  • thetreman's comment is more interesting than this world record attempt

  • Old Group B rally cars used to do 2.4s, on dirt! Ken block did a 1.9 on hot slicks in his new car.

  • @asdfghjklkjhgfdsa555 ken block is a fucking show driver

  • @TheGabMab cool story bro

  • @mcmanus1806 They sure as fuck wouldn't dumbass. Look up the 0-60 times on both of those.

  • @stabandhack1 the turbo s has cracked of 0-60 times in 2.7 seconds with the pdk gearbox...

  • a nissan GT-R or porsche turbo s would easily beat this time :S

  • do they have a roof?

  • Anyone notice Red Victor One at 0:53 ?

  • Every fucking time Vicky reviews something there's always a "disaster"!

  • is that white smoke from his clutch or what

  • @DesktopSportsFan ya he burned it up tryin to ride so he wouldnt spin his tires.

  • gtr does 0-60 in 2.9 sec.

  • @Vitoman808 not in the real world

  • @TDUCruise yes it does, the 2012 model does.

  • its 2 bad on top gear no1 can drive since tiff left

  • @leemassey1 When Tiff left, did Stig die or something ? lol Top Gear will always be better. But "another" gear is also not bad actually.

  • @sangeeth666 the stig is hardly in it?? fifth gear always has tiff who can drive, jason plato who is champion touring cars, and vicki butler-henderson who also can drive. top gear has captain slow (prob top gears best driver) hamster jus an annoying dickhead that never makes any1 laugh. and jezza all he can do is spin around although he is abit funny.

  • @leemassey1 You are one of those people who don't acknowledge the fact related to why around 400 million people watch Top Gear. You see, Fifth Gear is a good car show. But you need to be a car buff to enjoy it. But you don't need to like cars to enjoy Top Gear. And if Top Gear presenters were all racing car professionals, it probably wouldn't be as popular as it is now. It will be like Fifth Gear. If you like Fifth Gear, good for you. Enjoy it.

  • @sangeeth666 im just saying top gear started out like that like when i used to like it but now its shit. every week is a shit challenge and at the end of the day it is a car show, the trouble is now to many people like it they changed, it used to be better. people ruin everything!!

  • @leemassey1 I understand what you are trying to say. You want it to be strictly about car reviews and facts. In today's world, nobody is going to enjoy that. Everything has to have some entertainment in it. Thats what Top Gear did. From 2002, they talked about cars with humor. And i personally feel that this new humor thing is brilliant. Just think about it, they succeeded, didn't they ?

  • @sangeeth666 lol i dont mind a laugh im english. but its not funny anymore?? thats what i meen it was better before. they attracted all these b people when it was original, now they fucking ruined it!!

  • gtr r 35 could do it in 2.98

  • @coolk1d917 the aom 500 can do it faster

  • these cars should be hitting 60 muuuch faster then most were

  • I'd like to see a veyron engine... in an atom :D

    2000 bhp/tonne would probably strip the rear tyres in 3.07 seconds ;3

  • Oh, no! He beat a Ford! That means that all Europeans according to the Americans are racists!

  • C'mon people! I like both Top Gear and Fifth Gear! Just think about it. Fifth Gear or Top Gear US?

  • @MacGyver920 Top Gear Australia > Top Gear US > a pile of poo > Fifth gear

  • @Anima87 WTF? You sad, sad imbecile. It goes like this: Top Gear > Fifth Gear > Top Gear Australia > a pile of shit > Top Gear US.

  • @MacGyver920 I agree on Top Gear (UK), but Fifth gear is pretty worthless.. they copy and they are not entertaining to watch.

  • @Anima87 You should check your facts before you claim so. Fifth Gear isn't copied, it's pretty much the same show, but when ''Top Gear'' with Jeremy Clarkson started in 2002, they had to change name to Fifth Gear, or something like that.

  • @MacGyver920 Yes, i'm aware that Fifth Gear came to life first. Jeremy was on that team lol..

    But everything that Fifth Gear does is the same as Top Gear did before them.. Just that Fifth Gear is lame and boring to watch. The hosts dosen't have the synergy that the lads on Top Gear have. Everything seems like bad acting when they talk in the studio. The only thing Top Gear needs is a girl with big tits like fifth gear have.

  • @Anima87 You seriously want a girl on Top Gear? That would ruin the show forever. Men behave differently when there's a woman around, and a woman on Top Gear would just be wrong in so many ways. The show would be changed forever and become nothing more than a copy of Fifth Gear.

  • @MacGyver920 no your facts are wrong mate top gear has been going since the 70s but stopped in 1999 to re vamp it and it came back in 2002 like it is now.

  • @ScottiesVlog What about Fifth Gear? I read somewhere that the show had to change its name to Fifth Gear BECAUSE of Top Gear.

  • @MacGyver920 It was never going to be called top gear as BBC owned the rights to that name and i think it was chanel 5 or channel 4 which aired 5th gear .

    At the end of the day 5th gear is like the 90s top gear more about the car and less entertainment which i preferred.

  • @ScottiesVlog It was channel 5. And when Jeremy Clarkson joined ''Top Gear'', the show became WAY more popular, cause he's such a funny guy. But when he left the show, it died.

  • @MacGyver920 Sort of, but not really. Top Gear was on the air for years before Clarkson. It was a much more serious car magazine show, like Fifth Gear is now. But by 2000 the ratings dropped and much of the original cast and crew left to make a new show called "Fifth Gear". That's when Clarkson approached the BBC and took over Top Gear and remade it into the show we know today.

  • this must be pretty old then, cuz the veyron does 2.5 or there abouts

  • Huh...my del sol does 0-60 just a little over 2 seconds slower than the ariel atom. Not so impressive :'(

  • my wife wanted something that would do 0-200 in less than two seconds.....bought her a bathroom scale.

  • @thetreman Lol, that's just wrong.

  • THIS SHOULD READ; Fifth Gear - Ariel Atom 0-60 World Record 'FAIL"!!!!!

  • dudes ur talking about a veyron??? wtf???? Escort MK2 FTW!!!!

  • ecu tuned 2012 nissan gtr 0-60mph in 2.7 sec!

  • @kg35tt b.s.!!!!

    

  • @kg35tt This video is old. The record must have been broken by now. A stock 2012 Nissan GTR hit 2.9 seconds. 

  • @ASSHOLELA m8 thts bull a veryon never ran 2.46 s thts bullshit

  • this is not a world record. The Bugatti already did 0-60 in 2.46s.

  • what engine is this with?

  • @IXGQ4LifeXI 2.0l honda with a supercharger at 300hp

  • This wouldn't happen to be a huge rip off of Top Gear would it?

  • @rockinw401

    Fifth gear doesn't have assholes who hate on everything in it.

  • what about a top-fuel dragster?

  • @bkboy747 ikr they hit like 280 in like 2.85 seconds

  • @bkboy747 track are prepped with VHT Track bite to make track so sticky it pulls your shoes off

  • they should get a caparo t1 extreme.

  • clutch has gone because of driver's skill, not a million excuses... Wanker

  • so in other words you've just wasted 3 minutes of my time ...

  • @coxy8oi You wasted your own time by watching it.

  • I thought red victor got 0-60 in 1 second?

  • @stefanpetrov8 yea it did

  • Boooo!! These people are copying Top Gear

  • @airboy90 you are joking yes? top gear is a commercial revamp of fifth gear

  • @everythingsreal top gear was waaaay before fith gear bro..

  • @aciidphreeek lol not way before, top gear tried to go big in 2001 and failed, fifth gear actually made it and reeled in interest, and then top gear came back and stole all interest with their exciting acting, smashing caravans and racing stigs.

  • @everythingsreal look it up.. Jeremy even joined top gear 1988

  • @aciidphreeek hmm if you looked it up i trust you...either way, i always remembered fifth gear first cos it was the one which went big first for all car enthusiasts. and then top gear as i said is a commercial revamp. aiming for a more mainstream audience like new racing games with their automatic brake aids.

  • @airboy90

    how did they copy top gear?

  • @airboy90 Its better to me =)

  • @airboy90 So what? No one forces you to watch it.

  • @airboy90 Top Gear is about entertainment and men being idiots, this is actualy about cars and reviews.

  • @DjmfoxCo you just got a mega thumbs down :DDDD

  • @MsCrappants why? Most topgear fans agree

  • going to have to comment again.. these people are retarded, get a guy that can drive in there you can see the clutch smoking from the 2nd run barely, but you can definitely see it from the 3rd run, should have stopped then and practiced more

  • try it again with the ariel atom v8, he wont need the clutch and well it has 200 more hp

  • @TheMainMan318 that power still needs to transmit itself to the wheels, then to the track in some way. It's ok welding two Hayabusa engines together as long as you can transfer this to the tarmac. The clutch plate needs to have the friction under immense heat and the tyres need to be able to get this power down. It's a pretty difficult act to pull off. You also need a driver who understands the car inside and out.

  • 1:43, your welcome

  • It is me or is Vikki B Henderson fit, can handle a car and is very easy on the eye

  • Caterham or atom which one is better ?

  • @MrAloo14 Atom V8 will murder even an X Bow

  • @zlyable which one is better n road legal i ment to say

  • Ah, well in that case it still isn't a production car :\

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone notice Red Victor One at 0.55?

  • Comment removed

  • Fifth Gear? Top Gear is so much better...

    

  • top fuel dragster .6 seconds to 100 mph, so... what record?

  • @Narutofan1000k For a road legal production car? Top fuel dragsters need an engine rebuild after what like, 10 seconds at full throttle? I don't think that'd work out too well as a road car.

  • @Rawrhisshalala i believe there is somewhere on here that the guy has a drag car that he commutes from home to work and back and he has to rebuild the engine every night. But thats what i got from the interview, its under "worlds fastest car" search

  • @Narutofan1000k Its called Red Victor 1...it appears at 0:55

  • @lapoosh oh look at that....i didnt notice it oddly. but supposedly it can beat a veyron, so why didnt it

  • @lapoosh yeah that car did 0-60 in 1 sec. in another fifth gear video?????

  • Comment removed

  • TOP GEAR FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ilil100 yeah baby! the presentation here just sucks after watching top gear.

  • I reconn Atom 500 would do it 

  • You Are The Killer Of TopGear! :(

  • The record is for production cars so the street legal hot rod or tuned skyline/supra's are not eligable to go for the record

  • this car is gay

  • fuckin nob driver tbf..

  • 0:55 is that Red Victor 1 i see?

  • bunch of pussy's. this is a no brainer. Put 30 litre up front and a few bags of sand over the back axle and punch it !!

  • Around 54-57 they show a car which can go 0-60 in 1 second with 2200 hp ... i'm curious why the ariel atom even matters when that car, perfectly street legal, is sitting right there ... kinda makes this video seem stupid imo, but maybe this was shot before that car had ALL its addons and was finished, idk

  • you can see the clutch burning on every run, wow.

  • ariel atom is a pretty quick car it should have made it

  • you know what sucks, when the AD stops loading..

  • Have a better driver!

  • imo there were 2 factors that my have hindered that car's ability to beat the world record, the driver's inability to shift the gears at precisely the right time, and ofc crosswinds which may or may not have been present at the time...

  • if i bought a atom,i will put a spilter and a spoiler cuz is too fast without any downforce and i will improved on the brake as it is worst than a ford focus lol

  • put a fat guy in a veyron, and he will do it under 3 secs every time

  • @MisterGasMan Highly probably true, than again that is all a Veyron will do, it will tell people you had the money to buy big but lacked wit or style and settled for a Veyron, its an icon, its an accelerator, it is a SHIT racecar.

  • @dutchdude1985

    hehe true. You don't want a veyron on a race track.

    Anyway if i had the money i'd go for the Koenigsegg Agera :)

    It has the speed of the veyron, but it's light and oh so brutal.

  • @MisterGasMan This supra rapes all veyrons ever made or tuned

    watch?v=jxIu_1yQwq4

    1.868HP

    [ bilgalleri. dk / html / gal_visbil. asp? ID=186701 ] for full spec

  • @blazirh

    lol it's like skeeing with that cari bet if you do that 10 times it overheats.

    Supra's are great for tuning but yoy can,'t compare them to veyron's.

    Also is it faster then 3s to 100? It's just spinning.

  • @MisterGasMan Put me in an Atom v8 and I'll do it faster than a Veyron.

  • @MisterGasMan nope! all the specs the producers state for their cars are just theoretically and no one can do it under 3 seconds in an veyron!!! the veyron would be closer to like 4 seconds

  • @TheInGenCO wrong. the veyron has been recorded by autoBild Sportscars doing 2,84sec 0-62mph

  • @MisterGasMan but ariel atom v8 does it in 2.3 and the veyron is pretty much a lorry with 987 hp (it doesnt have 1000 as they always say) since it ways almost 2000kg

  • @MrBusunglueck

    Yes the new Atom is faster fcourse, but it's just so funny how hard they try, and then the clutch has gone XD

    That 'lorry' from 2 tons can do it faster then this every single time, and won't break every 5 minutes like this thing. But it is a bit more expensive ;)

  • @MisterGasMan who suggest it wont break!? :D dont be so sure of that he power comes from turbochargers only so it is pretty likely not to be very reliable

  • @MrBusunglueck

    Have you seen the documentary about the Veyron yet? watch?v=Ys6_A-MnJGg&feature=re­lated

    It's created together with aircraft companies, so they use only the best materials, and tested it like crazy :p

    Yes it can break..but it won't happen so often.

  • @MisterGasMan it is actually very much depending on temperature and the air and so on. yea it wont break down so often but surtainly more than a normal car. and also a car that generates so much power just from turbochargers is quite likely not to run a 50000 km in its life

  • fuck off stupid bitch that dont know shit about cars. get someone that has a clue then maybe the show would be more popular

  • @lingling0432219507 she is a racing driver, I bet you aint

  • @127069 and? doesnt mean she knows shit about cars

  • @lingling0432219507 That's like saying a fighter jet pilot wouldn't know shit about planes, piss off.

  • It still prove how fast that thing can go..

  • why does everyone say Red Victor 1 does it in 1 second? Its not that fast... There is hundreds of thousands of cars MUCH faster than it... there is cars that do the 0 to 60 in under a quarter of a second... 

  • @frostbytey The Red Victor is one of the few cars that can do it and still be street legal (emissions legal, 90mm from the ground, windshields, side mirrors, handbrake, etc. etc.), that's why people talk about the Red victor. Those other cars aren't legal for use on the road.

  • British Eric Forman did not succeed that time...

  • Red victor 1. 0:54. that does it in 1 second.

  • @RCvehicles How do you know he just put in a brand new clutch before the event?

  • how do you burn the clutch out in about 6 runs!? LOL

  • @RCvehicles it was back to back hard ass runs..

  • @RCvehicles thats what happens when u dump the clutch at anything over 5000 rpm

  • @RCvehicles it´s a Honda engine...The honda engines manage to destroy the clutch

  • @RCvehicles  jajajaja you are funny!

  • @RCvehicles Tesing and test runs

  • @RCvehicles Tesing and test runs before hand

  • @RCvehicles hard launches feathering the clutch trying to get the best 0-60 time is very hard on the clutch. Not surprised it burnt out

  • @RCvehicles

    Couse he sucks as a driver? :-p

  • @RCvehicles Well it's doubtful those were the only 6 launches done with that clutch. I'm sure they gave it a go a few times before they even got to that event and who knows how much else they beat on it before that day. I think another thing to keep in mind is that they did those 6 hard launches back to back to back and considering how hot that clutch probably got, I'm sure it wore down much faster than if those launches were over the course of a day or something. Still pretty crazy though...

  • @RCvehicles launching in 2nd gear...

    

  • @RCvehicles

    Hill starts mate - they're a bitch :D

  • @RCvehicles

    Better question. How to you burn a clutch that came from a Honda Civic R that weight nearly 3 times as much?

  • Bad driver alert!

  • lolz...the bugatti veyron can do it in just 2.5 sec..

  • how is this a record if the veyron does it in 2.5 seconds?

  • @FUCK202 it doesnt, i reckon they just guess most of the time

  • @mark675 they cant do that because then someone would sue them for misleading advertisment so they must have proven it can do it, and also my forza 3 veyron can do it...

  • @FUCK202 no they wouldnt get sued, the old atom was said to do 0-60 in 2.3 seconds but no one could get it to do it, check the vids on you tube

    it does it in 3 seconds, still very fast but every not quite 2.3 seconds,

    the veyron wouldnt do it in 2.5 either, its a 2 tonne car, yeah its got 4wd and 1000hp but it still weighs 2 tons+

  • @mark675 how can they state something they cant prove? its like apple saying the latest ipod touch can switch on in 10 seconds, when it actually switches on in 30 like it does now.

  • @FUCK202 well show me proof that it can do it then? ive seen a vid of the old atom trying to break the 3 second mark and it couldnt, then the clutch burned out so sorry if i dont believe it, they said that one does it in 2.3 aswell,

    seems like they exagerate slightly, its not illegal to claim things.. bike manufacturers are always lying about power figures and weight

  • @mark675 maybe but i would have thought they cant state a car can do something when they cant prove it.

  • @mark675 also bugatti could just state 'hey our car actually goes 295mph and is therefore the fastest car in the world' and then lamborghini can come along and say 'yeah but ours goes 305mph so we are the fastest'

  • @FUCK202 yeah but thats abit too much of an exageration tho and theyd get found out in no time! top speed is just put ur foot flat down in every gear, launching a car or a bike properly takes alot of skill.

    to be fair if they had warm sticky race tyres and grippy race track tarmac, perfect conditions and a very good race driver then maybe under 3 seconds is possible, but for 99.9% of the people out there its gonna be 3 seconds plus.

  • @mark675 guess so

  • Those numbers arent even close to right, no production car can go that fast, check again

  • @FUCK202 295...305????? what in the hell are you talking about? Neither are even close to those numbers

  • @ducati82 a. if you read the whole convorsation then maybe you will work that out.

    b. i never stated that the veyron goes 305mph

    c. why have you posted this 4 times

    d. that is the point in me saying it

  • @FUCK202 295...305????? what in the hell are you talking about? Neither are even close to those numbers3

  • @FUCK202 295...305????? what in the hell are you talking about? Neither are even close to those numbers

  • @FUCK202 295...305????? what in the hell are you talking about? Neither are even close to those numbers

  • if it is flappy paddle gearbox it would beat

  • i love that this driver went with small tires...

  • LIFT YOUR LEFT FOOT MONGO!!!

  • Main Excuse:

    Riding the clutch!!!

    Did you see all that clutch smoke!!

  • if that guy knew how to properly launch and not ride his clutch he would of had it.

  • 287 People Never Watched TOP GEAR

  • the Bugatti Veyron SS would smash the record by a half second i think

  • That is so unsafe. The car doesn't even have rollover protection ..

  • @LoveTheCity123 one, car sits low to ground , two car is wide AND low to ground, three hes goin in a straight line, four, no body roll.

  • @LoveTheCity123 agreed with Sidowse. I'd have to be insane to bring your infant child with you in an Atom.

  • @LoveTheCity123

    r u blind??
