BBC: Maserati Stig Lap - Top Gear

[Definition1995]

According to a video I saw with an interview with James May. At this point in time (2005). James May would have been the stig at this point. Unbelievable

[1rippedup]

@maxthehulk . They dond use the fasest? They just dont use cheap American cars

[sayisakindof]

i came from the future, and Pagani Zonda can do 1.08

[HSimon1981]

Damn The Stig is a good driver.

[Tataru5117]

0:59 that made my day

21st Century Schizoid man solo and a Maserati MC12.....

[maxthehulk]

i love top gear bbc and jeremy hamond and may but the problem is top gear is soooooooo fake because they make their cars or british cars are the fastest and the best

[maxthehulk]

dodge viper hennessey viper venom 1000 can do the fastest lap on top gear because it has 1200 hp and it is sooooooooo light car compered with a car has the same horsepower like bugatti veyron supersport

[Gforcelover]

@maxthehulk please tell me your not actually serious about the viper

[bmoney2011]

Maserati MC-Hammer.

[yelton7]

only .1 faster lulz

[allwheeldrive1]

I don't care about 6million hungry old people who waste money gambling

[101JuventusFan]

Top Gear should try and bring in a shifter go-kart and let the Stig do a lap in it. I think that would be kool

[kosta299]

this car is sooo stig :X

[kels101]

ah for the days the creators of youtube didnt sell out and hand their fucking souls over to the devil for a bit of cash, thus raping us with ads no sensible person gives a shit about

t is easier to woman to fall in love, than to make a declaration of love. And it is easier to man to admit, than to fall in love.

[dlc85007]

[caHardy100]

[AzerbaijanGuy]

how  I download video from youtube????

[videowilliams]

"Normally you get these driver aids and they're supposed to help drivers but the Stig doesn't need the help, he likes to have just him and the machine." (1:13) Hallelujah to that- it made the lap time even faster- and I'm constantly switching such crap off in my own car.

[Blitz3086]

For those of you who dont know, this Maserati is their version of the Enzo...

[FFE1TB]

King Crimson the best

[bernithebest1]

how can you fit in such a smallcar

[xfastV8]

Koenigsegg CCX

watch?v=wV-1kZHrOw4

[WHITEDUIF]

Beautifull Car!

[0oYOUSLAGo0]

its already been around its not even top 3

[Metman07]

@0oYOUSLAGo0 Actually the Koenigsegg CCX (with the rear wing) did it in 1:17.6, behind only the Ascari A10 (#2) and the Gumpert Apollo.

[erimeanit69]

Hey, How do you think a Konigsegg would do on the track. Seems like it handles very well.

[edmonddantes64]

Stig IS listening to King Crimson!!

21st Century Schizoid Man!!

I loves you Stig.

[zythepsarian]

beautiful car

[buckamoona]

huge tires

[F0RBESY]

did you know nobody cares?

[tudorgui1992]

this maserati is very ...oceanliner-esque// but a fast one;)

[VAULToverDEW]

"You know well speed isn't everything. I can't believe I just said that."

[ALBORNOZ24AMG]

look at the men with the BOCA JUNIORS t-shirt

[rapandrnb]

why isent there a video posted on utube where they actually review this car, ive been looking for like 1 year and i stil havent found, if anyone can give me a link PLEASE DO SO

[mrKANEandLYNCH]

i no ur comment is 3 weeks old but the car is not for sale, its for people who are favored customers of maserati

[diamonds27]

saw one of them in kelowna bc lol

[11bikerboy11]

i saw one in Edmonton Last summer can hear it about 2 blocks away....

[dss8345]

Search this on YouTube: "Top Gear - guys meet the legendary Maserati 3500 GT - BBC". It's the review from the same episode as this lap.

[RubyandSapphireshow]

oh boy! boys and thier toys!

Are you talking about cars!???

Sapphirexxx

[Silverballer45ACP]

just like colors and flavors, anyone can have their favorite. I like both the enzo and the maserati. Now, the maserati is more expensive and its just a little bit faster (the driver's performance could get in the way...) The enzo's got more horsepower but it's chassis isn't made of nomex honeycomb monocoque... To me both cars have their ups and downs. If it was a birthday present, I think I'd choose the maserati though ^ ^

[PcKSnipE]

I think it looks too awkward

[alvin41789]

wow youtube stop the god damn advertisments i dont care!!!

[Computenator]

these advertisments aren't because of youtube, it's because TopGear is trying to earn some money with Google AdSense Ads

[YongYDG]

@alvin41789 Press F5 then it goes away

[10243406]

@alvin41789 you can get rid of advertisements by googling advertisement script blocker

[BoricuaBoxing]

@10243406 all you have to do is press f5

[holycrapitstowlie]

@BoricuaBoxing Not on the new videos. You have to sit through the ad.

[BoricuaBoxing]

@holycrapitstowlie yea I know they fixed that shortly after i wrote that :(

[lionheartvw]

@10243406 See what all this advertising is doing? You Sir are actually advertising unconsciously .

[Mastermind12358]

@alvin41789

then who the fuck would pay for this ? are you ? uhh no

[lionheartvw]

@alvin41789 they don't really care about us

[nomisbeth]

@alvin41789 it's Google actually...

[RaageQuit]

@alvin41789 the day youtube stops the ads is the day you can't watch top gear on youtube.

[pertplus2in1]

@alvin41789 adblock plus use firefox...

[CoDmontagesvideos]

@alvin41789 there wouldnt be youtube if there were no ads....

[Fletcher4256]

@alvin41789 YouTube is a non-profit service, they lose alot of money every year on it, if you want youtube they need some income for it.

[BALJIT147]

@alvin41789 get ad blocker on firefox

[Nimesh996]

@alvin41789 i never get advertises lol y???? cuz i use adblock plus on google chrome :D i lov it no waste of my time!!!

[l33750r]

@alvin41789 Just use adblock...

[MyFaceHole]

@alvin41789 Get the Adblockplus addon for firefox, or if you have chrome, look it up as an addon for chrome, i am serious it works great. Once you get it select the fanboy's blocking list and no more ads :)

[windywindy]

@alvin41789 a simple adblock would stop the ads, you must be a retard.

[Smigjo]

@alvin41789 Thank you for Ad Block Plus

[TjipzPK]

@alvin41789 then you dont care about watching top gear either

[twitchsix20five]

Maserati is owned by Ferrari

[ReidHenderson]

I know this allready.. Im just saying it for that reason it looks great but if you look at the shape and other parts it screams enzo..

[Avto28]

Sure it screams Enzo it is based on it.

[flyingnotrunning]

the comercails are so lame but the cars are freaking awesome

[ElTioPirulo]

the maserati = sexy

[09204418448]

[Wopeedoo]

I went to a showroom afewe months back and took picture with that car.. (it wasnt for sale) And when i ssearched it up on the internet i realized i took pictures with a really rare mand fast masertai MC12..

[Poketrader18]

That's a beautiful car.

[TheSwed]

[KingVirmire]

[agustaf4s]

[OrAnGeYsKaTe]

[americanVmuscle]

" I can't believe i just said that"

[jinx45]

[RoelMaster93]

stupid ads

[chapter24]

Yeah, he's listening to King Crimson - 21st century schizoid man

[darphinparis]

love the starion at the start

[dirjanlucian]

I wonder why de don't test the veyron

[membergd]

they have now, this is old!

[KCL1013]

can someone please explain "understeer" to me?

[olicc]

its when the car doesn't turn to the degree of the front wheel turn angle. So an extreme case would be if you turned the wheel to the right and the car kept going straight but in this case its just causing the car to turn wide. Oversteer is the opposite, its when the back kicks out. Drifting is basicaly controlled oversteer.

[ojideagu]

Oversteer is the opposite when a car turns too easily and can spin.

[ImmortalKenny]

Yeah, understeer is quite annoying. It mainly happens in Front-Wheel-Drive cars. Basically you enter a corner a little too fast and you're trying to turn as sharp as you can but the car pushes forward (mainly from the front wheels spinning or "squealing" in place) instead of following through the turn.

[tomlee886]

Actually, understeer also happened in some AWD cars.

[ollidolli12]

His helmet is kickass :D

[fcommvi]

$600 Simpson Diamondback fullface helmet...it probably makes even me drive better. =)

[Koulnis]

"Yeah, well you know. Speed isn't everything.

"...I can't believe I just said that."

[benbmx1000]

i think it mite have been staged for the tv, why would it beat an enzo anyway they delierbaratly made it less powerful..

[fliparoo1234]

you dont know shit about cars do you

[kj7687]

Yea well people. Just wait for the New Ariel Atom 500! Its supposed to have like a 2.3 second 0-60. I can almost guarantee it will be the new fastest car. And its only going to cost like 120 grand. That is actually affordable for an upper middle class American...

[hobodeath]

...not

[fliparoo1234]

yeh alot of people think the fastest car is measered by strate line speed, some times it is but i matter more about how fast it can accelerate and take corners

[spectre1209]

Although as a GT car, the Corsa, very nice. Very successful in FIA GT as well.

[Duphman2]

That was the Competizione. The Corsa is a private track only automobile, similar to the FXX program.

[maturaakuganesan]

wtf

who cares al u need is a car dat works

and this care looks really ugly

[vietdude7]

if you think that

you'd buy a minivan

and a guy that buys a minivan has no testies

[Noles876]

you can not spell worth a shit

[kopaszQ]

i don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but i think this car is ugly...

[Eametsa]

yor right, it looks like a pile of shit, very expensive shit tho

[112namrepus]

Yeah, too bad it's an Enzo with an ugly suit on. Yuck.!

Maybe you could go fast enough so that nobody could see how hideous it really was. ???

[Eametsa]

fail

[EngleSackJus]

and you were worried about parking a Ferrari F430 at the mall???

I would dare anbody 2 park some shit like this MC12 on the street, and see what happpens.... LoL

[m3taLB1Rd]

50% off on the Enzo.

Only available at your local Maserati dealer.

[bmxguy94]

lol

[Kacz532]

y does jeremy say "he goes around chicago" on 0:45?

[liammaier]

name of the curve

[eye690]

Because they call that particular bend in the track "Chicago", just as they call the last turn "Gambon" after Michael Gambon...

[setforlife112]

its the name of the corner.

[mattiohurrellio]

cheers guys, give the "in the court a listen", been a while.

[mattiohurrellio]

anyone know which king crimson track this is?

[kdforlife]

Sounded like '21st Century Schizoid Man'.

[jcuda440]

yeah its 21st century schizoid man

[RugB346]

that maserati has no style. The purpose of supercars is to be as fast as a race car but not have all the extra garble on top that makes it look like a race car. The MC12 looks like it should be on the track, it doesn't look street friendly it looks like you got lost on your way to the track. Far as I can tell they copied the enzo styling, added a wing on the back for some downforce and thats about it...rubbish

[mlaunder]

I agree mate. Where as the Bugatti and the Koenigsegg are also super cars, thye look much much better as far as styling goes. Cheers to that.

[h4x4l1ty]

You do know that Maserati and Ferrari are both owned by FIAT, right? The MC12 has the same engine as the Enzo. It's just more aggressively tuned and has a much wider stance.

[RugB346]

Good point.

[MlTCHB]

some one knows there stuff... I'd rather the maserati flair than the poncy ferrari. The handbrake lever in a new fiat 500 can also be found in a ferrari aswell.... Just thought id mention a funny fact.

[vietdude7]

the Enzo is still a track car

its just the MC12 is a track car on roids

[paultje2small]

hmmmmm the "cutest" car i could think of is renault clio or tvr sagaris

[ozyboi]

1:33 OMG hammond's "WOOOOOOW" is brilliant lool

[Ideology252]

XD XD...everytime I even look at a video like this - at least one person is blabbering on about the ZR1...please just except that cheapness doesn't equal (better) the ZR1 may be quick - but it's annoying how everyone keeps comparing it to these cars, If you read Clarkson's review of the car (despite the fact he liked it) he describes it as not being built very well...which is a result of extensive mass production, and trading car parts :)

[coolerdude44]

you have to remember that he had the press car. that car was shown at motor shows all around the country, and driven hard around countless tracks and driven by many journalists. they use the same car because of the limited production...

but i understand how that could be annoying.

i do think it'll be faster around the track than even the veyron if they decide to track test it come june.

also, understand that america has never had such a great car, we are overdue for some gloating XD

[lamboman32]

the zr1 is shit compared 2 da MC12

[Armin543]

The MC12 costs nearly 8 times as much. Now I love Euro cars (I drive an Audi) but when it comes to speed the new Vettes sure are impressive especially for the price. Euro supercars are beautiful, handle well, and are quite fast but theres no getting around the fact that they're obscenely overpriced.

[bliglum]

If you wanna get impressive performance for price look at the ariel atom, you can see it just below the enzo on the list.. not sure how much it costs, but I think it is less than a zr1.

[ThisSaturatedMind]

the atom is only 29,000 pound sterling, amazing deal

[chopperhead2011]

I'm still waiting for them to test the ZR1 to have it smoke the rest of the cars.

[DutchManticore]

I knew your nationality before checking out your profile.

And AFTER checking out your profile I now also have a pretty good idea of your IQ.

[chopperhead2011]

And what would that be?

[corvettefan96]

most beautiful car in the world. looks like the legendary F40

[SenorSpielbergo787]

Maserati MC Hammer, lol I'd never noticed that before

[Tominator3526]

that car is huge! i thought it was only for racing and not road legal?
