Having a driver on a car show who can actually drive (apart from the stig) is a plus in my book, and I can't blame the BBC for making such a successful franchise international. I've watched every episode of Top Gear UK and USA and I enjoyed every episode, after all, its all about the cars
It's a great piece, and the editing is brilliant too. There's no need to instantly hit the dislike button for Top Gear US these days. It seems to be pretty good. From an Englander

The most powerful car with the least weight and most advantageous engine placement won. Hardly a surprise.
At the end, I can imagine Tanner yelling "I HAVE THE BEST JOB EVER", And he'd be right.
personally, i prefer UK version 10 times more, but this guy is great, i really like him, and i really like the review of the car, what a beast ! its my favourite, no doubt about that !

Dear Santa..........
I'll admit that I'm not much of a TG-USA fan but even I have to admit that this video was really cool. Living in LA and driving every single one of those streets shown in the video morning, afternoon, and night, it's one hell of a trip to watch. The city at really late at night is a beautiful place to drive, apart from the occasional pot hole. But if you know the road, it's a peaceful drive and it's actually really quiet. Bravo.
Wait if you pay the government to block off PUBLIC streets you can race and do burnouts, but if I do it in a PRIVATE parking lot it's a disturbance and ruining the asphalt.

Great Job Tanner! Nice to see proper commentary, and tastefully produced content! Antics are one thing, but doing it with style takes skills and talent. Top Gear USA seems to finally have found that class!
I think that may have been the best TGUS segment I've ever seen. When he released the kraken on the streets of L.A., I literally got chills. Great buildup of tension and expectation. The epic car being driven didn't hurt, either. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
l keep hoping that Porsche will make a 991GT2, GT2RS.

I love that he actually pronounces Porsche correctly.
Top Gear USA has just sparked my interest once again.
American cars are great for burnouts
The germans,always!
true, but im sure he's talking about the performance of the turbo's spooling up, and efficiency of the intercooler. it makes a huge difference.
when i first seen this car, i fell in love, sure the newer porsches are cool, but this thing is a beast all of its own, its probably the best looking generation of 911 too

10 жыл бұрын
so you're not a fanboy with your comment? lol. Lambo is far easier to type and spell wrong the Lamborghini I can't be bothered with grammar nazi's but to the point. Lamborghini has always made cars for the road. Ferruccio Lamborghini was always against racing, their engineers built race spec cars in secret but under Ferruccio's control they never got the green light for it. So one it has no history. Ferrari on the other hand was only made to fund Enzo's racing team and they are still to date the most successful F1 team. Now excluding racing history and pedigree, if you look at the cars, the Ferrari has always produced more bhp litre, f430 vs gallardo, 458 vs hurracan, bhp per litre the Ferrari has more and now the Lambo is 4WD, people that like to drive don't want 4WD, the 4WD is there for safety and not speed, if it was for speed then why doesn't the P1 or LaFerrari have 4WD? because the 4WD is there so posers don't die. And when Mclaren, Ferrari and Porsche released the P1, LaFerrari and 918 spyder, Lambo was there with that stupid Venono which is just an aventador with kit on. After saying all of this I would still love to own a lambo, they still are great cars and an amazing experience but if you want go fast around a track or really enjoy your favourite driving road, you want the Ferrari or a Porsche GT2/GT3

Best auto maker in the world. Reliability, performance, elegance, refinement, resale value, tunable, and customizable. Tanner should of opted for the even more rare GT3 RS 4.0 For all the haters, the turbo S is one of the quickest to 60, right up there with Bugatti and the GTR

My point exactly. Before there was launch control there was driving skill. They floored those cars while Foust did a clean jump off the line.
Another video proving the Porsche 911 is THEE Greatest sports car ever made. I speak from experience,once you drive a 911 (of any vintage) EVERYTHING else pales in comparison.The 911 makes you feel like you're part of the machine,not just driving a "car". It's a fighter jet without wings. :-)
this and the carrera gt are the greatest porsche ever for car enthusiasts
"I'm not going to enjoy this..." "THIS IS AWESOME!" WTF Tanner?!
Thanks to TOP GEAR UK, I just can't imagine myself not thinking about cars in a British accent anymore.
actually one of its first somewhat good episodes of top gear america!
Best 997.2 GT2RS review ever!
Does anyone here think that the TopGear USA Stif is... Tanner Foust? hahaha
YOU are wrong. The GT2 RS has no traction control. Plus it has a manual gear box. It's a real muscle car that will eat any of the US counterparts.
finally people are done being ignorant about top gear us and actually enjoy a clip...
The best video ever made about any car!!! With my favorite 🤩 car ever!!! Porsche GTRS2
Instead of ranting on about how great the Top Gear U.K version is better or not.. I'm going to say that is an amazing looking car. So simple & clean.. nothing too fancy but you know it's not just an ordinary Porsche.. and the performance is awesome.
The "death by firearm rate" in America dropped 20% in the last 5 years.
They took an awsome car and made an OKAY video real Top Gear would make this video UNBELIEVABLE.
Best American Top Gear episode ever!!!
It is awesome seeing how natural Tanner's starting to become when it comes to reviewing cars. He might actually have a pretty bright feature in this media. I have to say the other two guys just don't cut it. A comediant not many people have heard of (and I still find it hard to believe he's a comediant - Tanner's funnier than him just being himself), and another comediant that NOBODY has ever heard of.
Dont u Know that? Ferdinant Porsche had a word. " Never put the engine to back. Never. Ever."
Once again Top Gear USA surprises me with an actually decent episode.
best TopGear USA episode ever
That nova sounded like it was eating a train lol
I liked when UK Top gear raced in the Las Vegas drag strip. Shows the difference between exotic cars and those with the hot rod spirit.
I don't normally like TopGearUS but I like this segment!
this video is PERFECTLY editted
This is my favorite porsche ever, i think its cooler than the modern versions because its bot as showy but still means business
Tanner's charisma, now THAT is second to none.
this segment is best TG USA had done so far.
Having law enforcement shut down roads for you so you can experience the Porsche beast AND do donuts in the middle of the street wouldn't suck..
You know what I find hard to believe? A top gear USA episode that has more thumbs up than thumbs down.
Give your brain a chance, he was simply stating that Porsche was the first, and still is the most practical reliable super car
Don't be ignorant. Those cars were miss handled off the line by the drivers flooring the cars. At the drag strip there are a number of cars without launch control that do exceptional launches. The launches were sloppy. Launch control is just starting of the race with an optimized RPM which can be achieved by proper amounts of throttle with you foot on the gas peddle. The American cars were launched sloppy. I am not an American, I just have common sense and unbiased.
I love Top Gear USA as they really go out of their way to make the show as good as the Original and even if the presenters don't have the same chemistry as the UK trio, they are still three guys that love cars and thats whats most important.
The population of the United Kingdom is just over 62 million. Top Gear UK has over 300 million viewers. Your statement isn't even remotely accurate. Stop comparing a show that has 19 seasons to one that has 3. It's getting there.
I think TopGear USA is improving. We cannot compare USA between UK version. UK TopGear is a comedy car show where the trio go pissed off the world as part of the humor. In USA where everybody is kicking arses with law and bullets, its good to have a car show without offending others. I do enjoy TopGear UK n USA now. Good job to TopGear !
I come from Germany Stuttgart and i work in the Porsche factory and I love this car too :D
As Able said, this is the real Top Gear as its made by BBC America just like the Australian version is done by BBC Australia. They are legitimate shows just more aimed at the countries they come from.
I want one of this to do a coast to coast, it is simply the perfection. I love Porsche.
Thank you. I am so sick of this new idea that it's "cool" to trash talk anything American. TG USA is a good show and it was designed to cater to Americans and American cars, etc. Stop trying to compare a show about American cars to a show about British cars! The shows are designed for two completely different audiences!
Finally something acceptable from TG USA
I have a 996 911 2004 turbo & had it remapped with uprated recirc valves. It goes so fast in misty & cool weather boost can go to 1.2 and stay there. In hot weather 0.9 is the best I can manage. Turbos are temperamental creatures but Porsche have a great system that lag is not a problem. I would rather keep my AWD though as it has got me out of trouble many times where my talent has not been as good as the car lol. A GT2 is a monster that needs careful respect. 500 only. Yeah right ! I
I remember that night...i was taking my dog to the vet for surgery with my datsun and suddenly the road was closed.I asked an officer whats going on and he said that some crazy ppl drug racing and they had to shut down the traffic. My dog died..
They close LA street to show off a car who is already sold out. like a boss.
I usually hate the TopGear USA episodes, but this was AMAZING, really good job!
Oh shit my bad GT2, not AWD but still even RWD Porsches launch beautifully
The thing is viper and nova just have rediclious power to the point where the tires spin if you floor it right away. both the viper and the nova slid side to side when they took off as if with no traction control. Besides germans have always been good with their math and power to weight ratios
If i meet one of those cars in a parking lot some day - im gonna steal the sticker ;)
the porsche is real german craftmanship. it sure won
and the nove and viper didnt know who they were racing. tanner foust is a legend in my book
They did choose him. He was in the original pilot for NBC, but didn't pick it up. When the History channel gave it a shot; he was busy with a pilot for a TV show(that didn't pick up). Then the History Channel chose Rutledge Wood to replace him. I learned this watching a video of Adam interviewing Rutledge at the Long Beach Celebrity Grand Prix.
If Tanner went to the UK and asked the police to close down the roads, they'd reply "nah mate"
Dominic Toretto in a Charger will make that Porsche eat dust!!
TG USA needs the following new hosts: 1. Matt Farrah 2. Chris Harris 3. Derek D
The best of the American version of Top Gear!
Seriously? A 1960s 500hp muscle car against a 620hp porsche that barely weighs anything.. What were they thinking?
That's true.. The balance of the Porsche and its ability to put power to the ground gives it an advantage. I just thought that it was an unfair comparison the way the cars were treated of the line.
