- The boys are in Euro crisis hit Spain to test three new "budget supercars" Clarkson selects a bright yellow ₤195,000 McLaren MP4-12C Spider, Hammond takes a red ₤198,000 Ferrari 458 Spider, and May chooses a gray ₤121,000 Audi R8 V10 Spyder. Searching for a place to test the top speeds of their cars, they chance across the disused Ciudad Real Central Airport. Clarkson's MP4 reaches 198 mph (319 km/h), besting the 458's 193 mph (311 km/h) and the R8's 186 mph (299 km/h). But the real test of any supercar, as James May devises, is; who can get the finish line first and secure the car's roof from convertible to hard top.

become the producer and dont annoy him
Grand Tour is probably better than top gear would've been even if they continued. Annoyingly it's an Amazon exclusive and everyone doesn't have access to it
Meh, it actually worked out better this way.

Im watching it in tv right now but why ist the Airport so empty ?!
It was abandoned in 2011 because of low traffic. Even though I don't know how it was so clean after 2 years.
The airport was not in use but they still maintained and cleaned it because there were plans on reselling it, if I remember right to a chinese airline who wanted to use it as a hub for air-transport.
Selling is much harder if the airport is just a ruin due to bad maintenance.
Classic German
Dani van den Engel that was so funny
3 old teenagers
this is one of the best episodes by top gear
1000th like haha!😂😎
No, they inspired by 'Last of the summer wine' tv show.
If you want to see them acting more like teens, watch the hot hatchbacks episode
Aren't we all . . . ?
James is a true pilot. Using all the runway and calling out the buffeting is taught early in training. He's at home at an airport
May I ask why they're taught to call "buffeting"?
@@fishingfan1500 when the plane starts to buffet through the air, the planes wings are about to lose lift and stall. A stall is when the plane is no longer flying because the air flow over the wings is disturbed due to the wings exceeding the critical angle of attack. The buffet is called so you recognize that a stall is imminent and you can take corrective action by lowering the angle of attack. At a check ride for a pilots license you will have to demonstrate this and know when the plane is in an imminent stall. Watch a video from a flight instructor on power on and power off stalls. There's a lot to this.
@@michael9016 thank you mate, that explains a lot. 👍🏻
@@michael9016 im not the one that asked the original question but thank you for such an in depth and informative answer

This generation of Top Gear will always and forever be one of the all-time greats.
I totally agree. The new Top Gear isn't very nice to watch
They were the original trilogy. Everything else is just Jar Jar and Kathleen Kennedy
Are you seriously implying that the other generations might have been greats as well? They've all been shit.
@@Dickie6990 When I say all-time greats, I mean in the realm of television as a whole. If it’s not Clarkson, Hammond and May, then to me it’s not Top Gear.
Yeah because they are good and having fun and sharing joy with audience unlike most modern TV, where they suck, are faking happiness and lecturing me about what horrible person i am for not being fake like them
RIP Top Gear 2002-2015.
Yup... Top gear will never be the same

***** No thats the old Top Gear.....
Oh god Jeremy...why did you punch that producer...
Absy Yamy having worked with different producers in the field, most do deserve a punching lol
But I do get your point, had that punch not been flung, good old Top Gear would still be here. Although the Grand Tour is still good fun :)
I remember there was one producer that he did get along with, too bad the last one was annoying to him
He was very drunk and wanted some steak it's understandable
@@tumultuoustenets1228 grand tour dude. Just watch that.
Top Gear had been going down hill anyways. Everything was so forced and boring. Fake explosions and obviously planned jokes. Was pretty boring to watch.
The intro of this video always cracks me up. James as Lufthansa is equally hilarious every time.

I love how these goons literally just have fun in every way possible. I never really liked cars. But they're just so funny that I can't not watch. Thank you three for being who you are.
This clip is 5 years old, and the cars are a bit older than that, and only now have these cars started to age a tiny bit for me. Class will never become outdated. The interiors of the Ferrari and the Audi are so beautiful.
The 458 is my fav alongside the testarossa

McLaren: 19MPH, 14 Seconds
Audi: 31MPH, 19 Seconds
Ferrari: 0MPH, 16 Seconds
so Hammond was doomed from the beginning
Hamster stood no chance, eh?
But he was pretty close to catching up to May at the end
Probably because it doesn't rain in Italy as often...
@@user-uq3um5nq7d Hammond could accelerate properly with launch control from a dead stop though.
The Ferrari did it first though so I think it was 13 secs

how bad would it be if they were filming that and suddenly a airliner that had to make an emergency landing came swooping in.
RAVAGERrules It's illegal to land there. That's what the X on the runway means
Calum Cooper you’re telling me in an emergency landing they would be looking out for Xs to check if they can land there
@@EGGNBEENZ You could land there if it was an emergency...it's better than a field or street. You just couldn't land there if you didn't have an emergency.
@@josephkrol8330 Um... which is why he said an EMERGENCY landing...
@@josephkrol8330 I imagine they'd have to warn them they're making an emergency landing first, so they'd have ample time to get off, but yeah I agree with you, X or no X, an emergency landing is an emergency landing.

This is literally the GREATEST episode of Top Gear EVER! i could watch it OVER and OVER and OVER.
Which episode was this
@@kesin3920 i honestly dont remember what season and episode, but its "budget" supercars in Spain. Specifically theyre in spain at a time when Spains unemployment was disastorously high and at one point they literally walk into an empty house and stay there instead of a hotel. The whole episode is a dream because who wouldnt want a Beautiful EMPTY country like Spain to drive GORGEOUS cars around.
0:09 best 😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:54 that is an awesome view..
I can't wait the Grand Tour !
Me toooo!!! :-)
+Patrick Montgomery You can only watch it on Amazon Prime
Tactical Arabian oh thanks but amazon prime membership is rly expensive

that's funny?

top gear = Clarkson, Hammond & May .
The Spanish guy was so enthusiastic
Apparently the airport owners still have to pay someone once a year to come along and respray the X's along the runway, so that no one lands there. It costs the operators some insane amount per day for each day that airport isn't being used. It was put up for auction last year with a starting bid of 100 million euro. That's 1/10th the original value of the cost to make it.
Why would it cost them money if it's not being used ?!...hire some guy with a mop...done.
Because the airport is kept open.. that means lights, water, amenities, etc. Who knows why it's kept open if no one is using it, but that's what's happening.
Otherwise the government wil demolish the airport, and it cant be sold
*****
Apparently lack of business, GFC hit these guys hard. They built the airport around the business of a semi-major carrier called Pyrenees Airways or something similar which would do ski-season flights. That airline folded and now the minor carriers can't afford to prop up the airport themselves so it went under the hammer last year. There's vid's on it, look up Ciudad Real airport.
What those stag mean? And was that sarcasm?
“I’m always nervous when he’s driving in a straight line” 😂
That Nein! was rather credible! ;)
James speaks German
"Hello"
"Awe Lufthanser, i'm sorry, the gate's closed"
"Well, can't you just open it?"
"Nein" *smirks*

Hahahahaha
I watch this and instantly feel 9 years old again. I think only Top Gear can do that perfectly sometimes.
1:40, slight dig at hammonds crash when he drove the dragracer...
123toxicthug123 they always nervous because of the crash
5:44 I love the look of Hammond's face when he is trying to think :D
I live in America. I'm only 11 but I absolutely love cars! I record every one of your episodes on BBC which is way better than the American Top Gear. You guys are just naturally funny! Just letting you know that you guys make me go to bed with a smile on my face.
U r awesome! (& go Sox!) my dads my ChiTown! wooo! lol i recorded TG from the start when I was little too
Ya 18 now mate
Yr now 19 ,how's your passion on cars???
@@perfectpitch2506 hes into pussies by now
Mate is 20 now what you drive now?
Ze gate is closed - can you open it? - NEIN!
lol xD
1:49 looks like the 458 almost stalled when launching it
It's the TC
It did
That "I'll be Lufthansa " always gets me 😁
Cute how Hammond gets so happy when he makes Jeremy laugh
For reference,
Ferrari 458: 193.0 mph = 310.60 km/h
Audi R8 V10: 186.4 mph = 300.00 km/h
Mclaren MP4-12C : 198 mph = 318.65 km/h
Why call james captain slow when he maxed a bugatti veyron
He got close, but no he didnt. He even said he didnt.
They called him that LONG before he did that lol.
The VW test driver took it out straight after and got an extra 8.4mph so James never really maxed it...
Extreme Tutorials
He maxed Bugatti, but later the professional driver of Bugatti beat May's speed.
Really? i never knoticed....
Clarkson: "I can't do manual labor."
A few years later:
Clarkson's farm
I love how they play around the abandoned terminal like kids
My dream is to go running and fooling around in an abandoned airport like these three
William Shakespeare I meant the entire rolling around on wheely chairs, and faking being air port attendants/security, but driving around would also be epic too
My pick would be the Honda Jazz, primarily because it’s the car that I’ve had for the last 17 years and that is the car I’d feel most comfortable with driving
But if I had to choose one based off how fast it would go, I’d choose the MP4-12C spider
Must have been a pirelli wheel on clarksons chair.
you just made my day :)
William Shakespeare because you died years ago mate
This was one of the best segments ever
Richard as he opens the massive gate, "It's okay. I got it."
Meanwhile, Jeremy patiently waits, "You know I can't do manual labor."
The fact that the R8 is nearly £80'000 pounds cheaper than the other cars is quite impressive.
The race results depicted the depreciation rates of the cars quite accurately 😅
It's funny that they knew exactly how fast they could go while putting their roofs up
It's like Mclaren thought that somebody at a point in time would do such a race haha
NO WAAAAY, i remember years ago, in the spanish news tv they said that there were illegal racing in that airport, and now i know that were they
Really ?? :D
Race in a bankrupted airport lolzzz
They would have had full permission for this
+Fraser Hughes well... it's spain, and this airport was abandonated until last year, so it could be posible
They would not have been racing illegally... How do you think they got into the airport? There were people there...
it was literally abandoned until last year, when it landed the first plane, after having been closed during a lot of years because no airline wanted to send planes to that city, and it was a part of a corruption plot, and the media reported that no one was guarding the infrastructure .
I love the sound of the Audi at 3:09
That’s the Lamborghini V10 for ya.
Those aerial shots are really amazing
Hammond: I know what he's saying now: ,,Bufferting''. May: ,,Bufferting'' xD
Modern speedos are frighteningly accurate.
Jeremy knows swimwear.
You have to love these guys how do they come up with these races LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was good
You can see they have acual fun and that makes this series so great its such a powrrful bond
You can't close the roof on the Ferrari while moving? That blows...
yes you can, do not know why they did not close
Caio .tk I'm guessing you haven't seen the intro for the 2009 Star Trek reboot.
My favorite top gear episode of all time.
This is fun, that is what this is. I love Top Gear with these three. The new top Gear with the other crew, just doesn't have it. Thanks for posting this.
The look on Jeremy's face is the utter terror of a child who realises they've broken their dad's new hi-fi that they weren't supposed to touch. It's glorious.
Once the roof came into play I think Hammond knew even James’s car would wipe the floor with the Ferrari.
I love the idea of the roof race.
Sums up Britain history in those few seconds @1:06 😂
Wilmar Alburquerque look at that its ours?
Wilmar Alburquerque ???
That was good. WOW. Good observation lol."Look at that. It's ours"

This humour and self-irony is just such a spectacular and distinct feature of the British. Amusing video in every aspect :D
He guys! Over here in Germany we have a huge playground for you, if you like. The socalled Hauptstadtflughafen, our new airport in Berlin could be yours. It is huge, brand new and completely unused. 4000 m × 60 m concrete or 3600 m × 45 m tarmac if you like that more. Why should the damn thing decay unused. Everybody likes TG and your humour best, we don't have something comparable. Come over, enjoy!
We'd also sponsor you some new shirts, May and Clarkson. It wouldn't make a difference anymore, after the amount of cash, we spent for the airport.
LCdrDerrick
True words
Ok so Spain is not the only place where corrupt politicians built airports that will be completely unused. People making fun of this and they have their corruption issues as well.
It's not a corruption thing.
It's planning incompetence. The ventilation system is not up to par and would be unalbe to ensure breathable air inside the terminals in an event of fire. Also the fire extinguisher system is improperly planned. Will not suffice either.
Until they fix this, the Airport cannot be used
Germans have a airport called Helloupstairsfairhaven.
For all the people saying the GTR will eat them all, just so you know. The 911 Turbo S ate a Nismo in Motortrend
Yeah, screw the GT-R fanboys!

Over-The-Shoulder Boulder Holder I didn't choose my name because I'm a particular fan of that car. I was simply after any distinctive car name, and that was the first that sprang to mind because I had just watched the episode of Top Gear in which the Zonda was reviewed.
Leon DaLion yeah GTR fansboys are the worst.. even maybe they dont have the car.. just some stupid kids that play Gran Turismo and watching F&F
Leon DaLion The GT-R will beat them in a sprint to 60mph.
Beyond that, it can't keep up, except the Nismo variant.
This is the pinnacle of Top Speed
I really liked the roof race! Out of the box idea!
1:33 Last time he does that, he crash inside a jet dragster.
that's was the most awesome drag race I ever seen! I hope you do more of these drag races with convertible cars.
Oh my friend how sad this comment is now 😢
That roof race was more exciting than the entire new top gear series combined......bloody hell loved it!!!
