  • @farabirview So Stig is the universal test for driving. You know a lot about driving, good

  • ex-stig test most of the best super cars recently and the F458 was the winner and it was 2 seconds faster on track than the Mp4-12c

  • Which ape is driving that ferrari sliding it corners. IVF

  • There is only one problem with this review.......a big problem, the time attack was done on slick tyres.

  • I should have known when Clarkson said "all new all British McLaren" at 0:04 they would put it at the top of the board.

  • anybody know the name of the song playing at 1.11

  • @rinaldiputra Runaway by Kanye West. No I'm not joking, Top Gear was using it.

  • what is the nane of the song? 0:50

  • what is the nane of the song?

  • song at 4:39?

  • i hear music from Tron .... LOL

  • How could I miss this :(

  • GO BRITISH!!!!

  • i didnt expect it to be this quick!!!!! O.O

  • bill gates needs one

  • remember kids...its considered bad manners to sit at the table wearing your helmet lmfao

  • i wish the mclaren had the rear end of the ferrari, it would be so sexyyyy if it did

  • McLaren will always be better than Ferrari.

  • That laptime is really misleading and isn't scientifically valid.

    You can't compare a car that was tuned on that track to every other car that wasn't.

    It's like taking an F1 car setup to run at Suzuka and comparing how it runs at Silverstone to another F1 car that was setup for Silverstone.

  • @GordonWorldwide That's why the Ferrari is faster on some other track, and if you put the McLaren on the Fiorano track I think the result is obvious, and whatever they say about it I still like it, but I won't deny 458's performance, its beayty, or that it catches fire.

  • daft punk : )

    I think the Mclaren is nicer personally,its not like the Ferrari telling everyone "look at me i'm soooooo much better then you"

    and its a better track car as Jezza described

  • McLaren Fax Machine

  • ferrari 458 is still the best car in the world

  • i really don't care what fifth gear says, or even if jeremy complains that its no fun, that thing just beat a bugatti's lap time. the v8 atom isn't even really a car (its purpose built for track days), so for me that is the fastest car ever tested by top gear. beautiful

  • WHY ISN'T THIS OUT IN FUCKING AMERICA DAMN YOU BRITS BEING 1 OR TWO SEASONS AHEAD!!! DAMN YOU ALL TO GEAR HEAD HELL!!

  • just gotta add that maclaren is sexy. there not lieing about the time use your brain

  • Comment removed

  • This car is horrible,can do the best time ever,but is simply horrible.

    I f I have to spend my money I'm gonna spend for everithing but not for this car.

  • @Mr600mm jelly this car is faster than the 458, hmm?

  • @Mezzaaaaa I'd take the computer thank you

  • TRON MUSIC! DAFT PUNK! :D

    

  • Jeremy "Liar" Clarkson, the 458 is the best sportcar ever built, the MC-12 is just worst handling and shity looking:)))

  • ah too bad , ferrari's fans frustatated .

    it's great ,first time, compare design and performance , that's pathetic.

    Anyway i prefer the look of the mc laren , it's elegant , technical without artifice , th'ats the true performance class car design , you see a mac laren mp4 12c in another paint midnight blue metal ,it's more beautiful perfect than ferrari .

  • @berlintelaviv Ahahahahahahaha ultra LoL......looks like a lotus evora.

    Fuck this stupid car with stuoid FAKE time.

  • They never say anything wrong about this car. The others car shows test and prove that the transmission and the handling of the 12C is not as good as the 458. Of course that the 12c is fast in straight lines because is lighter. It's made of carbon fiber and the engine has more hp. But in the track the 458 is more fun and fast.

  • McLaren has no SOUL. but fast as hell.

  • Ugly mclaren

  • interestingly Mclaren have seriously taken onboard magazine criticisms about the car and are making a whole host of changes to it.

    the editor of Evo magazinewas invited to Mclaren hq to view whats being changed etc and to drive the revised version and has written about it this month (not sure if the mags on general sale yet, i got my subscriber copy yesterday)

    as for TG well ofc theyre entitled to their opionions, but pls do remember theyre a tv entertainment program not a serious car mag.

  • if i was to be a millionaire i would just buy the best looking car and not really worry about the performance. Why? mainly because you're not going to take it to the track as often as you are going to drive it to your work/house/golf course etc and two best looking cars gets the most attention and 99.9% of the population have no clue which super cars are faster than which so they think that looks = speed.

  • A number of magazines, eg AutoCar, found that the 458 was better.

  • WTF faster than the bugatti veyron ss 

    592 hp vs 1200 hp??!!!

  • @TheTranfan One of them is also much heavier than the other. Horsepower does not equal speed.

  • @TheTranfan Mclaren paid Top gear to advertise their car. It can never been in the top 10 fastest cars around the track, forget about MP4 being 2nd.

  • @rforracing lol dont be so stupid

  • @rforracing no mclaren is just amazing

  • @TheTranfan This isnt McLaren F1, its a normal supercar called the MP4. I hope you can figure out the difference.

  • @rforracing yes i now but take the ford mustang and the lotus exige as example the mustang have much more hp than the exige but the exige is faster

  • @rforracing do you understand what the BBC is? Fucking idiot...

  • @TheTranfan Dude the cost of a Mclaren is $256,000 and the Bugatti is about 1.6 million dollars. Yeah the Bugatti isnt even a car because of the cost.

  • @Killzone2freak1028 yes that is true the veyron is way to expensive

  • PUT THE MP4 ON FIORANO

  • Comment removed

  • I used to trust in those reviews. But not anymore. You crush the viewers trust. Because it's simply amazing that every car show IN THE PLANET says that the 458 is better than the 12c and you said the opposite. How much was the check?

  • @Elmarcel22 wtf. I personally think that McLaren mp4-12c is better than 458 becos it handles well: u don't want to have a car that slide off the line in wet surfaces, do u?

  • @Elmarcel22 it also looks good too, far better than the 458 

  • @Elmarcel22 Keep in mind that Ferrari engineers would often spend a few days before the test tuning their cars to suit the track. Not saying the 458 is a worse car but, Ferrari is notorious for giving cars for testing that are not factory spec. Even in this video Clarkson said the MP4 was tuned for this track. No review is 100% fair.

  • @Mezzaaaaa the Ferrari may look good now but over time the car will look dated.

  • @TheTornado4000 Ferrari 575M's are 9 years old and still look awesome. In my opinion anyway.

  • @Mezzaaaaa hey, McLaren has added an upgrade to the car. Which improves the engine sound, the feel of the wheel and a lighter pedal shifter. Providing more excitement and fun to drive the car. So the soul or Zin problem is now solved.

  • Faster than a fuckin Veyron SS!!!

  • Lol only a commercial for McLaren. Check out the Fifth Gear review......

  • @Alexdelpiero74 Which is a commercial for the Ferrari....They don't say the Ferrari it's faster, only that they like more and that they can't drive the McLaren

  • whats the name of the backGround soundtrack between 00:23 to 00:44 ???

  • @Mezzaaaaa Dreamin mate

  • @Mezzaaaaa Link Or Website Please, I Would Like To Correct Myself, Thanks.

  • haha dude... wtf?.. this thing beat the enzo by more than 2 seconds

  • 0:54 ~ 1:00 looks like forza 4 quality

  • props for choosing kanye for opening music, even if it is an odd song

  • Comment removed

  • Mclaren is a more purpose built machine which means it would be horrible day in and day out compared to the ferrari that's why clarkson chose ferrari.

  • @victorbarraza87 when did he choose the ferrari?... and did you not hear him say how the fuel economy is way better and its more comfortable..... how would the maclaren be a bad daily compared to the ferrari?

  • @victorbarraza87 EVERY review ive seen says totally the opposite to you. they all indicate that the Mclaren is more refined, comfier, easier to use and would be a better day to day car whereas the Ferrari would give much more satisfaction on a proper blast.

    It will be interesting to see how much the improvements being implemented by Mclaren change the roadtesters views and if they then come to a different conclusion - only time will tell on that, but for now the ferrari wins every time

  • i just can not like this car... its ugly and reminds me of a lotus elise and the interior pffff....

  • I dont want both of them.just give me mclaren f1 gtr or LM :D

  • @farabirview Mclaren was developped in Top Gear circuit so it's easier ... It's not a fair test i mean it's the same that if you organise the test in Fiorano circuit ...

  • Who would take the McLaren over the ferrari?

  • @GreatUnboxer i would its faster lol

  • Daft Punk <3

  • next up, Top Gear should do a review on a Lamborghini Aventador and Pagani Huayra and Koeniggsegg agera-R(or any other latest V12 supercar)...Sweet : )) waiting for it to happen

  • I want to se that car on another track :p

  • 19 people are Ferrari 458 bitter owners...

  • Ferrari 458 Italia in my opinion looks better than the McLaren.

  • @TheeExpendables In fact, the McLaren doesn't look good at all. It's like the others supercars (Carrera GT, Enzo, Maserati, Mosler, etc), fast, fucking too expensive and ugly "space age design" ;)

  • @1918bibi The Mclaren isn't that expensive and the Mclaren is good looking its just to your opinion.

  • McLaren MP4-12C is so fast!!!

  • It beat the Gumpert and bugatti

  • @Mezzaaaaa Are you blind Jeremy explained how to do it. What do you mean by hand holding?

  • Does anyone know the song that starts at 0:48?

  • @semister5226 Kanye West - Runaway feat Pusha T

  • McLaren is faster than ferrari because is.. british, and as we know every british car is the best. Mclaren looks like a japanse car

  • @kkkrzysztov dont know if your being sarcastic but your very wrong.

  • @Mezzaaaaa it most certainly is not

  • Can't wait for the next McLaren's masterpiece..

  • @Mezzaaaaa Hahaha me an idiot ? A "supercar" must have a rear mid-engine and be sold in very limited numbers to deserve the name of "supercar", like the ferrari F40, the Ferrari Enzo, the Porsche Carrera GT for example ! Where do you see this on the Corvette stupid asshole ?

  • @Kamertusbeef You're a fucking idiot. "Supercar" is an entirely opinionated term it applies to whatever you deem to have "super" levels of performance, there is none of this "must be mid-engined' bullshit."

    According to you the 300SL and 250 GTO are not supercars.

  • @engared true dat!

  • Wasn't Developed At The Nurburg Ring HaHa, James Is Funny. And I'll Buy The Mp4-12c, Because Mp4-12c Is All Wheel Drive That's Why Its Faster Than The 458 Italia. And It Was Developed At The TopGear Track, Another Reason Why Its Faster Than The 458 Italia.

  • Anyone notice one of the daft punk tracks from the tron movie used in the intro?

  • @sanju2 Actually 3 of the daft punk tracks from the tron movie are used. WTF.

  • well mclaren is twin turbo.. ferrari is raw.. and the tracksion is off on that 458 .. well it works better whn on.. turbo is engine no .2 thumbs up if yu agree

  • Fake!

  • I just can say WTF after watching this video...Mclaren is simply just awesome!

  • I downloaded this Episode from YT thx uploader now BBC CAN KISS MY ASS LMAO :P

  • Um, bright orange Mclaren that's faster than a million dollar Enzo around the track and it has no "Zing?" Did I miss something?

  • @youthinasia303 faster than a nearly 2 million dollar (maybe more) VEYRON SS!!

  • Funny how a car with 592 hp is faster than a car with more than twice hp around the track.

  • Kinda looks like a cross between a Ascari KZ1 and a Ferrari 430

  • Great now i'm listening to the spanish version of abba =.=

  • 0:46 Runaway by Kanye West??? In top gear?

  • Comment removed

  • ive notice their using tron legacy music

  • It doesnt matter if the Mclaren is 'mathematically' and 'scientifically' better, its still not a Ferrari.

  • @AtheronX

    No, it's not a Ferrair, it's a Mclaren.

  • What a beautiful Filming my god !!! this is what I call Cutting Edge !!!!!!!!! i can watch this all day on replay thank you for the upload one of the best Episodes Ever I was waiting for a long time to see on top gear...

  • hmmm fun? what is that?

  • Does anybody know the song when they show the MP4-12C at the start?

  • @doddz2006 kanye west - runaway

  • @zecc81 Cheers man.

  • Don't count the McLaren because it will hurt your feelings.

  • this is the main difference, bi turbo vs pure horsepower. Ferrari > McLaren.

  • ahaha MP4-12C IS a fax machine name

  • @Cerberusphere because they tell you what you want to hear.lolol ha ha ha.he who speaks the truth and does not flatter you or your camp will not be loved by thee.

  • @35parkerm The Ferrari Enzo is faster than the Corvette ZR1 in acceleration and has a higher top speed... The ZR1 comes with a manual gearbox, that means it waste a lot of time when changing the gears compared to the Enzo's F1 gearbox. The Enzo is a supercar, not the ZR1, but the ZR1 can be faster around every tracks with special tyres and a great driver.

  • @farabirview in every test it's the opposite ... take a look

  • Honestly, I think ferrari hv a better car than the Mclaren.

  • Love how they played daft punk- btw the mclaren is one amazing ride- better than the 458 by a lot IMO

  • theres only one explantion for this lap time being so low.. its the new stig that is way better than the old one

  • love the daft punk tron legacy songs.

  • 458 without hesitation - it looks better, sounds better, and is more fun to drive. period.

  • First time I've seen the same cars on Fifth Gear & Top Gear. Not even Top Gear has done the California

  • no surprise they would fake a lap time for a British car, haha - just like they fake lap times for several of their favorites: Veyron SS, Ascari (British), Noble (also British). Yet they can't make a legitimate run for the Corvette ZR1, because they're embarrassed that it's faster than their $300,000+ favorites. Corvette is the 3rd fastest around the Nurburgring (6 seconds faster than Enzo), yet it's a second and a half slower than Enzo around their track - a high speed track....funny.....

  • @iwasadeum... u cannot compare the Corvette on the Nurburgring track with the top gear track lol... that track is mostly straight stretch of road with a few corners, so the car has time to reach its top speeds before going into a corner mate, where as on the top gear track, there isnt enough straight stretch of track for a car to reach its maximum speed mate, cause u come to a corner too soon, and also de track is smaller.

  • @iwasadeum thats why corvette is faster on the nurburgring track and slower on the top gear track, cause as we all knw corvette is not so good at handling when compared to the enzo mate...

  • The taillights on the Ferrari always bothered me. Some reason I feel it would've been better with two on each side like the F430. Something small to complain about, but just my opinion.

  • McLaren all the way

  • McLaren has done it again...

  • Comment removed

  • Dosnt the bugatti veyron super sport do 1200 hp?

  • @INMATE2468 Yeah, but it is heavier, and it isn't designed to go round corners that quickly.

  • Mclaren is faster BUY the Ferrari

  • As a car journalist I would definitely buy the Italia because of the excitement and emotion which originally comes from the loud noise but, as a normal sensible customer I would definitely buy the McLaren because it's exciting in sort of calm and poised kind of way, I can take this to cruise along the country roads without breaking my bottom or a headache. The McLaren is mean't to be an every day car.

    I would take the McLaren over Ferrari any time.

  • Ferrari = a person who has a sense of humor

    McLaren = a person who is always serious

    To be honest , Id have the 458 italia , because if i owned a car , i want it to put a smile on my face when i drive it.

  • @CarAddictCrAzY McLaren also doesn't let you kill yourself.

    McLaren = a person who is sensible.

  • @CarAddictCrAzY stereotypes,you gotta love them.this whole analogy is all rather superficial.If you drive the Ferrari you are cool ,have personality,soul etc?so you can feel good aboutyourself?nonsense!Cool,pe­rsonality(call it what you will)is all about doing what you want (with panache,confidence,nonchalance etc)and not neccessarily following the crowd.that's why the trully cool can get away with things the uncool cant.It's not about the car but of course you are free to choose what you like.

  • Tron Soundtrack at 00:22!! long live Daft Punk!! =D

  • The 2nd song with the piano intro, what's it called? Does anyone know?

  • @nicolaisidek Kanye West - Runaway

  • i just cant get into these matte finish rims that seems to be all the rage. must be gettin old.

  • i've watched a few comparison between the 458 and mp4-12c and all of them prefer the 458 italia and i guess ferrari has a better drive but i still prefer mclaren though

  • daft punk

  • oh yeah I think I do remember using the McLaren in Forza! for a moment I thought Top Gear was the developer for Forza!

  • Looks like Forza 4 footage at 0:58 and at 7:20 What do you think?

  • Wtf? How is that even possible?

  • mclaren soooooo much better

  • id have to say i think my 600hp xr6t is more fun, 1 quick button push for traction control aswell...winning

  • 13 honda drivers

  • Jeremey just makes stuff up to have a lead to his segments. The McLaren absolutely smokes the Ferrari in terms of design. The 458 has all kinds of cheesy gimmicks all over it to grab attention (just look at the spider-eye headlights and the weird nob taillights... bleh). WTF with the name though? MP4-12C is embarrassing.
