Supercars galore! Smith & Sniff Goodwood Supercar paddock tour

[@GoodwoodRR]

Sweet sweet supercars.

[@Zanpaa]

We are at an inflexion point for supercars. Manual gearboxes, naturally aspirated engines, the new Bugatti being slower than the previous one... EVs have made performance numbers irrelevant, so the arms race seems to finally be coming to an end, and the manufacturers can go back to making actually interesting stuff. Even some of the EVs are interesting in their own right. In a way it's like mechanical watches, rendered obsolete by quartz watches that do the job cheaper and better, so now they've become an ode to engineering and craftsmanship for enthusiasts. I won't ever own a supercar, but I'm excited to drive this current batch in the next Forza video game!

[@hovanesmarkaryan896]

How can “supercars” be super if performance is no longer a priority? Assuming EVs are not interesting because they don’t make loud sounds is funny. Is a 4 cylinder Toyota fascinating to you?

[@Zanpaa]

@@hovanesmarkaryan896 are you intentionally missing my point, or just a bit dense? surely you can't have missed the part where i said some EVs are interesting. and you're making some crazy assumptions there.

[@hovanesmarkaryan896]

@@Zanpaa You say “some EVs” as if all gas cars are interesting, also comparing to watches is wrong because watches are obsolete in the modern world. There will come a day when the majority of sports car enthusiasts accept EVs just like they did with automatics vs manual

[@thisnameistoolong9169]

@@hovanesmarkaryan896 Judging by how many people are fawning over the GR Yaris and GR86, I'd say yes. 4 (or 3) cylinder Toyotas are very fascinating

[@MarcosM-fj6mn]

@@hovanesmarkaryan896 Top performance is always a priority, what is no longer interesting is the numbers battle. In the new Bugatti the V16 sound a feel are going to be much important than the raw power of the old W16. The new model it's slower but still ridiculously fast, and at the same time it will be more nice and fun to drive.

The 'Peter Kay' gearbox was my favorite line when talking about the Porsche. 😂

[@UKBarnFinds]

I've really enjoyed all the great coverage this year, including the fabulous content from those sweet sweet guys @smithandsniff. Must try to get there for the next one and experience it all in person.

[@Argiers]

At 10.23, it's fascinating to learn that the hybrid system is integrated into the "Peter Kay" gearbox. Every day is a school day!😂

Yes, Peter is exceptional at fast shift twin clutch boxes. The Germans rate him.

Thank you Sniff for avoiding Americanisms and saying titanium properly. It takes courage these days, even Harry M and Jay have fallen victim to tie-tanium! 😁

I've just looked at some videos of Americans and English people pronouncing titanium and they're all pronouncing it tie-tay-nium. What other way is there?

Alonso probably doesn't want to put too many miles on the Megane so he ordered a daily driver?

Great cars, but things have changed so much(old fogey alert).. when I was 30 I owned a 911 Carrera 4, which was easily affordable for an IT professional. 25 years later I certainly can't afford one. My earnings have gone up but nowhere near fast enough to keep pace with fast car prices. Back then, a Lamborghini or Ferrari was in touching distance, now they are lottery dreams. Even more so the Bugattis, Paganis, Koenigseggs, McLarens etc. Ah well.

[@Flasheart]

Has Richard Porter started colouring his hair?

[@scottsherman7069]

I loved this video, and I love Smith and Sniff but the discussion really showed why i have no interest in supercars now. "They are only making 20". "It's 3.3million". Obscene and unnecessary, you also know every single one will be in a massive collection wherre it will get driven once at Monterey Car Week when it is new, and never again.

[@DoubleOSeven007]

The Chinese never build a proper quality combustion engine , but with EV crap they know it because of the cheap RC toys they make I’ll quess .. a EV is just a big RC car offcourse

[@grantchallinor5263]

Living in a part of the world where there are plenty of Chinese cars on the road, they are generally very well made vehicles (EVs and ICU cars). China's BYD EVs now out sell Tesla worldwide and (for sure) they're better made than a Tesla. People said similar things when Japanese cars appeared in Europe in the 60s and 70s (and the Japanese haven't done too badly since). The fact is that in that in Asia/the Far East (Japan, Korea, and China) they make better cars than the Europeans and Americans do.
