[@sct913]

Watching this again (it's one of my favorite Top Gear races), I went back and paused it at 6:49 to closely read the parts list for Clarkson's Maserati. Now I'm not an expert on Mazaratis by any means. However, the parts list suggests to me that, far from the previous owner just adding an SS badge (for whatever reason) to the back, the car was actually involved in a minor rear-end collision (one clue - BOTH the SS and Marek badges were replaced, as were other parts that suggest damage). If this is correct, the car was really a SS.

[@Marcushalberstram749]

True, and the engine rebuild also suggests to some extent a collision

[@razor9635]

sct913 add the fact that the front grille between the pop up headlights on Jeremy's car is a SS only feature...

[@Septimus_ii]

So it really did drop from 220 hp to 80

[@1SaG]

Despite what Clarkson said, the Merak was indeed an SS-version. I found the car on a UK dealer's website a few years after this first aired and they basically said that he was talking rubbish.

[@aaryeshg.6526]

So the engine wasn't exactly rebuilt correctly lol. It could handle low revs but when he revved it on the track it nearly broke. 🤣 Poor Merak SS...

[@Geographus666]

If the former owner of the Merak added the "SS"-badge he also changed the bonnet in the front, because AFAIK only the Merak SS had that black grille betwenn the pop-up headlights. I think Jeremy knew his engine was rubbish, saw the badge in the service documents and quickly took his chance to "reduce" the original horsepower of his engine for the upcoming test.

[@amer-du6qh]

Most likely there was an accident in the past as the other items on that service history point mostly to the engine. Seems like the engine hoses and such were replaced, but the pistons and main engine components were left untouched. Which probably explains the lack of power on the test platform. Looks like the accident occurred on the side of which the badge was located.

4:57 the most iconic RH dance

[@mischiefpwns]

255 hp was from the flywheel for the Ferrari. You can figure a 15% loss on the dyno which means it would make 217hp from the factory. so that Ferrari only lost like 20ish hp in 30 years. That’s pretty incredible.

[@shantygaming694]

The Dyno calculated the flywheel horsepower, not wheel. As James said in the video. The machine can calculate the drivetrain drag by letting the car coast after doing a dyno pull. So the HP figure for all the cars was the HP at the flywheel.

[@NormAppleton]

More like 180

There's a petrol head. I agree 100%. Those young punks (im 22, but im just refering to know-it-all geeks who say newer is better) better say nothing, in the old day it was care of detail that mattered, not perfectionism and obsessively controlling everything. not to mention the last good looking cars came in 2008, the 90's were best. Now its all laptops on wheels , with 5000 suspension, tractioncontrol and gear settings you dont need. And then, they downsize, put start/stop, systems that shut down half of cyilinders and hybrids on it. And ugly windtunnel obsessed bodies and vulgar big headlamps and curves are no where to be seen, only folds so that pedestrians who are hit wont be hurt too much. IDIOTS! In the 70's they had REAL cars, which you could LOVE, instead of mere machines with no soul and passion. Cars are fun, but governments, greenists, socialists and data autists destroy our glorious dream with their global inhuman shallow, and business like attitude.

1:05 - I waited for Jeremy to say "It's not a Ferrari!"

[@tirupatisrinivasaatmaraman8454]

Only thing that differentiates these guys from the new fanatics is their sense of humour. Jeremy, Richard and James never took this as a car show... They had so much fun.. a they didn't take this show like a car lesson or something.. love u guys.. topgear is never the same without u guys

[@mrhaast5053]

Props to the guy who conned Jeremy into thinking he had a Merak.

[@atraxr603]

haha, legends. So sad there is no more Top Gear. And eve if it comes back one day with different hosts that won't be it. JRJ or nothing.

220 horsepower in a 1970's Maserati Merak SS. Still more than a Subaru BRZ.

[@roji556]

And the BRZ is still better lol

[@MMSZoli]

BRZ looks nice, but I still prefer the Merak's fantastic shape (by Giurgiaro). Too bad you need to much money to buy and rebuild one.

[@2810Mad]

Still has more than my c class

[@1971irvin]

The Toyota Rav4 hybrid has 223 hp... Lol 😂

[@sarahdavidson1157]

My bright yellow 2001 Ford Escape is a v6 and I’m pretty sure it can give a little more power than Jeremy’s can 😂 although it also leaks coolant and the oil light only goes off when I accelerate. Old cars... gotta love ‘em

[@Curri95]

Took me this long to realize the song playing when Stig's driving the Astra is the same as the one playing in the Human-Machines War in The Animatrix
