Yeah but you know I picked one up with just under 100K miles on it 7 years ago put 30K miles on it and have replaced nothing but one ignition coil, oil and filters.
@@raymondsouza7097 sorry I should have said 20K miles.. because I did 30K kilometres. But yeah.. that’s it unless you want to add struts for the rear hatch
Muscle memory does weird things sometimes, and at least he intended to go for the breaks lol There have been a few times where Im driving an automatic and I go to push the clutch in and end up just slamming on the breaks instead lol Making everybody around me, including myself, urinate themselves.
I am quite sure its saying asato ma sadgamayo,tamso ma jyotirgomayo,mrittyorma amritamgamayo,its a hindu religious sayijg,that means elevate me from this and that...
Ironically, 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo only makes 29 more hp than the old Turbo S tested here but has has a full 1.5 second faster 0-60 time (3.6 vs 5.2). It all comes down to the weight. The current one is a bit more than 400 lbs lighter.
LIES! The ugliest 4x4 ever made is the Nissian Murano convertible! If you don't know what it looks like, consider yourself extremely lucky. Some things you simply cannot un-see.
The camera work/editing (especially the airborne drop shots) in this is just incredible. Add in some epic 'Uruk Hai/Treebeard getting pissed off' soundtrack and you've made an all time classic. The fact that Hammond crashed the Porsche into one of the camera crew's cars on the way back just makes it even funnier
there are 2 sound editors at top gear... the deaf one and the one with awesome taste in music for the record the other music was Amon Tobin (3 times) Aphex Twin Rob Dougan
Funny how back then every journalist said how ugly it is, fast forward to 2022 and the last decade and the Cayenne has been copied over and over and over and well you get the point! Hammond and Clarkson should now review this again now these are almost 20 years old... They're still fantastic!
@macnerd93 Top Gear did a review on car safety, which concluded that the faster the car, the more likely it is to avoid a crash thanks to its lower center of gravity and better brakes. 4x4's are the least likely to avoid a crash because evasive actions can lead to a roll-over and they require significantly more braking distance. 4x4's are therefore more likely to be involved in accidents, but very good at dealing with them once they happen. It's a catch 22.
How do they get them races so close. It looked as if Hammond was going to crash into the Parachutist for a moment then. I love the races between Clarkson, Hammond and May.
Absolutely right! I used to work in a photo laboratory and I ve seen pictures of a 4x4 club somewhere out in the mountains of Greece. Well, while other of road vehicles were passing a shallow river, the Porsche was stuck! I couldnt believe it! If I had the money to buy a good SUV I would definately go either for a Rover or Toyota.
I just can't believe this guys didn't show the aftermath damage on the Cayenne. Also, that's a fact RenegadePast, he might have rendered the Red Devil into a bloody corpse.
Great episode, and true the music is from Lord of the Rings, and I think all these little competitions make it interesting, it adds more than just, oh lets run this car on this track.
It's funny how hammond is always behind the wheel against an airborne opponent and always is beaten at the last second. Remember Bugatti Veyron against the Euro Fighter, and Porsche Boxster against the falling volvo? o_O
@hariel, that's the instrumental version of "Born Yesterday", from "Furious Angels" by Rob Dougan. You may remember him from such soundtracks as The Matrix and the Law and Order theme tunes.
Jesus, this segment steals music from just about everything....Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, World of Warcraft...and a few others that sounded familiar but I can't quite place.
His porshe turbo, 114,000 American... My wrx, 25,000 american... Same seating capacity, better winter traction in my wrx, and 0.2 seconds faster to 60...
Thats part of the charm! (though its caramel colored, not brown) I am switching mine from the black interior to just this color. A family SUV mostly made for the US market should be caramel colored inside. Preferrably, it should sport some wooden side veneers on the outside as well.
@@lalnablehector1285 I can only assume you have no appreciation for the classic style of the old school. But in any case, the no interior can be arranged, I got one of these for sale once I have cannibalised the interior from it. Cheers.
They always calculate it so that it will be close at the end. They never use a car that'll win easily, or give the challenger something that will make it simple for them either. Kind of like those show races where you have a regular car, a supercar and then like an F1 car in staggered starts and they end within seconds of each other.
Hilarious that you can pick these up for less than price of what the optional extras came too when they were new.
yeah, they are running for around 6000 euro / 7800 usd

If you know a bit about car maintanance you should get one for overlanding 👌
"that sounded expensive"
+Peter Hubbard that sounded like Lord of the Rings lol
6:37 haha, yes I loved it ^^
Hamster was beaten by a flying squirrel.

6:30 he goes for the nonexistent clutch while hard on the brakes. 😂
He is so scared he dump all his feet to that poor brake lever

The Top Gear guys have a history of using epic music routines with their car films... Love it!
Vintage youtube comment right here.
LOTR ,right?
@@ChinmayKashid Yep! LOTR FTW!
Yeah LOTR + the Sanskrit chant from the Matrix revolutions credits
They definately like the Lord of the Rings Music, they play it increadibly often.
Peter Griffin Oh, hey, suddenly Peter Griffin watches top gear... lol
+raroshraj quite.
did anyone else read his comment in the peter Griffin voice?
*definitely
It's LOTR music mixed with Shanti Mantra(asathoma sadgamaya)
*Lord of the Rings intensifies*
whats the song name dude? :)
It's the urak hai theme from the lotr soundtrack when the race starts
Urrukaii!!!!!!
I am quite sure its saying asato ma sadgamayo,tamso ma jyotirgomayo,mrittyorma amritamgamayo,its a hindu religious sayijg,that means elevate me from this and that...
Soham Roy That was different, that was from the Matrix Revolutions. They also mixed in the Uruk Hai theme from LOTR in between.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. THIS SHOW IS PURE GENIUS!!!
its the mix between LotR and Matrix epic soundtrack...

Not really the weight actually, its the more aggressive shifts and launch in the newer gearboxes.
@@GoldenCroc yeah and the newer diffs that are a lot better at distributing power
I can't count how many of those i see everyday.
I know. A bunch of base jumpers falling through the sky constantly in my city too
Jacob Webb they are getting annoying
@@darchandarchan7036 seriously 😞
0:26 oouufff that Splinter Cell instrumental
I love that uruk-hai soundtrack
It's LOTR music mixed with Shanti Mantra(asathoma sadgamaya)
i love the Cayenne, the music was so perfect at the beggining with it⭐️💜
"that sounded expensive!!!" Two feet on the brake pedal!! EPIC! :-D
you've got to love it..
LIES! The ugliest 4x4 ever made is the Nissian Murano convertible!
If you don't know what it looks like, consider yourself extremely lucky.
Some things you simply cannot un-see.
Yep
the nissian was made after this was filmed, so they might not have been lying back then.
i had not seen it...now i have....kill.
***** If there was a nissan juke convertible, That would be the ugliest car ever.
Jacob Johnston nope! the ugliest 4x4 of all time = pontiac aztek :D
Just EPIC, it's a shame that this trio isn't part of the show anymore.
The camera work/editing (especially the airborne drop shots) in this is just incredible. Add in some epic 'Uruk Hai/Treebeard getting pissed off' soundtrack and you've made an all time classic.
The fact that Hammond crashed the Porsche into one of the camera crew's cars on the way back just makes it even funnier
I like how they use Amon Tobin in the soundtrack.
The Porsche switches from right-hand drive to left-hand drive at 4:38.
That sounds like an expensive option... especially if Porsche is offering it.
at what point does it become right hand side he stays on left far as i can see??
HAVOC MAD At the beggining
At the beginning i believe he' s driving in the UK(right hand drive), then they go to Cyprus (LHD). Two different cars.
cosmc2079 In Cyprus all cars are rhd
there are 2 sound editors at top gear... the deaf one and the one with awesome taste in music
for the record the other music was
Amon Tobin (3 times)
Aphex Twin
Rob Dougan
I saw this episode back in July
and it NEVER gets old XD
Funny how back then every journalist said how ugly it is, fast forward to 2022 and the last decade and the Cayenne has been copied over and over and over and well you get the point! Hammond and Clarkson should now review this again now these are almost 20 years old... They're still fantastic!
ive never seen richard so....excited and.....determined....and mad
ouch "that sounded expensive" XD
I could only use one word to describe this, brilliant
the first gen Cayenne turbo S still one of the greatest SUV of all time

Hammond is indeed the best off road tester of top gear
imagine being a WRC Driver and doing that in the ford focus your mom drives to walmart! I swear those guys are legends!
The Lord of the Ring's music is too appropriate!
It's LOTR music mixed with Shanti Mantra(asathoma sadgamaya)
Now I imagine Uruk Hai in squirrel suites, thanks Richard
How do they get them races so close. It looked as if Hammond was going to crash into the Parachutist for a moment then. I love the races between Clarkson, Hammond and May.
It's weird how the camera shutter speed matches the rotational speed of the tires exactly so that it looks like the wheels aren't even spinning.
Wow. That is probably one of the best videos I've seen of any car before. That was exciting.
my two favorite things ever LOTR and top gear, great music!
Impressive results with regular on road tires. Imagine if they put off road tires on it.
Absolutely right! I used to work in a photo laboratory and I ve seen pictures of a 4x4 club somewhere out in the mountains of Greece. Well, while other of road vehicles were passing a shallow river, the Porsche was stuck! I couldnt believe it! If I had the money to buy a good SUV I would definately go either for a Rover or Toyota.

Yeah thanks BBC, you're so kind.
He actually crashed this Porsche off camera they show photos later on this episode
Yeah it's crazy. They must have a lot of cameras or they film the same thing alot.
It's just awsome.
"Cliff...? CLIFF! *Baaang!* Ouh, that sounded expencive!"
Haha, makes me laugh :D
i didnt think i was gonna watch the whole thing. but i did. This guys entertaining.
6:40
"Oh, that sounded expensive."
The directors of TopGear know how to make films with awesome effects ^^
"that sounded expensive" lmaooo
4:15 I’ve heard this song used in many TH-cam videos since 2009 and now after all this time I finally know the name Navras by Juno Reactor.
i know, eh! It was strange hearing the Lord of the Rings Rohan theme music.
10/10 for the idea, 20/10 for the music =)
Oh, that sounded expensive ...
Great episode, and true the music is from Lord of the Rings, and I think all these little competitions make it interesting, it adds more than just, oh lets run this car on this track.
All I read is Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Anyone noticed the Splinter Cell Soundtrack?
Right here with ya. It isnt the first time they used it. What level is it being used? Korean missile base?
its originaly aphex twin if im not mistaken
Also the Matrix
its great, and i also like the music.
It's funny how hammond is always behind the wheel against an airborne opponent and always is beaten at the last second. Remember Bugatti Veyron against the Euro Fighter, and Porsche Boxster against the falling volvo? o_O
Rally vs jet powered man?
The Veyron was actually 7 seconds down
that was actually a falling beetle
coolies thanks.
I seem to recall it from a bond movie too?
The eagles.... The eagles are coming.
fabulous
There is no better TV show than Top Gear
The Matrix Soundtrack Juno Reactor Vs. Don Davis Navras
Ha, Hammond vs Red Devil was like Neo vs Agent Smith!
Man Richard was intense on this one! I usually dont hear him getting that shouty lol
I hear The Matrix, I hear Lord of the Rings.
Yes! Wondered if anyone else picked up on that.
I just love Porsche :)
Absoultly amazing. Porsche vs. Skydiver, Hammond out does himself again with this video.
ooh, that sounded expensive !! hahahahahahahahahahahahha
@hariel, that's the instrumental version of "Born Yesterday", from "Furious Angels" by Rob Dougan. You may remember him from such soundtracks as The Matrix and the Law and Order theme tunes.

Haha, an offroad car where offroad tires won't fit!
Epic Music. Epic Race. Epic Video.
LOL my neighbors have 2 of those :P
Man, these were so good
Jesus, this segment steals music from just about everything....Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, World of Warcraft...and a few others that sounded familiar but I can't quite place.
Lol it's not like they have their own orchestra :p
Nice one!
rip stearing wheel
rip eanglish
juno reactor - navras. When in doubt about music on Top Gear, it's usually Juno Reactor, Aphex Twin, or Massive Attack.
0:08 press to forget the 9/11! :S:S:S

whoever designed the interior obviously never let go of the 1970s for the fact of its all brown brown brown its horrible
