Caparo T1 driven by Mika Hakkinen

[MrSneekyparrot]

If comparing straightline speed then ok but show the veyron some twists and the caparo would disappear.

The 2 cars are completely different animals!

[TedMan55]

@bmwlover0809 have you seen a corner before? its this weird twisty thing that are on roads sometimes

[bmwlover0809]

the veyron does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and 0-100 in 4.9 seconds, and the caparo does the samething so idk what ppl r talking about when they say this thing is so fast i would never take it over a veyron because even though the veyron weighs like 3 times more, they produce the same numbers which is just phenomenal, and the veyron has a higher top speed by 48 mph, the veyrons 253 vs the caparo t1's 205

[bmwlover0809]

@hunghuge12 r u kidding me? none of those car companys cars r even close to the power of the veyron or the veyron ss so shut ur mouth

[sstteeffff1]

@1990Nissan300ZXTT what do you mean....mini?

[Boondocksaint1PSN]

LMFAO his legs are shaking when he gets out

[hunghuge12]

Veyron not fast enough there's only one other place to go? Really? I think you might find there are a number of places like Noble, Pagani, Ultima, 9FF, Mclaren, Lamborghini, Ariel and maybe others. I love the Caparo but it's very under developed. It's amazing it did the course without something falling off or setting fire.

[aingaran2003]

@hunghuge12 exactly what I was thinking. The cars which are meant for speed around a track aren't comparable to the veyron

[MyCosmicPath]

Seeing the look in his eyes as he got out saying thank you over and over was priceless.

Wonderful stuff. lucky git ;o)

[thnk4urself]

he survived? thank god. Mika>fangio

[TreinKub]

2:09 look at these exhausts just dancing :)

[mihainegoescu]

I remember when this was called the Freestream .. still the best road-legal you can buy to this day

[kktpp]

id pay a million zillion billion to be shotgun in that car

[nandoanalog]

golfers emerging from the right

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

The Johnny Walker branding is very fitting: Keep Walking

[mushrume]

he parks better than Ace Ventura , haha classic

[austensvids]

I love how Mika looks in his rearview mirror at 2:20, as if someone is coming up behind him!

[LukeMLBarry]

excuse me but are we reviewing the caparo t1 or mika hakinen?

[mushrume]

@LukeMLBarry  well i think he is much more interesting than this car. now him or his west mercedes, that car was in my opinion one of the best sounding ever and coolest looking .

[DaBandiiT]

good wood. lololololol

[aidan21]

The presenter is fake, awkward and pretty much shit at his job.

Give it me.

Id make you happy.

[one21twoone2]

red bull x1 prototype. that is all.

[jeby144]

Mark tisshaws face looks like a chicken shit on a frog, then gave it false front teeth

[khaluC]

0-100mph in 4.8 sec !!! OMFG

[me2ontube]

@khaluC did you see the top gear review of this thing

[Tsuji87]

and for once the car didn't try to kill the driver

[gt500hyun]

what?! 0-100kmh or 0-100mph less than 5 sec?

[DeAdiSSu3]

@gt500hyun mph

[24gadjet]

@gt500hyun 0-100 mph or 0-160 kph

[ROCKSOLID19]

The manifolds bending after hard revving!!!!

[MrYousafBajwa]

hakkinen and schumacher are gods

[bradanderson2]

The Caparo T1 is not a "place".

[firdauzart]

2:48 EPIC PARKING EVAR!!!

[ROCKSOLID19]

@firdauzart 2:48 Using reverse gear is so last centuary.

[firdauzart]

i wonder how many hakkinen elbow the person behind?

[TheArcher1801]

I'm surprised the throttle didnt jam wide open

[captaindan7140]

@TheArcher1801 Yeah I was surprized that they didn't catch on fire!

[FT86TT]

2:10 It's banging!

[Pracer7]

1:28 Can you spot the irony ? :P

[byras20]

@Pracer7 yes :D



[MyCosmicPath]

@Pracer7 Mika was looking for a sign for keep of the grass, those fins do like the slippy stuff

[mrmactknife]

@Pracer7 Made me chuckle when i saw that too.

[Ferrari512codalunga]

Mika.....a great man

[ROCKSOLID19]

@Ferrari512codalunga Dare I say it, slightly better than.....Senna?

[pakkiaman2]

thats shit is more like an f3000 -.-

[ASSHOLELA]

I've touched this car before. there are some of my cells on it...

[joshopsho]

lol he's speechless!



[radiodinner]

1:29. Dead Slow, yeah right.

[ASSHOLELA]

@radiodinner

I've seen this car in Singapore when it went for Formula 1 season in 2008.The announcer said the JohnnyWalker car had bout 600hp/ton. It appeared that it was restricted to 300++hp, as opposed to the real deal 550hp.

Believe me , this car can be alot faster.

[ndecker3295]

Dear santa

[PaganiZondaF650hp]

EVO posted their video first HAHAHAHA

[CleverDjembe]

Mika Häkkinen - Still the Finnish F1 KING!

[burritomaker69]

this thing is just pure shit haha its sad that for 300k you get a car that catches fire or falls to pieces while doing 150mph

[joemplascencia]

I bet when he parked the car, the Caparo team was like "okay thats enough, out the car now!" (-:

[enemay]

I would have peed and pooped my pants if I was the passenger, that man is quick and the car is just insane! But after all that I would still smile.

[omidool]

Let's put it in a track with the mighty Zonda R! That video is gonna hit a record!

[DZoneMotorsportTV]

We need to see this car's full potential on the track!

[obscuresword]

This is like the Gran Turismo 5's Redbull X1 cousin

[tommyhaha0]

2 seats!!?

[LiveLarger]

Just wait, it will soon be i fire!

[carloseferraz]

yeah yeah yeah... the fastest and most impraticable car ever made...

[n9athan]

@carloseferraz its got 2 seats and you can get it in hard top form so its not as impractical as you may think and its a small price to pay for being that fast

[carloseferraz]

@n9athan but the point is that is tooooooo tight... there are a lot of supersports cars that demand a minimum of confy stuff... this one show none at all... but anyway it´s a road killer, no question about that...

[aldosalthren]

in massachusetts having a bugatti veyron on the road is illegal, why the fuck is this not illegal?

[franch1978]

Даа,чувак в экстазе.)

[Twack006]

Where did they get this guy from?

[akNoWTF]

That's how all the finns park their cars on their front lawns.

[genasupergena]

what a boring commentator. watch some Top Gear and learn.

[GryphonDork]

Best park ever. 2:47

[LeKena91]

@GryphonDork *cough* finnish style *cough*

[tbrowniscool]

what a doofus! cant believed someone hired him...

[gowrishan]

ahh the atom destroyer is back huh?

[Silverdeamon92]

That car is too fast for that course. And Nice parking Mika. That presenter looked like a kid at a toy store.

[alextgreen]

Pretty dull demo and the presenter a bit amateurish.

[peanuts2105]

@alextgreen yeah but come on, did you see his little face lit up afterwards?! Priceless!

[alextgreen]

Walking pace round the corners isn't really much of a demonstration for a downforce car.

[Hexenunterwerfer]

Er war es, und wird es immer bleiben: Der beste Rennfahrer der Welt

[kapitanpisoar]

What a parking :)

[Nemesis093781]

thank you for the video.

[vivtin]

Is that shit street legal?

[sisdf]

@vivtin Yes it is!



[PUSHA304]

LIKE TO SEE WHAT TIME IT WOULD GET ON THE NURBURGRING

[abysalhydra]

completley forgot about this car



[GdeGodTiDaIgras]

2:45 is just amazing ^^

[bitumen83]

Never drink and drive.. or you gona drive like MIKA ^^

[venom5809]

" now that is how you drive" Will Smith Bad Boys

[rocketpunch12210]

This piece of film is clearly CGI. The real car should either broke down in the middle of filming or caught on fire....LOL

[gustarr]

2.47



[gustarr]

That how I park 2.47 

[iamthefatstig]

I don't think that presenter has been anywhere near a woman.

[DerOllie]

Cool runnings: Mika Hakkinen... Nice signal to the camera man: "Get out of the way man, i'm doing a 180!"

[Createris]

I bet Mika always park his cars like this :D

[copperkipper1]

This video doesn't F*****KING work on my PC... The rendering looks f*Ked?!?!?!¬! GAH

[TheRomantiKo94]

d lujO.!! =)

[S3N909]

The look on his face is priceless!

[gweflj]

Mika rules.

[soulshinobi]

Stunning. Nothing can prepare you for just how ugly this presenter's shoes are.

[zx6rtt]

holy shite

the parking job at the end was like

: O

[TheEPITROCHOID]

@zx6rtt Hakkinen IS a professional

[ebradahusla]

How would the T1 compare to the Atom V8?

[aemst]

@ebradahusla Top Gear lapped the atom v8 at 1:15.1 and lapped the Caparo at 1:10.

[gweflj]

@ebradahusla The Caparo is in another dimension. If it doesn't catch fire!

[SammyJ21]

Looks like a Benny Hill film in 1911 Mode!

[nagasako7]

Watching Mika drive the Caparo in 1911 mode is probably the funniest thing on youtube.

[campasini]

now thats how you park a car!!!

[xevious2501]

Mikka's the man, and despite all the bashing of the caparo t1, it simply is as temperamental as an f1 car, but isnt that what your purchasing essentially.

The kings of speed, Caparo T1,Veyron SS,Atom V8,Zonda R, SaleenS7.. and although not at fast  you simple gota love the new BAC MONO its a masterpiece!

[tissot233]

@Lolzilol123

Exactly.

I have been very lucky to have been in a rally car driven by many times finnish rally champion Sebastian Lindholm and my face and my chatter after that 10 minutes stint was 10x the more geeky than him.

Something to remember a life time i can tell you that.

Oh and love that random 2.49 spin, plus like said the camera mans face would have been priceless.

[damnsonson]

wow...i LOVE the slide at the end, he's amazing

[prancinghorse25]

One of the greatest F1 driver ever...

[boy638]

I always pronouce it as Caparoti LOL

[ov010]

2:46



[rustafur]

Mika is the real like Stig.

[grimlock122]

will it still catch fire?

[TroyKling]

@grimlock122 will it blend?

[206frankthetank]

"dead slow" lol



[kewl10mac]

Now this guy shouldnt speak off script. When he got outta the car, thats how he needs to talk

[me2ontube]

5 veyron owners didn't like this video :)

[EVILSPAWN1000]

Didn`t the Caparo burn Jason Plato badly?It broke down TWICE at the hands of J.Clarkson.Floor came off,and another something.Selling the caparo 2 Wayne Rooney and other" average" drivers is INSANE!That car on the ROAD is insane!U have 2 go 70-80 mph just 2 get enough downforce to make the turn...... Some cars SHOULDN`T b street legal and 4 everybody,even if they have headlights and all that stuff.It`s just TOO much

[gregaperkin]

@EVILSPAWN1000 It has been modded a lot since then but I don't disagree! It's for serious drivers only!

[fp5carbon1]

Is that the Stig?

[drawface]

the commentator clearly got blown away haha

[seroyer2]

Thumbs up if you too have a MyChron 3 on your Kart. Also why did they not go for the Newer MyChron 4, or why not just use the MXL which is made for cars.

[guitarwes04]

what the hell, Chuck Taylor shoes and a racing suit?

[MrRedline101]

His upper lip is the best part of this video.

[Jimmetalrules5546]

@MrRedline101 hahaha

[ZeroZ06]

get this thing too silverstone pronto!

[tigerseye094]

Good Wood.........that is what i have after watching this video

[pretty00lights]

im suprised it did not catch on fire

[S3N909]

@pretty00lights

lol...Jeremy Clarkson

[ASSHOLELA]

@pretty00lights

its been 5 years. they've long since fixed the fire problem.

[Aireisor]

This car should be taken to Nordschleife to see if it can beat Pagani Zonda R

[hajimekishi]

caparo T1! omg I havent seen this car for ages. are they still on business??

[datpimpinboy]

Red Bull X1 ;)

[atami210]

Thats how you park.

[eeeen321]

holy crap, it would feel so damn fast with those surroundings.... if it was even possible to make this car seem "faster" ...lol

[spencermel]

Mika was only one who Schumi feared.That tells you something.

[gasfgiop]

2:47 "Move, bitch, get out tha way!"

[Buckles0528]

1:16 there is a sign that say "Dead Slow".... probably

[THEINFORMER93]

I like Johnnie Walker.

[greencase]

umm dear crossing?

[heratus007]

mmmmmm

[yeu410]

he parked the car whit the donut... :D

[RTWUROTTS]

Admit it ,you shit yourself!

[teakbridge101]

Love the sign that says "Dead Slow!"

[chosuriki]

Did it burst into flames like when Plato drove it?

[SANDEM4N]

Dead Slow @ 1:27

[SchwartzMerlot]

I love how the car say never drink and drive because nyone stupid enough to drink and drive that....well... XD

[TheBlaspheemer]

@2:10 whats that the tailpipes are wiggling around???

[Dermo1985]

@TheBlaspheemer Happens all cars, if there was no engine cover you'd see the engine move around on its mounts too no big deal

[TheBlaspheemer]

@Dermo1985 I know, lol. Take a close look, they move together then apart.....just the way the exhaust is hung, looks like 2 engines.

[Atheistprimate]

I kept waiting for Mika to do the secret signal.

[santosbl01]

2:48 for pure epicness.

[94070]

Very charismatic reporters on Autocar...

[CalvinS63]

This being claimed as the most dangerous car to drive in 2006, it was slightly ironic how the sign at 1:27 said "Dead Slow".

[buttnut1080]

Ariel Atom V8. That's all I'm gonna say.

[sahandsesoot]

@buttnut1080 its like comparing a superkart with a formula 1 car!..ofc T1 will destroy it by miles.

In the topgear course it was 6.5 sec faster than the new atom v8.

[buttnut1080]

@sahandsesoot I know it is very fast but it costs well over twice as much as the already expensive Caparo. And unlike the T1, it's actually safe to operate. It doesn't catch on fire, jam wide open, or fall apart while flying. And it can handle midspeed cornering very well.

[jo05dk]

What amazes me the most is that they've managed to make the car not fall apart and/or catch on fire enough to give everal journalists a spin in it. That's something looking back at all the issues people had to deal with not that long ago.

[patriotVELES]

I miss the days when Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher were the only competitors for the F1 title !

[lamborgboy]

the ride of his life

[luedriver]

why does a car like this really need 2 seats???

..or is it to make it road legal?

...would a 1 seater car for the road be illegal???

[Spooie]

@luedriver i think single seaters are road legal but with a single seat what would be the point of owning something so impractical

[luedriver]

@Spooie have you seen the video before posting this comment???

[Dermo1985]

@luedriver I doesn't need two seats but that way you can show off to your friends. The extra seat is as pointless as the car itself, its just there to be there.

[luedriver]

@Dermo1985 I dont think super fast cars are pointless...

[Dermo1985]

@luedriver Neither do I but I do think this one is.

[luedriver]

@Dermo1985 then I guess you wouldn't like the new Caterham, either then, huh?

[Dermo1985]

@luedriver Well the new Caterham doesn't have a road legal version yet to be fair but no it doesn't appeal to me, i do like the Ariel Atom though. But the Caparo is different its so like a f1 car for the road ins pretty much undrivable anywhere other than a track or private land and if you have a good bit of a lot of race car experience....its kinda pointless unless f1 drivers are buying them as a step up from go-karts ha

[luedriver]

@Dermo1985 Caterham is "thinking" of a road version and I guess this car IS a little extreme for the road...

nice car though, it IS a F3000 for the road but mainly for the track...

personally, I'd get a caterham 7 or a 70's lotus elan...

[Gangreen167]

I would love to take a ride in the thing!!!

[Beanie2390]

Well...He's a knob head...

[TheVilleS94]

want one! :D

[rajb89]

i wanna take my girlfriend out in this thing..! lol..! :D

mika to make a return to f1 imagine the money he and the team he drives fo would make and shumacker would crap himself and then some be better too if kimi r
