Every single video gets a comment like this from someone not realising this is essentially the MAGAZINE'S youtube channel. The magazine has always been like this.
Yep,there are so many videos of a track battles without any battle or lap times on TH-cam, that's just sad, idk what is the point of talking about how fast this car or how great it handles without any results,bc they talking like that about every new car I hope my English is understandable 😅
An M3 is not the same weight. And OEMs gravitate toward sales, sales that are driven by people wanting effortless speed, astronomical power and sublime comfort and composure (not to mention increased safety aspects).
But why? It's a large 4x4. Not a track car. And making it good on track will likely make it poor on crappy pot-holed country roads where it'll be used in the real world.
@@WCHADWICK it's probably a combination of that and cars becoming more refined (ie more sound deadening) so you can't hear the sound that reduced in volume anyway
Here's the thing, you can quote laptimes and 0-60's all you like for performance SUV's but you'll never actually see one driving fast on the public road because they are just too big, too remote, and too heavy. Honestly, the handwheel tells you absolutely nothing about the level of grip available (watch this vid, even on a wide smooth track the Stig has about 3 goes at getting the nose into a turn) so you can i hope appreciate why on a typical public road, with bends, dips, on-comming traffic, mud and leaves on the road and god knows what else, no normal driver actually ever uses the performance because they have no idea about how hard they are, or are not, trying. The reason say an Elise is such a fast car, despite being really rather slow, is because you CAN actually use all of that performance, and you don't have to be carol vorderman to work out that 99% of 200 is more than 25% of 600........
Straight to the point. Never seen an SUV using half of his capabilities while driving down the curvy A7 from Milan to Genoa. Same drivers who overtook you in the straight line at 200++ begin to drive on the right lane and within limits till the tollgate
Quality and finish of the RR looks absolutely superb. In none of the close ups are there any panel mismatches or flex even when subjected to strain in cornering and shocks on the road
RS6 GT doesn't work for me - RS6 is supposed to be relatively understated, looks ridiculous with the livery and the spoiler. That GT treatment should have been done to the RS3, makes even more sense with it having a 5cyl!
I understand. Clarkson Top Gear was broad appeal entertainment. New Top Gear has gone back to its roots of being completely about cars. It’s now and again a show for petrolheads like me so I’m happy, je suis désolé 😊.
Liking fast estates but not SUVs does NOT make you a hypocrite. SUVs are completely wasteful and a marketing shame. Don’t pander to those who say otherwise because they’re just wrong. Estates are basically as practical but weight 20% less. (The new M5 ruins this rule and sucks because of this)
I can hear the Stig's head, "Okay Goose, I feel the need for speed." Carbon fiber rims on a Range Rover are just a waste of money by stupid people... What's the point? It's like a pig in a tutu or an SVJ with offroad tiers. I'd take the Audi, but I'm biased as an S4 owner.
I've watched almost every single RS6 Performance video on TH-cam, but this presenter just irritated me so much that I almost switched this one off. Sorry, but the only way that I could continue was on 1.25x speed, so that he's talking at a pace suitable for an adult, otherwise it's like listening to a pre-school teacher in English class...
Naa. It's like Audi watched what Clarkson did to his S4 in the Grand Tour and without a trace of irony, had a meeting and went 'why didn't we zink of that?'
A bit of a pointless video really. 2 cars out of reach for most, doing something that’s out of reach for most, and not addressing anything of value in the process. I used to enjoy the TG vids as they had a bit of thought put into them. Not this one.
incredible to me that in 2024 a Top Gear presenter doesn't understand WHY that livery is on that car. Google Audi IMSA 90 quattro. LEARN some history before filming next time.
As impressive as it is for doing the big drifts etc, that is not what it’s going to be doing on the school run! It’s just such a waste of engineering. More fool the people that buy them!
Hey top gear there is only one persoon that can make word jokes in a car video... Thats clarkson. There is only one guy that can yob it around corners and that's Chris harris.... Stop this copycat behaviour and be yourself with an authentic test. Not this ... ❌
Practicality or performance? You can only choose one...
both in the RS6
Practicality, performance, capability, fun and head-turning beauty in the RS6.
Beauty and style.
RS6 ofc.
Audi RS6 all day long
Your editor accidentally put “track battle” in the title
Shit just pissed me off lol
@@stefanomarcellino6701 exactly, they didnt even give the times
In the Old Top Gear, boys would do painting competition sitting in the rear seat while being sent in the corners in these beauties.
@@toastrytoaster nah now its 2002 till 2014 thats classic top gear man
Boring comment . Get a grip and move on.
They gave someone a tattoo in the back of a car once lol

Get over it bro, this is actually a top quality review film. Dunno why I've never seen this guy before but he's done a fantastic job here!
I have watched the video but I must have fallen asleep at some point because I missed the “track battle”!

Carbon Wheels on a SUV is insane
8500€ one wheel if you need to replace one
@@n1ggo892when, not if
just look at a curb weird and the carbon cracks
Carbon wheels on any road or race car is insane, even slight damage will mean a replacement wheel.
What a ridiculous world we live in where a BMW M3 is the same weight as a Range Rover and people are complaining that 626hp isn't enough to be 'fast'
Yes I think Alpine realise less weight is more . Shame Lotus forgot that
An M3 is not the same weight. And OEMs gravitate toward sales, sales that are driven by people wanting effortless speed, astronomical power and sublime comfort and composure (not to mention increased safety aspects).
@@timetherington-judge8682 yes but my Alpine is more fun to drive and I don’t look like a crack dealer in an over weight car with a horrible grill
Did you mean m5
@ no
This 6D dynamic suspension in the RRS SV with carbon ceramic brakes and carbon wheels is a crazy combo!😱
Lots of people probably don’t know about this but: The Range Rover Sport is actually one of the first SUV to be developed on the Nurburgring.
But why? It's a large 4x4. Not a track car. And making it good on track will likely make it poor on crappy pot-holed country roads where it'll be used in the real world.
@@benmilesbc nurburgring is exactly that - crappy pot-holed country road. Its a far cry from real racetracks.
@maximborodyuk3773 good point!
@@benmilesbc mate that car was designed to be an suv for track not like the defender which is BEAUTIFUL and is thinked for offroad
@@benmilesbcand even though it can still do offroad but it’s more thinked to perform well at track
"Track battle" with the stig available and no laptimes?
RS6 all day long.
Vw
@@DiaperSNiFFER and your point is?
Great video as always. I think piping in sound has to be one of the saddest evolutions in the automotive industry.
Another 'add to solve a problem that didn't exist 20 years ago'
It’s either that or no noise unfortunately - noise regulations…
@@WCHADWICK it's probably a combination of that and cars becoming more refined (ie more sound deadening) so you can't hear the sound that reduced in volume anyway
@pigeonpoo1823 yes, that certainly plays a part!
@@pigeonpoo1823Also engines becoming more efficient. Sound is literally wasted energy from combustion.
Definitely one of your best uploads yet!
His criticisms of the Range Rover are spot on. 👍

@@francescof8177 They are for going to school and then on the M6 to work... they arent for the A7. I still dont want one though
I mean, the Elise is a sports car, not an SUV. Of course you'd expect it to have better handling than an SUV.
Quality and finish of the RR looks absolutely superb. In none of the close ups are there any panel mismatches or flex even when subjected to strain in cornering and shocks on the road
I have a rule, if it has the words “Sport” and “Utility” in the description, I’m not interested in the slightest.
Why?
The suv hate is ridiculous
@ that’s an opinion, much like mine.
You’re still interested enough to leave a comment to spread hate so…
And yet you have probably never driven/owned one.
@ wrong and wrong
10:58 Some say that he is put into long term storage, which is why his suit has turned yellow. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
That RS6 GT looks awesome in nardo grey colour!.🎉❤
I thought the Stig was dead but no, here he is looking fresh 👌
My wife drives and SVR and let me tell you that 5.0 V8 in that is so much better than that 4.0 V8 the sound is just amazing
How does this test makes sense?
That SV is just epic , not keen on that RS6 though.
RS6 is so good. 🎉🎉
Land Rover got bored of everyone copying THE SUV so now theyre picking a fight with everything else
1:04 some say his new dad likes to stig it with the soccer moms in the back seat.
It's really sad that the TopGear series ended
I really like the RS6 (minus the livery) but I would have the RRS SV all day long. I think it's a stunning looking car with ridiculous performance
It’s the thunderbird man! lol 🤣
Any chance you could migrate these to TV? I really like them.
Is the stig Ollie ?
Ngl I'd have a Cadillac CT5V Blackwing over both of these. Available with a manual gearbox, has over 660bhp, seats 4 and has okay space.
Why even put the RS6 in there? Taking up space for better 2024 cars that were left out
There is literally.... nothing left for the working man.
RS6 GT doesn't work for me - RS6 is supposed to be relatively understated, looks ridiculous with the livery and the spoiler. That GT treatment should have been done to the RS3, makes even more sense with it having a 5cyl!
Ce n'est plus Top Gear, c'est devenu juste des présentation de voitures!😮💨, Clarckson, May et Hammond me manquent ❤
Boring comment. Move on
@V_Dubya j'ai déjà dévelopé, on ne sait plus qui c'est les présentateurs, il n'y a plus de défis...😮💨

@@AlfaSaab il s'agit du magazine Top Gear, pas de l'émission de télévision.
Ce sont deux choses différentes.
Did you notice the chunks of metal dropping from the RR as it was cornering at around 7mins?

LOVE THE WRAP!!!!! So many folks seem to tame and whipped as to not like the wrap. Shame on you. The Range Rover is a barge.
Did I miss something not much of a comparison if you fail to do back to back lap times … ? Track battle ?????
9:52 Even if the car is heavy light weight rims get off weight from most essential rotating object in a car
Bro fighting for his life at the back sit of Range Rover
I love them both, but it's the Rover if forced to choose.
ridiculous prices... 177 grand for an RS6? no wonder the Germans are closing factories.
Don't you dare scrap the Hilux 😡.
I can hear the Stig's head, "Okay Goose, I feel the need for speed."

Surely the SV is very very fast FULL STOP and not just for an SUV.
Audi GT models.. a poor atempt to the successful receipt of BMW M CS models! 😁🤷♂️
That walk tho
I'm taking the range rover any day
What a trainwreck of a review.
Ollie totally agree super estates are much better than sporty SUVs :)
Great video :)
Sorry guys, but these reviews seem to be getting more desperate. The content is just what it used to be.
Why did Audi just take the saloon A6 and make it a RS6 GT? That would make sense 🤔
10:18 You sound like you’re hating on the range for reducing its unsprung mass. The same thing you’d praise a conventional sports car for.
And the track times? o,O
Why does Ollie walk so weird
It’s the cancer from reading comments like yours..
0:05 Same here!!
Zero track battle. Click bait. No time set.
I'm only here for the Audi.

Other than looks (subjective), why would someone opt to pay more for a RR Sport SV than an X5M?
Marque/badge preference?
Bmw M5cs engine inside that range rover 😮😮😮😮😮
That SV was on 3 wheels around the corner
Why is he doing a Tiff Needell impression?
Audi forever ❤😍🦎🦎🦎💣💥💪😎
Intersting, but… a bit boring?
The normal RS6 is a gorgeous car, but this GT is just pornographic.
Naa. It's like Audi watched what Clarkson did to his S4 in the Grand Tour and without a trace of irony, had a meeting and went 'why didn't we zink of that?'
Like why are y'all even comparing. I convinced yall bored
The RS6 looks like a poor copy of Matt Armstrong's version
RS6 forever!! No doubt.
That rs6 gt was tested and is actually 638hp and 876Nm😢
That Audi is so beautiful
Ollie you look like Sean Hayes
fastest thing on the Audi is the exhaust
Sad they are still using the Stig .
Was great in the day for the real TG .............now just a bit sad
who won?
Bots assemble
I got no interest in SUVs
*sees Range Rover Sport, Toyota Land Cruiser and Mitsubishi Outlander* Although…
I would have any SUV over an estate car.
Bet you drive a Nissan Qashqai.
No never suv
@@pes6616 nope, Jaguar f-pace HSE. One of the best cars I have ever owned.

The main reason to get an SUV is ground clearance and towing capacity. And yes, some people actually need both depending on their drives…
