Audi Group B Rally Car vs THE STIG | TG Tunnel Run
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Stig’s secret subterranean lair is the perfect place to make a lot of noise with a lot of noisy cars. Welcome to Top Gear Tunnel Run.
In the first of a new series, our tame racing driver welcomes not just rallying royalty, but the king of the Quattros - the Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2.
Built in 1985, the E2 was the last of Audi’s Group B rally cars, and also the most ferocious. With fruity fuelling, a bucket-sized turbo and five cylinders, it also makes an orchestra’s worth of glorious, loud noises.
Join The Stig, and host Becky Evans, to hear just how loud this unhinged rally car can be…
Car: Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2
Engine: 2.1-litre turbocharged 5-cyl
Power: 550bhp
Price: Priceless
Top speed: N/A
Noise: 126.6dB
Top Gear Tunnel Run is sponsored by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority

Headphones on for this one 🎧 Stay tuned for a 360° video of the Quattro’s tunnel run…
Something is wrong with sound. When she wispered to left ear of figurine the sound is played in my right ear.
@@Grubik Are your headphones the wrong way around :D
@@Grubik I suspect its so that the less audio nerdy people don't say what you said but the opposite, as they would have seen her whispering on the right and expected it to come out of your right headphone speaker. note that in the car itself the audio was 'correct' but again - well done on spotting it because I suspect 90% of people then wouldn't!
I’m just here for the Audi….😀
Thank you Top Gear give whoever's idea this was a raise!
Now I need a cigarette...
Pls bring the Lexus LFA
Or alonsos championship winning Renault
Montoya's FW26! 19.000RPM baby lets goooooooooooo
Mazda 787B might break the tunnel 😂
Came to comment this. The LFA race car is the best sounding car ever made. 😁
@@JohnDemetre787B: revs
everyone in a 10km radius of the tunnel goes deaf.
This has to be the best idea anyone’s had at the top gear studio in years!
Yup, and Becky is nailing the right enthusiasm as host.
I can’t shake the thought that this could be the best car “segment” on this platform?
As well someone developed the tunnel just in time then.
Damn they finally got it right!
@@PiDsPagePrototypesmaybe, but Top Gear stopped being Top Gear when Clarkson, May, and Hammond left.
Oh man that turbo sounds amazing. Sounds like a bird chirping at every shift
Someone feed those “birds”, they are hungry.
If only I could get that out of my audi a4, lol
I heard this car in real life. My head still tingles when I talk about it.
Have a listen to the Audi 90 imsa GTO. That was much more brutal
Top Gear woke up and said "Let's make some noise." And they did well. God I love this channel
😘
Even without the original trio, you guys keep making epic videos and the best car content available. But you already know that ;)
Ain’t that the truth.
I'm surprised Hot Wheels hasn't made a casting of this yet
Now we need Tunnel Run 2 with LFA, Carrera GT, Williams FW14B, Renault R26, Murcielago SV, McLaren F1, McLaren Solus, GMA T.50, Ariel Atom 300, Lotus 72D, Rolls Royce "The Beast", Ferrari 458 Speciale, Pagani Huayra R, Pagani Zonda C12 F Clubsport 7.3, and Mazda 787B!
787B, F2004, Ferrari 412 T2, GT40, LFA, '18 911 RSR, R34, AMG GT3, Zonda R... I would love to see any of these run in that tunnel at some point. My ears hunger for those sounds 🤤
Mc12 Corsa, FXX and CGT missing your list buddy.
Good news, one of the cars they run has the same engine as the Zonda. So we are getting 12cly of screaming Mercedes insanity.
@@konaboy9677just needs a JUDD V8
and for a good measure a 90s Honda Civic
;D
Gordon Murray's GMA T.50
All I have to say is...
This is THE greatest idea for a car series EVER!
1985. Weston Park, Telford, England.
I was 15 and experienced Group B in the RAC Rally.
That day has been etched into my brain for nearly 40 years.
u lucky guy
I feel you, group B was the reason I got into cars as a kid being born late 70’s meant I got to go and watch these loony wagons with my older brother and dad. The feeling, let alone the noise when one passed you was almost unexplainable. My dad was a Ford man, my brother was Peugeot and Audi and I still have a thing for the Renault 5 turbo and metro 6r4 to this day.
@efro4812 . An age of excellence we'll never get back. F1 rule book was thin. Rally drivers were heroes and we drove cars you had to learn to maintain.
my uncle used to buy and sell these cars around 1985 times I was only 4 but I remember and man I loved the shape I'm an audi man real cars
You dont know how Jealous I am.
You probably saw my dream car in its prime
Made an almost 50 year old fire up his sim rig for the first time in more than a year. I just couldn't because i am grieving but it is time to have some fun. Thanks 😊
God bless you!
@@Retheraq you to dear friend 😄
Keep going, one brother to another.
@@mysterygti thank you young man
Stay strong bro 👊🏻
Thanks TG for taking the sound so serious. With a good set of headphones, that was absolutely amazing.
Can’t wait for the rest of the series.
The trouble is --> you dedicate 100% of your hearing to it and suddenly... she starts talking again ... 😅
This is art
It absolutely is 😊
Michelle Mouton conquered Pike's Peak in the Quattro 2 years before Rohl and smashed the previous record, give her the respect she deserves!
He is written Röhrl. Give the man the respect he deserves by writing his name correct at least
@@MaxWeninger I knew I missed an R somewhere but I was in a rush
@@MaxWeninger Give the English language the respect it deserves by writing it correctly at least.
@@dampaul13 to be fair it's not an English word lol
@@billbob213 To be fair, I was commenting on an English word and poor spelling.
I was getting sick of every youtube channel having cars just going in straight lines, but this is just perfection 😍😍 thank you top gear thank you ❤️
This is what TG should ALWAYS be!
Great idea for a video series! Two cars that absolutely need to run through this tunnel: 2018 Porsche 911 RSR and the legendary Mazda 787B
787b… I don’t know if I’d want to be too close to that in an enclosed space… Dorito symphony for the soul, yes; but flat out assault and battery to the local eardrum
I'm with you on those two as I think that the 787B is the best sounding machine, let alone car ever made, but I wouldn't be too mad if they also threw in an LFA
I know they didn't, but I'd love to hear a Cerbera Speed 12 shaking that tunnel apart
You better have very good insurance if you try to run 787b in tunnel. In tunnel, any drivers will be lucky to leave with permanent hearing losses
I was thinking of the Mazda too. And maybe a FIA GT-spec Lister Storm.
This show is gonna drive up the cost of of old NA S600s when that episode airs. Its a well kept secret that car with equal length headers is F1 heaven!
👀
It’s never going to ‘air’. This is the TH-cam channel of Top Gear magazine. It’s not a broadcast programme.
@@AtheistOrphan This is the first video of a series so they obviously mean when the video of the S600 (shown in the intro) drops on TH-cam
The on-board images are incredible. You can see every bit of movement in that car as it accelerates and shifts!
Yesssss. As an audio nerd that covers rally, this is exactly the type of content I want to see! I hope this continues, I absolutely love the concept!
Bro an LFA would sound absolutely incredible in there
And the Hakasouka GT-R too!
Top Gear, you've truly hit the mark with this one! From revving engines to iconic racing moments, this tunnel is a car enthusiast's dream.
Thank you Top Gear for this automotive eargasm!
Thanks TG the Audi Group B is one of my all time favourite cars the sound the 5pot makes is unbelievable and that tunnel run is just epic
Things like this will live on in a world when all cars will sound like scalextric cars and have no soul
I'm so pleased I could be around and see cars like this live in the day as kids today won't know what a car with noise and soul is all about
Smoother than Stig's helmet 😂😂😂
👀
Giggity
Hot diggity dawg😂😂🎉
Yep, every single part of The Stig is built for speed..
Never have I been so happy to own 4 different high end headphones, each with their own unique features, which means I'll _actually_ be getting *4* videos to watch for every episode of this series that drops. Whoever came up with this idea for this series deserves a *big* raise/bonus.
I actually remember hearing somewhere about some kind of crazy tunnel project in England a while ago, and tbh it's been so long since then that I had forgotten about it, but I'm glad to see the project completed, and I look forward to all the content it will help create. I think I remember hearing about this in one of the many interviews done with Gordon Murray when he released the T.50 and T.30. (might have been with Mike from DriveTribe, but I am not positive)
Yeah, I'm about to watch it again with my Verum 1s.
My God that was a joy to listen to. Eyes closed just listening to that symphony🤩
My favourite, the legendary Quattro S1 E2 Imo the most iconic rally car ever made… it rewrote the rule book. Over 40 years later & still mega cool 👍🏼😎😎
I have never had something send chills down my spine like the run with Mike did. That was beyond incredible.
9:20 headphones on 🎧 "Are you freaked out yet".......... I'm going to need a moment.........
Good lord! My inner child LOVED that 😂
Thank you TG and thank you Becky 👍
So difficult to find natural and enjoyable presenters breaking on to the scene - Becky is great! Well done!
This concept might be the best Top Gear has ever had!
finally something my ears can appreciate.
none of this electric gubbins.
🙌
Yes, that's why people will keep driving fossil cars. Listening to the beautiful sound of a Stellantis diesiel 1.5 HDi while commuting is something to live for.
Porsche Carrera GT? It's the sweetest sounding machine out there.
Amazing! Man and machine in heaven below ground. Really thrilling! Impressive work, Becky and Team of Top Gear with hi tech acoustics.
LOVE this! The ASMR style mic feature is excellent, well done folks - very good. Look forward to the next one
Ben Collins had a lot of fun. You can see it in his face :)
That was brilliant!
5 Cylinder Music - Vorsprung durch Technik
The loudest race car I've ever heard was the Panoz that raced at Le Mans.
I LOVE this!!

This is the best video series ever. They will never run out of cars to test! I love it. Finally something for car guys.
Not hours of talking and music that overshadow the car sound.
This is peak top gear!!
Goosebumps to the 10th power!! WOW 😮 Thank you, TG Team! Much love for this ❤️❤️
What a final with that sound at the end , loved it, amazing video
I feel blessed! what an idea! thanks!.
Goose bumps all over my body when listening to this legendary Audi. This sound will be unforgotten for ever. Even for those new electric guy kids. Thanks for this awesome video and look back into great times of cars.
Best sound ever. Intake,exhaust,turbo... You named it,this has it .
becky the future of top gear
If she manages to keep her waving hands still
If you could get the Napier-Railton in there with its 23.9 litre engine... yes please
This is definitely one of the THE coolest things tg has ever done i cant wait for the next one!! 👏🏼
What a great idea for a new type of content. The thing for which a lot of car enthousiasts watch video’s for. Looking forward to an ongoing series for years :)
7.1 Surround sound headset - That was awesome 🤣 First time I've watched the same video more than once in a row.
She needs a comrade for some banter.
for binaural stereo is supposed to be the output ;)
@@MightySavagE Depends on the encoding, but it's a fancy setup so the decode is decent. It would have been cool if they moved the sound setup behind the driver instead of dead center of the car, but that's nitpicking lol.
Nah, no more people
More cars and more pure sound
Thats what this is all about..
@@vinc_ck6451 Nah, I miss the trio's banter for filler. Maybe they can guest-star Jeremy now that most of the world agrees with him, EVs are rubbish.
Finally the video all petrolheads waiting for !!
The combination 5 cylinder quick shifting and blow of velve in insane
That 5 cylinder sound is truly amazing!
Can't wait for part 2 🗿🔥🔥
This is a random take but assetto corsa NAILED the sounds so well for this car and you can tell because it sounds just like the in car video.
This is the kind of video you'll remember for a long time, goose bumps
So TG rediscovered something called "Stereophony" from about 100 years back and recommend some device potentially more "high fidelity" than the tiny hissing speakers from your average smear-phone. Well done!
The featured cars are also very nice, I do remember the racket which was not only audible noise but a seismic sensation - you could quite literally feel the ground trembling.
This has some mega potential, Quattro sounded great as always and Becky did a great job presenting. More!
But he always shifts before getting to 9k revs😢
In a channel filled with clueless editors blabbering about how heavy EVs are, stands this lone gem of a series! The only thing more ravishing than Miss Evans is the sweet, sweet sounds of violent combustion 🎶
I drove in an actual S1 as a passenger during the Arosa Classic Car Hillclimb event in Switzerland many years ago. The driver was Harald Demuth. He is one of the Audi factory rally drivers from the quattro glory days. And boy the man can drive, I tell ya. The drive up the hill was intense, violent, brutal and fun 🙂
How can you talk about Audi and m]not even mention Michele Mouton, the best female motorsport driver we have seen.
She won the 82 Acropolis rally and was second in the 82 WRC. She also won Pikes Peak in a Group B Audi. Oh and she was a class winner at Le Mans in the 70s.
She did not need a female only series or diversity quotas to perform. She was just good.
You are either unaware or have simply forgotten how the male drivers responded when Audi selected a woman for their WRC team. Ari Vatanen was particularly bothered for some reason, saying, *“The day I will be beaten by a woman, I will stop racing.”* 🙄
In fact, the weekend before Mouton's first win at Rallye Sanremo, Vatanen again boasted about his male superiority to journalists. *"Never can, nor will I lose to a woman."* But then, he lost to two women at the same time - Mouton's co-driver Fabrizia Pons is also a woman. Somehow, in a shocking twist, Vatanen found the strength to continue racing despite this terrible injustice. 🙄
After defeating Mouton by the slimmest of margins to win the 1982 WRC Championship, Walter Röhrl said he would have accepted losing the championship to Hannu Mikkola (Mouton's male teammate), but not Mouton herself. You can take a guess why, but you don't need to - Rörhl was clear. *“This is not because I doubt her capabilities as a driver, but because she is a woman.”* 🙄
At Pikes Peak in '85, when Mouton destroyed the course record, Bobby Unser came out of retirement and returned to the mountain for the first time in 12 years. Why? Because he couldn't stand being beaten by a woman. His nephew Al Unser Jr. later said, *"I don’t think he liked Michèle Mouton having the record. I don’t think he cared that Mouton had it, I think he cared that a woman had it.”* 🙄
When Unser's 1986 record was immediately shattered by Walter Röhrl in 1987, he suddenly didn't seem to care so much. Weird. 🙄
These are, of course, only the remarks and facts that have been actually published. Imagine what the day-to-day experience was like dealing with these kinds of fragile egos, all because you happen to have been born a woman. Ironic, isn't it - how many men complain about female-only series when they also seem to have so much difficulty with the idea of being beaten by one. 🤔
@@daedalus_20v yeah, everyone seems to remember Röhrl's Pikes Peak run, yet nobody seems to remember Mouton's. Case in point: this video.
Her as host and cars that go all the way too 11 in that tunnel is an Awesome combo ! 👍🏻
This is an amazing idea for a series, I really want to see more of this. There are so many awesome cars out there that need to be recorded down there!
"If I have some emotion,of course it's the noise of the Quattro...nobody can forget the noise,I think even today...we miss this kind of noise" Michelle Mouton
Don't know who that is but the real "Stig" has his own channel. Ben Collins Drives
Who cares? he's driving in a straight line anyways, it's about the car and the noise.
Dont forget the original "stig" drove that car in the 80s
Absolutely incredible! The content of my dreams! Simply perfect! I'm in love with this series. Here's a list of future cars that you could bring:
GMA T.50/ T.50.S Niki Lauda;
Pagani Huayra R;
Ferrari 812 Novitec N-Largo;
BMW M1 Procar;
Porsche Carrera GT;
Ferrari 275 GTB/4;
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Gintani Exhaust;
Ferrari F355 Capristo exhaust;
Lexus LFA;
Tuthill Porsche 911K;
Mazda 787B.
I am going love this series. Thanks to whoever fixed the tunnel, you will be blessed.
I need Clarkson
Or at least Hammond
Maybe May too but idk
Still?....... Get over it.
I can still hear Clarkson saying "SPEED AND POWERRR" at 7:32
Maybe best not to let James do another speed run in a tunnel.
@@Frack_Black a man can dream ok
@iamtherealzombie When I clicked on this video I was actually expecting a challenge like the one in "A Scandi Flick" tbh
This presenter got 90% screen time over the cars 10%, not great.
Well, if you just want to see the tunnel run, they've put chapters in the description so you can skip to it. Some of us (most of us, it seems) enjoy hearing the history of the car before seeing it in action.
You've shot this video like the promo clips in NFS 1 and 2! I thought kids are unable shoot an exiting car showcase nowadays.
Damn, I feel old now. 😢
This was amazing. You can even hear the window rattling sound while onboard POV!
Thanks for the goosebumps! This binaural listening experience is amazing and the whole idea to be filming in a tunnel is just super cool. TopGear is finally becoming the most original car show, as it used to be!❤
This series is going to be INCREDIBLE! The Audi Sport quattro S1 sounds INSANE!
I'm crying with joy!! What a warbley symphony!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Y'all have struck gold with this series. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Just remember, eventually people will get bored at some point so don't drag it out infinitely. Keep inventing
What a great video i didn't expecte at the end i loved it🎉❤
Thank-you top gear for this amazing new series, Becky is a great host and the audi sound's epic, that turbo chirp oooo boy 👌👌.
I'm in love with that S1
Thank you for featuring "The Black Volcano" Michele Mouton. She was iconic Group B Audi driver on the podium.
This was a great idea! I have a surround system on the TV and it worked amazing. I switched to Sony XM headphones and it's truly immersive
This is Charwelton disused railway tunnel near Daventry Northamptonshire. Yes the other end is at Catesby.
Wow. One of my favourite cars of all time. Brilliant.
This channel continues to be better than the last 3 series from the TV!
Top gear left no bread crumbs. Top gear ate!!!
One of UK's best car presenters, Top Gear and some really fast cars
Now we're talking!! Well done TG!!
That flutter and blow off valve sound amazing!
Incredible, keep up posting tunnel series :D
So i live within walking distance of this tunnel and it must be amazing to hear and see these cars in this tunnel. I can sort of imagine what its like from my days exploring it before they converted it.
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
this is the first top gear series i am REALLY excited for in a long time.
Awesome ! Great concept !!
Absolutely fantastic
Amazing. Reallye unique and great idea!! i love it!!
Top Gear is back !! Do this for all the greatest sounding cars ever made please !!!
Great video, executed extremely well
I really enjoyed this! Keep it up! ❤
The glorious sound of my youth 😀 I stood in the forests as a 15 year old watching those blasting past on the 85 RAC Rally, that year and others. It's absolutely the reason there's a 20v V5 engined Golf with a noisy exhaust and intake system sat outside the house as my daily driver 😁😁
Hear and see them in action on a stage is even more impressive
My favorite rally car ever! Wow!
