just car fans... Amazon prime on the other hand does not recieve license pay, so they're free to broadcast whatever they want.

[@annuarkhir7828]

[@Muskar2]

Fuel consumption is probably the least of the worries for supercars. Even if you get one for free, the maintenance is usually ridiculously expensive.

[@Muskar2]

No doubt that money can buy you exciting stuff - but that term you're referring to probably talks about a longer period of happiness. I think it's an ideological term anyway, and everyone knows that ideologies are a great place to look for objective truth ;)

But then at 06:56 i fell of the chair laughing, when he talked about "Brilliant British Engineering" that allegedly has been around for centuries, and I started thinking about what manure the British car industry designed and sold in the 1970s, 1980s and until the entire British car industry went totally down the drain

This is still one of the greatest car reviews ever put to film. The car drifting like its on the ragged edge which it probably is. The absolute glory that is Spa as a track and of course the legend Clarkson giving us the amazing voice over and review we want. This video is legendary in the car world in my eyes.

[@jiujitsumonkey1]

To this day I think this is the best single performance car review they ever did, absolute perfection

[@jackgatford5884]

And this right here, is why the "new top gear" with Evans at the helm will never compare, the way that Clarkson speaks about these cars comes effortless, and with authority, and epic, without even trying, the fun and games of the three together is one thing. But it's these serious peices that made the show, let's hope the amazon offering brings something close. But I doubt it will be the same.

[@sanjaynandalall2260]

it really doesn't matter what kind of car Jeremy Clarkson likes.... if he really really really loves a car, he does make ONE HELL of a review. it really shows how passionate he likes it, it makes the laferrari and 918 reviews bland. idc that it's slower, I'm in love with this car as well :)

[@HyperblazeM]

I'm sorry, but the other reviews are not exactly crap in terms of production quality and/or contents. Love each of the three reviews by each of the presenters

[@sanjaynandalall2260]

HyperblazeM and where exactly did i say "crap"? they aren't bad at all, in fact, they are just as great! Im just saying that other reviews (in terms of motor trend and such) make the other cars seem bland to me, and ONLY me.

[@redcastle3522]

It's not slower , it's actually faster than both

[@jameswells11197]

Fabio Neto that's not strictly true, top speed yes, but round a track not really. although it can beat them, if they're all in identical conditions and tires etc then it's the slowest, but I still prefer it

[@justwhy4182]

What’s weird is that when some other people did the P1, 918, and LaFerrari on the track, the P1 was the fastest

@amarjit singh Things is, with high BHP you need a really good engine which is not cheap, not to mention actually driving it in the first place if you are inexperienced. I'm all for it in racing though, imagine the lap times on Nurburgring or Sarthe...
