Jeremy Clarkson can explain everything with so many examples that it is just brilliant. No one comes close to him being funny while giving a car review.
He is awesome. So damn funny but serious at the same time.
"This car is more fun than watching the entire French air force crashing into a fireworks factory."
He's not a American car person is he ..
I wander why they bother
you didn't get a like from me lol
Just like the good old days, this was an exceptional review of an absolutely spellbinding car. It's amazing to think what a rather utilitarian company like Ford can pull off when they set their mind to it. I don't think there's one person on the planet that wouldn't say the top down view (looking at the roof etc...) is an absolute visual masterpiece. I don't think I've ever in my life seen a car that beautiful from that angle. Just. Perfect.
Yeah I find myself in a trance Every time I see a Ford GT from the top view. Its magnificent in every way!
Your comment aside, in your profile picture are you doing 'special' salute...?
@@canthandleit1377 haha. No but I can see how it looks that way in a little picture! It's more a yoga slash surfing pose on a super old piece of wood. Kind of the exact opposite mindset of 'that' stance 😜
@4:04 to be exact :D
I feel the same way about the Citicar. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it!
One thing I’ve noticed about Jeremy, no matter how much smack he may talk and jabs he me throw at a car, he still can’t hide his inner child smile. As soon as he opens the throttle, that smile comes out, even if it’s subtle. One thing I loved about Top Gear with Jeremy, Hammond, and James, was their friendship, the fun they had, and the genuine love for cars.
That and Jeremy’s “Speed and POWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”😂😂😂
What about you? Are you happy, do you have friends?
@@bernardbernabe7733 Hopefully they have
Perhaps the most beautiful car I've ever seen in person.
Fr? Living in eastern KY I rarely see nice cars-it’s a big deal when I go to see family in Pittsburgh and see a 911... that said there’s a lot of corvettes in KY specifically C8’s
Such an absolutely gorgeous car. I’ve never seen one in person.
They look completely different in person for some reason. They really are gorgeous in person.
It is beautiful in person but the Maclaren P1 so much better looking.
No it’s not. Its a v6. It’s trash.
Jeremy is the only Brit who STILL hasn't gotten over the Revolutionary War!
Well he was there, lost some good friends. It's personal for him.
(Sorry, I know, horrible joke.)

This show and the 3 gentlemen will always be timeless, thank you for all the years of entertainment.
Jeremy can't fully stomach complimenting an american car so he gives small critiques
Did that Ford succeed at Le mans?
His eternal inferiority complex towards everything that is American..
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 I think in 2016 yeah
@@barracuda7018 oh cmon, it's not a ferrari
He owned a ford gt at one point so I get the critiques. The car really could've done with a v8 or maybe even a twin turbo v8 like the koenigseggs
By far one of the best looking sports cars ever built.
Anyone who used to watch top gear would know that Jeremy absolutely adores the GT40, he used to have one. He tries to give a fair assessment of a supercar.
one... thought it was two because the first one broke.
The 2017 Ford GT is one of the best looking cars from the 2010-2020 decade in my opinion.
It's the perfect homage to the original GT with just the right amount of modernized design put into it. And you also have a really good amount of tech underneath.
And I respect Ford's decision to make this a track-focused car. Ferrari and McLaren and Porsche are a little too fixated on making a sort of "Super GT" car (with a couple of exceptions). Not that this is a bad thing in itself, but I like the fact that the Ford GT models have always been for the tracks first and foremost.
If I was a millionaire, it's buy this first. I don't think I'll become a millionaire and get super cars to stay pretty in my garage, I'll want to take them to the track and "appreciate" the car, not view it as an art piece. I'll get all the racing courses and qualifications I'll need and I'll be taking super cars to the tracks. I'll keep a Bugatti in the garage, because i don't want to die. Unless...
Super GT is what sells to the wealthy Elite/posers
I love how the new one captures the spirit of the old one. Raw, untamed and every step into the pedals are like injecting gasoline to your vein. Truly beautiful car
when James May went in for his recent haircut he showed the barber a picture of Bea Arthur
5:32 “And you’ve got to love it for that.” I can watch this forever, editing on top
I love how they cut him barking in with the music.
I can stare at a Ford GT all day. V6 with ecoboost which produces off 600 pony’s is more than okay with me.
One of my favourite cars of all time, probably only second to the original 2005 GT.
It's ok if the cost is reasonable. @450,000 USD it's a joke. That get's you a V12 Ferrari.
@@paulj9821 You have to realize this car is homologated. It's meant to be a Le Mans winning race car first, and everything else second. Like the GT40, it comes with heritage. This is nothing like a Ferrari, Lamborghini or a Mclaren. It's simply a purebred, handmade race car.
@@semiedgv agreed!
@@paulj9821 and this performs better. Will also appreciate not depreciate.
Proof that Ford can make a great car if they want to.
Well, there is no need to make a good cars... Cheap and economic cars win the race.
Clarkson is neither an engineer nor a trained expert with regards to car. If he says the car is overall bad, there is good reason for to buy it. Especially am American car.
Look at the 2020 Shelby GT500
Is that a V6 EcoBoost??
@@barracuda7018 yeah they usually do I had no idea, dodge, Gm and Ford all had records on the Nuremberg
One of the best looking sport cars ever made!! the air ways to the "wing" behind the doors are genius fantastic disign! aresome unbelivebil thats near perfect!!! Big RESPECT!!
Oh, I actually do think it's beautiful.
That was never a question.
It’s the best looking car in the world I think.
This is effective, extreme, nice to see but nothing compared to the art of Italian supercars
@@albertoboddi Made by Ford. Fiat couldn’t make something like this.
@@albertoboddi I honestly think the last beautiful Italian supercars were made in the 80's, the Boxer ,the 348 and the Daytona, and the great Maserati's, Bora, Khamsin, of the 70's. Ferrari and Maserati coach design has gone bad.
2:54....The chassis is made from pure telepathy...caught me there😂😂

It’s actually made from silicon carbide
@@jayn236 the chassis work really well in sync...
Jeremy Clarkson is definitely by far the best auto Journalist ever. Legend...
4:49 Love the slow zoom in on Clarkson's face
I can't wait to see new series of the grand tour including youtube videos.
Ford GT is really super powerful, and it's going to be a lot of cruising
Am going for it tomorrow, it's what I have in mind since last month
What a coincidence
Everyday cars are been produce different model and brand but later get outdate once a new one is being produce
I advice every one to go into Investment after a lot of profit then you can get the car of your dream
The best investment you can make in 2021 is cryptocurrency.
I had forgotten how gorgeous this thing is.
I'm not a big fan of Ford, but I think they did pretty well with the GT. And damn, it does look pretty good
I’d buy it over any lambo or Ferrari right now - different
Big facts
OK
Nah not over the laferrari.. especially the fxx-k evo
Not over a SF90
@@Mahi-ke7xr the GT40 definitely has more driving thrills and emotions than the sf90
Just an amazing piece of engineering...and a gorgeous-looking car.
Lets put it this way been to the US several times loved it good people! As for the GT I'd learn to live with one outside my home! Saying that Jezza was and is my fav of all the TG presenters his way with terminology is brilliant !
For a guy that craps on america every chance he fell in love with this and the viper
Didn't he love the ZR1 and then the Ford Velociraptor?
I thought he hated the viper
That’s honestly probably just the character they all play being british. I’m sure they all in reality have an appreciation for all cars... I mean they wouldn’t be good at their job if they didn’t
Americans don't really make nice cars, but if it's good, it's really good.
@@Bearical lmao Americans don't make good cars🤣🤣
Beautiful and awesome awesome is for that young soul in old body
The GT is a good example of a good looking ruffian, not an elitist, but he's ready to get his hands dirty when he needs to.
Best 8 mins of my day today thanks guys
I loved the original GT but this new one is truly phenomenal. Much want.
Ford GT is absolutely BEAUTIFUL wow
The legend will repeat itself for a third time. And what a legend it is.
Saw this at a car show the first year it came out. Such a beauty.
"It's like the chassis is made from pure telepathy."

FAST OR NOT . . . THIS CAR IS UTTERLY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!!
Such a beautiful machine!! Im so annoyed Ford didnt make 100 times as many! Also 1000% agree that a V8 would've given the car so much more personality. They should make a continuation series with the GT500's powertrain.
I wonder what about a V12...
You wouldn't be able to EcoBoost their current V8 block and keep the car light. I'm sure their GT's V6 block is just turned up for performance of their otherwise domestic EcoBoost engine.
It just means efficient engines when understressed also means performant engines when stressed.
I LOVE THIS SHOW 😁😁😁 2021 I HOPE IT NEVER ENDS
Beautiful car and I love the sound
That is definitely one of the best sounding V6 engines on the market, and you'll struggle to find one to buy even if you have the finances for it.
Always has and always will be my favourite car.
haha....the number of times I have shazamed the music...thanks guys :) love the show AND the music :)
Nice, sharp looking vehicle, love the track mode details
i miss this style of show
God i miss there car reviews, i wish they at least do reviews on drivetribe but i feel that they don’t have the passion anymore to do it
It's been like that for a few years, I think the Bugatti Veyron was the last really special car for them, they've said everything nowadays is very similar and boring
@@ciaranmcguinness8900 they do have a point, i feel maybe they will test the gordon Murray T50 and the aston martin valkyrie because these are the only interesting cars that are coming out
Me too - miss the old days of enthusiastic car reviews, from a team which worked so well together. Car enthusiasm is a dying hobby though - the war on ICE cars is being ramped up every year and will get the final death stab within the next decade. Electric and car enthusiasm does not mix
@@smileyv6938 Well... some people in Sweden must disagree. Koenigsegg is making some speed demons and a family car. haha.

@@j.r.b.7585 How old are you? Ffs
There are still a few. New Top Gear is largely forgettable, but when Chris Harris reviews a car it's normally worth a watch. Henry Catchpole on Carfection on CZcams does outstanding car reviews as well.
Jeremy's hatred for America makes it exceedingly difficult for him to say something good about anything made there.
As an American, I love his hatred. It fills me with joy.
@@barneyba it means our ancestors did something right circa 1776
@@Whitelightnin76 USA! USA! USA! This is good information from Jeremy (likely a great great grand nephew of Lord Cornwallis who surrendered to Genl Washington at Yorktown), though. My wife says if I should die by some mishap like being served oysters out of season or fall off of a faulty step-stool while mounting a crystal chandelier over her steel bathtub, she just might get one of these with my insurance money. Silly her, I'll never get myself into those sort of situations.
Was made in Canada btw
@@was786loaded ........It was just assembled up there at Multimatic to make it easier to hide. The rest was done in Ohio. It cannot be called a Canadian car, just as much as the NSX isn't American......Even though they build them in the U.S.

Before we ever see the last of Jeremy, James and Richard, I would LOVE to see one last road trip, race, like they had years ago. A whatever is the latest at that point in time driven by Jeremy vs James and Richard to wherever. I just miss those amazing days.
one of the most beautiful cars ever made. this latest design is jaw-droppingly beautiful.
The Ford GT is my favorite car😍😍😍😍
Beautiful spec.
It's much like the way he reviewed the Corvette back in the day, he said it was rough and rude but it was super fun to drive. Realistically isn't that what we all want?
@Karamjeet Grewal Are you crazy. Ferrari's are meant to be driven. Just because a handful of their rich pretentious owners use them as a display ornament for their garage collection doesn't mean everyone is following suit.
The two faster cars would probably break down at Le Mans.
Blisteringly good looking car . Fab review from JC
These Guys are the best!
I love the car, piece of the art. But one thing is dislike about it is she’s not manual, in the past Ford GT including the 1966. I prefer driving a Gt have a manual transmission like Ken Miles in his Ford wining Le Man
yeah this isnt 1963 grandpa, manuals dont win races compared to dct's. of course a manual option would be sick though
*I actually got to sit in a GT Heritage Edition at a local Cars & Coffee a couple years ago. Breathtaking car.*

That was so freaking amazing
I miss The Grand Tour...can ye do it again?
But instead of spreading wrecked, poorly modified junk all over places like outer Mongolia, could there be car journalism and some driving of fast machines again?

Oh how beautiful that thing is!
The song is "The Evil has Landed" by Queens of the Stone Age.
Totally perfect for this car.🤘
I knew the song but hadn’t listened to it for a while so this comment saved me lol

Most beautiful and under appreciated car ever
That car can be one of the best retro interpretations of all time
If the design of the exterior is what excites you about this car, then just know that would not be able to look like this with a V8. Won't fit and it's too heavy. I'll take "this" car, with the V6.
Now, when the next version of the GT comes around, well that's a different story.
Not "too heavy" at all. TT V6 is just as heavy, maybe even heavier than an NA V8.
@@sanctorum21 You gonna tell me that the EcoBoost V6 is heavier than the Supercharged V8 in the previous GT? Show me proof
@@queefreak666 Where did I say that a modern V6 is lighter than an OLD V8? Stop trying to make shitty strawman arguments when you are WELL AWARE of the point I'm making.
Take a V6 and a comparable V8, now add 2 turbos to the V6 and tell me that a V6 is lighter than a V8.
I think it was more due to the fact that if they had put a V8 it wouldve affected the design of the car. The car was designed for aerodynamics.i remember on a documentary of the Ford gt they said that they decided on a V6 because they wouldn't have been able to get the aero shape they wanted with a V8....I just cant stand Europeans, they for years say that Americans cant build a "proper" V6 because theyre obsessed with building smaller engines with a higher output...we built a car with a v6 that WON LEMANS!!! And all they can do is criticize it and say it wouldve been better had there been a big V8... they, no matter what will ever give us our due.. but that's kool because when we put our mind to it we ve accomplished anything we ve set out to do...
@@sanctorum21 Take the weight of a Twin Turbo 3.5 litre V6 of 440lbs and compare it to the weight of a 3.5 litre V8. Oh that's not fair because "Turbo". Ok, now we have to increase the displacement to say, 5.0 litres from the 445lb Coyote V8 to level the playing field. But wait, the Coyote only has about 450hp/420ft-lbs and the V6 has 647hp/550ft-lbs, what are we going to do? Ok, now add turbos or a supercharger to that Coyote and tell me how big it is and how much it weighs. I doubt if Ford is gonna put a McLaren or Ferrari V8 in the GT
This V6 sounds pretty good, IMO. Sounds a lot like the Porsches I hear at the track, except it doesn't rev as high as, say, a GT3.
If anybody pay 1million for a v6 they need be slapped . It’s to expensive for a Ford

@@khar_khuwa It sounds a lot more dignified and sophisticated than the old GT.
And the E-Type V12 never really got to roar, considering it went on sale pretty much right as the gas crunch and stupid emissions stuff happened.
