"This is Germany. There are procedures to follow. I like procedures" That's why you were chosen, James. I don't think VW trusted the other two not to do something stupid.
Even in 144p can we just take a moment to rejoice in the quality of this segment from when Top gear was at it's best. The 20 seconds either side of the 7:00 mark is just so well put together, especially at the point it clicks to 407KPH.
The cinematography and post production on Top gear was, and still is the best in the motoring sector on television, anywhere in the world... One of the things that us Brits are still world class at !
in crystal clear 144p
+Thigrandil that joke is lame
hahahaha. give this man a drink on me.
James is now captain fast
I do have to say though... the video production team never lets up. And they captured that moment of exhilaration at 250 mph perfectly. and good on Capt. Slow. I am happy for him to have experienced such a thing.
One of the best episodes they made; absolutely love the video editing and soundtrack. Comments are genius. Great episode!
The music that's playing when he's nearing top speed is an edited version of Duel of the Fates from Star Wars Ep. 1: The Phantom Menace.
At least some of it sounds very much like that in FFC's Dracula.
Could you reupload this with a few more pixels?
Screw it ill just download mouahahah
@@hjembrentkent6181 how do u make it higher quality tho
Whoever edited that shot of the Bugatti badge in at 7:07 is my favourite person - it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, even though I've seen this about 50 times.
I've driven about 155 mph (about 250km/h), and I thought that was insane, I can't imagine an extra 100 mph
What car was it
@@RohanSanjith bro asking 14 years later haha
@@RohanSanjiththe guys name is 350z
Fastest i've driven in a car is about 260km/h in a 2006 (i think) BMW 545 v8 which had the speed limiter removed. On 2 wheels i've also hit about 260km/h but to be honest that didn't feel very nice at all.
I wonder though, if i'd get a chance to drive the Veyron in a place like James has... How far would i get before i'd say enough is enough.
"Vlad the impaler is back."
I just love that!!
Honestly, this was a glorious moment in Top Gear. Capitan Slow is going 250mph
my honda crv limited edition would smoke that buggatti.
The unoffical speed record of an f1 car is 413 km/h (257mph)
The unofficial f1 speed record was set in 2006
Dawid Sopata indycar and CART can still go faster when not on an oval and optimized for speed, it is rumored that theoretically their top speed can be around 260-270
***** yes i know, but as long as they don't achieve that speed its irrelevant
Dawid Sopata true.
U Auzzie mate
This is shockingly good quality for 240p
Top Gear debunked falt earth before it was a thing!
First clip of top gear I’ve ever seen back in my first year of college.
God, time flies.
You can see the poor lad get choked up as he lets off the accelerator.. For any man, that kind of experience is nothing short of a religious moment and there is no substitute for slipping behind the wheel of yet another amazing engineering feat like this. I envy Captain Slow (not so slow anymore) and look forward to seeing many more great vehicles in the future of Top Gear = )
Very poor power to pixel-ratio in this video. Any hope on getting more px/h for this great video?
It's from 2008 what did you expect?
851995STARGATE at least 480p
@@851995STARGATE 2008, not 1968.
this video is done so nicely with the music and cuts, pleasure to watch, makes me want to drive that car
i love the part were the camera is at james may's face, and the world is speeding by in the refelection of his visor, because it reminds me of a scene from a space odessey 2001.
I feel like I'm going into hyper speed in my 97` Ford Taurus
Then you realise it is just the drugs
Joe B LOL!!

Me!

People just don't understand exactly what Bugatti achieved with this car. Its not just tuning a car, achieving such speeds and thats the end of it. Its about designing a car that can handle those speeds without shattering itself to pieces. Engine, drivetrain, gearbox, bodywork, chassis, everything must be perfect both at slow and super highspeeds. I mean, just imagine the amount of stress that gearbox must go through.
The Veyron is the first. Its the daddy of the Hypercar. Its thanks to the Veyron that we have the the speed demons of today.
Guys, you are the best in parking lot ... I love your show!
I like captain slow's speach with opening the door at 70 km/h. Very funny.
I think this footage is sped up, James May is incapable of going anywhere near this fast.
In 2008 HD YT uploads were not standard fare
Yes but 240p isn't even SD...
You are right, but 240p is the largest size the average person's mobile device could reliably load quickly, due to the speed of wireless networks. 3G had just come out for a lot of places around the world and not many people had it, so that's why its 240p, so most people using the regular cell network to connect could. Just two years later everyone anywhere had at least 3G, if not 4G or better, if you notice their 2010 uploads are full HD, and the lowest reso is 360p.

Well, it would be nice if they would take the time and replace the older videos with high quality versions of them.
SirLugash Watch it on Netflix or get the dvds if you care so much about the quality..
thejoser
Both are not available in my country... :(
Silence is golden, but I leave Zen for these precision inspirational vehicles. Ouch! Well presented and one of my personal favs. Thank you deeply for sharing this and thanks for CZcams for their inspirational design, connecting us all across this amazing planet in such a fun and entertaining way. I love ALL the styles as we are all Movie directors.

What's up with this shit resolutions in 21's century?!
VOLKSWAGEN AG!!!! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪 developed by them
Captain Slow is super fast: hooray for Captain Slow! I love the camera poiting at his eyes, it reminds me of "2001 a space odissey"
When you get utterly compelling segments like this it’s easy to see why at its peak Top Gear had 350 million weekly viewers around the world.
my 100cc motorcycle can do wopping 51.5 miles per hour
your gears don't go high enough
low-output motorcycles that could conceivably rev/hp high enough to go to motorway speed need quite high-ratio gearing to survive motorways
the koenigsegg is NOT faster and NOT better looking
I'll have to disagree with the better looking. The Koenigsegg is by far better looking.
stuckels
Depends on what you think is "fast". The Bugatti has the highest topspeed, thats right. But there a lots of cars that are faster around a racetrack. And this is what i call fast: Best lap time on Nürburgring for instans. (sorry for my poor english, i try my best :P )
Ehhh..That's where you're WAY off....Agera RS..Look that up.
Guys, you are the best in parking lot ... I love your show!
@AwesomeAlvin - sweet, I must have missed that, episode, I will have a little look for it. TY
I still remember the time I saw this for the first time when I was living in Pakistan. my teacher showed me this video back in 2008. I was just 10 years old at that time and I became a fan of this show and its been more than 15 years and I still watch Top Gear and Grand Tour and all their shows. in 2008 Richard Hammond inspired me to become an engineer when I saw his show Engineering Connections on National Geographic. now I am an electrical engineer working in London England. This video is very special to me.
How come the greatest Top Gear videos never comes in HD?!?!?!?!
best top gear segment ever.
LOVE THIS CAR
I once see this great video with star wars soundtrack, was amazing
It made my eyes water tooo... Fly away Captain Slow!!!! 😭👏👏👏👏😂👏👏👌
their peak episode. this episode for content could never be beaten.
automóvil fantástico y buen vídeo.
Kudos to Top Gear, their comments, especially those of Richard Hammond, will lead to one of the greatest discoveries in human history, it may happen later this year
6:55 "C'mon..gimme one more! *COUGH COUGH!*" Epic!
it´s like "back to the future" and the timemaschine ^^
Happy new year!!!!!!
i love this video, i love topgear,
@coolsdon No it's not. The music track they used in the original airing of the show was the Star Wars - Duel Of The Fates, which isn't the song in this CZcams version (at least not for me, maybe BBC has a regional setting replacing the song for anyone outside UK).
one of the most epic videos ever
I like the fact that its from like three different countries
shows what some of the best engineers in the world can do
Does anyone know which episode this is? I want to see it in better quality on Netflix.
can I please know the name of that opera song at the beginning?
they use it with the fERRARI f430 testing as well
Got my heart pumpin'
@lanccnal
especialy since most of the cars that go faster tend to get their power from things like jet or rocket power, as direct power from the engine to the wheels can only get you going so fast before the strains on the components require tolerences so fine that the wear from one high speeed run would probably make a second run difficult.
I LOVE Top Gear!
6:56 with this music in background i was like...dang he gonna brake the sound barrier
muß jetzt auch mal was sagen also die karre ist einfach der hammer und ich denke nicht das es ein geileres serienfahrzeug gibt als dieses !
5:15 Epic music!
Este auto es mi. Idolo
James May gets to the best challenges! He's my favourite top gear host
@Daniel6610 yes, the setup makes them corner well and don´t get that fast flatout...but you´re not gonna set it up to go 431 (262)...
can you tell me who is performing music on the race track!?
what's that epic soundtrack when he is speeding? :P
@wuhstawop In dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343.2 metres per second (1,126 ft/s). This is 1,236 kilometres per hour (768 mph).
@azua1021
the top speed of an F1 car doesn't really depend on the longest straight in the race. it depends on the adjustment of the wings. at monza where they use very little downforce the cars top speed easily reaches speeds over 350 km/h.
im so in love with this car
these guys have the BEST JOB EVER!
Soundtrack from Bram Stoker's Dracula I believe.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think this is one the the most beautiful and original cars ever created.
Didn't think about that before, actually makes sense :P
@mencetak
Have you tried ebay? Or local walmart? They might be having a sale.
7:53 lol he had tears of joy because it was so fast xD
what season is this?
i think im in love 0_O
what is the speedometer with the 1001 ? it isnt speed what is it?
@1CLight
That's the spirit (!)
@MrAssassinful yeah i understand, ive had that happen to me a ton of times when i first saw some cars
7.54 when capt. slow say: ... it make my eyes water .. makes me goos-pimples
Way to go, Captain Slow.
@wuhstawop Sorry to burst your bubble, but in dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343.2 metres per second (1,126 ft/s). This is 1,236 kilometres per hour (768 mph).
Just WOW
@Tarikace15 Perhaps I did not accurately convey that I was using enormous amounts of sarcasm in my previous remark. In either case, thank you for clearing this up for all of us.
Man I would kill to take that ride!!!
I gave you a thumbs up specifically for the last sentence of your post; I feel exactly the same :D
@BlueAvenue22 non metric type of measument . kilo (meaning 'hundred') metres. The metre is the foundation of this standard, Millimetres (1000th of a meter), centimetres(100th of a meter), metre, kilometres etc. a metre is approx 1.09361 yards. Its a more precise type of measurement used for scientific fields than a mile or yard. units of 10/100/1000 etc.
So how much did it cost to install the flux capacitor?
The Bugatti Veyron SS is the fastest road legal production car in the world. It maxed out at 267mph, went 0-62 in 2.5 seconds, making it the fastest accelerating car also. To top it off, it's the most expensive street legal production car, costing a lovely 2,400,000 USD
goosebumps
Does that spoiler lift with the Drivers side (in this instance) lifting slightly quicker than the other side?
Dodgy at speed surely?
Well done, Captain Slow!
There's really no words that describe this sufficiently. To say the car is beautiful is blasphemous, as that word doesn't begin to cover all the combined wonder and awe of this machine. I was utterly mesmerized, and still am in shock that, imperfect as we are, our species was able to create this living god.
we need another video soon with the new super sport, the new ssc and maybea koigensegg for fun :)
@AwesomeAlvin - when did he go faster?
goosebumps at 1 more 1 more!
I remember when i was in school and one day a guy in the class bring one magazine with pictures of the new (then) veyron.The ultimate car...4 turbos,1001hp,407km/h,the price.And i thing veyron was the first road car with 1001hp,was unbelievable!!!
@spatlik Correction: football pitch. Aka soccer field to North America.
What is that heart-stopping music? It sounds like James Bond crossed with Carmina Burana? If anyone knows please post ot
Notice the Wolfsburg licence plates, I think the most difficult thing was to pass the vehicle inspection.
