Top Gear team is testing super cars in New York

[novakae1]

what is this season ? 

[ExProDeservespieRBLX]

@novakae1 Season 16, Episode 1.

[Statimtek]

Who's bright idea was it to put these cars in the middle of a road works? I must say i am quite jealous of James May.In my opinion the Porsche is by far the sexyist of the 3. Man is that a nice car!

[nsxsenna]

Why these cars don't have an option from the suspension to lift the car?

These are the best auto makers in the world and they couldn't fit it with

a mechanical feature to just lift the car a few cm temporarily?

And don't tell me that it would add weight... I'm sure that they have the

technology and the money to develop a light weight mechanical

feature of some sort.

[Strykeroriginal]

@nsxsenna I am not sure about these specific cars but I've seen a blue Lamborghini and red Ferrari adjusting the suspension up and down here in NYC and even saw a Lamborghini towed away by the NYPD traffic lol. It could be that the suspension was already adjusted to the highest setting in these cars.

[FiresprayXL]

Lol please come to Virginia Jeremy clarkson

[Ferr4ri458]

jeremy plays alot with hes doors, even he doesnt like them. thats confusing

[bballplaya123678]

There was a coke can in the els at :31! Are you kidding me.

[MrWeirdyPants1120]

Going around repairing roads, trying to get over some small humps and broken roads is what you call 'testing' cars. LMAO. Your title is mis-leading.

[timlee2891]

DONT SCRATCH THE PAINT YOU BASTARDS

[Sar2009fu]

James chose the 458 Italia!

[thatonesilenceguy]

jeremy smokes?

[awesomejpg]

@thatonesilenceguy They all smoke :p

[carlosalazarte]

I thought it was in Bogota, cause the shitty roads

[jonnychadootz]

I was cringing every time they came near sewer caps or raised road.

[menlostuff]

What eisode is this for? Please reply

[ewaklu]

@menlostuff its the american road trip one

[Brianf2148]

@menlostuff Season 16 Episode 1

[plaady]

@Brianf2148 no it isn't ;) this broadcast is called the "USA road trip" special.

In S16E1 Jeremy tests the new Skoda Yeti, Richard takes a look at the history of the Porsche 911 and James has a go in the new Ariel Atom V8.

[UnIngerPierdut]

@Brianf2148 It's not s16 e1

[Slappy240]

What a shitty looking place

[joseph591]

@Slappy240 They ripped the road up. Of course it looks shitty you idiot.

[LamboK28992]

@Slappy240 wow you are stupid

[PrettyCute94]

what episode is this

[sumiro770]

i wonder why LED lights always blink

[HarrisJamesBen]

I only noticed when watching this episode again the other day, that they used some footage of James May here in the episode and made out that he took a turn into a street with roadworks going on whilst they were racing to the TV station.

[shobin05]

@HarrisJamesBen top gear does filming twice, 1st time they let the trio do their job, 2nd time they strap on cameras and drive around town to get more shots of cars...

[GrecoRoman123]

This video shows why sports cars are not the best choice for the real world.

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

A Lamborghini Wouldn't have any problems there?

[milstein91]

what s wrong with this people?i think they have a fetiche for destroying cars in top gear,,,

[EPICBEDTIME]

jeremy smokes !

[MaxwellEindhoven]

@EPICBEDTIME They all smoke

[odk015]

jermey loves to smoke..



[marcvie9]

Jeremy loves the SLS!

[3XICS]

How the hell did they end up on those streets?

[Spike1891]

so guess they really are idiots

[dontchuckitson]

458 Looks stunning! Great video!

[azp05]

that no respect..

[gsxrful]

the last place on earth u wanna test a supercar in is NYC they should call it pothole city .having a supercars in nyc is like having an f1 car race in a rally.

[SuperDavomate]

i didnt know jeremy clarkson smoked

[gammaga]

@SuperDavomate they all smoke

[SuperDavomate]

@gammaga i didnt think hammond wold be the smoking type

[gammaga]

@SuperDavomate me too but he does( at least did). you can realy notice it when they laugh.

[MartinArgg]

But this isn't in any episode, is it?

[BaaarcaaaCaaampionee]

and thats the reason why I didnt buy a supercar cause the streets arent good enough :P

[BaaarcaaaCaaampionee]

3:38 ouch.. that hurted the car

[95blckfirebird1]

Two things, he smokes? Lol and doesn't these super over expensive cars come with some sort of air ride suspension-to rise or lower the ride height of the cars? Great vid by the way, cars looks amazing and are awesome.

[VIEW8472]

@95blckfirebird1 U really don't know why there call super cars do u?

[sliksQQ]

gotta love america:)

[Hellwindman]

lol, Jeremy was slower than James.

[azuokas]

There were street repair and Top Gear team did not know about it. They had to go filming, but the streets were already repairing. And for Top Gear team to leave parking was difficult. I can tell you, as mayor of Vilnius, the New York repairers worked very quickly and efficiently. I was surprised.

[DKproductions]

@azuokas I can't believe I'm replying to a comment written by the mayor of Vilnius

[vezon360]

nyc no place for supercars sry

[silvestro19]

worst fuckin road for these guys to have to navigate out off haha

[asianmacker]

Anyone know where I can buy those in car HD cams?!

[Dylantuning1995]

@asianmacker Ebay, Walmart (if you live in america ? i don't so.. !!) you're local Electronic Shop ! Camera shop !

[cosmaflorin]

stupid video



[paintballer948]

Watching James get in the ferrari was so funny

[itsxb]

Why didnt they use wood panels?! -.-

[SleptWithUrWife]

@itsxb Because your mother is a whore.

[MvPo2]

the roads arent bad in the US. In manhattan they fix the roads often due to the massive traffic of cars throughout the city.

[crazyjoe31]

I live in NYC they do construction to keep the roads smooth so for y'all negativity ppl don't hate on USA... Especially NYC... NYC 4 LIFE

[aborygen8]

Przez te drogi myślałem, ze oni w Polsce są a autor zmienił tytuł po prostu...!

[mudaphucker]

Mmmmmm is that right

[mudaphucker]

Lol no wonder americans can't make cars, look at the roads they driver on, stick to trucks and utes

[mkrabc]

@mudaphucker thats why its a construction zone -_-

[sgtmjames]

what type of mercedes is that?

[DayleDoNuFc2k11]

@sgtmjames Mercedes SLR AMG

[sgtmjames]

@DayleDoNuFc2k11 thanks

[nestormaxno]

@sgtmjames SLS AMG not a SLR

[sgtmjames]

@nestormaxno thank you.

[max4ever23]

british people always do something just to get attention silly i say but those guys rock!

[bigballer621]

Hammond always chooses Porsche!

[bmancodgta4]

@bigballer621 or pagani

[GeorgeFlush322]

This is why everybody drives trucks in America, the roads are so bad.

[ace666999]

thos cares are BUFFF

[brothertwinz]

LOOL James's cheeky smile at the camera 4.23

[Mass7507]

I see a marvellous red Ferrari 458 Italia and other 2 cars.. :-))

[meskisz]

14 people seems not very happy seeing Cool cars. BTW, those cars are not suitable in such situations.

[Mr1997Flight]

Think of the costs of theses cars. If you had one you would spend more time in the petrol station refulling and washing them than actually driving them.

[brothertwinz]

@Mr1997Flight the words spoken from a true jealous kid

[Mr1997Flight]

@brothertwinz Im not jealous though i would love to have them. im just saying that because i know a few people with supercars and they are rearly used. Also if you had one you would want it to look nice and clean

[brothertwinz]

@Mr1997Flight I know what you mean, but if someone who owns one of these cars is a real enthusiast they would wash it them self but then again most of the people who own them, own them for all the wrong reasons and so dont =/

[ptlofts]

thank god for the hydraulics in Lamborghinis!

[pachebelscanon]

James brought the right car!

[StitchV2]

@pachebelscanon yes he did on that occasion and he was the perfect participant for a morning Yoga show...appart from the cough he did....edit that out.

[wisdom261]

@pachebelscanon YEAH FOR ONCE AND RICHARD BROUGHT THE WRONG CAR

[TVRFan11]

Ok let's stop for a mintue and think.

Why do you see no other cars on the road? Because that section is CLOSED OFF FOR CONSTRUCTIION! So Why on earth are they going through? it makes good TV. How they got through is as simple as a New York City foreman just DYIN to see what happens when they try!

[connard123abc]

@TVRFan11

After the previous days filming they parked in the garage, which you can clearly see behind them, and in the night the road surface was taken up. Listen to the audio at 1:00.

Perhaps next time you should stop and think for a bit longer than a minute.

[DotMapFile]

Man that looks fun driving those super cars at 3Mph

[DotMapFile]

Why are nice allways in shithole towns

[IanEduardoMeneses]

OMG JEREMY SMOKES!!!

[hagisays]

jeremy being such a cock driving with that door open

[dnnmon99]

Captain Slow should have no problem at all to deal with such slow-motion-movements.

[4roerich]

**аный стыд! это че Москва? как они туду вообще попали?

[grandmayolli]

that sls is amazing...

[Albert16babe]

@grandmayolli yes..love it

[12bucklemyshoe1]

They seem to drive so much faster on the show.

[ycontrol1459]

that porsche looks horrible that mercedes is the best looking car except for those doors

[Edddddyz]

that 459 looks so damn amazing!!!!

[northersteame]

@Edddddyz  I think you mean 458

[neckojezioro123]

they pulled from hilton hotel downtown ny, across the street from wtc site

[slider870]

гавно уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­уууууууууууууууууууууууууууууу­у

[scotfreak]

they are right at ground zero

[esptool]

lol

[switchbladeguy]

whats with the 458's lights is it emergency lights?

[GoGoggansGo]

@switchbladeguy the leds are tricking the camera it a led thing when i took a video of my dads 2010 shelby the back led turn signals do the same thing

[swunt10]

thats NY right?

[XcopeS]

Clarkson has put on some weight



[thequesomanishere]

i hope theyre not entertaining :)

[ApexAZnn]

Those headlights on the Ferrari are annoying

[WorldofLuxury]

@ApexAZnn lol yeah... LEDs do that on a lot of cameras

[TheLightMyFire]

i was sure that the merc is jeremis cuse it's full of junk :))

[tonytsui96]

Those cars barely have enough ground clearance for even the slightest bump lol

[nbaalltheway]

this is hard to watch

[leylandcarsloverslea]

What is with the rough roads in New York....

[TheSwed]

What date did you film this mate ?

[giusevasi]

0:35 u hear dumbass???

[TheAGCproductions]

jeremy smokes???? OMG

[EXAir113]

@TheAGCproductions You didn't know that? James and Jeremy both smoke.

[TheAGCproductions]

@EXAir113 but they look really really bad like that

[Amgbenz0]

@TheAGCproductions Who do they look bad to? You? Lol. They smoke for themselves, not for you or anybody else. Being around smokers almost all day, i'd actually find it weird if someone didnt light one up every now and then.. just because it doesnt appeal to you it doesnt mean they look bad, thats just your own opinion.

[porkyhunter]

@TheAGCproductions he's always smoked num nuts he just quitted for a while

[scotfreak]

@TheAGCproductions umm, yeah thats kind of his thing

[gruzergrub5000]

@TheAGCproductions yes, hes a chain smoker lol. nothing new at all.

[Ros718]

@TheAGCproductions you seriously didn't know that? He has always done that dude.

[TheAwkwardjames]

@TheAGCproductions they all do

[flackman5]

@TheAGCproductions Like a chimney!

[19may0001]

@TheAGCproductions u must be a idiot not to no he smokes, yellow teeth are the proof

[Amgbenz0]

@19may0001 You say that like all smokers have yellow teeth and all non-smokers dont have yellow teeth. Almost all my cousins are smokers and most of them have perfect and white teeth. And theres plenty of kids i knew from my old school that have some busted yellow teeth and they never smoked a day in their life. Its called brushing your teeth.. smoker or not, your teeth will stay white if you brush everyday, and they will get yellow if you dont, its that simple.

[25Celtics]

@TheAGCproductions you would know that if you watched his koenigsegg review

[DDD4175]

@TheAGCproductions He Does watch the Koenigsegg review

[jimsoccer8]

@TheAGCproductions you obviously haven't seen or read anything about him. He freely admits to being a chain smoker. He's said it time and time again. He tried to quit once, but it didn't go so well. He even made fun of Richard Hammond for quitting.

[hoookiutne]

@TheAGCproductions All of them are chainsmokers :P

[NatJamSte]

@TheAGCproductions all of them do :S

[F1GHTERS]

@TheAGCproductions have you looked at his teeth?

[keyesphotography]

@TheAGCproductions yeah... he even talks about it in the episodes lol he is a big time chain smoker

[GTRF4N]

@TheAGCproductions ow that means hes gonna die ;'(

[SPARKZXVIPER]

@TheAGCproductions wow your late!!!

[orihalchon]

@TheAGCproductions well, three of them in fact were smokers

[fenderstrat71]

I cant wate for this episode. What a great fuckin show.

[fenderstrat71]

@fenderstrat71 Oh fuck ya this episode already came out.

[redart912]

they should come to California, We got really good roads. They could try Pacific coast highway

[piazx]

@redart912 most places have really good roads, thanks for the info

[Ar9Sin4San]

@redart912 Lol are you trying to invert a west coast vs east coast battle, prov to the Brits, that englanders should go to Cali instead of NYC???? Elaborate and dont *cough tupac cough* owns *cough biggie cough* haha, from an english perspective , what in thee blue hell is the difference between NY who has too mcuh insdustirla stuff, compared to Arnie, who is the only guy we here about in England tht represents cali - that about it lol

[soucorp]

really guys, cant you pick a better location then on a NY street with construction. love the Ferrari capt slow is driving!

[phantomloita]

lol in the actual episode they show this as James getting stuck in construction traffic....damn they script everything now.

[Acct1941]

@phantomloita No, we're supposed to believe that this is just them hanging around town, after lunch, on their way to the start of the race. Lol almost as realistic as Jeremy's challenge on the new episode, "Rob a bank" and they run away, in a non-scripted event, from the "Albanian Rozzers".

[phantomloita]

@Acct1941 Lol although in there defense the Albanian 5-0 was pretty good with a fwd eco box and the bike cop...dude he was smoking AND riding at the same time!

[Acct1941]

@phantomloita Yeah! And they did amazing powerslides in those cars, I have no idea how in the FWD Aveo. And somehow they kept up with not only a Bentley Mulsanne, but the Rolls and Mercedes!

[Lemon0Tart]

@phantomloita what i think happened is that james won by more then what they show in the episode, and to keep the tension up they through in this footage to make it seem like clarkson had a chance.

[shobin05]

@phantomloita maybe your right...but i dont think they script it...top gear normally takes two shots...one is live, the other is cut scenes which they edit in...the part where you see shots of the 458's hood (if you remember watching the episode) is the second day where they let the film crew take their shots...Obviously they cant shoot cars with cameras on them, that just spoils the beauty :D

[datdude008]

@phantomloita They run all the races as they happen then go back for good shots of the cars. But yes, as a show, it is scripted.

[darthbane31]

@phantomloita you do know they fix more then one road at a time in new york right?

[phantomloita]

@darthbane31 Buddy watch the full show, I live here. I can point you to exactly where it is.

[FacepunchChris]

NO JEREMY, WHY ARE YOU SMOKING-

[Birgler14]

what did they expect? its not germany.

also 2:38 careful hammond!

[FISHURMOMBALL]

the 458 is so glam

[survivol33]

i just turned on atdhe.net and they have top gear channel, and this episode was going but it was almost ended.

[Plywalker]

Test drive - Off road!!

[chuckboston617]

Wow the SLS sounds just like a motorcycle how cool. Lmao

[KAzik10001]

@chuckboston617 That was a sound of a motorcycles passing by you idiot. 3:57

[summum23]

damm since when they change the program from sundag to thusday? i f*cking mist it!

[TopGearDog100]

@summum23 its not, it was on a tuesday and it was a one off, its back on boxing day, and then the series starts properly in the new year:)

[mcazteck]

when is this comming out???????

[thirdlegUK]

@mcazteck yesterday

[Orakie777]

OMG EPIC

[WizenedWarrior]

they should visit the american top gear and show them how to properly present, or have another challenge like they did with the german top gear-ish people

[ATBparkour]

This is on TV right now ^^ BBC 2

why the hell were those men in a construction zone? 3:16, i thought jezza was going to hit the rubbish truck :D normally i thought that james and hammond would take time to go from the bumpy construction part to the roa
