Top Gear - Ariel Atom - BBC

[roossi]

why 600cc ?!?!?!? wtf? why doesn't anyone know how to test a bike vs car?!?! 600 cbr is a scooter compared to a hayabusa on a straight or a gsxr 1000 k7 on a corner, or why not 70 hp ktm 690 smc it will go in to every corner with full throttle in a curvy track it will even beat 1000 gsxr cos it's a supermoto.

[AndroidJdm]

@roossi When they compare the V8 Atom they use a Bmw S1000RR

[Powderedhulk]

What's the song that starts at 2:51? I heard it on a movie called Snatch before. Anyone know the name of it?

[BillionDollarDon]

@Powderedhulk

Mirwais - Disco Science

[mun3693]

Dude fucking mint

[insideyou21]

wow.. this car is jus 15lks inr.. :D awesome!



[TheAcdcnz]

this just shows you how fucking cool motorbikes are!! fail!! lol

[sdfrdsf34]

gotta love that this is recorded with a pickle

[GILMOURED1]

3:10 :O aoh mao Gaod

[Linneh]

Put it up against a Fireblade and we'll see.

[TheConsanto]

@leedstown your are very very very wrong . I think that clarkson is one of the best drivers in the world . Of course , he is not the best but his sense of humour is very good

[tammelol]

Hmm.. i've driven a track day car that has 120 horsepower and only weighs 540 kilograms and the acceleration was unbelieveable, it did 0-60 in about 4,5 seconds so i can kind of imagine what 300 horsepower and 500 kg would feel like! =)

[MrA2nis]

I Am ALIEEEN!

[leedstown]

clarckson knows nothing about cars on the first top gears he was hopeless could not drive a lap of any circuit without going off.would like to see him do a rally or touring cars he is full of shit like hammond or may. glorified tv presenter

[sovietserb]

IM AN ALIEN!!

[Coraxons]

The gap was 3 sec. You can't start at 1, you have to start at 0!

[rhoadesian]

Why didn't they race it against a 1000cc bike? 

[jbyo16]

@rhoadesian I know, right? If they would have put it up against a 1000 cc gixxer or an R1 it would have been raped in the ass.

[Mindtweaker2]

@jbyo16

Right, CLEARLY putting a bike with an even worse turning capability than a 600cc against it would have resulted in a win. Clearly.

It takes nothing less than a 250hp motoGP bike with a godly rider to get around somewhere like Laguna Seca faster than an atom (1:22 vs 1:31). No production road bike out there would beat that car around most race tracks, and would be unable to beat the Atom V8 which has beaten the original atom's times around most tracks by an average of 13-15 seconds.

[Mindtweaker2]

@rhoadesian

Because a 1000cc turns even worse than a 600cc, and if they didn't pick something that could turn worth a damn it would have had even less chance.

[MBaran1992]

"it's so fast, it will destroy your entire face." haha xD

[zzahaj]

hahaha POLISH CAR!!!!!!

[blendistars]

[jaz2791]

in jeremys road test he says you will never miss an apex.but when stig drives it runs wide and loses time.i think they did this delibratly because otherwise it would have been fastestand people like ferrari wouldnt want there cars to look slow

[hichampleased]

i love this show

[schecterguitarsfan]

this car should be compared to a 1000cc sports bike imo but nevertheless! that atom is amazing!

[Barvbarv]

I AM AN ALIEN!

[NASAvsPETE1]

sux, its taken 7 years to get this car into Australia, doesn't matter ill be purchasing a fireblade honda instead.

[ritammukherjee]

true , atom is an engineering marvel,but we must remember, it is a zillion times easier(safer) (lesser braking requirements) at corners, and off course, no helmets, and manual shift(which bikers are always better at), wish was tested against a over 1200cc super sports bike, .. i want to experience the face pull away sometime, but, its different having an 1200+cc engine between ur legs, and having one sucking ur brains away, ..

[TypeRSXdc5]

@ritammukherjee I've heard 1200cc bikes are kinda pigs in the corners though.

[standardcars]

my channel real cars



[chodewarriors1123]

This comment has received too many negative votes.

[AdieuAndy]

[ziad991]

[orotekusa]

Insane! What a way to get a face lift!!

[alanbstard4]

Best way to get plastic surgery.

[SanomatHelsingin]

You own one car that is mobile and five cars that ain't.

[pe6obutilkata]

834 dislike.. Nice try Fifth Gear

[tafftastic]

Racing against a CBR600? Why race not against a proper, liter sportsbike like a CBR1000?

[andreww1212]

@tafftastic Yes. I was thinking the same thing. Of course a 600cc can't keep up.

[gm556]

500 kg? jesus thats crazy

[chickengoneturkey2]

Ariel Atom, hmm, DEAR SANTA!

[667jaymz]

[WhiteChocolate580]

Remember when you could watch a video without commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by user and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

Thumbs up 2 keep at the top of the page!

[theMstanglover]

@WhiteChocolate580 Remember when you could watch a video without people in the comments cry about everything.

[snappytom1013]

Funniest Clarkson clip EVER!!!

[jezzer222]

Have to have a go on one of those! I think the new single 'make it alright' by 'Vanilla Gorillaz' would make the perfect soundtrack! Like this comment if you agree!

[lucusinfabula]

John Merrick is en experti in australian freshwater crayfish of the Cherax genus!

[jimbolightningy]

This has nothing to do with the atom but the topgear australia magazine. HONESTLY how this piece of garbage can be put to publish is unbelievable , full off ads, bullshit that i dont want to read such as road tests (JUST DO A REVIEW) take up 90 %t of the magazine and stuff i actually want to read like news and reviews are harly there. Seriously you went to university with extremly good enters yet people on the internet can make better quality content than do who dicks. Magazine=shit Show = :)

[LawrenceLugar500]

The Ariel Atom is probably as close to an Formula 1 car a civilian can experience/buy.

[cptpancakes]

@LawrenceLugar500 yea, except for the Lotus T125 haha



[LawrenceLugar500]

@cptpancakes The T125 doesn't count. It's only a track-legal car.

[rvind92g]

@LawrenceLugar500 You forgot the Caparo T1.

[dannayc]

@LawrenceLugar500 Not quite. The Lotus T125 is far closer to F1!

[LawrenceLugar500]

@dannayc The Lotus T125 doesn't really count though -- because it's ONly a track-legal car.

[takis150]

@LawrenceLugar500 To Elliniko supercar tou korre

[takis150]

@takis150 THIS IS THE GREEK ANSWER TEARS AGOOOO

[takis150]

@takis150((((( To Elliniko supercar tou korre))))))

[MarsManatee]

@LawrenceLugar500 The ariel atom V8, more like. Although I'd argue in favor the Caparo t1.

[denizio20]

you need a helmet on it deffo

[MrJRG97]

4:20 He looses his mind at this moment.

[TerrySleeper]

Please, God, let the grizzled old wanker crash the bike and then be taken to an NHS Burns Unit on the day of a public sector strike so that he can't be treated.

Just joking . . . LOL!

[evkoum]

Jeremy you are an ignorant! You should think before saying you want to have the persons that went on strike, shoot in front of their families!

IGNORANT!

[DerrenBrown100]

@evkoum 'Jeremy you are an ignorant!' You're a retard.

[megamidgetful]

[Freestyle2407]

@AaranAardvark says the guy who searches for Jeremy Clarkson videos.

[TheMicahlewis]

Bugatti W16 in an Atom if you agree thumbs up if not thumbs down

[TheMicahlewis]

@Omega08082

YES its legal

[OohhPajjelloo]

if you get a better rider on that bike theres no doubt it would smoke this car.

[Omega08082]

It a freaking go-cart. Is this thing even street legal in the States? 

[ellisscubaguru]

@Omega08082

Who gives a toss - it,s legal in the real world

[liamsdomain]

I only watched half of this video and I already can tell this is way better then American Top Gear.

[fildan625]

Czech republic loves Top Gear. Thanks for this. very much. Thanks, you´re perfect

[vendetta911]

@MrMuffinMan971 Still, really shows that yes, you are 14 years old...oh well, I won't bother argue. Just a tip: Improve your vocabulary when it comes to insult eh? Wish you great luck with that ;)

[refleXstarr]

Ariel Atom V8 is a great gokart not car.

[KeselowskiTheMan]

MrMuffinMan971.  That last comment is easily the most incoherent rant I've ever seen on YouTube.
