"Max Venturi" is the exact sort of name I'd expect a Lambo test driver to have.
That's the sole reason he was hired
Yeah they jokes about that on the show. He replaced the old driver Valentino Balboni
I'd assume he's the guy running the venturi formula e team
My name’s Velociraptor Clint-thrust. Can I test drive Ferraris?
VENTURI

James May's was the best achievement. He got to within 4 mph of the McLarens top speed.
more like achievement for the car really
The biggest achievement was for Hammond even attempting such a high speed run!
celt67 was just thinking the same thing
Than he should have driven a Fiat Punto and just get to 90 and win.
Sejo323 then he would have had Richard and Jeremy coming past at crazy speeds on a banked circuit. 😬
I like how Clarkson was going nuts, screaming and cursing yet May was just sitting quiet and peacefully
Buffeting.
because Clarkson said that McLaren has Rolls Royce level of comfort in a fast supercar so its' suspensions absorbs those jumps better than the Aventador hence the difference between expressions. or at least that's how I think
May got closest to his actual top speed lmao
That's why May was chosen to max the Bugattis
well that mclaren has amazing suspension, plus he's done 258 in a veyron
“I do respect the midget for doing this”😂😂😂😂
Best line 😂😂
And not crashing
The Midget only beat him because he's smaller so less weight helped the Speeding rat go Faster in the Noble over the Orangutan. 😂 lol
Does anyone knows which was his last crash that jeremy was talking about?
@@arberanagnosti4500 Probably the drag race crash which happened during season 9 episode 1
Hammond's got some bravery. Man almost died going a crazy high speed in a crazy car and then he did THIS.
high speed twice, let's not forget
You can like the McLaren, want the Lamborghini, but you have to respect the Noble.
But you end up owning a Lada XD
deonisp you made me lol hard
Vagif Hasanli Yeah, I'd take the noble. The most exclusive car there and purely driver focused.
The lambo got more. It got grip and a screaming V12 that kick yo ass if you dare touching the paddle shifter. And it spit blue flames
Couldn't agree more. I'd take The noble, The sound alone is euphoric. Pure mechanical music
When top gear was top gear..I miss this.
i miss Harambe
Get over him. A lot more die in my home country despite our national Motto being 'Harambee'. Stop making a fuss over petty issues and donate address the bigger problem in Africa that is poaching instead.

Its proper horsepower,blueblooded real horsepower. This line always thrills me
James would say it impresses yahoos
🤣
Enunciate your diction like Clarkson and you can get anyone interested in what you have to say
But Lamborghini is owned by VW which is German so wouldn't that be cow power?
But it's from a tractor. :P
one of the greatest pieces of the top gear production team! you truly feel the terror from 6:08 to 6:18 thanks to that sound and jeremy's shouting.
Yes! The background music was Ligeti Requiem, you may have heard it in 2001 space odyssey
I thought the broke the sound barrier for a sec ngl 😅
@@messergranata9618 I KNEW IT
@@4dra if you know anything about sound... they weren't even close
Tbh can’t agree more
The BBC will never come close to how epic these three were. Cant wait for their new series to air. 36 episodes over 3 seasons. Not some 6 episode half a season bullshit.
Agreed! The BBC made a massive mistake in Firing Jeremy! Big, Huge, Massive!
TrippyMayne THat wasnt actually exactly what happened.....Thats what the beeb told us, but other people have gone into more detail.
The Grand Tour is even better than Top Gear with these 3
LeBlanc is pretty good, though.
This just proves how good the noble is, Lamborghini and mclaren both sent engineers to make sure the cars were in perfect condition for the test, and the noble just had the short man, and still won
And blew it’s clutch out the next day.
(Although in fairness it was doing 205mph on a banked circuit)
@@michaelm5542 It was the only manual car here if i'm not mistaken
@@maks.tardis8304 it was indeed! Others are flappy paddle.
2:47
- I was sad when I heard that back in 2012 but it’s 2019 and still the V12 is alive 👌❤️
Not really tbh. Its the same V12 being used, so it is indeed the last one. Don't think lambo will develop another V12, they'll just tweak this one for as long as possible nd keep adding another 10-12hp.
Nick G. Yeah! There’s no way the V12 is going to die out any time soon! Probably never as long as Italian supercars like Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, and Pagani’s are still around!
@@ethanschmid4104 Or Rolls Royce and other Luxury cars. Those V12's are so smooth.
Ferrari still use V12s in the 812 superfast, and aston also still use V12s in the supperlegera
richboy900 how about the upcoming aston martin valkyrie with its glorious cosworth v12
There is a cat walking at 1:22
Curiosity will kill that cat...

Some say, that cat is the stig.

buffeting...
Me watching this vid: Buffering!
buffering...
😂😂😂😂
May should never hop on a fast motorcycle, he would be screaming "Buffeting" non-stop
Haha
This is one of the few best fear moments on top gear, its far from scripted and you can see the three of them bouncing in their seats as result of how terrifying the car jumping is.
This was well done.
"All four tyres are the same makes.....there's air in 'em" *kicks tyre* lmao
the look of terror on Jeremy's face when he starts swearing says it all
"Not just... Put together to impress yahoos."
:D
If the Noble M600 is "put together to impress yahoos", then consider me a YAHOO, and an IMPRESSED one at that! :P
(I partly agree with James though lol, McLaren truly is like the NASA of supercars, and they've always been a favorite of mine! :)
cybertree same case on the Lambo :D
6:08 You know that is too quick when Jeremy is scared
I like how James is so chill in the car. Doing 201 mph in the McLaren is clearly nothing compared to the two Veyron runs he did before. :)
captain slow looks relax on his car... not like hammond and jeremy
May is also in the car with by far the most technology. It's no wonder Hammond doesn't look relaxed, the noble has almost nothing to help him
Hes relax cause he already reached the top speed of the veyron, twice. Imagine what he went through. Hes used to fast speeds.
Bensaves Not to mention no ABS and other arcane design decisions. Hammster has brass freaking balls to do this run!
He was probably so utterly focused and concentrated that he forgot to show any emotion
True, let's not forget that for about an hour or so, May held the speed record in the Veyron Super Sport.
The way Jeremy narrates his part just goes to show that he knows how to play with the audience's emotions
I love how they make 300 km/h seem super fast on a track, never knew it would be THAT fast
Jumping at 200 mph.....scary.
"Does Noble not have a workshop here?" lol I got a nostalgia rush. I miss TG Jeremy.
Taping those telemetry hardware to the outside interferes with the aerodynamics, especially at those speeds.
This is ####ing quick
Mate this isn't roblox why tf are you tagging out your own swear words
@@god1284 first of all your bringing something up from 4 years ago. and second of all i was literally quoting from the vid as they do censor that quote
This was one of the most epic challenges they ever did.
I came here looking for the Volkswagen Nardo. If Top Gear haven't driven it, they should.
I doubt they'd be able to test it with only three of them in the world...
DeusExMJ12 They were allowed to test the unique Mazda Furai... we all know how that went.
Peps Persson and that monster of a g wagon
James Went past 400 kph on VW nardo ring :p
cloridan Beauchamps there's actually 13 nardos
4 where purified race cars
I still got the newspaper of when they where launched in a small production.
One of very few times I've seen actual, genuine fear on Jeremy's face. Watching this made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, I don't think anybody could even fathom going over 200 miles an hour
Always count on a VOLVO engine.
@Jérémie Charles Johnson youre kinda late mate.
5:51 when I step on the scales after a big meal
"Do we need to tack" is an underrated quip
The guy in the MP4 was very relaxed and calm compared to the other two.
It's Captain Slow, he was pretty relaxed when he was going 250 mph in a Veyron too
PillzSufrie
Haha. I like this guy!
That's always.Lol
+Umar Abdarazaq Ibn Tariq Najm Alfareed Berrestoon He has experience, he took the veyron to the top speed
PillzSufrie aka Mr. Slowly
I love how the music almost gives you the scary to death feeling they have while doing this.
Richard Hammond; guts.
The absolute sense of speed and thrill that the editing gives is amazing
Clarkson is right though. Big respect for Hammond, must have been terrifying.
honestly 50% of this show is how good the camera crew is and the editing of the videos. Really superb.
Those men, the cars, the track, the warnings, the music, the suspence, the blood rush.. a true top gear classic.
The Noble.....such a great yet such an underappreciated car,it really is a shame not many know about it.....
Credit to Richard ; I wouldn’t have the guts to do *this* ! just watching him makes me anxious, especially after his high speed car accident in the Vampire .
This is one the best made episodes of Top Gear ever and one of my favorites.
Whenever the editors break out the Holst Planets Suite, you know it’s gonna be a good sequence.
Highest respect for Mr. Richard, he drove that speed on... Noble!
Technically James won, get got the closest to his top speed
Doesnt matter, the challenge was who would go the fastest. So 201 mph is 201 mph anywhere
Paul Benjamin yeah but, mclareen is slowest of the three so its "hard" to get top speed in circle so james is maybe winner
@@soawn29 yes, he would be the winner if the challenge was who could get the closest to their cars' top speed.
@@soawn29 the challenge wasnt who can get closest to their top speed. The challenge was who can go fastest
Zack E its harder to get high speed if car is slower, both three cars can go over 300 kph but mclaren is slowest to 300 kph... so James was going fast as much as he could almost
its amazing how those three can make a 7 minute video of cars going round and round in a circle amazing.
This is a classic episode. One of the best.
i love how the subtitles describe the lambos engine sound as music
0:47 OMG!!!....The driver is catching that private plane in the upper right corner! That`s too fast!
It's the camera man plane
that noble is so damn good looking car!!! :)
...
If your here to copy someone's comment go suck a truck
Shaf Hoque how do you suck a truck exactly?
leon23051992 2nd to the Lambo.
nope...
I'll never forget this topgear episode & how it had me at the edge of my seat the entire speed test. amazing episode.
"Buffeting" :D
That noble got no abs, no 4 wheels drive what so ever. Richard was flying
damn james almost maxed the 12c!!
1:24 cat spotted behind James. Maybe he is the Noble technician who can't be bothered .
Came for this comment. Did not disappoint.
Love how amongst the best 8 minutes of Top Gear, 1:23 becomes a highlight.
Love how James is completely relaxed. After all he's already been to 417kph ^^
1:02 oh look it’s mr worldwide
ahahahahah
it's 2020 and i'm still watching! who's with me!
Captain Slow was actually the most chill at 200mp/h+
This is one of my favorite episodes because of the cars in it, especially the Mclaren. The other day I was so excited to see that they'd added some new episodes to Netflix, but my happiness was destroyed when I saw that it was the newest seasons that such. Plus they'd taken off the first season they had of the show which was the one with this episode.
1:23
Cat be chilling in background
"no car can reach its true top speed here"
volkswagen typ 1: hold my 2cyl
Awesome how Hammond won with the highest top speed in this.
Considering it was after his 300mph rocket car crash. Respect.
guys at Top Gear know how to edit. They keep me hangin at the edge of my sit
It is such a nostalgia to watch these three together on the track I really miss the good old top gear series
This always gives me goosebumps whenever I watch this
Thanks to mclaren's suspension, not much vibration created.
Not how a comma works
Id take the Noble. I love the way it looks and sounds plus its such a pure driver. Oh and that rear end omg
6:10-6:18 Ears are bleeding.
Wear earphones. U will die, coz of internal bleeding
Reeeeeeeee
5:00-5:20 That's a pretty creepy soundtrack playing in the background.

I want to do this so bad!!
+Edward Horsey james hamond look like stewie from family guy :D
+Edward Horsey Trust me, you don't.
Omg I might be able to do this. If you could, would you want to?
+snoW Man
Who is ''James Hammond''?
Do it in the public roads. True heroes would max out their cars on the publix roads even if might kill someone haha
Haven't watched this show for 3 years and its good to be back
One of my favorite segments from Top Gear
So basically "jumping" is when the car starts to violently shake during high speed?
+M. Jacobs Ok. Thanks.
At those speeds a minor deviation in the road surface can cause the car to "jump" left or right a few feet. If down-force is interrupted during a jump the car can become unstable and crash.
+Frank Gonzalez A cross wind can send you over also... that is happened to me. The old Le Mans cars being flat underneath tended to take off and flip O.o
MArk webber flying both in porsche and Mercedes
You might want to look into how the AMG CLK race cars did when it came to downforce and you'd get an extreme example of what can happen.
Remember when Richard wasn't afraid to die for SPEED!?
He got old
That 2001 Space Odyssey reference is actually really good, music gave me more chills than the movie
One of my favorite clips.
"COME ON!!"
5:04 my door is hard down now, 30-OH CROWKY MOses🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish I had this job lol
are you still alive??
7 years later and this still gives me goosebumps
Mars of the Planets as a soundtrack is so dope, I forget how good the music selection in Top Gear used to be
the voice of Jeremy Clarkson and sensational!
Buffeting, Buffeting
- James May
This is the best race I've ever seen in Top Gear! The Lambo is my favorite out of the three!
Captan slow drives more fast than must of us
+Precious MarioMarin ...If not all of us.
As always, great choice of music. "Mars" fits these cars perfectly!
DADADADA DA
DA DA DA
I can only imagine how scary it must feel driving at such insane speeds.. on a curve !!😬💯
5:50 - 6:02 This is how I feel playing Gran Turismo. Calling out your speed, getting faster & FASTER! COME ON!!!
Now this is a proper episode showcasing the top speed of a car.
3:18 is the thumbnail picture.
I've met a lot of guys from the states that say they would never buy an exotic car because their muscle cars can be built faster for cheaper. I would like to see them try that in any American muscle car and come out alive when they're finished. You have to respect the sheer speed that these cars can achieve. And it's all because of the unbelievable engineering. That's why I love supercars. The time and engineering that goes into every single supercar is astonishing. And it makes them worth the price in my opinion. I've been a passenger in many exotic cars, the fastest was a 2017 Aventador S. But the one I went the fastest in was a 2016 R8 V10. The driver was being a bit of a moron, we were on this big 4 lane highway pretty early in the morning. He was test driving the car and brought me along with him. There was this massive straight with barely any traffic that went on for miles. So he decided to "see what the car could do". Well by the end of the straight we blew past a highway patroller at whatever the top of 6th gear is in an R8. About 10 seconds before we passed the cop I saw 301kph indicated so we were going even faster than that by the time we got to the cop. Insanely stupid, we could've died so easily. I feel slightly less stupid because I wasn't the one driving, but still. The cop didn't didn't even try, we just took the next exit then got back on the highway then took some weird routes to try and confuse him if he was looking for us, and it seemed to work. But yeah that was on a flat highway with new pavement in a more modern car than what they were in when they did this challenge. It would take some serious skill, car control, and balls to drive that track at that speed. Especially Hammond, considering he'd already had a life threatening accident doing the exact same thing. And his car was the least prepared, the least advanced, the most powerful, the rear end gives out insanely easy in those, and it's a manual. That actually makes a huge difference. He's having to take a hand off the wheel to change gears. I would definitely want paddles in that situation. But yeah props to the cars and drivers
never gets old these videos
That background noise at 6:08 *really* sells you on just how bloody terrifying this actually is. This is 3 guys, none of which professional racing drivers, barrelling round an uneven track at a constant angle, going 200mph+.
I’m freaking out from the comfort of my bed watching them go that fast... 😅
