[@mosby985]

People ok yes clarkson may and Hammond are gone but move on watch the grand tour. Don't hate on chris Harris he has been the best reviewer way before he was even on top gear. His passion and enthusiasm separates him from the rest

[@trip7downunder]

Dont mind the new format. They have it right now. They just need more years and the show will be better

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

I much prefer Harris doing this sort of thing.

[@windowsxp2269]

GTPHOTOGRAPHY - people didnt watch top gear with clarkson Hammond and may for the reviews they watched it for the comedy and challenges

[@123paul]

Beast Ninja Blah blah blah gypsies blah blah blah. Blah blah blah the Welsh blah blah blah. Blah blah blah women blah blah blah.

[@windowsxp2269]

Still better then all the jokes in the new season

[@Namenloser1895]

This, to me, isn't top gear, it's chris harris on cars with a bigger budget and that is as close to automotive perfection as it gets.

[@ilibertywalkedmybaconct4445]

Well Said...Respect!

[@Namenloser1895]

Cheers, I like your name :D

[@TheRguru1]

its like top gear is catering to ACTUAL petrolheads now!

[@roryfiler214]

Agreed!

[@Ajbane98]

you're right, it isn't top gear. This is chris harris on cars absorbed by the bbc, posted on the top gear channel, as chris said himself. The TV show is top gear and this segment doesn't feature on it, hence, the tv show has the bad jokes and the adventure and the 'three blokes' feel.

[@robholloway6829]

I have a real love for Chris Harris. The man loves cars above all other things. He's knowledgeable, he's passionate and he's really just a normal bloke. He's probably Top Gear's biggest asset right now. Having been at a filming, he's got so much more of a personality than is shown on the program.

[@Gadomail2006]

[@Alvaricokemaureira]

Where is the factory? I always want to visit it

[@Molo9000]

120mph top speed in the 1920s when the horse and cart was still a common form of transportation. That thing was a spaceship.

[@hadijawad5224]

Am I the only one that enjoys Chris Harris AND May, Clarkson and Hammond

[@kertsisontare5266]

me too!! they are different but I like the way they are

[@princewokoma1851]

Am a fan

[@seanoreilly1832]

I'm liking this guy. James may said this guy is his favourite car reviewer in a video I saw

[@jean-yvesmartin6934]

No, you're not.

[@javieral1448]

Those cars are made in Argentina and they copy every original part of the vehicle. Outstanding!

[@HnK_Alex]

All these raging kids don't know the old chaps have their own show? Jeez move on. Chris Harris is a stand-out reviwer tho. The best out there imo.

[@vg789-d9b]

Alex Petrolhead that new show isn't even close to as good the old top gear was but I agree, Chris Harris is one of the best car reviewers out there

[@HnK_Alex]

I'm not watching the new show cause I know it's all written. Chris is being told what to say. I still watch his videos now called Chris Harris Drives and they're better than before! www.topgear.com/car-news/chris-harris-drives

[@tighevrbancic1527]

Alex Petrolhead that's what this is! This comes directly from that website onto KZbin!

[@HnK_Alex]

Yes, and that's entirely Harris, Carey and Waterfield's work so it's just perfect and honnest. It's wonderful in every way. All Chris Harris fans will understand that he has a speech to tell when he films for Top Gear cause Top Gear is more of a fun show than a show you'll watch to decide if you're gonna buy the car reviewed.

[@Japanie2]

Hah. I loved the old top gear, and sort of like the grand tour but that was definitely written the past few seasons, and the grand tour especially.

[@MacAndCs]

Can people stop whining about it not being the old top gear? We get it. This is amazing, quality content for free and you're all crying like a bunch of babies. You can literally go watch Grand Tour rn. You should be supportive of great automotive content like this.

[@MrUltraworld]

In Argentina, very few things can be imported without incurring a huge tariff. Pur Sang makes everything for their cars. They have their own foundry, they even make their own tires. This is as close to a 1927 Type 35 as the real thing is. The exception being the roller bearings of the original swapped for longer lasting plain type bearings. All for about 10% of the cars current value ( $3m - $5m).

[@ToreDL87]

Actually you can get them with roller bearings too! But most people opt for plain type.

[@CampagnoloPista]

@@ToreDL87 Unfortunately because things cannot be imported to Argentina, this quarter million dollar comes with low quality and faulty parts. For example- there is no Bosch ignition switch, it's some crappy made-in-argentina switch that won't last very long. The quality of the radiator hoses - a joke. These PurSang cars are to be AVOIDED unless you want a real headache or plan on investing more time and money to sort out a poorly assembled car.

[@BorgesyAlvarez]

@@CampagnoloPista You are a joke. Poor man... Good luck to your life, because you nedd it.

[@kokiruchi]

@@CampagnoloPista Its an exact replica from a 30´s race car buddy, even the real Bugatti was unreliable.

[@andresbonet2011]

@@CampagnoloPista dejá de hablar pavadas las réplicas Pur Sang son las mejores del mundo al punto de no poder distinguirse de un original. Uno de los puntos más fuertes es su radiador de panal de abeja construido con caños de cobre hexagonales soldados uno por uno artesanalmente exactamente como se fabricaron los originales. Y sobre la bobina de encendido es marca Bosch y se importa específicamente para este modelo. No hay dudas sobre la calidad de las réplicas Pur Sang

[@MrClassicDoctorWho]

You can tell how the car hates it when he lets off the accelerator. The car just wants to GO!

[@TheRomichou]

Thank you Chris Harris for bringing back True Passion to Top Gear. You just need to bring someone like (let's say) Collin Furze to the show, and you have it, Passion, Madness, and British humor. The 3 ingredients of Top Gear (Friendship in implied ;) ). A fan

[@JeanMarcSkopek]

Colin Furze would be an incredible addition to Top Gear

[@trashflood7883]

I love Colin Furze but find he turns cheesey and unbelievable on TV. On his own channel he's awesome and feels natural.

[@S3mj0n]

TheRomichou TheRomichou Not this annoying Furze guy. Harris, Tiff Nedell, VBH and Jason Plato.

[@TheGomer321]

As much as I adore Jeremy, James and Richard, I really do love Chris.

[@juandamianstigliano4201]

Soy de Parana provincia de Entre Ríos Argentina, vivo cerca de la fábrica y hacen otros modelos con la calidad del type 35 , son geniales👍

[@GrymeXS]

The paint on the Pur Sang is a blast from the past, reminds me of the EB110 I always wanted

[@Carstuff111]

That smile, it says it all :) I would love a chance to drive something that amazing. The Type 35 is an amazing piece of engineering.

[@bugheman]

A hundred year old car (almost) replica.... And CH is gonna still slide it... God bless you bro!

[@rubenaldomarino5431]

Hecho en Argentina como en 1935 pieza por pieza, como el Alfa Romeo y como será pronto el Sicitalia, el arte automotriz para vivir una pasión

[@mueedk2]

100% of people in the comments: get over the old top gear being gone and appreciate Chris Harris. 0% of comments:I miss Clarkson Hammond and May!

[@Renzsu]

My dream car, period. If I ever had the money for a weekend supercar, I’d get this.

[@kertsisontare5266]

I like Clarkson, Hammond, and May. I miss them. But I realized, Chris is a very good presentor. He goes to the details and I love it! I wanna know about cars now

[@robertoaraujo9834]

Es una vergüenza que el protagonista del video no haga mención a que este auto se fabrica integralmente en la Argentina, más precisamente en la provincia de Entre Rios. Todos, absolutamente todos los componentes del vehículo están fabricados desde cero en nuestro pais. ORGULLO ARGENTINO.

[@pablopuerta3197]

Es fabricado en Argentina ....que linda maquinaaa

[@juandamianstigliano4201]

Vivo cerca de pur sang en Parana Argentina y por av circulación donde entreno ciclismo, me cruzan ocasionalmente sus autos, los sacan para pruebas y el sonido es inolvidable👍

[@captaincrumpet5558]

Type 35 is a beautiful piece of art. And an engineering marvel

[@zJoriz]

Something I wondered about for some time now: why did they place the front wheels at this slight angle in those days?

[@RoverWaters]

to counteract over steering, making the car neutral at high speeds.

[@markpenrice6253]

Something to do with the relatively primitive suspension setup, IIRC. Else they'd end up splaying out and collapsing under heavy braking.

[@mojojojo911]

amazing review but whats up with the music at the end? totally threw the whole video out the window.. chris, you sir are awesome.

[@PbPomper]

What an amazing car! You can't get much more pure blood (pur sang) than that!

[@markusr7421]

A pure delight to see that old/new car running down the street - pure magic!!!

[@colinmorand129]

Chris Harris is the only reason I would watch new top gear

[@mustafaalbusaad236]

great sound

[@squishylemur5017]

Only Chris Harris can review a Bugatti Type 35 in a Vans t-shirt

[@Sachin_BI]

Cris saved top gear

[@raghavsharma1831]

Chris Harris, the new Tiff Needel.

[@markpenrice6253]

I'd actually be OK with Fifth Gear poaching him, if it's still running. I think they'd go well together.

[@mpa1931]

The new season was pretty solid with Chris Matt and Rory there's definitely a lot of potential. Rome wasn't built in a day.

[@jstanbury61]

I'd take the pur sang everytime😆

[@cvrtr]

The first and the latest legends under Bugatti's brand driving head to head together. Absolutely astonishing!

[@Alvaricokemaureira]

Strafe what about the eb110?

[@cvrtr]

alvaro maureira What about it?

[@olinwread137]

The Type 35 is really the beating heart of Bugatti and the Bugatti Type 57 SC is the master piece of art. Personally, I've never cared for the Bugatti Chiron, Veyron, or EB 110 because they all betrayed the spirit of Bugatti, which is light weight, simplicity, but styled elegantly, with lovely straight 8 and 4 cylinder engines. Part of the magnificence is that the engine and radiator are behind the front axle giving it mid front engine handling brilliance as demonstrated in the smooth power slides in the video.

[@Ouss-2077]

chris harris the type of guy who tell you that he is going to shut up and smile .... then keeps talking love him so much

[@andresluzunaris1084]

I always have this sort of question in my mind...there where light years ahead or we are light years behind...see we are always talking about how light years ahead that generation was, but, we are still, after more than a hundred years, using the same technology and techniques!! We can say that things are better now, but it's just refine in my humble opinion, just refine.

[@DouEditz]

refinement is progress and we are not using the same techniques as a hundred years ago.... its people's mentality and moral sense of good thats behind

[@mwagg123]

Pur Sang.. pure blood - pure passion at the company

[@daltonv5206]

Saw a couple old bugs at Goodwood. Awesome machines!!

[@AKATEATime]

A separate rear brake lever? For drifting, of course! :)

[@CenobiteBeldar]

I’ll take the Type 35 over the Chiron or whatever that newer car is.

[@RoverWaters]

evidently

[@15DEAN1995]

the video of the type 35 on the goodwood festival of speed hill climb is epic to watch :)

[@tanossgti]

old like mature?

[@adameaby]

No, like I'm tired of them

[@ImStuckInStockton]

@@adameaby Everyone gets old it's one of the few guarantees of life on Earth

[@-DC-]

Choice between the two I'd be in the 35 every time. Harris is the boss of car journalists.

[@aadithyen]

4:07 That reminds of Jeremy saying that the Veyron weighs more than most mountains, during the P1 review I think.

[@US-px7wc]

Proudly made in Argentina! Amazing

[@unicorn10yearsago98]

What the name of the background music @ 0:50 ??? It's beautiful

Thanks dude !

[@Parjesh888]

Thanks so much

[@ALAPINO]

The irony of a replica being made by a company named, "Pur Sang" (Pure Blood) is cute.

[@RoverWaters]

"pur sang" was terminology used for and by Buggatti in the 30's

[@Mullac23]

I would pay big money to try and see Chris drift that beauty xD

[@AleksandarGospic]

This video put big smile on my face, Chris, you are the best! :)

[@williamstone7544]

In case anyone was wondering what road this is as featured in Forza MotorSport 7 Jabal Hafeet, in dubai.

[@filbao8113]

It just looked like a middle Eastern road

[@godsilindustries5168]

Gorgeous. I am stratch building a 1:4 scale version of the Type 35 now.

[@Auto.Therapy]

Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 50 seconds??

[@zacharyohara9946]

Can someone tell me what the name of the music in the background is?

[@252Scooby]

Is that the same road they had the race with Harris and le blanc

[@Mr_Shite]

is it me or does chris harris look absolutely the business in this car. its almost like they were made for each other

[@StopItRyan]

Chris Harris is the only good part of new Top Gear, but boy is it a really good part.

[@alan419barriga]

Thank you for making my day Chris's Harris

[@derpherbert3199]

Thanks for the old school chris harris content! Maybe next time even throw in an interview with a guy from production?

[@kal465]

*im gonna stop talking and smile* proceeds to start talking within 3 seconds

[@Kswhajakky]

I m starting to actually feel better that the Old Top Gear has been disbanded . Now we have two great shows to watch, one featuring the old presenters ( The Grand Tour) and the other featuring Chris Harris which is one of the best reviewers and car drivers out there! Guys, don't get mad ... now this is just more for us to watch and enjoy.

[@jumpman120]

Wow really better presentation of cars than other program

[@rupertvega-rice4724]

Love the car. Love Chris Harris. Little worried about Mr Harris getting sun stroke here.

[@LeonardoBruno54]

Can the rear brake leaver be used as a hand brake??

[@retroracingshirt591]

that's the main purpose pedal is on all 4.

[@rowancucanic]

Chris Harris and joey from friends are the only reasons to watch top gear

[@chandlergreff3113]

WHAT +S THE NAME OF THE MUSIC I LUV IT!!!!

[@markpenrice6253]

Wait, a 2-litre, supercharged... straight-8? That just makes it more amazing. Even if it's just two old 1-litre Polo engines welded together and given the forced inducting of their lives. Is that accurate to the original car? And if so ... what kind of power were they even getting from that setup, in the 1920s? Even 150hp would probably be pretty impressive (and with something so lightweight, would still absolutely belt along, like a four-wheeled motorbike), especially given Bentley and others typically putting much, MUCH bigger engines in their racing cars. And it'd kind of add weight to the classic Ettinore quote about "the world's fastest lorry". (and, well, if it IS two generic 999cc - or 1043cc? - VW engines plus a meaty charger, squeezing even 200hp out of the replica would be good going ... and more than enough for some pramwheel tyre-squealing taildrifty fun)

[@Aron-ru5zk]

Mark Penrice the only difference between the replicas engine and the original is the replica uses regular crankshaft bearings instead of roller bearings that wear out after 5000 miles, and the originals had around 140 hp which was around 3x the equivalent ford that most people who even had cars had back then, the replica has around 180hp

[@RoverWaters]

calm down noob

[@TheJamesbomfray]

Our grandparents were real heroes for have driving vehicles like this.

[@MatiLopez_]

Wow man, love your bugatti videos, upload more of that style please

[@bobcraft9597]

Where/when could you drive it in England?

Chris Harris reminds me of a mischievous valet who sneaks off with his customer's cars and joyrides them.

I believe the Bugatti Spaghetti model is overdue.

[@jamespatagueule9013]

you talk about the EB 110 ?

[@Geoff900]

Love the noise of that Engine.

[@ChristopherOvrebo]

Why are the front tires all positive cambered out?

[@crusherbmx]

$ 250,000 for a hand built exact replica of a Type 35? BARGAIN! I'd buy 8 and thrash the hell out of 7 of them...

[@hendrahendra]

Anyone know why most of these old racing cars have lots of positive front chamber?

[@Peppermint1]

Just get rid of that side wheel, the owner won't be able to replace it anyway. The 35 model is such a beauty 100 years later.

[@alundrasrt]

It's our duty to never forget that cars are machinery and skills.

Top gear realizes without Chris Harris they are nothing.

[@Gelenvader3]

For those who are saying bring the old top gear back, this isn't even top gear. This is Chris Harris on cars. It's Chris's own show but it's now distributed by top gear and lease the title since he's on contract with them. So don't say bring Clarkson back to something he was never In

[@Gelenvader3]

Furthermore stop complaining you're getting constant uploads and content which was something top gear never offered before and you guys have grand tour
