XTM TopGear KOREA - Race : Spirra Turbo vs Lotus Exige Cup 260 vs Porsche Cayman S

[Az0ngl33]

The Spirra debuted at Yongin Speedway in 2008 and took 1st place in the 2008 series..!

[Class3ProtokollDroid]

I´ve bought the Spirra Race Car at Gran Turismo (PSP-Version) That brought me here :-)

hand made in Korea

[Murcielago247]

watch my porsche 911 video i souped up and im 17years old and i have more car knowledge than these fools on korean top gear and i myself am a proud korean.

[Murcielago247]

no offense but only fucking pussies buy a boxster or a cayman, if your a real serious enthusiast go get your self a 911 and feel the punishment of its car. fuck mid engine sports car its all about the traditional rear end engine of the flat 6.

and seriously? what he said about the comparison of the 911 and the cayman? are you fucking kidding me? dont ever compare a 911 and a cayman being the "better handling" 911 are ment to be agressive that raises your adrenaline every time you floor it

[LZKS]

In another clip, they claimed that Audi A7 is faster around the track than CTS-V. Truly, this is an auto maker paid program just like any other Korean TV shows. BMW and Audi must be pretty much running this program.

[LZKS]

Well, not like these videos are getting any view counts. I can't believe I watched it myself. Oh wait... because I'm Korean... anyways waste of time.

[dafamlay]

stfu

[tvr614]

Watch it with the Korean captions translated to English. Hilarious.

[hyungwoo0312]

@tvr614 Broken translation ftw.

[nachtnite]

Spirra = 420hp, maximum 305km/h(189.5mi/h)

[LZKS]

I don't understand any of your replies. Top gear korea claimed that M3 is faster around the track than GTR. By all means, I'm no GTR fan; in fact, I would rather own M3. But I know by fact that GTR cannot be beaten by M3 in track times. And foreign car makers pay korean dramas millions to show their cars in the drama all the time. Same story here.

[TerryFilming]

@LZKS No, Top Gear Korea is one of the few TV shows out there don't accept bribes lol. When they say track, they have a special track, where it's more fit for cars that have great handling skills.

[LZKS]

@TerryFilming Well, clearly you don't know anything about cars. GTR R35 beats M3 in slalom to lateral grip to pretty much any spec related to handling. And yes, it does beat M3 in handling as well as drag. Can't fix stupid.

[TerryFilming]

@LZKS Clearly don't know anything about cars?

Great job, insulting me doesn't make me want to listen anyway. As it doesn't prove your "point" any better.

[TerryFilming]

@LZKS An analogy is this:

A Bugatti Veyron is the fastest car in the world, right? Put it in a track, and it will be beaten by other cars. Veyron is only special when it comes to straightaways

[LZKS]

@TerryFilming Can't fix stupid...

[LimYQS]

Oh and the Porsche should have won it... It looks like he got off to a worst start then the rest... Also he seemed to have dragged one of the gears and shifted late....

[LimYQS]

The spirra is promising for an Asian supercar... But they really should stop taking design cues from ferrari's... I was kinda hoping they pull an NSX off... But... Oh well maybe in the near future they'll have something more original... Btw... I think people are being to harsh on them they are a relatively new constructor... I'm sure they'll get better with time..

[hernandadmx]

THese assholes Fast foward their scenes

[hernandadmx]

THese assholes need tsuchyia San in there!

[ll01dm]

spirra for forza 4!!



[Archysworld]

haha i think at 4:15 hes saying "NO FAT CHICKS"

[lanternarossa]

白いベルトはやめてくれ〜

[veracuiz]

Spirra looks really nice. I hope that in someday I could test drive it...

[LZKS]

This show is whack. Takes bribes like a true korean show. Showed that M3 is faster around track than GTR. Just how much did BMW Korea pay you to lie like that? For all those who thinks I'm not Korean, I actually AM Korean, so don't talk shit.

[veracuiz]

@LZKS ReallY? I watched recent topgear Korea, and saw that GTR is the most highly ranked in lap time yet. 

[LZKS]

@veracuiz Yup, it's the most recent episode. Episode 11. Lying bastards.

[hiero00x]

@LZKS Top Gear Korea did not have access to "NEW" GTR. One they tested only had 485 HP. New one Top Gear UK test had 530+ HP.

[veracuiz]

@LZKS I think you don't have enough information to judge me whether I'm lying bastard or not. lol because I did not tell you what episode did I watched recently. More over, you do not have enough information to judge whether the program is payed from company. I mean, cars get different from various of drivers.

[veracuiz]

@LZKS And people like you would tend to start false rumors on internet.

[punchyheadgxl]

am i watching bleach?

[ryvoltz]

0:57 Hauhwuahwuahwuahwuahwuahwuahwu­ahwuahwuahwuahwuawh!!!

[ShinnSin]

WoooOOOoWW

[manoman0]

I don't understand a word korean, but it's way better than TOP GEAR USA.

[mrdiaz0108]

THAT LOTUS SOUNDS SOO SEXII!

[ReyWLay]

why isn't the Spirra burning rubber?

[TerryFilming]

@ReyWLay Because Spirra is amazing, and has one of the best traction.

[LZKS]

@TerryFilming Spirra is amazing in a way that it was able to keep the curb weight down to extreme at 2300lbs. However, its engine is derived from Tiburon, which is probably one of the most inefficient engine in the world. Mere 2.7L V6 at 172hp draining gas at 16/24mpg. For reference to those who knows nothing about cars, G37 makes 330hp for same fuel economy. What I would do is buy the shell and put another powertrain, for any in Korea who's interested in buying this car.

[LZKS]

@LZKS Coincidentally, the new genesis coupe V6 is exactly the opposite. It has a fantastic direct-injected V6 generating an unbelievable 350hp and 295lbft of torque. However, all other components from pig heavy frame, mediocre steering, and whacky transmission are... well bad. If they put this engine in the spirra, that would be... well heaven. But auto makers are run by car-noob investors, not engineers, so more or less it takes pure luck for this to happen, not common sense.

[LZKS]

@TerryFilming I also couldn't care for that un-muffled boy-racer BOV sound.

[ReyWLay]

Korea is surely making a big impression on the supercar market .... well done,

excellent craftsmanship

[sheepborg]

Spirras look great.. i want one in america .. now

[LZKS]

TG Korea is definitely paid by Porsche Korea.

[minhyukiii]

@LZKS ur statement can't event be supported with any single reason, Porsche hardly have any market share in imported cars of Korean market. 75% dominated by domestic brands like hyundai,ssangyong,kia and samsung. rest bmw,volkswagen,mercedes,toyota and nissan takes. From this video there is no biased reviews of porsche, it even got thrashed by one of the slowest models of spirra in drag race

[trippin805]

this guy reminds me of tiff from fifth gear and at least this one isnt as bad as the US version

[100littlecurses]

What the hell is that thing? It looks badass.

[zondaracer]

@100littlecurses it is a Spirra, built and made in Korea

[JRCrowley]

LOL @ chubby girl  :)

[ehanbameh1]

still did not explained the understeer crash on the power lap. Best of wishes for 탑기어 코리아!

[SuperGtirider]

ma che è sta roba......

[Sammyasasas]

im suprissed there wasnt a three car pile up

[Sammyasasas]

hahaha hes got a pack of rollo in his pants

[dahlahlinglah]

at 25 seconds it looks like he's stuffed socks in his crotch

[dahlahlinglah]

@EnfantTerrible7 im sorry i dont understand your comment i dont speak chinese!!!

[dahlahlinglah]

Can someone tell me what that red car is? I don't speak Chinese!!!

[ciboalien]

@dahlahlinglah its not chinese. it obviously says top gear KOREA in the title.

[kimchi1977]

@dahlahlinglah Spirra, made here in the Seoul area.

[EnfantTerrible7]

@dahlahlinglah you're not even watching top gear china dumbfuck from down under.

[ddyang777]

there's no f**king way that the exige cup would lose to a cayman s in a straight line. additionally, I love how they edit the runs to "appear" that the drivers can slide into and out of a curve. these hosts definitely can't drive, and what's more all the episodes definitely favor the Korean brands.

[6Wul0Won]

@ddyang777 Favor the Korean brands? What are you talking about? They flat out dissed Hyundai in one of the episodes.

[globalforce]

@6Wul0Won They did have to pull back their punches reviewing Samsung though. (And yes, non-Korean commenters, Samsung makes cars too) Turned out the people at Samsung who provided the test car realized that they like their jobs too much...

[6Wul0Won]

@globalforce That's interesting. I didn't know that. I would've had fun watching it though. I honestly hate Samsung cars.

[zondaracer]

@6Wul0Won Samsung cars is a division of Renault-Nissan, so Samsung cars are really just rebranded Renaults

[6Wul0Won]

@zondaracer Yes, I know that.

[6Wul0Won]

@zondaracer I believe it is more like a subsidiary, not just a re-brand. Is it not?

[zondaracer]

@6Wul0Won more of a subsidiary, shared platforms

[WorldOfIvillis]

@zondaracer Samsung is a Korean cell phone brand.

[minhyukiii]

@WorldOfIvillis not just freaking cell phone, most of the electronics and they also make cars which are sold in South Korean market and some of the Asian countries

[WorldOfIvillis]

@minhyukiii Hm, never knew that... I was born there but lived in U.S. for most of my life so. But I knew they made other electronics--just not cars.

[panamera]

crackup how they compare 3 totally different cars

[takesonetokillall]

Front end reminds me too much of an MP4-12C.

[samuelesm]

@takesonetokillall The Spirra came way before the MP4-12C

[takesonetokillall]

@samuelesm Not the current version. The old one looked nothing like the McLaren.

[jin12345678]

@takesonetokillall the current design is still a few years old, way before mp3-12c

[takesonetokillall]

@jin12345678 Indeed, but the resemblance is still there.

I strongly doubt one copied the other, but it's just a weird coincidence.

[wowserverdown]

i dun think they can drive...

[slondavokensteen]

@wowserverdown I don't think you can spell.

[minhyukiii]

@wowserverdown Apart from the guy who drives lotus here who is like car expert or something, drives really well, the other guys are famous actors but also car manias

Apart from the talking part, most of the drives are done by the professional drivers. I know this because I am Korean and i love cars
