Top Gear - Aston Martin DBR9 Power Lap

Top Gear Season 6 Episode 6

[@makavelithedon]

I remember watching this episode and till this day the sound of that car at 1:27 is just a thing of beauty, actually sounds like a full on jet.

[@bladactania]

Agreed. Brings a tear to my eye and a chill up my spine.

[@augustburnsorange1748]

this car will go down as one of the best sounding racecars ever made.

[@HardwareG33k]

yeah man, this and the Murcielago GT1 are just the absolute pinnacle

[@andyshepherd5067]

the lmp one aston was on anther level

[@joebooth67]

The first time I went to the Le Mans 24 the first 3 cars that came past me were this, the Morgan and the Corvette. Them 3 together sound absolutely beautiful!! And then a LMP2 went past and sounded like an angry wasp 😅

[@trottergraeme]

Mazda 787B has to be in with a shout...

[@JB-dy2sq]

It will definitely go down as one of the best sounding race cars of all time ❤

[@davidburrowsyt]

Song is called Window Licker by Aphex Twin. Engine raw on this whole clip is awesome though!

[@TheCrazyGinjer]

LOVE the sound!

[@Dethphunk]

I believe that's the one James May took it to southern Europe trip in Top Gear's search for the best road in Europe. As it is a racing car (no air conditioning), it is most uncomfortable for James in the hot southern European weather.

[@LordTwaddle]

Why is it they sent the one you CAN'T buy around but they didn't send the one you CAN buy?

[@RuudLang]

Iconic car

[@The0889449]

oh! this is my favorite car❤❤

[@ROCKSOLID19]

Its much faster with most probably previous Stig Ben Collins than the Ferrari FXX driven by Schumacher

[@JerryC25]

I watch this quarterly

[@SteveBUK73]

Me too. Goosebumps every time! That sound is incredible 🥰

[@thomaslax39]

Yep, I'm still waiting

[@Shenmoki]

Actually the Pagani was .3 of a second faster. While the Pagani engineers are very good, they don't contain the prowess and skill of Aston Martin racing. Not to mention the DBR9 has much shorter gears than the Zonda R

[@SonsOfHateSphere]

Dear Santa.....

[@undertake782]

Due to it's low torque engine, it relies on high revs to get the horsepower.

[@RelaxAndSmokeMeth]

Getting tired of my neighbors telling me I'm making too much noise in the morning.

[@peanuts2105]

Le Mans and AMLS winning monster

[@retroybd2780]

It's a shame the DBRS9 doesn't have more recognition. I think it would be a fantastic addition in racing games, especially.

This is one of the best sounding cars ever made, RIP the car industry now everything sounds like a fart and a vacumm

[@Minx5892]

E46325mod Lmp1 hybrids don't have sound but as Dr Ulbricht said "sound is wasted energy". I'd have a quiet car that blows my mind on its physics defying grip and speed than a loud car that is unreliable. GTE and GT3 still provides great sound, as does LMP2. So no, not every car sounds bad. And since when was Motorsport all about the sound anyway? Its about going fast, not going loud.

[@kierenboimufc5940]

Welcome Aston Martin 6.5L N/A at Le Mans

[@kierenboimufc5940]

jonny j race circuits pay for racing events to come to there tracks and they make money from ticket sales etc. For etc who’s going to watch quite cars at the spar 24 hours when all your see is just the car and won’t here them

[@kierenboimufc5940]

jonny j kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWeufmqNpJ5gaas can you watch these cars but with no noise at Le Mans listen 1:10 judd power !!!!!

[@danielbarladeanu762]

@@Minx5892 that s the biggest non sense ever. The sound was made because of the bigger engines and less restrictive technologies. Now adays there are way more forced induction engines wich are smaller and at the same level with the old bigger engines. Also most of the progress we ve seen in the past years is due to the advancements in the aero and suspension department. I hope that this clears everything up

[@puffrooster]

That sounds so awesome!

[@petarazhanix3351]

Just imagine the amount of downforce this car has. I have never seen a single car on top gear power lap that is able to flat out on follow through and still manage to turn right into the center of the track instead of the edge..

[@Penguin_of_Death]

Surely one of the most gorgeous race cars ever...and what a sound! Loved listening to these beasts roaring through the Porsche Curves at Le Mans in 2005

ITS THE BEST LOOKING RACE CAR XD

[@5hinydrums]

I need this in my driveway soon. By soon, I mean right now.

[@reclusingrecluse4835]

In terms of V12 car sounds, Aston Martin has some of the best sounding ones, the Vulcan, Valkyrie, and this, astonishing lineup

[@richardflood3058]

Why didn't they make another leaderboard for all the cars which are running on slicks like the Zonda R, FXX etc

[@bajanboyhood]

It's a full fledged factory race car

[@kierenboimufc5940]

Ricardo Yearwood and the zonda ain’t a road car or neither can it compete in any race as it hasn’t followed no regulations

Zonda R was 0.1 second faster, so basically it is the same.

Yeah, but the Zonda has 100 more horsepower.

[@TotalMotorsports]

He hit the rev limiter at 1:38 - that's the missing .1s ;-)

[@_Siptah]

thr zonda r is a .01 seconds faster lmao wtf

[@SuperHurtman]

This car was racing in GT1, that means they needed to obey under a lot of rules and regulations. Zonda R didn't have any rules and regulations to obey...just saying.

[@joer7692]

SuperHurtman annddddd the dbr9 is around 200,000 where as the zonda r is around 2 mil. But that zonda r is pretty sexy too

[@Catalina._]

[@fabsalomon85]

Also the Zonda isn't designed to last a 24 hour race

[@kierenboimufc5940]

Katheryn DBRS9 sounds better than the DBR9

[@danobrien2468]

@xtoderzx The DBR9 is Aston Martins works car, so that has all the money spent developing it for the series it races in. Only Aston Martin own them cars (there's only a handful of DBR9s in the world). The DBRS9 is the 'tuned-down' version of the DBR9 which you CAN buy from Aston. They won't let you buy a full DBR9 incase you out race them one day... it'd be a bit embarrassing for them :)

[@billysino]

Never have I ever not regret putting my volume to max while using headphones...

[@HouseDuke]

Nowadays 175 thousand pounds sounds like refueling a lorry. I´d still have the Aston though...obviously!

[@SebbyHaughton]

Muhahaha! Zonda R was a tenth faster than this! Still a great car though.

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

£175,000 for a GT3 car? How much is that in today's money in USD?

[@marsgal42]

...and 14 years later 0-60 in 3.4 seconds only rates a 9/10 on the DougScore.

[@brent07]

The engine itself replaced the stereo. If you know what I mean

[@rotorblade9508]

That’s (and equivalent gt3’s)what I would choose as the reference car for lap times to compare in a street legal. Whatever car can approach that is seriously quick. Imagine that it takes something like a Pagani Zonda R to go near that time. Other quick and cheap cars that can do it are kit cars under 500kg/200hp+ (like Radical) but these are not street legal and the street legal version are heavier and although more powerful they are slower, except maybe the radical rxc.

[@Gameday2159]

I've seen this video at least 20 times just because i love that exhaust note!

[@adonislimes6156]

This thing is just god in a vehicular disguise.... the noise, the looks!! You'd need something north of a Zonda R or and LMP-1 to out sprint this thing around a track

[@DjoleBravo]

It would also fail at crossing the sleeping policeman.

[@DarkstarNovembr]

I didn't want to thumb up, because the uploader specifically asked for it. But that sound is just too good not to...

[@WorldWideRush]

I second that. When I found out GT1 folded and I wouldn't get to see this beauty race anymore, I was absolutely crushed.

[@TheRabbitFear]

wow that smashes even newer cars records the current record is 1.13.8 by the new pagani huayra

[@TheFlatCapFromWN5]

But the DBR9 uses slick tyres which offers a massive advantage. The Huayra only uses sports tyres, so for the Huayra to be only 5 seconds slower is incredible.

[@TheBoyChur]

Matt 'Khandricar' Claypole the hyura used well i dont know if they are legal tyres

[@Fahrenheart]

Matt 'Khandricar' Claypole The Huayra used modified Zonda R racing slicks. The road legality for those are questionable.

[@kevinskipp8016]

Dbr9 is a track car. That exhaust and emissions are no good and probably issues with the aero sticking out too far etc. as well as thr slick tyres

[@projectilequestion]

So apparently the Huaryra used slicks as well. I didn't believe that the slicks would make a big difference anyway, what is the point of buying a good car, if its only tires that truly make a difference.

[@dnnswlvs]

It's on Top Gear test track. What about on a track that has more straight road like Monza or Le Mans? Don't forget that Zonda R has 750 hp.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]
