E-type and Eagle Speedster - Top Gear - BBC

[Fantageous]

sweet bejeebus! 

[melissamitzi]

whats the piano music in this clip?

[ace571970]

this is a GREAT BRITAIN

[DoriUnionTooLZ]

song at 4:21 please?

[berryvanaerle]

@DoriUnionTooLZ

Ascolta by Ludovico Einaudi

[cruzzlightyear]

Proud

[Mikeado66]

Oh wow. People say that they find Alfas and Jags and Ferraris, etc. to be "sexy" and joke that they're fap-worthy, and I do too sometimes, but no car has ever made me feel physically excited like the E-Type and the Eagle Speedster did watching this. THAT NOISE! Those looks! It's astonishing! Why must the world today do without large-displacement Straight-Six engines? It's a crime!

[MrSami2023]

the price worth it,beauutiful piece of art & engineerinG..

[kevinlew41]

"won't start" beautiful as they are the original e types were a lot of trouble. you wouldn't want to be in a traffic jam in one because it would overheat due to its 2 bladed fan, plus the gearshift got so hot it so that it would be hot to the touch.

but I digress, i still want one. next life maybe

great viddy thanks!

[mantazv2]

@kevinlew41 "next life maybe" ? IF you can't afford it now, you won't be able to afford it on your next life either! Will cost few hundred times more.

[rohandattatreya1]

belgium have a urinating infant... HAHAHAHHAAHAHHA

[Nadim2115]

@rohandattatreya1 yes and

[andre888yoyo]

it wont start...

[IanEduardoMeneses]

One of the best British cars ever made.

[teekanne15]

glad i could drove such a car once in my lifetime (E-type)

[FEAJramdomfilms]

3:50 I think I may have to go to the lavatory... uh, that's good...

[BoyChicken26]

Just Beautiful <3

[TRUMPHENT]

"It won't start!" :)

[BayAreaOrBust]

Half a million pounds? DAMN!

[Del350K4]

I had to watch the end again because I had tears in my eyes. Curse you, Clarkson, for manipulating my emotions!

[JacksonHeaven1]

jeremy clarkson, can you organise my birthday party??

[JLPMGHRS69]

There was Edward Scissor Hands and now we have Jeremy Hammer Hands.......

[med111unesc]

What a great job...

[Merakcm]

love the music in the beginning, does anyone know it?

[missedagain]

the best ending ever

[XXXCompAssesXXX]

Beautiful car.

[GlueRman]

Meh...

[nikolasao]

haha the french have a brown pylon

[CyclonicTuna023]

Wasn't the Concorde french?

[Braun30]

@CyclonicTuna023 It was a joint project although the main contribution was that deriving from Type 223, a project by Bristol, rather than that of the Super Caravelle.

Keep also in mind that the Olympus engines were those of the Vulcan, so in essence the project had a rather important british contribution. In the end it was a Anglo-French product and still is the most beautifull thing you could ever see in the sky and on the ground.

[MrRaider211]

thumbs up if u want that car

[1000000ed]

Irrational, transcendental and perfectly constant, E has the storied power!! and little man PEE, I had to be wide awake to get the yoke! Oh, perfection is beautiful indeed!

[TheMattsls]

Proud to be British

[CatchThePanda]

The Spitfire and Hurricane at the end gave me goosebumps.. Such a beautiful pair of aircraft! And as a tribute to a very beautiful car!

[ultraszgb]

concorde was anglo-french

[Muckydoggy1]

@ultraszgb The British didn't crash the concorde though did they? And British Airways succeeded in running concorde profitably, unlike AirFrance.

[Alezey574]

it will not be humilitated by Barcelona loool

[kevinbollers2]

I would love to drive in the country side with the old E-type convertible

[vaggos5]

Clarkson for world leader !

[7byseven]

How can he be so shocked at the price with his millions, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if I was him.

[CapsLock1495]

@7byseven well his not you

[MaistroDavid]

damn those spitfires was awesome

[L999WAG]

@MaistroDavid I think one was a Hurricane but they are awesome yes

[MyMMC]

are there v12 type-E i didn't know that...

i was watching the local car market and the have many v12 type-E but not so many normal I6 versions...

[Suprahampton]

@MyMMC The series 3 E-type was mostly V12

[MyMMC]

@Suprahampton

are they good?

im thinking of buying one...

[Suprahampton]

@MyMMC VERY thirsty, Power isn't that much more than the 4.2L 6cyl but the noise is musical

[Halo3Treez0]

I still prefer the E-type

[MyMMC]

500k :-( whyyyyyy!!!!!!

but this in mass production :-(

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@MyMMC

because this is the Actual Pilot Car for the Eagle Speedster. if it went into production, the MSRP price will be down quit allot. remeber; this is a hand made car.

[MyMMC]

@ThePanzerWarMachine

i hope so...

well its worth 500k when its all hand made but the problem is it just does not look like a 500k car... hope this makes it into mass production.

BTW u should watch out because of your profile icons... it's the sign of hitlers guards (Hitter Schutzstaffel)

they where the leaders of the normal Waffen SS.. i just saying... someone could ban you for that.

[6marco5]

wonderful car

[mcchargueMR2]

".....it won't start" haha

[sarthak102938]

what is the song at 4:22

[musicplanet7341]

@sarthak102938

it is "Ascolta/Ludovico Einaudi"

[Sesgars]

@sarthak102938 the commercial song? i also want to know it u.u

[joedawg112]

the e-type is a good mediphor for my penis (long)

[andydale78]

@joedawg112 you know you don't measure from your sternum right?

[joedawg112]

wtf is a sternum

[flightsimrocks]

for those asking, the song at 1.26 is 'Audio Network - Day of Reckoning'

[Aziralfredo]

3:57 ha ha ha! ...LOL epic laugh...

[Mewzickchannel]

Belgium has a urinating infant ! HAHAHAHAHA epic Jezza!

[xX47Xx]

This is one of the best Top Gear road tests ever, and it only has 136k views? Jeremy hits the nail on the head, driving is about the connection between the car and driver, so simple yet so true. Such beautiful cars.

[1183newman]

this car is one of the sexiest cars ever built. I think eagle have done an amazing job at upgrading the old e-type for the 21st century.

[chug11649]

I dont think I'v seen Jeremy this happy before lmao

[orihalchon]

I've got goose-bumps when the Speedster shows up..... i mean...... it's sooo beautiful~ Then the sound, i was like "Ohh God, i've got crisis" (lol) Then i he warns about the price..... "half a million" i was like hopeless.... But then he said it again as "the E-Type...... was truly the last great thing Britain made", he rises my hopes again on wanting the car.....

Clarckson, you truly have my regards ;) *cheers*

[gman21xx]

how the hell do they afford to do these ridiculous things?

[meehaf83]

please can anyone tell what is the name of the song / music at 4:21 

[meehaf83]

what is the name of the song /music at 4:21

[thejonathanwaller]

@meehaf83 Ascolta by Ludovico Einaudi

[meehaf83]

@thejonathanwaller thank you so much :)

[zipiol]

I LOVE it's noise ! 3:50

[esnevip]

@zipiol noise? MUSIC

[pingpongyul]

@zipiol I know, i keep replaying it....its magic...i want one

[reefchief8]

@zipiol That's not noise, it's music D:

[SpecialAndNotDumb]

@zipiol would sound better with a stroked 8

[lamage89]

@SpecialAndNotDumb HAHA Sound better with a stroked 8? What is up with people and 8 cylinders? E-types and straight 6's are what magic is made of. Put a 8 into a E-type and it is ruined from there on in. Its not a jag if its heart isnt Jaguar. Fucking V8's

[SpecialAndNotDumb]

@lamage89 Straight 6's . and what about the E-Type V12 ? , douche bag

[junk4dimeji]

@zipiol noise? Are you sure you did not mean to type music?

[dthe1o]

i want an eagle speedster. sooooo badly.

[Cybe427]

7:52 won't start

[vaggos5]

Whats that song at 1:26 ?

[ueki547]

Jeremy knows how to throw a party!

[2k7johnnyboy]

I would choose the Eagle Speedster over just about any car in the world :)

[akakong88]

5:59 half a million pound car and they couldn't mount the tires properly... Tsk

[annilator666]

whats the song from 1:12 to 2:05?

[003Rifal]

That ending made me feel so patriotic... and Im not even British.

[sootyferrari65]

7:10 That should be our Olympic opening ceremony!!!!!!!!!

Not some shitty buses and beefeaters

[xXxelkompaemoxXx]

3:50 - 3:55 best part.

[mandoplusguitar]

as the cliffs of dover crumble and the remaining few e types fall into the sea....

[swot4life786]

@Stig53KR The whole car is hand built, the engine is manufactured in-house, it's purely independent of anything outside of Jaguar's heritage

[7AMOOODE2133]

It's Cost 20.000.000 in GT5 :P

[LGKemp]

@7AMOOODE2133 No, thats the Jaguar XJ13 :P They should put the Eagle Speedster on GT5 though :(

[bry4n3]

That is an amazingly stunning location.

[KevinBrrg]

This the only beautiful and decent car, that the british mada

[13LinkinPark666]

clarkson i would pay £1,000,000 since this car is the most beautiful car ever obviously if i had £1,000,000 then i would by it

[spectre1050]

There is a different song that starts at 3:27 on the original dvd i think. anyone knows?

[TimBrewin]

When he changed up in the Speedster between 60 + 70mph, I had a "crisis" in th TG sense of the word...

[TraustiGeir]

Jeremy, I want you to organize MY 50th birthday.

That has got to be the greatest tribute to a car ever! And despite the fact that I don't even remotely relate to Britain in any way, I think it truly deserves it.

[rfcon11]

What about the harrier jump jet that was a world beater

[hottr6]

Jer's gut barely clear the steering wheel.

[ludakrishnamc]

7:57 yeah the british were great

[sidney4747]

you know when im an american and ive never seen a flag that big... ever... then you may have gone over the top

[Ab1234ify]

por andar haciendo tanta mamada

[attorney1972]

@Ab1234ify Pinche resentido comunista

[Nilsfried]

At 6:00 you can see, that the wheel is mounted wrong... It should run in the other direction. Like that, the rain water would be pressed under the wheel instead of away from it...

[123cloro]

epic fail

it wont start

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@milesdavisblackmx5 i know it's British courtesy

[turbochargedfilms]

@FreshFromDaBasement Currency, not courtesy, douchenozzle

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement oh god. you ruin the language you claim to use.

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab well maybe if you stop trolling me my phone word predictor wouldn't be fucking up

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement im not trolling? im not even a grammar nazi. i hardly use punctuation. but your comment was just hilarious.

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab oh and some how i'm a nazi? ignorant much

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement what the fuck dude? i said im not a 'grammar nazi'. i didnt say you were a nazi....

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab And yet you're still annoying me...

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement thats cute, you think your time is worth something.

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab speaking about time, your life isn't worth making fun of

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement you havent got shit anyway :)

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab Do you have anything better to do? Or this is your life because I think it's kind of sad how you present your-self. You know I'm dumb because I'm a American. And I don't know what you are...so just grow up and go our separate ways =)

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement @FreshFromDaBasement i need to grow up? really? go over and read our little conversation. INCLUDING the sentence that inspired my initial comment.

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab 500,000 pounds? 783650 US dollars. Lol is that not money? Wow you're really uneducated. And CAPS LOCK ON...umad bro?

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement yeahhhh no. i meant the one where it looks like you had a seizure on the keyboard.

oh really? im uneducated? hows the american education system going? oh thats right..

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab ignorance. that's all i have to say. Your someone who follows stereotypes and probably bash every American for it. Everyone is equal and yet your being really stupid. I'm embarrassed people like you even exist in the world.

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement hahahahaha. that is a lovely little self righteous speech you got going on there.

good for you. you go and save the world! one troll at a time!

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab So you admit you're a troll. Fair enough.

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement listen to spell check next time kid. its trying to help people like you. kay?

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab Well guess what you're not helping. You're just really annoying.

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement im only replying because you are.

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab That's pretty immature . I'm going to end the conversation here because I'm trying not to sound like you.

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement just be the big grown up and walk away.

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab everyone knows you're the cool kid now

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement yeahhhh braaa'zz im fully sickkkk im a coollll kidddd.

hahaha. look at you on your high horse.

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@born2stab on a very high horse. Cause we all know that cool kidz ride horses right?

[born2stab]

@FreshFromDaBasement ohhmaahhh gawdddddd sahhh koooool!

[TheCarguy974]

6:10 the best part of this review begins.

[Stig53KR]

Does anyone know where the engine from the Speedster is pulled from? Or is it manufactured in house?

[IrishStigg]

The endings a little flashy...

[Tryvaltor]

Even Enzo Ferrari himself described the E-type as "The most beautiful car ever made."

[lemonlimelukey]

DAAAAAMN

[mustangwings]

anybody kno the piano songs name thats in this video?

[FreshFromDaBasement]

I didn't even know 500,000 lbs existed. Lol i love this guy

[amirmax11]

@FreshFromDaBasement Typical American

[FreshFromDaBasement]

@amirmax11 i know what pounds r dumbass

[Conqbl]

i have a different music during Eagle Speedster in my version TG... WTF

[newRo1ism]

loool, belgium! 6:56

but it's true... we have a urinating infant...

[A3rox]

@newRo1ism hahahaha

[zottejakke3]

@newRo1ism There's a reason we drink all that beer.. but, but.. we also have a 100+ meter high iron crystal! Ugh.. just give me another Duvel.. /sobs/

[HaNSoNnDaDrummer]

Song @ E-Type part?

[Muzgar15]

The sound of the engine mindfucked me

[maseratiquattraporte]

What's the name of the song at the beginning?

[f1rstlol]

@maseratiquattraporte Chemical Brothers - Dissolve

[ludicer]

this is most beautiful thing I have ever watched.

[Craplatte]

Damn you Jeremy Clarkson if you haven't got the best job in the universe!!

[proscriptus]

It is, above all else, his mad, passionate love of cars that makes it all work. I don't care even a little bit about his politics, fashion sense or hair. It is, always, about the cars.

[gerardwhytelads]

I Want one.

[lifethelifetoday]

I hate this car.

[foofighter8008]

@lifethelifetoday I hope you die in a Prius

[lifethelifetoday]

@foofighter8008 No, in a actual good car.

[artkore33]

it think we've probably found the best ending to a test of a car...

first the magnificient love declaration to the e-type...

... and the "it won't start".

thumbs up !!

[BlitzkriegATX]

@artkore33

It's the ZR1 all over again.

[Eragba]

at 4:23 it's reflection time

[nojyt]

@V12Carlucci You're going to get a lot of flak for that comment. A 1960s vette is nice, but an E Type jag is..... epic.

[nojyt]

That's my favourite car of all time. And clearly I'm not alone in that department.

[Primedavis1234]

@payko526 same here

[ValkyrieDrake]

that was a hair excessive lol



[payko526]

3:50 That sound, that sound pretty much explains my love of cars. MY god, I've never heard a straight 6 sound THAT astonishing. Honestly, it sends chills down my spine just listening to it.
