Supercharged speedboat - Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines - BBC

[d73Hify]

the dude driving is just like yeah what of it..

[999lifegoes]

HOLY CRAP!

[Saul0052]

how can a boat turn so fast 

[OlCapitain]

@Saul0052 its using a water pump and weighs very little. A few hundred pounds and wherever the water pump is pushing, it goes, does not take very much power to force something that light into a different direction

[SpeedFreakNO]

Those boats are just sick.

[MysteriousMayonaise]

"So, how to describe this thing. Well, look at it this way, a supercharged V8 water pump, nestling in a soap dish."

[RIMJIBLEY]

Yea!!!

[jmix6]

a supercharged v8 watercraft... is that even possible.... oh wait

[gargantuate]

now that's handling!

[RussianSpetsnaz0123]

i love how the driver isnt affected by the turning lol

[kawizzr14]

A supercharged v8 in a soap dish. HA!!

[hamzah336]

half or quarter of the boat dose even touch the water damm

[Schinanigans]

Jeremy isnt helping navigate very well =)

[baileythedudeman57]

he doesnt have power stearing ether these racing boats just like our drag boat uses cable stearing

[insulatedmemory]

dude is just calmly driving the vehicle

[DogGhost21]

OMG ITS HALF LIFE :D

[dalesalsa]

DID ANYONE Else think it looked like the Flying Motorcycles from STAR WARS?! That is awesome.. looks like alot of fun.. hhehe

[NickGallardo520]

imagine pulling someone behind that

[superboss742]

@NickGallardo520 yeah that would be sick

[julianbell90]

the air cleaners in that must be soaked like a bath sponge

[StudioGoldsmith]

That guy really can drive that boat.

[archiecat989]

Superb driving, whoever was doing that,,,,,,Respect!!!!

[Malinellosama]

isn't that the superboat series from new zealand? i saw them on MotorsTV, crazy shit XD

[Avantgardist]

How the fuck can a BOAT handle like a racing car? Where does it get the grip from? :-D

[kitt998]

@Avantgardist unlike a car, as long as the boat is in the water, it will always have 'traction'. Whereas a car's wheels can spin uselessly, the propeller will always be propelling the boat.

[babylon2233]

@kitt998 I'm not sure but I think this boat change the thrust angle to change direction so it doesn't need much grip to cornet fast.

[dx80cruiser]

@kitt998

No propellor, there jet boats. Jet boat racing is big in Aus and NZ

[anthcybo]

Is that Dale Earnhardt driving?

[Sturmbannfuhrer21]

@anthcybo Lol that does look like Dale Earnhradt wow.

[azbam87]

[MrJoerg1979]

wow - looks like a ton of fun... : ))

[EdAk333]

[finchy3269]

Thats nothing, check out my channel for the fastest jet sprint boat in the world 'Twin Turbo loose cannon'

Awesome! No terran vehicle could manouver like that.

[fuzzdmedic]

[weetnietgeen]

[Davide88roma]

OMG

[Elvarks]

Ok, it really looks like it's turing a lot faster than a formula 1 car..

[thomson765]

@Elvarks you may think that... but don't forget... a F1 car pulls an astonishing 5G

[roastoo00ooveges]

Normal New Zealand jetboat. Nothing special.

[Peacetotheworld12ify]

[zuzuku101]

supercharged lolzz.... ^^

[ferral97]

uhmmm thats y they wear a neck brace

[twitchsix20five]

its called a donut, and its to keep the helmet from hitting the collarbone.

[BBCWorldwideLtd]

and to prevent whiplash

[VarykGerai]

id say collarbone is least of your concerns on that kind of turns.

[Maxpound]

that looks like it can break your neck with those cornering speeds.

[KOOLDAVE1953]

Great fun....we all should have one....or maybe two.

[tsj73]

NEARLY as good as sax!!!

[ND4SPD16Y8]

Your "sax" apperently isn't all that good!!

Also, it's spelled "sex"!

[tsj73]

Thankyou for your help with my spelling. Maybe i´m a jazz fan, did you ever think of that?

How many languages do you speak?

[ND4SPD16Y8]

So me, never having met you, is supposed to assume that you spelt it the way you did on purpose because you like jazz? How am I supposed to assume something like that taking into account, ohh say, the overall iteracy of the comments posted on youtube?

[ZorbinEUR]

u need serious reflex for that lol

[1nm1]

and hope you don't hit any submerged logs!!!

[FalkenTube]

that thing is awesome!

[stigger91]

wow that's looks amazingly fun!

[mastakilla14]

fuck yeah

[scoterofd]

god its a screamer.

[muskiet5]

My god that's a lot of power for such a small boat.

[Liberatorracingteam1]

guys that boat is like 10 years old and super SLOW the new superboats would probably take a good 10 seconds or so off that boat, and the boat is NOT 20k to set up our boat cost over 150K to be competitive if you want to see any videos of the sport look at my profile tyheir is a couple on their.

[Purdey600]

Wow!

[STAGD1]

And we have beat you at the A1gp every year

[vanathus25]

It can be described like a Ferrari on water that keeps your heart pumping..i have to have one!!!.Amazing!!!

[thestigzzzz]

We call the sprint jets - about 20k to set up - traks are made on privarte property with a backhoe - fill with water and go!!

oh and aussies are the best drivers - at anything !!

[STAGD1]

Piss off numb nuts kiwis invented jet sprint and have won the world series every year hutton won it this year a logging contractor. Mind you lowdes won bathurst go the ford 3 years in a row lowdes and wincup rule

[brynondeb]

as an ozzie i agree greg murphy(a kiwi) is a awsome jet boat pilot

[benjyboba]

That looks fun. I'd like to see jeremy on a superbike but i doubt it will ever happen.

[3mike5]

[mcrow5]

[iluvmorrissey]

Wow i wish i could go on it

[DeScRuN]

That's awesome fast.

[VagaXt]

If I had to make an analogy of this boat to the world of motorsport, then this boat is like how an F1 car would be on water by the way it handles (like how a speedboat is like a Top Fuel dragster or funny car).

[fleemanson]

Top gear and deadenders are like the only good thing on the bbc lol

[scareface999]

as jeremy would say:

sweeeeeeeeet!

:D

[exoticcars1]

Jeremys a god

[lTakeASeatl]

TopGear runs the show

[kingjimsixsix5]

Jezza must be the best presenter in the UK if not the world.

[MarAbelplease]

sweet machine, wild

[suldubulduu]

OMG. That was good.

[pixuma]

That thing just wails... fuck!

[geekdiggy]

my initial response to this machine was HOLY SHIT.

after watching the video i was thinking: HOLY SHIT.

[ssabet9]

[Estromq]

[RD19902010]
