Lower the SPL levels on the microphones and let us turn it up louder so we get amazing unclipped undistorted sound next time! Do a run then adjust the gain so there's no clipping and then do the main shoot! Also tunnels suck for hearing the true clear crisp sound of the car

Actually, Mister "Power! Power" (you know who I mean...) would just describe the driver of that car "having plums the size of coconuts" for piloting such a monster in that tunnel! Yes there are cars that went much faster but had a bit more safety features built in... Respect to the STIG!

Mark my words this video will be generational. This is probably the highest quality documentation of the most visceral engine ever created! 8:55 Top of 3rd at over 10k rpm, double clutch on the 3-4, full throttle letting her scream to the top of 4th, then that backfire on the overrun... no other engine can compare, fact.

Years ago I helped with the running of one of these for a private museum. Incredibly we were allowed to test the car in the lunch hour at a track day at Brands Hatch. When the car was pushed into the pitlane none of the TVR/ Caterham etc. drivers took much notice: - old car, yeah, yeah, back to the burgers and chips. -Then we fired it up! By the time it came round to cross the start line everyone was hanging over the pit wall going crazy!

"..Mike Hawthorn, who drove the car at Folkingham but later complained: "It was no use - every time I came to a corner and went below the 8,000rpm mark, the power went right off. Then, suddenly, as you reached the 8,000 mark the full power would come in and you had a job to hold the car straight. At 8,000rpm it really did motor, but the steering was nothing to write home about"

I cant wait to hear late 90s F1 car blasting down that tunnel at 19 000rpm.

I saw one of these at the very first Goodwood Festival of Speed. In an attempt to start it, the car was being towed up and down a sloping grassy field that was the paddock, by a brown MkIV Cortina estate. First, three or four cylinders caught, then a couple more, with each following cylinder adding to the symphony. Epically memorable, maybe because of the Cortina' assist.... Some years later, a book called Into The Red, by Nick Mason and Mark Hales, has an accompanying audio CD of the cars featured, one of which is the BRM V16. (I'm sure it'll turn up on a search here on YT.) It is recorded at Donington Park, commencing with a push start in the pitlane, where you can identify the same sequence described above, until with the full compliment of cylinders howling, it sets off for some glorious laps. A single microphone (on the pit wall, I believe) captures the engine in all its glory as it starts and sings around the laps, and if you know the circuit you can truly identify exactly where the car is from the rise and fall of the furious mechanical orchestra. The effect of the drive-by as it passes the pits each lap is properly shiver-inducing. Even now I can feel it typing this......

absolutely amazing , i enjoyed every second of this video , the last onboard is a symphony , thanks a lot top gear for bringing this absolute experience

I don't think I've ever had a tear in my eye from listening to a car like I just did... Incredible Love the inventiveness of new segments like this. Keep it up team 👏

First time I heard of this car was in high school so over 12 years ago. I would listen to videos of it running cause it was so crazy. When Bugatti released the V16, this was the first and only car that came to mind.

Many many years ago I had the unforgettable pleasure of hearing a BRM V16 being push started on the grass at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, between the parked visitors' cars, just as I was walking back to my own car to drive home again.

Oh my word! I'm covered in goosebumps after watching that (with headphones on)

It doesn't matter who the stig is, what matters most is what th stig stands for, the fastest of anything, cap tipped stiggy. Bravo

I thought TopGear would never amaze me again, but I´m happy that I was wrong! This is proper!!

I’ve been wanting a video like this for over 17 years. Thank you Top Gear crew.

The video is awesome and so is the sound. But nothing will ever do that thing justice, seeing it and hearing it in real life, just a step away from the exhaust as it reverberates through your body, it’s truly one of the most beautiful sounds to the body.

At long last something worth watching

Now that's an engine sound, what a great series so far....loving the headphone tech.

Please please, get the Ferrari-Lancia D50 for this! That V8 will sound amazing in that tunnel too! If it is not too much asking, a Matra MS120 would be nice 😊

Binaural recording goes back way before ASMR was a thing. It was in use back in the 1970's for classical and folk recordings, and the technology goes back to the 1950's...

Nothings screams "overcomplicated engineering" like a V16 with just 1.5 litres displacement using an overcomplicated supercharger and producing around 600 horsepower. But hey, Formula One always had the most crazy technology in racing. 😁🤟

@Miked1332

600hp in those days is so much. Especially trying to put that power down on the track with those skinny wheels! I would just be clenched so hard the entire time sitting in that car. There'd be a noticeable crease in the middle of that seat, I can promise you that. 😂😂😂

JO,,, NOW THAT is EPIC!!!!! PLEASE MORE for our 'old' 'folks' to HAVE THE ear-GASMS' to remember when the expiree date REACHES us.... PLEASE!!!!! MORE!!!!

Why is it that now I like Top Gear again since the era of Clarkson, Hammond and May. But this one is really sick! The last time I watched the Audi Quattro S1 Group B Rally Car episode, it was sick!!! 🔥🔥🔥If I usually watch videos through speakers, in this Tunner Run, I always use headphones because of recommended by Becky Evans. WOOHOO. The sound of BRM P15 1.5 ltr V16!!! SUPERCHARGED!!! This is nuts. A sound it's make me happppyyyyyyyy and a smile on my face. So precise. Can't wait for the next one. Good job, Top Gear! Good job!

I know there will always be people who will say the LFA or some V12 supercar out there sounds the best, but for me personally the BRM V16 has the greatest and most insane engine noise out there. This thing sounds like it's perpetually at it's limit and also not straining itself at all. When you press on the gas it immedietly reminds of entire groups of V8 Stock cars rushing past your ears at 200mph, while the BRMs engine isn't even at it's limit even has some more noise packed in store above 9000RPM. The engine screams like it doesn't want to be inside the chassis and is ready to hop straight out of it any minute, but it also looks so resolutely built you'd be hard pressed to find a reason to fear the machine besides the noise. The entire car is an enigma, a 2L V16, revving to 11k RPM, it's something you think up as a concept while daydreaming, not something you'd ever see in a car and I love it for that!

8'20 or so onwards with those special microphones is just an incredible sound! Could (have)! listen to that on repeat for quite some time!

The onboard was glorious. That's one of the best things I've heard in awhile.

What a cool piece of history! The fact that they took the time to replicate the BRM-16 in it's entirety is just crazy! I'm sure with modern steel alloys and such, it's a lot more reliable than the original.. and sounds just as wicked! I'll bet if they put that engine in a relatively modern F1 frame and did a few mods, it would be a pretty tough contender!😉👍👍

Brilliant move with the audio. Beautiful sounding car. Listening to this and seeing the video brought tears to my eyes.

Fantastic video! Loved the headphone segment at the end and great presenting! Best Top Gear content in a long time! 😀

The Stig AND Becky Evans? - NOW YOU’RE TALKING! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

My father always described the sound as a babys wail, but good. 😂 Always had a spot for the noise these monsters produce! The sound of one coming down the straight from "Into The Red" is seared into memory! I've been a fan of the BRM V16 since I was a kid, this video has been an auditory sensation!

Shivers up my spine and goosebumps galore! Find the audio of one of these howling around Goodwood - glorious!! Visited the BRM museum in Bourne a few years ago - the pistons for this V16 are tiny!

Good Lord, just that intro gave me goosebumps!

This new sound you guys have going on here is absolutely awesomely amazing. My heart rate shot up as if I was driving that car and at one point I was expecting a bomb to go off.

A very neat, if not winning car. As for noise, the video seems muted. The grandest noise I've heard was walking to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2001 while the cars were warming up for the USGP. From several blocks away the V10"s were ripping the air!

Thankyou guys, great sound quality. I wouldn't get too excited about the 'sonic sorcery' phenomena though- it's nothing more than stereo sound, and even when we landed on the moon, stereo was old news.
