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
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 !
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.
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!
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.
Triple259772 If you get permits, you can do anything. And is it YOUR private parking lot? Do you have permission to be there? If the answer is no to either of those, then yes, you are a disturbance.
I'm too young right now to go to college, but when I do im going to work hard for a good job, my dream is to collect cars and have a 1 mile stage strip on my property :) and race my own cars in my "backyard"
DAMMMMM.....What a BEAST, this is why I love Porsche cars & why I'm never getting rid of my 911 ( mines not a 997 GT2 RS though :( Best Porsche clip on you tube so far for 2015 !
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.
Martin Taber Propably a 2500hp chevy truck would smoke a 599 gtb on 1/4mile drag race but who cares.Nothing it's like a handbuilt naturally aspirated ferrari engine and it looks so beautifull.You must be really in love to these cars to prefer them.
Guy Fawkes hahaha I want to see a stock cadillac beating a 599 in the quarter mile hahahaha sounds too funny its imposible. maybe if the ferrari catch fire but that is another history
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
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.
two different types of cars, lambo make cars for posers, as much as posers own 911's, they still engineered to be great drivers cars like ferraris but lambo is for posers, I'm not saying I would say to no to a lambo helllll noo
oh lambo's are for posers ? how so. Look at you, you idiot fan-boy saying Lamborghini is for posers. Oh and people who say Lambo instead of Lamborghini are posers.
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
Daniel Gomes the new gt2 just set the record on the nurburgring. I agree that the likes of lamborghini and ferrari are for posers. Porsche is more a car for the driver.
and what Porsche and GTR good at is letting u enjoy there advantage without getting a ticket, which is accelerate from 0-speed limit quicker than other competitors, who care rolling start in front of police
+Alex Zevallos no they aren't the same. They are both owned by the BBC, but there is no way that anyone works on two big shows at the same time. Especially when they are in different continents.
I am fan of the UK Top Gear and I dont like very much USA top gear, but this part was actually quite good, TG USA is definitely improving. Keep it up :).
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.
This car is pretty goddam sweet looking, the color scheme with the gloss red paint job and an anthracite hood(is that anthracite, whatever it is it's superb) is gorgeous. Plus I always feel that a Porsche looks like a life sized RC car which makes it the neatest car for my eyes to look at, of course I can't afford one and I have never driven one but the looks of this car are fantastic!
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 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
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.
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. :-)

tanner is a great driver and presenter

Have a Tanner Foust and Chris Harris Olympics.
Personally I think you are a wanker!!!

At the end, I can imagine Tanner yelling "I HAVE THE BEST JOB EVER",
And he'd be right.
“both had the muscle to send the Porsche packing”
Porsche: “Hold my beer”
The most powerful car with the least weight and most advantageous engine placement won. Hardly a surprise.
Having a night with a Porsche GT2 RS with a city all to myself😏
That's the life I want

Krgy1111 or you could just buy an abandoned air field from the WWII era
Well that's the thing, it's private property aka someone else's property
Possibly one of the best videos I've ever seen. Awesome! Thanks, Tanner!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMMMMM.....What a BEAST, this is why I love Porsche cars & why I'm never getting rid of my 911 ( mines not a 997 GT2 RS though :( Best Porsche clip on you tube so far for 2015 !

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
this has more like than current TopGear UK, lol!
😂 because they both kinda blow
When I was a kid this was the single coolest thing ever. This made me absolutely fall in love with this car. Time flies too quick.
l keep hoping that Porsche will make a 991GT2, GT2RS.
they are. comming 2018
aeroman5000 do you know if it will have a manual?
Doubt they will make a gt2, i heard its going to be gt2rs only
Wilmar Alburquerque yes turbo manual rear wheel drive.
Turbo is redundant now because all porsche moving forward will have them.
this is one of the greatest pieces of automotive film ever shot. this singlehandedly made me want a porsche more than anything else i’ve ever seen
While the other two "muscle cars" were doing burnouts trying to get traction, Mr Porsche was a1/4 of the way to the finish line.......love it !
+Beeboy69
the porshe made more power it wasnt fair but it did have better traction
Top Gear USA has just sparked my interest once again.
dream car, dream city
Best 997.2 GT2RS review ever!
Haha those " competitors " make me laught, they should have put a ferrari 599 gtb instead of these outdated american scrap
after you drive the "outdated scrap" yo unever go back. there is nothing more exilerating that a old chevy block, reved up and squeeling.
Martin Taber Propably a 2500hp chevy truck would smoke a 599 gtb on 1/4mile drag race but who cares.Nothing it's like a handbuilt naturally aspirated ferrari engine and it looks so beautifull.You must be really in love to these cars to prefer them.
mariosmatzakanis ye but when you go to corners?
Guy Fawkes hahaha I want to see a stock cadillac beating a 599 in the quarter mile hahahaha sounds too funny its imposible. maybe if the ferrari catch fire but that is another history
Carlitox b sick man lets see that shit turn in corners does that even have a steering wheel?
I usually hate the TopGear USA episodes, but this was AMAZING, really good job!
The Porsche used launch control against two cars that had terrible drivers and no launch control. They should have feathered the throttle.
Simple Maverick I'm not. Porsche wins again
the porsche is manual! so... no launch control!
lazowayne Lots of manual cars have launch control
Simple Maverick pretty sure that the gt2 rs doesnt! 991 models have LC
Lol the Nissan GTR R35 will do that in ANY temp. You lose Porsche.
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
Didn't we already watch this? Oh no that's right...it was on Top Gear. The good one.
Once again Top Gear USA surprises me with an actually decent episode.
Know one really knows how much i am in love with this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best video ever made about any car!!! With my favorite 🤩 car ever!!! Porsche GTRS2
The best Porsche ever
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.
I hope you got paid extra to be driving at midnight... cough cough!
best TopGear USA episode ever
if someone were to give me the keys to one of the cars at the end itd still always be the Nova.
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.
I love how all the top gear uk fans make fun of all of the top gear us shows
Brilliant quality of this video!
American cars are great for burnouts
Best American Top Gear episode ever!!!
The germans,always!
the best review ever on top gear usa!!!
245K ? just go to a Lamborghini then....

actually one of its first somewhat good episodes of top gear america!
American needs big muscles to beat German's small Muscle because the American know their muscle is going to lose
treatb09 Yes I love American style either )
and what Porsche and GTR good at is letting u enjoy there advantage without getting a ticket, which is accelerate from 0-speed limit quicker than other competitors, who care rolling start in front of police
***** too expansive but in physic world, yes it can give u the fun without ticket but GTR and Turbo S have more fun in 0-60
+NISMO N ATTACK 東瀛戰神
rather get the M4 or M6
As a coupe or GT, M4, M6 for sure.
My favourite Top Gear USA clip
you can have the fastest car in the world but you can't beat the sweet sound of american muscle
why have one car?
Austin Buckley because broke lol
get another job
Austin Buckley aight
yeah, who would love the sound of a suffocating engine?
this segment is best TG USA had done so far.
Top Gear America still sucks. The Original Top Gear is STILL BETTER
Except for I can't stand the old cunts on it
+тнe мad ĸιng ツ sure go try saying that now
Rogue Warrior how far did you scroll down to find that comment
After all these years, I just realized that they spelled Porsche wrong in the title
lol yes indeed
Trying way to hard and copying the brits. Ultra lame
Well it's the same British company.
1198GHOSTRIDER You do realize most of their writers are the same right?
+Alex Zevallos no they aren't the same. They are both owned by the BBC, but there is no way that anyone works on two big shows at the same time. Especially when they are in different continents.
Its from bbc boi
A film in true Top Gear spirit!
I don't normally like TopGearUS but I like this segment!
The best of the American version of Top Gear!
I am fan of the UK Top Gear and I dont like very much USA top gear, but this part was actually quite good, TG USA is definitely improving. Keep it up :).
Yes. More of this guy please.
I love that he actually pronounces Porsche correctly.
this video is PERFECTLY editted
this and the carrera gt are the greatest porsche ever for car enthusiasts
top gear USA is stepping it up!
“Some people” shut down a road... Not TopGear 😂
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.
this is the best episode they had
agreed he is the only host on the show that I like when it comes to Top Gear America
I want one of this to do a coast to coast, it is simply the perfection. I love Porsche.
well for all the top gear usa bashing. This little clip was quite enjoyable,
They took an awsome car and made an OKAY video real Top Gear would make this video UNBELIEVABLE.
I did the same thing to a Viper weeks ago in my Jeep. I'd love to try racing that Porsche it's beautiful!
Coming from a proud and patriotic American... Top Gear UK is the ONLY Top Gear.
4:30
I love that angle. It just looks so right

Yep I missed that, GT2 forgot not AWD but still launches crazy good. Very impressive vehicles.
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.
finally people are done being ignorant about top gear us and actually enjoy a clip...
Now THAT was a good video.
Wow I actually enjoyed this Top Gear USA clip. If only they kept it like this.
That was AWESOME!
This car is pretty goddam sweet looking, the color scheme with the gloss red paint job and an anthracite hood(is that anthracite, whatever it is it's superb) is gorgeous.
Plus I always feel that a Porsche looks like a life sized RC car which makes it the neatest car for my eyes to look at, of course I can't afford one and I have never driven one but the looks of this car are fantastic!
He said that he wanted to drive the car in a cold place so as to feel the real horse power. Hahahaha. I'm still laughing :-D
I wish they had kept the format from series 1 or 2. This was definetly one of their best seasons.
Finally something acceptable from TG USA
Make your own Channel.
Top Gear UK is the real one!
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.
i admit that was a good topgear usa video
I think the perception of speed in the city with the close buildings rather than open desert would help to make it feel more beast like
That porsche owned those cars in the end! :D
Yea, so I had to watch this a second time to remember that I watched it already. It really made an impact...
a good topgear USA episode????? this i like...
TopGear US needs Chris Harris to host it.
You know what I find hard to believe?
A top gear USA episode that has more thumbs up than thumbs down.
Top Gear is getting us ready for Fast and Furious 6! :D
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
Thanks to TOP GEAR UK, I just can't imagine myself not thinking about cars in a British accent anymore.
the porsche is real german craftmanship. it sure won
That's Magnus Walker's stomping grounds!
That is the ultimate car in my mind there is no better. I love that car so much. Man is that fast
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.
This is my favorite porsche ever, i think its cooler than the modern versions because its bot as showy but still means business
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. :-)

I come from Germany Stuttgart and i work in the Porsche factory and I love this car too :D
