Tiff Needell with the Lister Storm

[CastrolSupra12]

beautiful

[nogglez]

dogbox + race engine never gets old

[Daveslazz]

i saw this exact car at Croft, it was in the pit garage with its backend off, and when they started it, it turned my pants brown !! and NUFC - - - Toooon Army !!

[TripleZ89]

HOW AWKWARD that this car has a Jaguar V12, and the XJ-220 doesn't. XP lol. I can't believe I keep forgetting about this car and its awesomeness. It needs more awareness. Someone should find one of the super rare road car version of this and review it. *COUGH*TOPGEAR*COUGH*.

[pretty00lights]

@TripleZ89 The problem is that the Lister is too rare. Only 4 road versions were produced and only 3 still survive

[mrsides89]

background music has a mission impossible feel

[GTRSv]

whats the name of the song in the beginning

[Loafy23]

Such a wonderful sound....

[cameronk7]

lister storm, will you marry me?

[singleblankscreen]

Has Audi 90 Tail lights too...

[loufadoros20]

@singleblankscreen yeah i noticed that too

[0611930024838]

grand turismo 4!!!!

[stormgt2]

I worked for listers and built the chassis for that car tiff was slow in it julian bailey could really pedal it!

[Oscillor]

for a second there, i thought I smelled tyre smoke

[inubis051989]

totally stole the limp bizkit song n played it in different order to avoid copyright

[pBBeN]

damn i would give anything to drive this monster

[Kurisuchianu89]

1:17

[enos218]

OMG if i drove that i'd have a toilet fitted instead of the seat.shit that thing rocks.

[ThePaulrmcadam]

[tastybuilder23]

[death555ful]

@tastybuilder23 so do i i have that tape also

[tastybuilder23]

@death555ful its savage :L

[gamemastaguy]

only if this car was street legal

[PijnigeR]

@gamemastaguy this is a racecar. There are "normal" Lister Storms which are street legal.

[DerJust661]

@gamemastaguy

I'd sell my grandma to get the money

[DerJust661]

Update:

I dont like the guy whos sitting in the car...

Why?

Simply... It's not me whos sitting there!!!

[DerJust661]

Im actually on work and this clip car just forced me to smile... The sound and the acceleration... Dude... Thats awesome!

[xilix]

I'd love to have a gearbox like this.

[ascari12]

now thats what a cars supposed to sound like. yeah!!

[DjMinda]

give it to the stig I'm sure that he would be delighted

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

The beast drives a beast! Superb!

[FM77]

nice

[kiroc89]

scenario: if I won the lottery I'd buy full on ex LeMans racecars and use them regularly as my daily drivers.

[mrdriftking8]

i just love that wow haaa ferraris wath that is a lister dudes that car is the master of the gt cars

[direbloodraven]

geez so sad how cars like this die out so fast.

[Regret696]

@direbloodraven

Yeah its a shame racing cars get retired after one season, makes me very sad :(

[extremedrivr]

This was a crazy monster with a BIG, 12 CYLINDER engine in the front! This defied all other supercars who's engines are mid mounted!

[mightyfinejonboy]

yup worked on and driven one of those. but only the 7litre v12 twin supercharged one.very impressive .the guy who owned it took me out for a spin in it ,what a cool guy:-) flames came out of the exhausts just moving it around the workshop at tick over LOL!! was just a lad at the time ,but had read up on it b4 it came to our work,so the guy was impressed someone know all about the specs.

[opyner]

Tiff Needell talks WAY too much.

[wayfront]

I really like the sound of those 12 cilinders, when the video is in 06:19 you can hear clearely how the revolutions rises, he might be in 3rd and at 60 or 70kmh at the beguining and then just accelerate, but if only mr. Needell shut his mouth for some seconds we could hear the lovely sound of those revo

[dojOdRiFTeR]

gran turismo 2 3 4 and 5 baby

[29Hz]

They could've at least timed it on the quarter mile. It's a disused runway ffs!

[dan4oslav2]

@29Hz This is a racecar,not a dragster...

[29Hz]

@dan4oslav2 So what? People take ordinary cars up the strip all the time so what's the difference between that or anything else?

[MoparAbody1979]

nice office !!! lol

[idiotman76]

At Speed it sounds like a TVR Speed 12

[0ua8]

All it's missing is a few Sidewinder missiles.I'd shit myself if this thing declared war on me.

[chucksterrr]

i like it.a race car that looks like a race car:)

[scavenom2008]

Tiff Needell you are the man!!! your show is 1000 times better than top gear with all of those jack asses making "funny" comments and dont even know hoe to drive

[dojOdRiFTeR]

tiff;s crew sucks i rather see him join top gear 4 guys we have captain fat, captain teeth(hamster, captain slow, and capatain proper (tiff lol)

[xBurninRubberx]

@dojOdRiFTeR he could replace ben collins and be the stig. that would be awesome.

[iknowcarsbetterthanu]

@xBurninRubberx lol like jeremy would let that happen haha

[MattMK45]

Did he race this lister in the 97 le mans when the mclarens debuted?

[14words2liveby]

god this car is awesome

[levlevi]

terrific!

[opyner]

3:47

[mrbogdan441]

that is badass

[gearheadd318]

I like the Fox Body Mustang tail lights.

[PijnigeR]

@gearheadd318 I don't think they are Mustang tails. I'm not sure though.

[AngryPostmanSthlm]

hahaha ffs! Not many things make me laugh nowadays..but i get tears im´n my eyes now...I LOVE TIFF hes so in it :)

and honestly that sound is more aeroplane then car "wwheeee-uuuuooooh" its so prehistoric and primitive that people would hide if you took it into town one day and revved it up a bit. Jurassic carpark!

[corvettecentral]

That looks awful, are the rear lights from an Audi 80?....haha

[jabajabamaster]

@corvettecentral ...of all the worst rear lights in the car industry..

[smurftits]

coolest car ever!

[buhrrito]

Nice Office, Tiff

[MoparAbody1979]

Amazing car

[BenH333]

The music at the start is a complete rip off of "Take a Look Around" by Limp Bizkit

[thalkettoth]

@djbowza its a rare car.. and the highlight of this segment was to show the inline gearbox, what better way than in a straight line?

[djbowza]

whats with no real track test? just runway blasts... is tiff scared of a real racing car all these years later??

[LordJesseD]

Well, this is from 2002, the last year of Old Top Gear. And this is just a special, like think of the more modern "Heaven and Hell" that Jeremey Clarkson did.

It's just for entertainment, nothing much serious.

[IBLOWN]

Wheres the "A GTR Skyline would beat that' guy? LOL

[Soulfood68]

The car really have an amazing racing history. From the beginning the car was more then 10 years older, in both design and aerodynamics then it's competion at the time it won the Fia Series. I'd love to see a 10 year old FIA car beat the crop of todays cars. but yes they had problems with the clutch and gears due to the imense toruqe the engine produced at low revs. But it was not reliability, it was money and sponsors that made the competitors better and stronger...

[smurftits]

i dont care about all the other cars that are faster and would rip this car to shreds in a race this car is the coolest car ever!

[ZappaGolf]

Lister Storm - a very fine racecar in the 90's. I've seen (and HEARD) it live at Hockenheim, Germany - unforgetable!!!

[adakar83]

Yeap. It was a real "dinosaur" of 90's it was even old then, it was BIG and less power then Viper's that where comming, Ferraris .... and it was STILL WINNING till 2005 .... that is real GT LEGEND car :-)

[GabriellKao22]

The song is Mission Impossible... Remix? I think so!

[TheStallion234]

Anyone know the song?

[AngryPostmanSthlm]

and i love this guy,,hes so nice and talk from hes heart..damn can someone take the smile from my face... now we just need to rob a bank...

[geforce5700fx]

I agree so much =)

He's great

[AngryPostmanSthlm]

Totally insane. i play a game with this car in and most people abandon it but i cant help loving it..its so R A W...pure dinosaur. not since the 80's i think theres been a car as raw and out of sanity as the audi ur-quattro ..they are both hightech but yet so "hillbilly-hometuned" in apperance (if you understand my choice of words) funny thing it seems as raw irl too.. no clutch ,just dang in the gears full throttle..then we have the downshiftings - kadanng!..dang..dang wuuuomm! whamm-whamm!

[rumrich]

You don't see many Lister storms on the track in some of the highly competative Gt series in europe and North America. I think it would still be a competitor.

[TheNewBob]

No. It ran a small handful of FIA GT races in 2005, and one in 2006, and it was hopelessly off the pace. Its best years were 2000-2003, and '98-'99 for the nicer-looking Storm GTL. The car in this video is from the 2000 season, although Tiff didn't race it very often. I saw him win at Donington that year, though, in the wet.

[LOGIKLAG]

i still find him annoying

[Dext37Fielding]

also to be fair, tiff was more safe at the back of the field in a Nissan Primera lol.

[210gumby210]

it uses a Jaguar V12

[castravetele]

nope, it's a jaguar v12, and at almost 7000cc is one of the largest V12 fittend in a car.

[Dknightxs]

yes lister storm was one of the biggest supercars... it was bigger and wider than a lambo... and features a 7 litre jaguar v12... means its the largest v12 to be fitted in a car

[LordJesseD]

At least in a four seater car. The Zonda uses a 7.3L V12 after all, which is damn big.

But for a time, I think that the Storm had the biggest V12 in a production car.

[anirex911]

lovely car. the sound is awesome.. and love the gearshifts...

[adokenk3nnbasil]

pretty sick car...

and video

[tomgrainger93]

Wow! 199 mph; that's what you call fast! Is it still British manufactured? Why does he have to reck the tyres at the end though lol?!

[offitcock]

i'm sure it's not hard to get a couple of new ones

[VortexNeurofunk]

if u were in a 700hp lister storm ur telling us that you wouldnt do that? LIAR lol

[kareemcool2007]

absolute monster!

[adakar83]

@kareemcool2007

In GTR and GTR2 ... I race ONLY Lister in GT Class... I know that I would win easy with Salen or 575 but ... GOD, that is a real race machine. Love it ...

[automobilslalom]

I could not find the song. Does anyone have more information about the song?

Thanks

[XMOUS3YX]

thats one sexy machine

[OuijaB0ard]

What is the song?

[chezzylee]

great british car, i do believe they only ever made 20 road cars. never seen one but i would soooo cream :-p

[craigmontini]

i just read that cos they were so costly to produce, only 4 road cars were made.

officially makin that "as rare as rocking-horse shit"

[0nikron]

Shame this form of racing isn't popular in the US. I'd love to see one of these in person.

[tugslap]

the american le mans series is quite popular although the gt1 class is dead

[thalkettoth]

yeah...it really is... ugh

[WOLFTU8]

cars in FIA GT is the best of the best :D

[Elicgt]

I LOVE this car!!

[Bmants]

This was not an attractive car to me, but to the wind and the track it was beautiful. It was a winner.

[mattepolaco]

Sounds mean!

[YouFucked2]

I like its looks it looks mean but a bit messy, you never see the redesigned Lister in any media though.

[enyap88]

i luv that sequential gearbox, want one in my car

[spoochmonkey]

it looks like an acura nsx back with a ferrari f40 front.

[ozon3k]

Very ugly looking car. But i love it :)

[opterios]

I have the exact same opinion about it. So ugly, but I really adore it!

[PredatorAOD]

The Newcastle United Lister Storm Was Better.

Football Logo On The Front And ADIDAS Written On The Sides! SEXY!

[musikTECH]

oh what a car!, memories from gran turismo 2

[deggis4]

I don't get this "car review"... I mean, Tiff - as ex-professional driver... then he's just going down the straight again and again then doing doughnuts for an hour or something... It can't be that fun :D

[Bolabolai]

The lister storm was the reason I beat Gran Turismo 2. :D

[taranchula97]

I remember beating that game using only the Dodge Viper GTS-R.

But the Lister Storm is still an awesome race car to drive in that game as well.

[Dknightxs]

storm was my fav car in Gran turismo 2.. cuz it was much cheaper than the other Speical cars... and if u tune it and all it would still cost u less than even the rally cars...and it had the nicest acceleration and handling.. STORM FTW!

[enyap88]

when he lifts off the throttle it sounds like a jet engine powering down

[TrialsManDan]

Whats that song called?

[dnch]

i think it is some remix of that american gay group limp bizkit

[reylandcossie]

Pretty unsuccesfull racing record for the greatest racecar in history:) look on wikipedia,it wasn`t that succesfull after all.lots of reliability issues.

[FricorithSnicket]

Jeremy Clarkson is a fag! Tiff Needell is awesome!!!!

[mysticalpotato86]

seriously good looking car!

[webbyman]

love the car, love the paintwork!

[duraiden]

Hell of a car. I have a certain fondness for the Mazda 787B though.

[ADadasadasdadw]

The Lister Storm is the greatest Racecar in History & for ever!!

I <3 Lister Storm

[chdk082289]

I want tiff's job
