Top Gear Caterham R500 VS Veritas RS3

[youngster0924]

Looks like a mercedes- benz



[felipe98]

I'd be more embarrassed if I drive the veritas, the caterham it's much better looking car

[Jiefyang]

@ymaniac07 thanks

[caterhamtv]

I personnaly don't think that it's ebarasing to be seen in a caterham , on the cotrary

[TheMan6407]

that veritas rs3 looks a lot like the mercedes stirling moss

[Speedstar235]

I would love to own both. Roofless cars are epic awesome :D

[Jiefyang]

which season and episode is this?

[ymaniac07]

@Jiefyang S12E06 sorry for the delay

[qqqqq851]

can anybody explain me why when the veritas starts its lap it has a camera on the top and after  the first corner its on the right?

[ThePranster]

It's his opinion, that's all.

[peterfaj]

I don't get it. I would much rather be seen in a Caterham than that ... odd ... umm ... thing.

Why would someone be embarrassed about driving a Caterham?

[twitterboy96]

how could hammond say the rs500 is a dweebs car, i want to build one, dont think i want to now :(

[SuperStig1992]

Ermmm...geeks and nerds? The Caterham is brilliant car and for around that price it has similar power to weight than the not so good looking Veyron!

[MrMadpenguin]

The Veritas looks kind of... Evil.

[rafa281]

What Season/Episode is this?

[ymaniac07]

@rafa281 S12E06 better late than never i guess

[Kuriousgorge87]

I know its not a big deal but i think jeremy does a better job in commentating stigs hot laps... just more exciting.

[eurosceptic1]

Caterham anyday of the week, that other thing looks fucking stupid with one seat to the left.

Fuck off Hammond you little prick

[dee18f]

Caterham anyday!! Just look at it, listen to it and the way it moves!! :)

[2girls1freak]

girls car

[mannybugs1]

what is that song when he tests the handling?!!!!

[evideopower]

It kinda looks like the SLR Mclaren Stirling Moss, but with a much cheaper price tag.

[FORTY848]

i want that caterham so much

[05Rudey]

Nice Bellstaff jacket Hammond, i prefer the Caterham, the Veritas, tho a nice car, looks a little over designed and Vulger.

[idiockubaa]

All I need.

[Shundra]

Hammond sux with graph.

[TheBrokenEclipse]

Whats with everyone talking down on the Veritas? Have you actually seen the final model? It looks amazing. It's that simple.

[FreddieMTB]

As an ent am I the only one that heard the bmw engine originally has 420 bhp?

[teamphat]

The Veritas looks silly

[steddyeddy1100]

geek

[Exowar01]

i Would look Cool in a Caterham !

[wawabug]

what is it like against the v8 atom?

[ymaniac07]

@wawabug the atom is currently the fastest car round the track

[TheBrokenEclipse]

@wawabug Well the Atom is (personally) much better, though its also so much more expensive that its in two different leagues.

[AboutFormulaOne]

Hammond's hair at the beginning looks like a dead fox LOL

[AkBoy1000]

the wheels dont even look like they are moveing

[TeddyGrahamFreak]

The front of the caterham looks like a sporty version of the citroen 2cv. Still love it though.

[ps3maracaz]

I don't want to seem critical of the R500 here, but wouldn't you buy something esle for £1,000,000?

[vithaj92]

@ps3maracaz The R500 doesnt cost 1 mil....

[ps3maracaz]

@vithaj92 I know. If you saw earlier, some guy said he won £1 million in the lottery and they he drives a £40K Caterham.

[Arthurzeiro]

The caterham is faster than a veyron,but you should be a maniac to drive it as fast as the Stig.

[TehMadCat]

@Arthurzeiro What no it's not? Not even CLOSE!

[JoshO812]

They reckoned that the caterham would have been around a second faster if it had been a warmer day.

[E3Smoothe]

it looks a little bit the Mach 5 from speed racer! i like it

[folkrace4life]

i own a caterham r500 ultralite ( all carbonfiber)

[joranpoort]

@folkrace4life Sweden? Nah.

[folkrace4life]

@joranpoort, why not ?

[joranpoort]

@folkrace4life you lie

[folkrace4life]

@joranpoort do you have evidence ?

[joranpoort]

@folkrace4life you're only 21... -_-'

[folkrace4life]

@joranpoort i won 1,2 milion £ on a lottery ticket

[joranpoort]

@folkrace4life and then you woke up

[MrAmansyed]

I wonder which idiot buyed the veritas.

[DFDFusion1]

2:24 the greatest sound ever :D

[squeakyboi96]

that veritas might be ugly and not ridiculously fast, but it does sound AWESOME

[TheSimsterC]

reaction to seeing someone in an R500: WOAH awesome that guy is very lucky and has a good taste in cars! :D

reaction to seeing someone in a veritas: WTF IS THAT. the driver must be blind or some rich playboy with more money than sense.

[arielsfish]

Veritas can go back to the 30's I want that Cateram 500 or a super 7 or pretty much any caterham that looks like a moke on roids.

[captmcneil]

So the Audi R8 is just as fast, has a roof, airbags, a radio, comfortable suspension, leather, depreciates virtually not at all - because its Audi quality - and costs half as much. Sorry, I don't get the Veritas. If I buy a focused track day car it either needs to be quick as hell or cheap.

[DavidONthePianist]

Which is the song at 5:48?

[defaultoasis]

mogwai fear satan 3:33

[wakawakawuwi]

did anyone notice that the weather changes during the caterham lap :P

[schuegrafma]

Driving the Veritas is like driving a penis shaped car.

[crazzywolf37]

veritas awesome amazing beautiful sound but ughly as hell

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]

that's got to be a fun fucking little car, that 7

[dahorn100011]

the veritas has a nice noise, a very deep V8 bellow

[sigurd1979]

Either of them is less embarrassing than the minivan I learned to drive in.

[OwnageProductions03]

I think they both look excellent.

[VladimirVLD]

"It looks like a 1930s racing car...from the FUTURE!" RFOL

[LamborghiniGP]

song 2:31?

[puffead]

@LamborghiniGP such great heights by the postal service

[sergitogibson]

look at Hammond's hair at the begining :b

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

9.56

[FWQR3T]

ha ha get fucked veyron

[lugeeman]

It kinda reminds me of the Mach 5.....

[rosun82]

I'm really convinced the stig is michael Schumacher after seeing that caterham run

[joey1364]

that caterham looks so fun around that track 

[americanu197]

both mid-life crisis cars

[steis91]

At 3.23 the wheels doesn't seams to be spinning just because the fps of the video camera were equal to the speed of the wheels,there is nothing strange in that.

[66606cl66]

@steis91 looks pretty cool though :D

[WolfKill01]

I will take the Caterham please. You can even paint "nerd" on the side of it if you please.

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

@WolfKill01 i bet after u own 1 u will wan to sell it....

[WolfKill01]

@EVERLIVERPOOL I disagree completely. Something this fun would be impossible for me to sell XD

[Riles07]

in Latin "veritas" means "truth". Just sayin'

[13lackLight]

3:23 the car is so good the wheels dont even need to spin to make it move.

[player1vladimir]

@13lackLight they are spinning



[hussellreilman]

Why is there kevlar in it?

[AldosAC]

I would absolutely love to own a Caterham. I would feel absolutely no shame driving around it in.  That said, I think the Veritas look pretty good. Not in the same way the 458 Italia does, but in that "It's so ridiculous you can't help but love it" kind of way. Yes, it is loud, outlandish, totally impractical, and severely over priced, but no matter where you go, you'd be turning heads. You might look like a tool driving it, but that's half the fun.

[liud128]

so twice the price of an r8, without the nice roof, and non-toolish looks?

[MrNickMMM]

Veritas=Powerless SLR Stirling Moss.

[MrNickMMM]

Veritas=Future moel of the SLR Stirling Moss.

[DeltaPhi79]

Hammond looks awesome in those sunglasses.... :D XD

[xXIGUNNERIXx]

haha loved it the cars faster than a buggatti yet so small lol

[jsquad192837465]

I'm a geek and a nerd so this would be a perfect car for me.

[baldurus1]

I think hamster got his Audis and BMWs mixed up.

[TruckingStu]

i prefer Ariel Atom's and KTM'S

[RetardedAndRandomTV]

THEY MUST MAKE A CATERHAM FOR TALL PEOPLE!!!!!

[Blueball0120]

@RetardedAndRandomTV You can fit. A person told me that his like 6 foot tall and he fits good.

[masjic]

@RetardedAndRandomTV thay do

[TheJasonmais]

But is a illegal copy of Mercedes slr sterlling moss!!!!!

[oddguy314]

It's like a 1930's race car from the future. I hope everyone got that fantastic oxymoron. xP

[dalesalsa]

Damnn... That Caterham is probably the most fun on 4 wheels that some one can possibly buy -- probably anywhere but definitely for the money!!! Excellent...

It should get a small attachment for a roof -- It rains a lot here in Puerto Rico and wouldn't want to be caught in a rain with out a small light roof. Excellent little car!!!

[ke70hibino]

Giant Killer

[DekiKrcic1]

3:24 are the wheels spinning??:O

[poojacrew]

@DekiKrcic1 i was just wondering the same thing

[always4vikram]

@DekiKrcic1

YEAH I DUNNO HOW ??

[devil8988]

I guess "6" people would rather settle for a bike(not a motorcycle)

[zertyahya]

Veritas is so fast that wheels stop spin at 3:20

[Polizei112]

the veritas would look very very nice with a roof.

[GenKenAkuma]

6 people are geeks, nerds and dweebs

[gta4rulesass]

3:22 through 3:25 the rims aint movin wow

[kaithode]

hamster is loosin hair! ;)

[mcduck5]

I would rather be seen in a caterham any day....

[KingVirmire]

Veritas looks much better

Caterham seems too plain imo

[DocHavoc0512]

the car looks fuckin amazing i wish they sold these in america veritas!

[XboxPhantom]

I have always loved BMW, watched this video and though it was a cool car then they said M series Engine all good!

[halflifemasta]

@XboxPhantom hey! you must be a COCK! ;)

[Crusader1987]

I don't know why Hammond thinks you look like a dweeb in the Caterham. I think anyone who drives that is a very smart person. Supercar performance for only a fraction of the supercar price.

[Shadowpillar]

I love the 7, and I love the Veritas' engine.

the engine should go into the 7.

[u83]

I think it'd be way more embarrassing to be seen in the Veritas than in the Caterham.

[chunchuck2000]

caterham ftw

[richboy900]

I wouldn't be embarrased to be seen in a Caterham, I'd be smiling on every corner. I'd love to own one, but its not an everyday kinda car

[EccentricRichard]

Wait for the Ariel Atom V8... bet that just BLITZES the lap board. The Veyron Supersports may have 140% more power, but it also weighs some 1300kg more (i.e. a whole Ford Focus more)...

[SOLIDSNAKEONLY1]

2.9s holy shit

[paullubliner]

That little guy is worried about being seen in a Caterham..... Issues dude. ISSUES!

[DOOMcal1ber]

2:32 The Postal Service FTW

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

i watched in disbelief with my mouth wide open when i saw the caterham go 'round corners...

[IllyaMuromets]

WTF?!!!!. Veritas RS3 looks like crap. you got to be a gay cock to drive one of those, i hate how it looks, i'll take the R500 anyday

[kuel]

taht whole "cool" thing is stupid, i woldnt mind owning a rs4

[NeumannAlfred]

That Veritas RS3 looks and sounds stunning - beautiful car.

[roshiaucigasha4]

10:30 ints says veyron :| ?

[roshiaucigasha4]

10 : 30 ints says veyron :| ?

[TeabagTore]

The car looks like something Batman would drive!

[factionxvt408x]

The caterham looks way better in my opinion.

[pazack592]

lol 3:59 sounds like austin powers

[joeyisballer]

hahah the song in the beginning is from commercials

[drappke]

3:24... mystery wheels...

[Dirtboyindahouse]

truth is, tht Rs500 goes like god is pushing it along

[moonfox3]

3:24 to 3:27 the wheels dont move

[moonfox3]

man you can hear the turbo on that thing

[pidevildog07]

driven exclusively by COCKS lol

[Kminatz]

whats the song at 5:50

[vrsaat]

what m5 engine developed 420hp? e39 is 400 e60 is 500 and older one is like 340ish??

[125conman]

@vrsaat He said the v8 from the m3 not m5

[dadolphins1]

Veritas RS3 Is Faster Than The AudI R8 4.2 FSI Quttaro YES I LIKE IT IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE R8'S 4.2L RS4 V8 420BHP

[Troyce3000]

whats the song at 5:49?

[adokenk3nnbasil]

song at 3:38,5:20

[nightmarejr]

Wow... the wheels skate across the asphalt 3:23

[Fox1991]

Nice rims on the RS3.

[AnAngryPossom]

I would take an R500 or any Caterham for that matter. I mean it posted a time faster than a Veyron a car with an engine almost 8X lager. Talk about performance. and who says you can't look cool in a Caterham? they're sporty. and you look really cool beating the pants of big super cars for sure

[EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

4:35 i want those wheels

[xraycortina]

I have to disagree with Hamster on this one, concerning looks. The(much slower) Veritas is too show-offy, far more likely to incite friendly cries of "tosser!" as you drive past. Also, Hamster owns, or used to own, a Morgan Aero..... cockmobile?

I have had 3 Audis, back in the days when their only reputation was for solidity. 2 GT coupés and, my fave, a 1973 100s coupé.

[loglog7]

Jesus Christ the veritas is ugly!!! Couldn't be much more ugly!!!

[PadooBoy274]

that Caterham R500 is the new Shelby Cobra

[Theguitarwhiz]

in 2.9 sec

[yourbestfriend6492]

You can get the M5 V10 in the Veritas as an option. I think it packs over 600 bhp. Pretty intense looking car.

[maturerobph]

the Veritas seems overpriced and poor value for money, many better cars out there for half the money

[SagaraSouske]

Actually the little Caterham looks more like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[JACKtheRIPP3R189]

they both look silly.

[Terziev9]

3:21 - look at the wheels :)

[HyperLeafBlower]

I'd feel way less self concious in the Caterham

[supraman350hp]

song at 5:20?

[guga300]

@supraman350hp

Heroes by François-Eudes Chanfraults

from Donkey Punch soundtrack

[limpampoo]

Who cares how you look in a car, when you have the performance of super-puper car for a subaru money....You must be an idiot to think so! And it's a track car, who cares how do you look on track??

[guvnahead84]

@ turkcobra101, I do agree with you mate. I needs to be a hard top and not a 1930's speed racer. I think if they lengthed it , widened it more, reworked the back end and added a wing and a front splittter then maybe I'll buy it but for now, no way

[Boss351Mustang]

At 5:47 what song is that

[ryankuehn12]

E-PRO by beck

[Boss351Mustang]

Thanks man

[agentry880]

Awesome!

[mcarthurwallace]

Ahh yes, the caterham is embarrassing, and the veritas isn't? I would feel like a complete tool driving it

[Pick1980a]

@mcarthurwallace FUCK what other people think!

I want to go fast and I don't care what package that comes in!

If people have an issue with it then that says more about them than you!
