  • looks like the isle of man. prob not but seems like it.

  • agrees that its definitely an audi / lambo v10 like everyone else

  • gallardo 560

    

  • has to be some sort off gallardo

  • looks like the IOM to me.

  • its a public road but a fucking closed public road not realy interesting

  • By the sound, it´s Not a 12cil. for sure.

  • lamborgini gallardo i think

  • It's a V8 for sure, maybe a FORD GT or an ASTON?

  • i'd say a gallardo (bad guess)

  • either a 8, 10 or even 12... natural aspired maybe that new spanish supercar

  • no porsche... the engine sound is too loud (rear engine) and it doesn´t sound like a flat 6... i tink its a "normal" v8 maybe audi r8?!? shifting sounds like a dsg or so... porsches gt3 only comes with a manual 6 speed

  • fxx

  • gallardo

  • it's not a rear engine mounted car, sounds like a 6 or 8 cylinder. I'm gonna say a caterham maybe?

  • I'd say it's a Porsche gt3

  • It sounds like the gear changes are too fast to be a manual, so therefore it's a an auto of some sort or double-clutch type box. I'm pretty sure GT3's only come in manuals (correct me if I'm wrong) so I was thinking a lambo of some sort although it does sound V8-ish at times. Whatever it is, it's very quick.

  • Ford pinto

  • Vector WX-8

  • Sounds like a Lamborghini Gallardo or Murcielago :/

  • i think it´s a motorcycle because of the noise ¬¬ I´m not sure

  • No corner lean though unless they had a very good camera mount that compensated. Good video.

  • the video doesn't lean when he goes into corners

  • u r right

  • honda jazz with a halfords exhaust

  • since everyone else is putting out super cars names of what it might be might as well fuck it

    Saleen S7

  • Lambo gallardo

  • Porche 911

  • good camera is only half way to good video...you need to know how to prepare video...here is some nice driving, nice car, nice road and hurt when viewer cant enjoy because low video quality.

  • this looks like motorcycle it's not a car at all and it's not going that fast i'll drive a van in this speed sweet heart heheheeh ...

  • think its somewhere on the butter tubbs road poss by someone int J.C?? Maybe..

  • camera is to low, sound is crap. I cant understand how someone have 10000000000$ for car and cant pay for good camera and mic. Car is brutal, but video is very bad.

  • they cant buy a good camera because like you pointed out they just paid $10000000000 for a car...dipshit

  • i think it's a toyota corolla !!!

    thumbs up people !!

    ha ha ha

  • it's a lamborghini gallardo i think ;)

  • yh, gotta be a lambo, that noise, its just amazing

  • it's all wheel drive, so not an m5. plus they rn't that quick the m5.s

  • gallardo...

  • I think it's an M3. I'm fairly certain.

  • sounds like the carrera gt

  • its a lambo superleggera ;)

  • it sounds like a lambo, my mates dad has a murcialgo lp640 and it sounds like this, its a v12 so im still not sure, mabey a gallardo?/?????

  • I'm fairly sure it's a V10 and as I found out it had a manual gearbox. In here we've only got SMG on M5 and M6. So a Gallardo could be it...or a Viper!

  • Hmm thats weird In North America we get the v10 m5 with smg or manual.

  • I think it's a Ford Pinto! lol. Just Kidding I think it's a Gallardo Superleggera

  • i think its a aston martin, either a DB9 or a V8 vantage

  • its no crime... roads r off limits in Europe

  • wrong, its definitely an egear gallardo

  • It's Steve Sutcliffe of Autocar driving a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera on a road in Wales. The road was closed at the time specifically for this run so no laws broken!

  • nice it looks like a 92 corolla

    lol

  • Definitely a V10,i am pretty sure this is a lambo.

  • porsche or any car old... is old

  • Gallardo Superleggera possibly. Sounds insane.

  • its a ferrari 599

  • Sounds like a R8 but a Auto?

    That or a Metro 6r4 with a sl65 gearbox and R500 engine?

  • visibility from the driver's viewpoint would be far better than what the camera sees, and also as previously stated the low camera view makes it seem mopre intense than it probably was so really it's not that dangerous. I reckon maybe it's near Middleton in Teesdale or alston moor or something?

  • it looks like the isle of white tt course

  • its prob a ferarri california

    location: caterham

  • all that guy needed was another idiot coming the other way like that, and bye bye he would have went.

  • This looks like the road Top Gear use on the Isle of Mann, there are no speed limits on the island. No way would Autocar put up a video of a car breaking any speed limits. Driving is a tad wreckless though. The low down camera angle makes it seem faster, the way the car is being thrown into corners would, as lukescham states, a caterham.

  • could be a caterham.

    kinda sounds like a subaru

    but who knows?

  • Is that on the moors somewhere??

  • its a bike.....LOL

  • Im pretty sure is a caterham. The noise and the way it moves

  • i dont know which car ir is but i know that it would work much faster if the driver would be later on the brakes and faster in the corners. he doesnt push the car to the limit

  • If you could drive any car down that road quicker I'd be amazed. Late braking etc. are fine for trackdays but you really don't want to do it on the road in anything with any performance.

  • i would be faster if i would know the road. i am sure the driver does. i mean he (she) drives a good line but it would work faster, really.

    sorry for my english

  • But you have to give yourself a safety margin though- you may know the road, you may be Jean Ragnotti, but you can't account for the sheep in the middle of the road, or the patch of diesel, or the broken down car.

  • all u guys are wrong! its a F*ckin geo metro. damn u guys obviously dont know sports cars. WOW!

  • seems kinda like a bike

  • Its a 1987 Honda Civic Hatch with NOSSSSSSSSSSS 0.o

  • Definetly Lamborghini, you can tell by the low RPM grunt

  • it doesnt have the high pitched ferrari tone and too deep for a lambo sounds like a beefy V12 aston martin DB9 or MB SL65

  • caterham...0-60 seemed under 3 seconds. no wheel spin and very very low to the ground (I know it is the camera mounting) but it would be mounted to something solid like the frame.

  • something about the tags? its got ferrari, lambo, caterham, aston, maserati, lotus...

    IF! it is one of them, my best guess would be a Gallardo(Superleggera, LP560-4 etc)...There's non of that ferrari whine/purr(thats how I call it), none of that AMV8 howl, nothing from maser sounds like that.

    Also, seeing the fifth gear review on the Gallardo SE, same sound..

    go to autocar's site and search for the video "Britain's best handling car" Probaby will find the answer right there.

  • it could be a Rover Metro?

  • it a v8 suond italian or american is difficult to say but is a v8 natural aspired not even a gt 40 beacuas it wuold have the supercharger suond. a sleen might be a good idea....EHM GUYS lambos and pagani suond like an incredible screaming girl such cray beautyfull suond

  • lambos dont sound like that, they whine, not growl, ITS A FERRARI WITH A V8

  • ahah Ferrari 's sounds like god, this is a "normal" motor

  • Could be a Saleen s7

  • thats the sloc/roundtable road on the isle of man:)its well fun to drive on:)

  • apollo

  • I Say ZONDA!

  • Only Lambos sound like that.

  • ya i think its a lambo

  • i go with Ford GT

  • which as someone just commented has probably been tuned into a saleen sr7

  • Thats a VW Polo for sure.

  • Italian doesn't sound right, Viper ACR or Corvette ZR1.

  • RS6

  • It sounds a bit high pitched to be a viper, but it very well could be. I think the v-10 is a good call though.

  • I'd say a Gallardo Superleggera.

  • man thats the first car i thought of when i heard the engine

    RIGHT ON!!

  • V10 100%

    but there are to many out there to be shore :S

    Viper perhaps..

  • It's an angry bull charging for a checkered flag....

    ......you know the name.

  • sounds like fordGT

  • not sure what it is, but i do know that it has speed.

  • lamborghini gallardo superleggera

  • I first said comp lotus or GT Jaguar/Aston, the gallardo - I just didn't think the rmp were high enough. Comp engine for sure. the power was urgent with no dips in delivery. If you could hear the gear box i would have said Italian but you can't. My best guess would be the comp Dodge Viper

  • I'd bet for Lambo too though GT Jaguar or Aston has kinda that sound too.

  • Lambo for sure.

  • Yes It must be Gallardo :D:D V10 definetly :)

  • Its a Nissan GTR

  • One thing is for sure. The driver really knows this road. It does sound like a V10though, not a V8. If it were an M5 or M6, it probably has an aftermarket exhaust.

  • That is defintly a v10 engine revs high enough to be a bmw m5 or lamborghini gallardo.

  • its my vw polo 1.4 75 hp stock..but it seems a bit rough !!! LOL

  • Dodge Viper ACR

  • this is not any BWM. to short gears

  • Lamborghini Gallardo.

  • definitely a v8. looks like the isle of man.

  • How on earth could you listen to an engine with a clear 5-multiple sound (5cyl, 10cyl etc...) and then conclude that it's "definitely a V8" ??? It doesn't rev high enough to be a Porsche Carrera GT, so it's most-likely a BMW M5 or M6

  • Not a BMW at all. Not in a million years. Who says it has to be a new car. Every chance its a Lotus Esprit...

  • this video is an ode to a movie called rendezvous

  • i got with a huge v8 or a v10 but not a ferrari because it doesnt have that high pitch whistle they have. check out my dirtbike on my channel and please subscribe

  • It's Ultima GTR

  • my thoughts exactly !

  • thats a fiat panda lol

  • Yeah and your mom is driving to your house to spank you! Naughty little hooter!

  • its my dads 97 2.8 Mitsubishi Pajero

  • guy's downshifts are perfect

  • definitely a high revving Italian. I'm guessing a LP560-4 or a Ferrari F430 Scuderia

  • it actually sounds more like a ford gt

  • its an lp560, on the isle of man. group tested with R8, gtr, ktm xbow etc

  • good spot i think your right

  • i hear somthing with a turbo whistle in the end the gtr has a twin turbo v6 so maybe it is a gtr but is sounds great and it does'nt matter what car it is :D

  • 0:42...it sounds like a gallardo lp560-4.

  • defo not a gtr, most likely an italian beast of some sort.

  • This is definitely a V8. You can hear a clear and typical V8 sound at 2:30 when he is changing the gears in lower rev's. I guess to 90% It's an audi r8. And you have to keep in mind that the source of the sound is not the exhaust.

  • That's definitely a supercar they were driving. It was also very loud so my guess is a Lamborghini (LP560 like Seige said). Or maybe even a Mccleran F1, I know its suppose to be very loud.

  • super fast car!!!

  • A muscle car no!!

  • But it is definety fast

  • Its gotta be a 4 cylinder because you can hear them, im going with a Civic 7972392-87878787878-0

  • Smart?

  • my first guess wass a radical

  • I have no clue wot car that is but i know for a fact that the video is made in Wales,UK.

    if u watch TopGear u'll see they test the merc Black series over there (season 11 episode 2)

  • That really sounds like a viper acr, plus its a manual trans and the engine noise is coming from the front of the car (where the camera is) and its got the same transmission whine as a new acr.

  • good call man good call

  • thts what i thought its in the front and maybe a v8 or v10 its really nice through

  • its a şahin from turkey

  • It's a new Lada Kalina from Russia. 100%.

  • its a catrham r500 superlight watch autocars video car against bike and ull here they sound same

  • it's a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

  • ZR1?

  • its a renault twingo rs i´m sure XD

  • Dodge Viper

  • This was the Lambo LP560-4 it was in a comparison test along with the GT-R, R8 and lotus elise SC, they chose this one road and the gov was gentle enough to close it for an entire day just to do the comparison. this comparison was soly on which car does the fastest time in the road they chose, its a really good comparison and im just wondering when they'll post it here on youtube? i dont wanna spoil it or anything, but this just a heads up for whats coming.

  • Several key points:

    1) No turbo/supercharger whine. NA engine.

    2) The gearshifts are relatively long. Manual transmission.

    3) The click-clack of shifting the gears is very unique, most specifically to the Audi R8 with the metal shift-gate

    Final thoughts: Some kind of R8. Definitely not the V12 diesel. I doubt it's the high horsepower V10 version, but I'd be glad to be wrong :)

  • The R8 is not the only car with that same shift-gate.

  • Even if it is a shared shift-gate (and I don't believe it is exactly, they would only share with Lamborghini, and when do you ever see those in a manual?

    Was I, or was I not right?

  • Not right. It sounds like a V10 to me. The only thing that could give you a chance at being right is if they had the V10 R8 during that road test, which they did not. The Gallardo and the Murcielago are commonly fitted with a 6-speed manual, which is the same part fitted to the R8's. The paddle shifters are like a $3000 option.

    Also, I am reasonably familiar with the R8 and very familiar with the engine (same from RS4). It does not sound like that.

  • Sorry, you're wrong hvissotz.

    They put up the video for the entire test on their website, under "Britain's best driver's car". Comparison between Lotus Elise SC, KTM X-bow, Audi R8, Lambo Gallardo LP560, and Nissan GTR (fugly).

    Through the in-car videos you can hear the R8 is the only one shifting with the clacking as you can hear here. Plus the Lambo is an E-gear, not manual.

    Sorry if you can't tell the difference between a V8 and a V10 on your computer's speakers.

  • Alright T h00p, if that is your real name, you win this round. To be honest I looked into it a bit after making my last comment and was having second thoughts anyway.

  • You all could be right - there are a few different ways to build a V8 - one way is to stick two straight fours together - which would sound similar to what we just heard . It could be a V10 too - but the sound at high revs isn't what I'm used to hearing from high revving V10s. A high spec flat 6? - but I know and live with high revving flat sixes - and they don't sound like that they are in a league of their own due to the flat configuration rendering them with a unique firing order & sond

  • lambo lp560 deffo

  • maybe its calrkson in the black.

  • sounds a lot like the mtm r8

  • m3 v8?

  • is it a ford fiesta?

  • the sound of the engine is too laud.. so it need to be at the front i think.. so it cant be a porsche... hmm.. a ferrari or a lambo.. i think not.. the sound of the cars is too different.. it can be a V6 maybe a V8.. i think a V6.. at the front a V6.. hmm.. maybe a 4 door saloon??? hmm?from germany?heh..

  • I think its a Prius

  • haha

  • imagine that on 2 wheels

  • it'd be on hell of an engine

  • I think its a tvr or some german car. No way is it a italian. Its six cyl, there is no boost tho. no wastegate(s) or bov(s). That nasty quick gearbox- i dunno...

  • definitely not a Ferrari or a lambo, the sound of those engines is quite particular, now for the way it goes off, I would say is more like an old porsche or a ruf, just listing carefully to de engine, its quite similar to cr2 yellow bird, or something along those lines, is not deep enough as to be and 8 much less a 10 or a 12, and exhaust doesnt match a high power 4 so it is a powerful six, and being the Gbox the way it goes and the way the car goes on the turns specially that 90" old Porshce

  • already checked it out with autocar. lp560-4

  • see it sounds way different inside the car, that v10 shreeks on the outside views. Thanks for that.

  • Well thank you very much, I would've not believe it. But thanks, sounds quite different from what I remember of lambos.

  • lamborghini all the way !!!

  • EVO? or Tercel 1.5? lol

  • Porsche GT2 ?? Co to jest slinik Sound !!

  • its a high revving v8 bmw m3 or ferrari scudria maybe or ascari

  • its the new ford feista st

  • LP560-4

  • deffinate lambo and im pretty sure its a Gallardo dunno if its a Superleggera tho hard to tell search on Superleggera and you can hear its a gallardo something or other

  • Lamborghini for sure.

  • yup, its his White E93 M3.

  • "Rondezvous" anyone?

  • Defo a lambo lp560

  • TBH, on board footage always looks quick when you mount the camera low, but obvs this is still fast. Sounds ace too

  • I think I know what car this is. I have seen a video I think it was a Ferrari vs a Lamborghini and they had them both on on this road (at least I think it is) and they started one then after that they started the other. Then they played the videos side by side so you could see which was faster. If you know which video I am talking about can you link it please? Would be nice to see if I am right.

  • Well I think, according to those super smooth gearchanges, this has to be the new Nissan GTR. For the first time I thought it could be the LP560-4 but it hasn't got such quick gearbox.
