Prodrive P2 review - Top Gear - BBC

[toothpik00]

So basically if they put that diff system in a standard WRX STi, then that car would match the P2? Why can we not get our hands on this tech?!

[potbrownies1663]

what is the song called at like 35 seconds in the video?

[Sasori327]

1:33 it weihgs as much as a pubic hair and it goes like one too?

[fransizcocuk]

looks like cars in GTA ... one of the uggliest of 2006 !

[PooPoo2U]

I wish they'd make this. It's a beautiful car, and more importantly I always wanted a car that sounds like it's killing squirrels!

[onionbuskut]

i want so much....

[kyotohot]

スゲーな。こんな珍しいクルマをトップギアは取り上げるんだ。

[ryanrenesis]

ME WANT THIS CAR NOWWWWWW

[SuperIponk]

somekind of jokes with this car..

[Prostreetcrazy]

It's like a mini GTR

[meadows2488]

the sec i seen it i hit like' it

[gherrera29]

Haha. Squirrel mincer XD

[Htown156]

Your dads evo weighs twice that too

[helmetboy45]

front of a bentley, side of an exige, back of a lambo

[HenryHenHenners]

345bhp? wow my dads evo has double that!

[rcsterio]

@HenryHenHenners

yes your dad is an hero.

[itotalfail]

@HenryHenHenners but the P2 will still smoke it. U mad?

[HenryHenHenners]

@itotalfail i think you'll find it won't. look at my vids then choose what to say.

[itotalfail]

@HenryHenHenners On the straights - may be, on the circuit - for sure ;) By the way, if your DAD's Evo has double the hp, then what are you bragging about?

[Rustopia01]

@HenryHenHenners if i am a chick, your father would have had a higher chance of getting laid from that statement. your chances would be none.

[TheNorthBest]

who would dislike this?

[tockclimber]

omg hate the music in that stupid hertz driving advert!!

[ikra]

goodbye gtr. hello P2

[iam0wnage3]

Ugh..isn't that "noise" the sound that a turbo makes when it has no BOV, so when you let off the throttle the throttle body closes, meaning the air has nowhere to go and rushes back through the turbo spinning it in reverse which not only stops all your boost, but can cause the turbo stress?

[casseebest]

@iam0wnage3 the antilag system kind of works like not letting all the boost escape through the blow off valve, so it keeps som turboboost in the system all the time so it has a lot less turbolag.

[dethmetalderique]

@casseebest actually anti lag work by making the fuel mix richer and sending it through the exhaust where it ignites on contact with the hot exhaust pipes, which then goes to the turbo keeping its RPM in a usable range to create no lag.

[177GearBreak]

Does anyone know, whats the name of the song is 0:33 ????? PLZ

[semister5226]

So what that guy is saying= WE ARE RUSSIANS! WE DRIVE U!

and I'd pay 70000 quid to get one

[mando1337]

It's not only the engine that's taken from Subaru. The car has been built around the japanese kei Subaru R1 chassis

[001jamy]

They should make that car and in production.

[gasteinerboy]

the only cool abou that car is the sound off the turbos

[JOSHWO102]

@12389h The surge region, located on the left-hand side of the compressor map (known as the surge line), is an area of flow instability typically caused by compressor inducer stall. The turbo should be sized so that the engine does not operate in the surge range. When turbochargers operate in surge for long periods of time, bearing failures may occur. When referencing a compressor map, the surge line is the line bordering the islands on their far left side. Compressor surge is when the air pre

[JOSHWO102]

@12389h compressor surge only happens on boost, he is shifting during the sound so it is in fact turbo flutter which is caused by a bov being too restrictive

[12389h]

@JOSHWO102 Either way it has a similar effect on the turbo. Although it's not as harmful as surge.

[THE916AZN]

Lol was that Rosetta stone or something when the stig was driving?

[ACDCsuperfan91]

"sounds like squirrels being pushed into an engine. It's a squirrel mincer!" XD

[jdubzmp]

I really wish Pro Drive would get there heads out of there ass, and make this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PlummRS406]

@jdubzmp this is loosly what the 2014 WRX will be....

[Cairnivore]

@PlummRS406 i wish



[semister5226]

Shame it's not going into production....

[TheBugattiking96]

hmm subaru, aston martin and audi r8= sexy

[BJ2991GT500]

Does anyone know what the name of the song is that starts at 0:33?

[TJ347]

Dave Richards is an idiot. He wants Prodrive to enter F1, but can't see where actually building the P2 would make the chances of his proposed team actually taking the grid, to say nothing of having an actual budget to work with, dramatically better. No fool like an old fool.

[xaiber16]

Too much lag will kill you... well this car doesn't have one cuz it has an anti-lag. get it? xD

[12389h]

Anti-lag - Basically when the turbo is off boost, because the engines at low RPM, the ECU allows car to run rich, causing fuel to ignite in the exhaust manifold. This keeps the turbo spinning even at low revs.

ATD is basically Active Yaw Control which is also found in Evos and that noise isn't the wastegate, it's compressor surge and it's bad for your turbo.

[CDNchewy]

I love that sound

[Arctic222Avenger]

Full potential of the Impreza STi engine, unlocked.

[SR300FM]

"Animal and machine working in perfect harmony"... which is the animal and which is the machine ?

[americanVmuscle]

@SR300FM the stig is the animal and the P2 is the machine



[SR300FM]

@americanVmuscle I thought it was the other way around.

[JoshO812]

its compressor stall.

[lilgampla]

you got to love the noise from turbo 

[SuicidalBannana]

look a bit like an r8

[TheBaje2011]

he said it has a wastegate, which is another name for a BOV

[bowyer56]

is it me or did the engineers explaination actually make perfect sense?

[keoki777]

Is it BOV flutter or compression surge?

[randomdude10010]

The diff made all the difference

[Chokchoo]

Looks very twitchy on the track

[nextpage10]

4:32 looked like gta sa guy throwing up.. haha

[maxhardt]

it is only a big robot. I like how it looks but it kind of makes me scared.

[Digitrex666]

i'd jerk off a camel to drive this car

[TheRedfire18]

It's just a box whith holes in it, allot of holes...

[ken360th]

me gusta............

[caio20v]

What's the name of this type of Turbo Valve??

[phantomloita]

@caio20v its a dose basically no blow off valve when you lift of the throttle the air hits a wall goes back wards spins the turbo the other way and make that sound. it's know technically as a compression surge.

[sludged08]

@caio20v called a by pass valve 

[joelchils]

i want one... lol

jokes ass bov

[clifborder4fm]

squirels being pushed into the engine is another term for compression surge?

[gallardo352316]

0:00 to skip to ads

[poopyy99]

ok what is the name of the music at 00:34

[poopyy99]

i just came

[netmatrix75]

if u ask me, this is the car that Subaru failed to make.

[MrMrShobear]

@netmatrix75

LOL in what way?

Subaru impreza's ( reasonably assuming were talking bout impreza) by far, offer much more for the price than any car in their class (specifically Mitsubishi lancers) and offer similar technologies which are respectively just as advanced....And also remember Impreza's are road side cars.. so there's alot of factors why its not a failure and shouldnt even be compared to this engineering gem pro drive developed.

Btw I test drove the evo x and subaru impreza today(:

[netmatrix75]

@MrMrShobear

Have u seen the last and last and last attempt by Subaru to make a cars that is supposedly to be more super than the WRX? Its all came up top 10 in the ugliest car every time. and not to mention time and time again. hahaha. They don't have good car designers there.

[MrMrShobear]

@netmatrix75

Well i wouldnt be able to comment on the aesthetics of the car with others or even attempt to debate about it because its obviously very subjective... and my personal opinion about the 5 doors is that they're incredibly sexy (imo). When I drove the Sti i was surprised to see its far more luxurious that id thought it would be for a road-side rally car just as the evo as but was a little bit more relaxed on how stiff the suspension was and damper displacement. compared to the wrx, no

[netmatrix75]

@MrMrShobear

I was wondering if this has a WRX chassis underneath? I mean it would save a lot to use that chassis that u can just use the same engine. The only cost would be making brand new panels and interior fittings. Still cost a lot. My point is why Subaru never made such a thing but Prodrive which only mods WRX for races does. Strange world this is.

[MrMrShobear]

@netmatrix75

I wouldn't know to be honest. Pro Drive is like hardcore enthusiast 3rd party, that much i know, and they sure love their Subaru's. They pretty much develop a lot of technologies as a usual TOP TIER independent 3rd party like Saleen's, So I WOULD be surprised if they used the exact same chassis. I even heard that pro drive was thinking about expending on a formula 1 team (remarkable right?) So I don't think they worry too much about costs. I also don't think they mod only Subaru (:

[gazboselectamo]

@netmatrix75 The underlying chassis is based on a Subaru R1 kei car, much shorter wheelbase than an Impreza. Bit too short imo.

[ShakaAantoine]

It should be a crime not to make this car, and sell it SMH!

[brenjunior]

this car should be in transformers :)

[Back7sword]

1:40 one of the funniest thing ive seen on TG

[tomcornwall83]

I think ever petrol head in the world wants one.

[USAFSmiley87]

Damn that thing is BEAUTIFUL! looks like it would be very appealing to americans, great body, great technology inside, a shame it wont go into production.

[jolichja]

@USAFSmiley87 Are you being sarcastic?

[Dcsa1996i]

Ugliest car ever

[DLTrally]

That is one of the coolest, most amazing cars in history. Imagine how amazing would it be to own a P2 with a EXE-TC safari suspension! Perfect car for Baja!

[dhiraj12378]

It looks like china designed a wanna audi R8

[Zephcas]

@dhiraj12378 Umm... what? ProDrive is English, Subaru is Japanese.

[dhiraj12378]

@Zephcas well then i guess england designed a german wanna be audi R8 birtish envy germans anyways

[zabimaru1593]

@23CHRISAIR23 Really bro.. really?

[12iannn]

I'd buy this car just for the sound

[DevPack]

does anyone else get that crappy gray box when u expand the video?

[LauenPower]

@DevPack yup. 

[sphinxofthenewage]

anti lag is anti turbo lag in other words.

[marcoffs95]

4:30 rofl bwarrrgghh

[Sunnied913]

*sadface*

[hidinginreach]

not in production? i think i am going to cry.

[papapetad]

Are you sure it's the same designer as the mclaren f1? This thing is a fugly toy. It works but obviously they didnt care much about looks. Just make it quick, show off our tech work and slap some random shell on it. Just a little marketing ploy, no soul in this car.

[poepneukerobotjes]

it looks like a potato that has been peeled by an agressive but sloppy child

[omn1mous]

wow

what a beautiful car

[DRFTmonkeh]

BEN COLLINS

[nastydrum]

That is the best use of a turbo yet, not dumping all the built up boost in one go!! I'm glad some is making use of the available technology, we have had this stuff ( gyro sensors, roll, pitch & yaw sensors, accelerometers..... etc etc....) for many years in aircraft, it's time to put it into our autos!!!

[warrockplayer12]

isnt anti-lag in WRC rallycars?

[123dodgecharger]

Anti-lag is more like misfiring system

[ahgongx3]

the front of the car looks like a squirrel

[abu3aranki]

epic laugh 2:43 lol

[alexkvaskov]

hey anyone know the music at 00:40?

[ttiffom2016]

i luv my subie!

[katanamast279]

I'm loving the engine. I want a Subaru WRX STI. Those engines sound like muscle cars! This car is just as good if not better than one

[scotty688]

@katanamast279 Don't compare rice to muscle car, you'll make me cry :'(

[Intelpentium54321]

@scotty688 subarus done right aren't rice. Jap scrap done right isn't rice. Its the poor boys that get their hands on them that make them rice.

[Kohlefresse]

i would buy this car just because of the squirrel sound^^

[gaterzick]

anti-lag... so the turbo's don't lag and keep spooling to keep boost high. that was tough

[CelticArchangel]

That is as fucking shame... because the P2 is GORGOUS!!! If I had Jay Leno's bank account.. i'd buy a few. lol. Damn hot car.

[Dharma353]

awesome car

[teamkvs]

i heard the new toyota 86 is based on this car.

[nightbane3]

IT'S A SQUEARRUWL MINCUH!

[RTDragonCommando]

I can't believe Clarkson is making that mistake. Thats not the wastegate making that noise, thats a myth.

It's actually called Compressor surge, and it's when the throttle is closed on boost, the charge pushes back through the compressor turbine and makes that noise as it slows the compressor.

Wastegate flutter only occurs in partial throttle situations, where the throttle position keeps the boost in the wastegate's spring range, so it opens and closes rapidly.

[Metlhead443]

@RTDragonCommando Actually it's just a strange BOV sound...The Ultimate Aero TT has an even crazier one

[emashcmb]

R8 before its time.

[ilovemunichbeer]

man this thing looks ugly as hell

[Hatimoooo]

" I could fly like an eagle but ..?" HELP !!

[ColdFusion17]

@Hatimoooo

"but I cant be bothered."

[harj2009]

why is the BBC showing adverts ?

we pay 150 pounds a year to not see fucking adverts

[wendighoul]

@harj2009 Because this is YouTube, not the BBC. The majority of people who use this site do NOT pay television license fees.

[harj2009]

@wendighoul so ? block them off

ive seen plenty of American vids I cant see coz im in the wrong 'region'

limit the videos to uk only

bbc with its back door tax

[ZookanProductions]

@harj2009 It's not the BBC's choice, it's YouTube...

[TerryMMA85]

anti lag is when the turbo is kept spinning so there is no lag its instant full boost rather then waiting for it to increase to max boost.

[H3lloSE]

@TerryMMA85 hat lag -__-

[katanamast279]

This car has an aftermarket BOV. It sounds like the ones that you hear from Japan. You can hear it at 1:18

[motive]

@katanamast279 are you a retard, they made their own.

[vineethkuruvath]

ESC perfected

[bob333336]

Wastegates, making your car sound like it's got a pidgin trapped under the hood since the 1920's. ;)

[acidongitim]

This is what you get when you put together an R8 and a Focus one night in the garage ;)

[noodliepoodlie]

i bet i could make $1000(USD) off a bag of jeremy's barf.

[s0urc3c0d3]

I really really love the wastegate sound <3 ... awesome.

[frequency0007]

2:03..cool.

[HummerBoi2007]

now i know where did Audi get the R8 look

[parky1020]

is it juz me?, but that car's design reminds me of Audi R8 :p

[JackyRowe]

how can the kid to jeremy's left at 5:41 loko so bored??!! i'd kill to go on the live show!!

[joeli619]

@JackyRowe i think that kid is retard

[olipalli1]

Hey guys!! Whats the name of the song that starts at 0:34- and keeps going.????

[ChZ001]

"its dirty" Haha :D Love the squirrel sound xD Great test ^^

[Burn1ngSn0wMan]

Sounds like a Subaru :P

[yootubematt]

Ok so its very very ugly, but for that price and that performance, i can gladly deal with it.

[HNorback]

2:42 Rofl.. XD

[BotsAlva]

like it i wish I can buy one

watch?v=aglZsJFAt5s

[acidongitim]

I don't care about its looks, just add a paint job and a bodykit and problem solve

all i care about is its power, awesome

[dunti21]

@acidongitim a paint job and bodykit? What are you? 12 years old? however I do agree with you that it's power is very awesome

[acidongitim]

@dunti21 dude, what in "I don't care about its looks" that you don't understand? Tell me...I'm telling you, I'm not even serious about its body

[acidongitim]

2:04 - 2:06 I love that scene >.<

[EarlO100]

Love the look at 7:09 - 7:12 thereabouts

[heix0]

haaahahaaaaaa!!

[challengerlover2007]

This car reminds me of one from Burnout: Revenge. Like, one of the first ones you get for some reason...

[machinegunmana]

front end styling just doesn't do it for me, everything else seems great. don't think they should put in on the board since its not a production car.

[TheAtta786]

This car is just so in French Manufique, which I think is for me awesome, the greatest car ever built

[2fastnoscrew]

thumbs up for the squirells pushed into the engine XD

[adans20]

the wastegate sound is awesome!

[MasterReturns]

i love the chicks behind these guys

[queenzortje]

@MasterReturns I dont see any chicks at all

[justsomeguydude]

James is my fav.

[Nixdream]

BORING

[Enigyazoo]

@Nixdream

Nothing Jeremy does is boring! :)

[SupraNaturalTT]

Of all the years that Jeremy Claarkson has been driving turbocharged cars and still insists that the surging "squirrel sound" from the compressor wheel is the "waste gate", couldn't be more wrong. It is the blow off valve, the waste gate is to control your boost pressure. I have heard him refer to "waste gate" too many times in previous episodes.

[EmphaticItalic]

I would buy the car for that squirrel crushing sound alone

[jaboory1989]

give steroids to a 350z = audi R8

let the R8 grow up a lil bit and u have a prodrive P2

:P

[OOLWprufKW]

Pardon me, but this thing is absolutelly ugly^)) but i have to admit that this car is superb in engineering aspects...

[dontbelikethesun]

ive seen this car before online about 2 years ago its insane antilag is awesome. wish they would acutally produce this car.
