"Chris Harris On Hair"
😂
Vintage Harris goodness
+HyperLeafBlower right? he looks like a muhammad now.
For some reason I had this video as a cd back in the day and I would re watch it every day..
Gotta be Chris "Guy Martin" Harris
chris harris is my favourite motor car reviewer by far , hope to see more of his great work soon
Damn, you called it
The Gallardo looks and sounds awesome
It should be illegal to dislike a Chris harris video lol
Did they remove the dislike, so it practically is
you're wish came true my friend
Volkswagen Group vs Aston Martin
Jesus look at Chris's hair! :O
+Ryan 9000 - Harris disproves the bullshit theory that if you're not bald by 30, you'll get to keep your hair.
99.9999% who criticize the veyron have never seen one let alone drive one.
Why would we want to? They hired an aerodynamicist to style it, and then slapped a horseshoe on the front. And it handles like a muscle car. However I do respect the speed record, even though it's now been taken by the Hennessy Venom.
Andy Cordell That rebuild Lotus or Venom or whatever did not take the record. Even if it did one day it's nothing but a death trap with no safety features. There is a reason why it's so light and it's not all thanks to being a rebuild Lotus. I can't even imagine why someone would even compare that car to a Bugatti. That would be if you never fathom what this car represents.
***** Doesn't matter. The car still looks like shit.
The Bugatti looks crap and I don't like what it stands for its just a big luxury barge with a vulgar engine
For that money, I'd get a Koeniggsegg.
"if you're that worried about your lap time run at nordschleife,learn to drive it faster!"
non existance of air condition, Chris Harris
super nice to revisit these videos. Great classics
the lambo drift at the start of the vid was immense!
In terms of power and speed the Veyron is still an undisputed king. But in terms of looks and style I think the DB9 is the best. This is my dream car. I have even concidered making a 1 to 1 model of it and putting it in the garden as an art object. One problem with that, the model wouldn't make the V12 sound.
Gracious. Chris looks like Mungo Jerry here.
Watching this Chris Harris video in 2019 with him having hair is soo surreal. It doesn't seem like it's him....AND THOSE SIDE BURN LORD
Chris Harris is/was with autocar?
Haha, first it was James May, now him.
This man is destined for greatness.
Chris Harris had hair!! So funny
I was thinking this must be an old video seeing as how the standard Veyron has 1001 BHP now. And I disagree with this guy below me, I think the Bugatti looks stunning.
@Collin Graves-Hubbell
If you really think the veyron has porsche acceleration, you obviously have never seen it accelerating, let alone driving it. I'll just leave a nice figure here: 0-200 Km/h 7.3 seconds. There's not one Porsche that can do that, well not 2 years ago. If you compare the veyron at top speed to the mclaren f1 at top speed, you'll find that the veyron is a lot more stable. And I assume you wanted to express how badly the veyron handles by comparing it to a muscle car, but it's nothing like a muscle car lol. Hey lookatme I'm drifting my veyron... no not gonna happen.
Some people just miss the whole point of the veyron.
It's surprising how much an impact the R8 still has on people after all this time. Even tho people for some reason don't call it fast anymore I still have a soft spot for the V8 version
The V8 R8 is a fast car, but its not a superhero car, for example the nissan GTR is a superhero car because most people can hop in it and go stupid speeds instantly, but the V8 R8 you have to drive it fairly hard to really get all the speed out of it. That being said i wouldnt mind owning a V8 R8 because im not a boy racer trying to roll race other cars on the freeway, imao.
you'd be mad to get the regular Gallardo over THAT one. People diss the Veyron so much, but if you think of it. It combines Aston/Bentley luxury, Ariel Atom acceleration, and out of this world top speed.
Actually a Veyron combines high end Audi luxury, Porsche acceleration, McLaren F1 (which is 20 years old) top speed, and muscle car handling, Not to mention the styling looks to have been done by the bosses dog.
Awesome to see Chris back doing reviews!
This vid is now used by sideburns anonymous.
Seán O'Nilbud Is it Mungo Jerry?
that gt3 rs driving is explendid!! Great job autocar! Specialy for you, chris! cheers!
Other than the Aston, these are some of my favorite cars.
this video is actually much older, it has only been upped to youtube by autocar 4 month ago but i remember seeing it in 2007 or so when the GT-R was far from being released.
Also today we already have the GT3 RS Gen2, while in this vid the Gen1 was just released, no DBS just the DB9 and no LP540 Gallardo which exists today.
Chris Harris? I thought it was guy Martin!
Ged Barrow He looks like Lupin III.
The lambo sounds amazing. Italians sure know how to make a car sound great. The GT3RS gotta be the best car in my opinion if you don´t count the Bugatti. And the Bugatti, man would I want that car in my garage =)
Chris Harris could be a character in NFS Carbon
That's how it's pronounced. The double LL's are silent. Great video ... love all those cars!
I was driving a Bugatti in a dream last night and it felt very good. Nice handling, good acceleration, and comfortable ride. I agree with this guy very much.
😹bro knows how the car feels from a dream
@speedsociety 1001hp is not 987 bhp. BHP is measured at the crank (most often) whereas hp is measured at the rear wheels. BHP is always higher than HP
Just keep tapping this link. 6:19 and speed camera flash at 7:11
Im waiting for the eurobeat to kick in every minute of the video
Wow. Thanks Chris, I never knew the bug was so competent around corners!
Back when the DB9 was just achingly beautiful. The last one before it'll be replaced looks, not as timeless.
im not missing the point and yes i can READ! and yes the gt3 rs is built for the track ... . and again removing the AC is NOT lazy. an AC is pretty heavy so why should they waste some hp for it? you have to think logical. what would you do to reduce weight? build it all out of carbon? just to keep the AC which you dont need on the track?
porsche becomes a part of the VW group at 1st august 2012. they announced it last week. the name VAG is also history
The Veyron is a moving demonstration of Automotive brilliance, every single thing about it is incredible to get your head around, it is Concorde on tarmac
OMG young Chris, lmao!
Very, very good sound at 1:21 :D
Chris Harris is damn good on the ol car reviews... where has he gone to now?
Best entry in bend i'v ever seen !!! 1:20
Brilliant cars. Depends on what you want to do with them and for how long it's practical.
wow those where some of the fastest cars back then how far we have come
4:36 that is how you bloody well drive man..oh my days :0
Drift at 1:20, bloody awesome!
Exactly, it's a stereotype, IE not true a lot of the time. Let me quote you:
"The seats and back trunk begin to fall apart within weeks". Therefore, the fact there are so many which are many years old and still original disproves this point instantly. On top of that, the new one's barely been out for weeks and is much better built inside. I'm not American, where did you get that from?
1:20 is the coolest thing in the world
This video is at least 2 years old. Why is showing up on my "subscriptions" page?
Steve, Chris and a bunch of delicious beasts ... best combination whatever happened with the office politics.
That Bugatti is like NO I ain't getting passed haha
yeah it uses some power when its ON. so thats just irrelevant (when youd want 100% out of your engine youd just have to turn it off). ACs weight a lot though which is why many "track" production cars dont have them...i mean porsche didnt even put door handles in the gt3 rs you think theyd overlook an AC system?
I think manufacturers like Ferrari, Porchse, BMW, Lamborghini etc should make some super exclusive world class cars like the Veyron too. At least they should try. Would be so amazing.
not so much of a turbo lag the biggest problem is that its hot and then is that trbo lag so if that engine colder (?) no turbo lag
I think most people do need it even on track. people buy it not only for track, It's 40 degree and I'm driving fun on freeway and there is no AC.
This is an old video. WTF Autocar? Still a cool vid.
I'm always a bit put off by how Chris pronounces "Leggera". Sure know a lot about Italian cars except how to call them. Easy enough to forgive though. Thanks for the good work.
I love how he makes the GT3 RS dance.....amazing!!!!!
@Rangeroversport12 oh sorry, you're right. but yea good point they shoulda used the dbs. thanks for correcting me
y does he keep complaining about noise??? its not noise its a beautiful symphony of the engines parts working together!
I thought that was chris but wasn't sure untill a few mins in, that lambo sounds amazing
WOAH at 4:37 - 4:40, that was sick.
the lambo sounds amazing....aston oozes class..... but the veyron is just astounding for sheer speed and acceleration.r8 needs a more powerful engine in it to put it into supercar class and the porshe looks so smooth
Man, I didn't know how small is Lamborghini. But also it has a beautiful sound. I don't know anymore if I like it or not.
Love the sound of that R8 in the drag race
Amazing Drift at 7:10
Actually he is right..... the Veyron actually makes 987hp, not the 1001 Bugatti and VAG claim because in Europe, horsepower is in measured and gauged as METRIC HORSEPOWER, which is going to be slightly less.
The 1001hp reading was a marketing thing as they could have said it makes 1000hp.... but that extra "1" makes people go crazy. Its a psychological thing.
Damn,what a hard choice.... for fun on track id go with the 911 and for all day use id like the Aston.because of its nice cabin .ugh the bugatti is another league.....
You really shouldn't call anyone an idiot, especially while screwing up such an easy sentence?
@sup3rcars it's not about weight,it's about weight balance.
I wish I had the tough choice of deciding between the 2!!
1:21 it really depends what type of guy you are, some may like fast noisy cars others may like simple fast enough cars but not lyk the Bugatti and all
Depending on the Spanish dialect, the LL is pronounced as a Y or a J. Not silent.
Awesome driving and balls of steel to be throwing millions of dollars worth of supercars around a wet hillside road. Great vid, I just love the sound of that Gallardo!
@coolvivian97 Accurate correction: 1001 metric horsepower = 987 bhp
Errrr, hasn't this been up for ages- why repost?
I think what he is getting at is that your average driving enthusiast isnt gonna be doing any noticable difference in lap times with air con fitted. Especially the Nurburgring!
autocar is british and brits always refer to bhp when they are talking about horsepower.
1001hp are exactly 987bhp
No, I am not stupid. And yes, it is. It does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and peaks at 212mph! That's faster than all of them except for the Veyron, and I said MOST, not ALL.
harris rockin some crazy sideburns here lol
look at the cars which are 100% made for the track. you will find out that alot of them got no AC and door handles. the gt3 rs is just a "racetrack" car which got a road license and where do you miss the door handles on a track?
No. Double Ls are only pronounced like a Y in spanish. Lamborghini and Gallardo is italian.
Whoahh!! THE SPOILER TRICK AT 5:19 IS FUCKING AWSOME !!! Is the car programmed to take out the spoiler over a certain speed or its the pilot who took it out??
no, it was uploaded 2 years ago. That´s the point.
Besides the price, I highly doubt that the Veyron handles better than say the Porsche GT3 RS or simelar.
On the Topgear testtrack it's only ~3rd or 4th dispite the it's huge power - it's simply to heavy and the suspension to soft
Btw: the - imo - best car in general (price+performance (not topspeed) +practicality) is the Audi R8 V10
@valentinorakesh theres something called weight and physics, i dont know if you have heard about it......
1:23, holy shit tht was some fucking good driving.
The Veyron is insanely loud and throaty. Just because it doesn't scream like the Gallardo doesn't mean it doesn't have a supercar noise.
I'd go for the Aston because it's luxurious and comfortable for everyday use but goes like hell if you want it to. It also seems that it doesn't shout at everyone that you're filthy rich. You ca'n't really say that about the other ones. The Bugatti is just in a class above obviously. Not really even comparable to the others in every aspect.
@kelloggcerealxoxo
no, that's the R8 - it has that aluminum side intake panel thing. Funny though, it does look a like cop car
@shayan130 uh, why would it weigh less if the DBS is the sportier version, I thought sportier versions weighed less
Chris say whatever you want for the show, but we know your choice is the GT3RS.
Last chris harris with hair .
does horse power make you lose your hair?
its amazing how this review is only slighty old yet every car here has been updated/replaced save for the veyron
those side burns were really something ;) Ali G is nearly in the same league
When I heard that Gallardo rev the first time I farted and shit myself....
@kalimanfeoli Maybe the Porsche isnt supposed to be exported halfway around the world to a different climate. Maybe for the same reason that Noone in Europe buys a heavy plastic American attempt at a sports car that has never heard of a corner.
Awesome driving! I loved seeing that Superleggera kick its tail out. Not a single car there that I wouldn't buy if I had the money.
3:24 omg great sound¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
