Top Gear Australia builds electric cars pt1

[cedchung]

thank god that shit is over...

[marshknute]

You brits are such hypocritical bigots. You bitch about Americans hating foreigners when you are unwilling to give a foreign TV program a chance. TGAU is far from a bad show, and TGUS's 2nd season is currently better than TGUK's 17th season. As far as I'm concerned, the TG challenges are funny regardless of the hosts/cars/guidelines.

Not the kingswood... I would've bought it saved it from the fate of being ripped apart..

[MrDante1945]

ABSOLUTE COPYCAT RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mufflemonsta009]

Everything seems staged and unnatural about this top gear, making the jokes unfunny.



[mrnathv]

Top Gear UK stays the best!

[stig781]

I was looking for the part where Top Gear build their own car, the Eaglehammerthrustthingy, and have seem to come across this unfunny bollocks!

[birdman3120]

I watched all the Top Gear UK videos on YouTube about ten times, so I am now watching this out of pure desperation. :-)

[senortteh]

@birdman3120 same...

[olakunleoladimeji]

@birdman3120 lol, same here

[iseesyouthere]

OMG why didn't we get the mighty boy in the states

[GayBoyRunning]

I guess they built the Electric cars wrong cause my home built Electric car has 50hp plus clocks speeds of 150km/h haha < who says electric cars are slow?

[McDeeViouz]

I THINK THE REASON TOP GEAR AUS DOESN'T COMPARE TO TOP GEAR UK.....IS THE ACCENT!

[reecieboii]

look at all those spare parts that could have been GIVEN away

[rock3tcat]

Top Gear Australia is a waste of time....

[GarciaOlli]

@rock3tcat

Still better than Top Gear USA

[pedekiller]

electrics cars, the future (although we'll miss a V8), they have more acceleration, they cna go just as far on a charge (tesla roadster), they have 100x more torque than petrol/diesel, they are 80-90% efficient...

[caledfwlch]

not to mention hippie, psychedelic, and 'snob factor'.

[VentoDriver]

@pedekiller plus electric motors hit their torque peek instantly

[SportLeichtRensport]

@pedekiller lol where did you get the silly idea that the tesla roadster can go just as far as a petrol engine on a charge? And list me an electric motor that has 100x more torque than a petrol/diesel? And the 80-90% efficiency maybe right, just maybe, but the electricity that fuels the car most likely comes from a much less efficient source so... electric cars? not yet

[pedekiller]

@SportLeichtRensport

for starters, electric motor of any size has unlimited torque and HP....but for how long is the question. a CD drive motor might put out 10hp...but for like a nano second before it fries.

i also believe that there isnt any such thing as a green car.

i'd want my setup (not enough characters to explain, damn) only for the silly amount of power. but the materials from that setup are obtained in a far-from-green process. google "mining lithium", pretty tricky & polluting stuff.

[SportLeichtRensport]

@pedekiller Yes I know about mining lithium. The prius is more environmentally harmful than a hummer. But you might be right about the unlimited torque and HP from electric engine but that's impractical to even consider into the equation. You can make a 12L gasoline engine that has 20000+ torque but u don't.

[pedekiller]

@SportLeichtRensport

but no matter how big you make that fossil fuel engine, it's still only gonna be 40% efficient tops!! (even diesel although some have been known to get to 56%)

so only 40% of the fuel and air come back out as power, the rest is wasted in friction, cool noise and zorst.

[GayBoyRunning]

@SportLeichtRensport haha your pertty stupid... the Car i built has two small 25hp traction motors plus has a top speed of 150kmh & the range per charge is 221Km's.

the Good thing for electric motors is the recharge only cost 50c's haha. But a clever thing i did is that with the two traction motors on the rear wheels both recharge the battary while breaking or when in motion... 1 for Electric. 0 for fossil fuels hehe xD

[SportLeichtRensport]

@GayBoyRunning yeah I'm sure you are building 50 hp cars that can go 150kph and 221km range. that's why manufacturers like Nissan, Honda and BMW are making cars with 160km range right? lol why don't you post a vid of it

Oh and the "clever" thing you did is called KERS try not to troll so much on youtube kthxbai

[GayBoyRunning]

@SportLeichtRensport I am pretty intelligent when it comes to enigines, gears, machines & technology. Plus 7 other subjects.. Plus i'll get a vid up as soon as possible. im just at Uni doing my Mechanical Engineer degree.

[adiprecu]

thanx for uplouding

[monstercameron]

i never knew, oh man TGOZ damn, wow, keep posting man.
