One thing that no one thinks about is that rolling roads measure wheel and not engine hps.
Basically you lose up to 20% of an engine's output via thermal inefficiences and transmission losses, you could say a 90 ps engine is only worth about 75ps
Its only on the Youtube videos though because they have to mix the commentaries around to fit the Youtube time limit. It is much better in the full episodes.
thanks man! The Roots are a great band, and I have to credit top gear for having the best film editing and choice of great music, and not to mention good ol' british humor
I just don't get the editing in this video. Several times it simply isn't possible to hear what they are saying. Sometime due to the music, once because they had the author talk when someone else was already talking.
I love top gear, possibly best tv show ever, but the editing is simply poor in this vid.
This one isn't shortened, but most others are. This was put up before TG made a habit of using edits for channels other than BBC2. They shorten episodes, thus, most Youtube clips, for all other broadcasts.
my favorite was the Ferrari. I once bought a Porsche 928 used, a la the Budget Porsche episode, and I'm convinced that it was down a few dozen horsepower like these cars.
Jeremy and James were predicting at about 2.58 that Richard will blame his (slow) lap time on a 'misfire'... at 3.33 he does indeed blame a misfire as predicted, thats why they were laughing.
That lambo was one of the best cars in the world at that time. The reason it broke down is the battery that is never created ever since the car came out so only lambo who are still live and actually serviced that car will be able to fix it.
cars of this era, built to the edge of engineering need to be maintained on a very rigorous schedule or they just wear too much . . . these cars are about sound and fun . . . not reliability . . . have you civic guys ever owned a ferrari . . .or maserati? or lambo . . .none of them are reliable . . .not until audi purchased lambo could you rely on it starting every day.
you don't buy honda civic to fool around like crazy and it's obvious that former owners of these supercars wasn't delivering their grandmas to church every sunday.
my hyundai accent has more hp than the maserati. sad such a beautiful car has lost so much power. either way looks a hell of a lot better than my car!
