Top Gear - Bugatti Veyron RANT By Jeremy Clarkson

[@steveworrell]

100 quid to fill up a 100 litre tank...😭

[@BiggyJimbo]

Yeah, that was depressing to hear

[@newwi]

Tbh it's now a grand

[@kaiczuplak9133]

And the fact that it was the most expensive car at 840,000£

[@AverageAlien]

£1 in the year 2000 was the equivalent of £1.64 today so it was actually more expensive than today lol

[@TiagoFerreira20930]

The Veyron is, quite probably, one of (if not THE) best car that was ever built. You might think: "MMMMH The Agera is much faster!" "Mmmh the Chiron obliterates it easily." "Mmmh its useless and slow and heavy around a track." You are right. You are absolutely right. But you need to understand the importance of the car, in which parameters and circumstances that it was built. This car achieved what everyone believed to be impossible: to have a car going over 390km/h, managing to keep itself on the ground, without every stitch, every trim smashing themselves to pieces as they come off and (most importantly) do it so comfortably. Say whatever you want but this car is the daddy for the modern hypercar. It is thanks to this very car that nowadays we have others like the Agera, Jesko, Huayra and Chiron to name a few. This car and VW deserve the upmost respect for achieving such goals.

and this 18 year ago

[@rainbowappleslice]

One of the things that dated this the most was when he said it cost £100 to fill its 100 litre tank

[@scsutton1]

£100 wouldn't even get you half a tank today.

[@nuckels188]

Here i am complaining about $3.60 a gallon for gas in the US (i'm not political but it used to be $2 before obama and biden, both of whom raised prices by over 50% for no reason at all) meanwhile you brits pay twice that

[@reececollison5101]

“It’s got a 100l tank, so £100 to fill it” *Enter 2022*

[@dazzaMusic]

“Best car we’ll see in our lifetime” Bugatti Chiron slowly drives in

[@r32fan92]

And agera rs, and Chiron 300, and Jesko absolut

[@beardedgeek973]

@@r32fan92 Never understoood the hype for Koenigeggs . Fast yes. Good looking?`No. Driveable? Heck no.

[@sarki4816]

@@beardedgeek973 That's your opinion lol, a lot of people think the koegnigsegg are good looking while they hate the look of the bugattis. Personally I like both. and I don't know what you mean by the fact they ain't drivable. They may not be the most fuel efficient car but they sure as hell are steady and have great steering control.

[@juanmartincamussi9465]

Even though the Chiron is better in practically every way, the Veyron was waaay harder to make, since it was 100% developed from nothing. The Chiron continued where the Veyron left, that's why now a days they can sell a chiron for about 3M and still get some profit out of it

[@vitamc1213]

I don't know, I think I'll always prefer the Veyron over any other hypercar. Onlu because it's the car that really blew the world away. Everything else that cam after was a natural progression. But this was a giant leap.

[@abelincoln4374]

One company did it again, made the cars at a loss and engineered the hell out of them. It also recieved heaps of praise from Jeremy, and in my opinion is maybe the best sounding car ever made. The Lexus LFA.

[@buff9267]

such a stupidly awesome engine..

[@the-boring-car-guy]

Sadly it's now going out of production

[@Mr.Cerera69]

​@the-boring-car-guy W16 yes but Bugatti announced that new cars will have V16

[@WarThnderMudnen76]

Ranting is negative. That's not what Jezza seems to be doing here.

[@shriharihudli8596]

He’s raving, as Hammond said.

[@ivorharden]

The car in the studio was a prototype. Notice the side vents at 1:36

[@Jonathan07ta]

I noticed that looks sick

[@3xoticG4m3r]

1:54 now f1 cars have over 1000 horses and the gearbox has to last about 8 races, trainings and qualis at full speed - which is pretty impressive

[@therickman1990]

True but this has way more torque. The only way an F1 car with it's small engine displacement can make power is with high rpm. A Golf R likely has more torque then an F1 car. And like Jeremy said it has to last waaaaay longer, years instead of 2/3 of a race season. And the car is 2,5 times heavier then an F1 car, which also puts more strain on the drivetrain.

[@Snek_1000]

And mind you, this was in 2005/2006, when the engineering was absolutely nowhere near what it is today. Not that they were in the stone age back then, but still

[@xela6796]

But what about Jeremy saying it would never come out, because it was impossible :D Was hoping they'd bring it up here.

[@MitchellfcNa32]

He said the Very-on would never come out, he never said anything about the Veyron

[@B4R0N.]

Nothing ever quite hit the same as the Veyron originally did.

[@nuckels188]

Ugly

[@jonnnyren6245]

This is a rant. A rant on just how beautiful this car is to Clarkson and how frustrating it is to believe for a second how a car like this was made. But honestly I never liked the Veyron. But it is insanely fast.

Series 7 episode 5

100l 100£..good ol times

[@053P.K]

By far his favourite car….you just can tell 😅

[@applejuice5272]

Ricardo PLC for anyone wondering about the company which manufactures the gearbox

[@Mr.Cerera69]

I used to deliver parts into their facility in Shoreham-By-Sea. Also used to send Ford prototypes on trailers for testing. My drivers mentioned that there many different supercars parked other there for testing purposes. Grea facility.

[@amgnaciri5937]

Which episode season is this,?

[@kingofrivia1248]

I know its just a show and a lot is scripted but am i the only one who genuinely respects jeremys opinions? You cans ay what you want but normally i dont care one bit about celebritys opninion but i just trust him😂😂

[@YourAverageCarFan]

When he mentioned the shitty fuel consumption I was speechless

[@Sneakergod23]

F1 think it’s the best 😭

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

Clarkson is worth millions why doesnt he just buy one

[@mmtot]

Back in 2005 he was nowhere near as minted.

It was the prototype of the veyron. Makes you wonder why they removed while it looks so cool.
