For those with an insignificant IQ to comprehend this video, the purpose of this video is to show the absolute truth behind people bloating or bragging about hitting 200mph using some of the world's most notorious sport cars. It gives conclusive evidence about the distance needed and power to reach 200mph.
Aside from horsepower, wind and weather, length of the strip, frontal area and drag coefficient of the car and luck, he forgot to mention that elevation also plays a big role because horsepower is decreased by about 3% for every thousand feet rise in elevation, and at about 3,000 feet elevation of Mojave, those cars lost already about 9% of their power. According to my calculation using known formulas, the Mercedes with 617 hp is already down to about 561 hp to begin with, and it would need to have about 644 hp at least to achieve 200 mph.
+Chris Perrin will there's obviously something wrong within the engine or could be fuel filler cap not tighten correctly but who knows until it gets checked over
I love how there was something wrong with 3 of the cars. The Lambo's ESP was malfunctioning, the Ferrari had a check engine light on, and the SLR had a malfunctioning tire pressure monitor sensor haha. So expensive and slightly broken lol
A Lamborghini Huracan can tip 200mph in 1.9miles and even the new Bmw M6 can do 200mph in 2.5miles so these guys either didn't have enough runway or they wasn't aggressive enough. If you want to do 200mph you need to be hard on the car keep your foot pressed as hard as possible on the accelerator pedal and never slow down when an engine warning light and always make sure THE CAR HAS PETROL IN IT BEFORE YOU RUB FOR 200MPH!!!
The higher the compression ratio the better the air fuel mixture is going to burn, up to the point where the pressure gets to high and the air fuel mix ignites before the piston reaches top dead centre and the spark plug goes off, higher octane fuels can take higher compression without combusting that is the limitation with a petrol engine. Pumping in more air not only allows you to pump in more fuel, but generates more power from it than a naturally aspirated counterpart.
Try shifting the Ferrari at 8500 RPM instead of 8000. The HP curve/characteristics favor highest RPM shift point so entry to the next gear is also at the highest possible HP. Might have hit 200 if he had done that.
This was very interesting. None of these cars hit their claimed top speed. 3 miles would have been great but about 2 3/4 mile was fair enough.....more than enough distance for a top speed test.
Thats pretty beast if u think about it guys. The freaking lamborgini goes 60 mph within 3.4 seconds and basically all the others like the ferrari go the same
@VulcanTCR because the gallardo is on the tip of breaking it, we dont know if its actualy performance is what it truly is. and i said the cars you chose can do way past 210 with the exception of the viper and m3 gtr....that means that possibly the m3 and viper cnat do past 200
209 mph in a twin turbo 96 GT (770 rwhp - 830 rwtq) on the freeway, threw it in neutral and coasted for 7 miles... that's the fastest I've ever been :)
Funny to watch this now with the monsters that currently exist...just watch for instance Sutcliffe race that Mercedes hot-hatch in a P1 and he gives it a 5 second head start. After the launch he's at 200mph before he knows it, and it's totally stable all the way, calling the numbers almost in 10s all the way.
What amazes me the most is the unprecedented advances in technology from year to year. This video is only 2 years old and now a 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 will go 190+ mph with 662 bph. All for around $55k. I wonder where we'll be in another 3-5 years.
i ask myself how many cars did the drivers crash in their life before they respect the vehicle and its potential. it doesn't take long to realize the same car that can give you the most amazing pleasure can take your life as a toll.
Ferrari 430 Scuderia Vs. Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Vs. Audi R8 V10 GT Vs. Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale... Should be an interesting one.
the heat of the mojave dessert is taking away at least 15% of the cars performance. they should've done this at night when tempeture wasn't close too 100
No wonder the Ferrari and Mercedes are considered kings of the road,even at nearly 200mph they didnt shake much and were running smooth,especially Mercedes as it shook the least.Where as Bentley and Lambo were shaking like they were about to come off.
You're thinking of video games or Kilometers Per Hour (Which it's actually around 354). The fastest anyone's gotten an Aventador going is about 230mph or so.

The "check engine" indicator light is on in the Ferrari. Why would he trust it?
A chevrolet Corvette Zr1 will go from zero to 200mph in just 26 seconds. Which is less than 3 miles
i guess the ZR1 doesnt cost enough.....
Well if they know that it's worth something, they would charge it...
With exception of the Bentley, all three will go 200mph. There just wasn't enough runway.
Notice something.. the ferrari needs gas. Doesnt matter? how about YEAH iT DOES!! less gas means less weight. far less weight.
It does matter.
Ferrarri runs out of gas = Ferrarri no move
I wonder why you have 2 thumbs up for this comment.
All you need is German Autobahn.
+Luka Lazarevic Lagano bi prešli 320km/h.

Bugatti Chiron 0-200 mph in 16 seconds!!!
I've driven cars that go from 0-60 in that time
Plz someone teach this guy about geographical locations........ HTF did he think that Mt.Everest is anywhere near Bahamas
it was a joke... a very bad one.. but a joke..
The Ferrari has the check engine light on and no gas. Interesting.....
+TK421ps might mean thats it needs a refill and you should get the engine checked out, just a thought
+Joel Schub Not sure why the check engine light was on, but less fuel means less weight means faster car!
+Chris Perrin will there's obviously something wrong within the engine or could be fuel filler cap not tighten correctly but who knows until it gets checked over
+Joel Schub The test monitoring equipment caused the CEL as the car's computer didn't like it. It was mentioned.
why not aventador or mercielago
ae blue aventador wasn't even out at the time
lol check engine light on the Ferrari.
I love how there was something wrong with 3 of the cars. The Lambo's ESP was malfunctioning, the Ferrari had a check engine light on, and the SLR had a malfunctioning tire pressure monitor sensor haha. So expensive and slightly broken lol

you make it sound like the driver in the video has no clue what he's doing...this video is 5 years old...those cars weren't out yet
Video is 5 years old calm down
THIS GUY HAS ONE OF THE BEST JOBS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
Short shifting in the Ferrari.
It's crazy how much technology has advanced. 200 mph is almost a no brainer for most high end cars now a days
The Ferrari had a check engine light on and the gas light on, wtf...
"What have we proved?"
That you needed a longer track.
The Agera R will get your job done.
Nic Nice or a big turbo 2jz Supra
I LOVE that you mentioned Burt Rutan in this!!!
That Bentley is so beautiful
This is why I like Motor trend !
who's watching in 2018
Whoever edited this video is great!! I like how they ended the program. Wish all the movies could be like this.
Koeinsegg ccxr or agera R
I like comin from the music vids to these car vids because this car culture is more respected even though some disagreee , we all have love for cars
today 250 is the benchmark instead of 200
Already passed
Try 350+ today in 2020 bud

FERRARI F12 THE BEST CAR OF FERRARI
F12 is the sexiest maybe but the LaFerrari
ras222 what about the 458?? :(
WatsDa411 458
ras222 What's the 1st and 3rd? 😄😃😁
ras222s222 Nahhh I forget about those LaFerrari 1st

Don't mind them. They are Americans. Also, always theatrical...
If you put the Lamborghini Aventador it would get to 200 mph!!!!!!
This was very interesting. None of these cars hit their claimed top speed. 3 miles would have been great but about 2 3/4 mile was fair enough.....more than enough distance for a top speed test.
Hennessey venom can do 220 in a mile
It also has over 1200hp
ugr lambos do 238 mph in the half mile? your point?
oh btw ... the noise of that mclaren is epic!
That's what I am talking about!!! Great video'
the SLR's exhaust note is just amazing!
Thats pretty beast if u think about it guys. The freaking lamborgini goes 60 mph within 3.4 seconds and basically all the others like the ferrari go the same
The vehicle was not built for performance. It was built for the pure pleasure of driving the car.
Right. To clarify, I meant it would keep up with the Merc in straight line speed only. It is absolutely true that it would.
I wish everyone could have as much fun as these guys get paid for having.
*Spoiler alert*
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4: 191.3 mph, 307.9 km/h
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano: 196.3 mph, 315.9 km/h
Bentley Continental Supersports: 186.6 mph, 300.3 km/h
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: 199.1 mph, 320.4 km/h
Ten years later I get this recommended. I remember watching it 10 years ago
imagine a plane taking off when these cars are traveling 200mph =D
@VulcanTCR because the gallardo is on the tip of breaking it, we dont know if its actualy performance is what it truly is. and i said the cars you chose can do way past 210 with the exception of the viper and m3 gtr....that means that possibly the m3 and viper cnat do past 200
I love how the ZR1 tops all of those $200k+ cars lol
No it doesn't lol
@@hayabusaorlovina2761definitely does
That SLR McLaren sounds WICKED!!
They should do a quest for 300 with the SSC Tuatara, Koenigsegg Jesko, Bugatti Chiron, and the Hennessy Venom F5.
Mount Everest is at the Himalayas!!! You are confusing Mt Everest with the Bermuda Triangle...
209 mph in a twin turbo 96 GT (770 rwhp - 830 rwtq) on the freeway, threw it in neutral and coasted for 7 miles... that's the fastest I've ever been :)
I took a big two today. Love that raisin bran cereal.
JEREMY CLARKSON WOULD LOVE THIS VID!
Top seeds in Bentleys, lambos , benzs, Ferraris ! And I'm sitting here thinking hmm I've hit the top speed in a civic :)
@GiveMeABloodyUser: Yep. A 5.4 liter supercharged V8 to be exact. The SLS is a 6.2 liter N/A V8.
If you were paying attention the engine light was caused by the added electronics to measure top speed etc.
thank you for proving once again that the SLR is the best!
Ending was the best, "Unless you get your hands on a Bugatti Veyron."
GOD HIS VOICE IS EPIC WHEN HE IS SAYING THOSE NAMES!
"Mount Everest in the Bahamas" LMAO
the engine is fine, the check engine light comes on in any car when you drive it hard (rev to a high RPM) but it turns off after a little while.
the way he says " THOUSAND " is funny xD at 2:28
WE WANT A DAMNED AGERA IN ONE OF THESE! :D
Bruh how anout Regera?!
+CorpieGamer_MinecraftPE sry about**
On the next Big2 run I would like to see: Lamborghini Aventador, Bugatti Veyron SS, Pagani Zonda F Roadster, Koenigsegg Agera or CCX, and McLaren F1.
Takes off balaclava to cut down weight... This guy is a genius.
Cool Rainbow!
*jumps excitedly* EIIIGHTYYY EEEIIGHT MIIIILEEES PER HOOOUUUUR!

Hopefully you are still alive to see that Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsseg and LaFerrari would easily top 200mph in under 3 miles
And also, E Class AMG, RS6 and M5 are all 200mph beasts
@86123maxxi that's because a Honda S2000 has a V-TEC engine which is very well built and The engine light turns on when u drive fast (a lot)
5:20 duude...pour some gas into that v12 hahahaha
love how the engine management light is up on the ferrari
loving the CEL light on the ferrari .....
5:15
Check engine and fuel light on? lol
Holy color correction, Batman! Look at those lens filters!

Beautiful Ferrari!! :D
Performance aside, the Bentley is just so gorgeous.
They should have tested the Maserati too!!! Just FOr Fun! :D
the heat of the mojave dessert is taking away at least 15% of the cars performance. they should've done this at night when tempeture wasn't close too 100
@randomradicalstuff They generally don't fill the tank when making a speed test. I'm not surprised that it was almost empty
the ferrari was running out of fuel (min 5:30) HAHAHAHAHA
what kibd of fuel were you using? if it was anything less than 100octanes then I understant why it didnt reach the 200
No wonder the Ferrari and Mercedes are considered kings of the road,even at nearly 200mph they didnt shake much and were running smooth,especially Mercedes as it shook the least.Where as Bentley and Lambo were shaking like they were about to come off.
@jskuzma not to mention all the beeping in the interior shots..
Beautiful Ferrari
Check engine light is on in the Ferrari. Maybe you should check that out?
You're thinking of video games or Kilometers Per Hour (Which it's actually around 354). The fastest anyone's gotten an Aventador going is about 230mph or so.
They're racing entry level exotics.
MotorTrend: You need to do a remake of this video for 2013 with the new cars!!!!!
PLEASEEEE!!!!!
with great horsepower, comes great responsibility. :)
....weight does effect top speed... intertia, momentum, friction on tires due to gravity
That SLR, oh my god.
i like how he drives it with the engine check light on in the ferrari
SLR is the sophisticated one :)
Look up Texas Mile. There is Camaros and Ford GTs hitting 240s in one mile
the way he says " THOUSAND " is funny xD
i love how the ferrari had a check engine light on
No, what you is a UGR stage 3 kit for that lp560 and you'll be hitting 250mph in a standing mile.
