Never even knew this was a thing, It sounds amazing
Best engine sound ever! Ultimate Impreza!
what a shame this car never went into production :(
@Tanner Vaughn you know that this is a 6 year old comment right
Still sad this didnt come to market. They deffo need to make a supercar
@@saadabdullah4245 yeah
Just like marcos tso on season 7
@@NICKCAMP04 yes
2:00 I was expecting for James to proceed whit explaining what anti-lag is!
Am I the only one that looks at this and sees an Audi R8 that's had the nose and tail smooshed in?
Or rather, when looking at the R8, seeing a P2 that's had the roof smooshed down so that the whole car's splayed out?
There is absolutely some R8 influence here. I like it.
That was the first thing I thought of too. A 3/4 R8. I like it too 👌
The R8's design 'leans forward' a lot and I severely dislike it as a result. This P2 here looks far more balanced, even with all the weird air scoops. But there's some similarity, yeah.
Idk about you but it's more like a compact version of Cadillac CTS-V to me than the R8....
It's not just you, haha
"What car do you have?"
"I have a squirrel mincer that makes me vomit."
☺
"The very famous..." (I dig this pause) "... Prodrive!"
"It weighs about as much as a human hair, it goes like one too!" Hell yeah!
"Relative speed..." Brilliant expression from Jeremy!
This car is stunning~ What a shame it won't go into production :(
This thing looks like early models of the Cadillac CTS-V (~2010?) sedan from the front. It's got those parallelogram headlights, standard mesh grid grill, and similar proportions on the entire front end.
On a completely different note, that sound when you ;et off the throttle is fucking amazing! Really wish that with all the turbo-ing going on in the car industry these days that more manufacturers would do something fun like this to their turbo spool discharge/release noise. I guess it would be an expensive thing to develop for what would inevitably an annoyance to most people, and therefore not very good return on the investment.
Sad they completely skipped over/derided the technical aspects of the car, which was the reason Prodrive lent them the P2 in the first place. The boss vowed to never lend them another car after this.
It's an entertainment show, explaining the technical aspect anymore than he did (saying it has anti-lag and a clever diff) would just be boring for most viewers.
It’s not like they made another one 💀
Well would you rather listen to an engineer ramble on or would you rather watch JC do a practical test to prove it works and demonstrate the prowess of the car?
Clarkson: This is a fantastic car
Prodrive: How dare you!
@jfroskate02 anti-lag are the small explosions/bangs you hear when he lets of the gas. They are ment to keep the turbo spinning and thus keep the boost pressure up even when no throttle is being applied. Basicly all rally cars are equiped with this but since the wear on the turbo is immense no production cars usualy have it.
That lap time is insane. 1 24.3 from only 345 bhp, and it's not exactly lightweight either.
impreza motors are always awesome :-)
The EJ series is amazing
Since when did the track have a line of flagpoles on the side?
Airport circuit
Floodlights
@casseebest actually anti lag work by making the fuel mix richer and sending it through the exhaust where it ignites on contact with the hot exhaust pipes, which then goes to the turbo keeping its RPM in a usable range to create no lag.
TopGear's video team continues to amaze me. Superb videos like no other.
"its dirty" Haha :D Love the squirrel sound xD Great test ^^
Why did I never see this before?!
I can't believe they used a Death From Above song in the car demo, I love this show so much
£40K ! I was expecting £140K..
Too bad it's not gonna go in production, it seemed really nice.
I was sure he was gonna say "Not only can it blow your mind - it can blow your chunks."
That is the best use of a turbo yet, not dumping all the built up boost in one go!! I'm glad some is making use of the available technology, we have had this stuff ( gyro sensors, roll, pitch & yaw sensors, accelerometers..... etc etc....) for many years in aircraft, it's time to put it into our autos!!!
ive seen this car before online about 2 years ago its insane antilag is awesome. wish they would acutally produce this car.
One of my fave ever Top Gear segments and one of my fave ever cars. Such, such, SUCH a shame that Prodrive elected not to put it into production.
Why didn't they bring this amazing machine to production?! It's incredible! I read an article that claimed it "wasn't pretty", maybe not, but it looks really cool. Well, everything but the grill looks really cool.
just love that boxer sound, cant get enough of it! =)
Anti-lag - Basically when the turbo is off boost, because the engines at low RPM, the ECU allows car to run rich, causing fuel to ignite in the exhaust manifold. This keeps the turbo spinning even at low revs.
ATD is basically Active Yaw Control which is also found in Evos and that noise isn't the wastegate, it's compressor surge and it's bad for your turbo.
4:30 sounds like the mafia 2 throwup sound 😂
"That's what it is a squirrel mincer." Loved that part.
"Animal and machine in perfect harmony?" 笑
this was the first episode of Top Gear with the trio that I ever saw.
Of all the years that Jeremy Claarkson has been driving turbocharged cars and still insists that the surging "squirrel sound" from the compressor wheel is the "waste gate", couldn't be more wrong. It is the blow off valve, the waste gate is to control your boost pressure. I have heard him refer to "waste gate" too many times in previous episodes.
The ATD explanation was actually pretty simple to understand...sounded like AYC on an EVO.
Fun fact: Ford actually started as a racing company, sort of. Henry Ford tried to establish another auto firm before the Ford Motor Co. we have today.
In an overly simplified summary, Ford entered the 1901 “Sweepstakes” and beat the well established Alexander Winton. The publicity this victory brought convinced investors to completely back and support Henry’s second attempt at a car firm, which would become the modern Ford Motor Co.
@caio20v its a dose basically no blow off valve when you lift of the throttle the air hits a wall goes back wards spins the turbo the other way and make that sound. it's know technically as a compression surge.
Good thing to know the stig is compatible with the P2's computer :)
@iThoughtOfaUsername turbo lag is where the turbo is spooking up enough to be effective..so an als system is one that minimizes that lag time
@Pitttdog dont forget the differential with all those settings!
I remember seeing pictures of this car a couple years or so ago, how old is this episode?
What that's not anti lag...Anti lag is where you adjust the ignition timing and keep the turbos spooled at low speed (like around corners or from a dig) so you can engage it when you need the power either off the line, in a rolling race or to regain speed coming out of a corner.
Its a shame it didnt get in production. It was an amazing piece of enginiering
What a pity this car never came to production!
@MrMrShobear
I was wondering if this has a WRX chassis underneath? I mean it would save a lot to use that chassis that u can just use the same engine. The only cost would be making brand new panels and interior fittings. Still cost a lot. My point is why Subaru never made such a thing but Prodrive which only mods WRX for races does. Strange world this is.
@jfroskate02 What Buffynajtor is correct. Any car where constant boost is wanted, 2 step launch control is there. Plus im pretty sure Porsches use Sequential turbo systems don't they?
If Prodrive plans to put the P2 in production, let's hope there's a sick bag as standard equipment. It's circles around so fast and tight!
That’s what she said.
@qwikyking yeah i think its when they tune the turbo to work way b4 3k-3.5k rpm
Wouldn't be such fast without Impreza engine! But I still love it!
the wastegate sound is awesome!
@JTshoot i think its the Koenigsegg CCXR and the other long one its the same but its the CCX, if im not right please correct me.
i would love a traditional mini with a 1.6 turbo and 4wd!
Lol was that Rosetta stone or something when the stig was driving?
@MeeGra123 "Break" refers to the horsepower at the breaks. It's one of the 3 most commons ways to measure power. The other two beeing Rhp and kw. The reason why you have bhp and rhp is that you "loose" some horsepower in the energy transfere frm the engine, to the actuall wheels. So that's why (if Im not mistaken) rhp is what your engine produces and bhp is what your car actually does on the road. Hope it helps x)
Break is when they test the engine on a stand and apply a braking force to it. The alternative is wheel horsepower which is measured at the axle, or more commonly at the wheels. This is with the engine in the car with all drivetrain components sapping some power.
Edit: i just saw this was from 11 years ago. I hope you have a bit more knowledge now ;)
@TheFenerli10 always nice to dream. There's plenty of other people who give very thorough and factual reviews about ordinary cars.
BEAST!! I cant believe they were playing a Missy Elliot beat
hahah Jeramey's voice cracks at 0:23
That is one of the coolest, most amazing cars in history. Imagine how amazing would it be to own a P2 with a EXE-TC safari suspension! Perfect car for Baja!
Death from above 1979? I didn't expect that on top gear!.
@Gigdoat TH-cam uses a different tracker for 300+ views.
So new videos will usually see a view count cap at around 300. Then the other system will update the true viewcount later.
I see
squirels being pushed into the engine is another term for compression surge?
Also by Anti-lag if it means 2-step launch control. Then its simply constant boosting =]
the subaru boxer engine (both standard and tuned) sounds like a rally saab v4 in my opinion
Hey guys!! Whats the name of the song that starts at 0:34- and keeps going.????
@thetito626 hell yea man! i wish they would mention how much the cars cost in dollars though!
the sound u get when u step off the gas is the blow off valve.
i want it. a futuristic sportscar body with inteligance and acts and sounds like a rallycar
Full potential of the Impreza STi engine, unlocked.
lol 6:38 pru de cos se du pra de sema ko..... where can i find traffic lights?
Looks like a MG X-Power SV from the rear?
It sounds quite oldschool. I like the noise.
A bit late, but better late than never! It's Partyline Honey by Faultline. I heard it here...loved it and bought the ablum.
OMG Jezza turns into the Joker at 2:43
Man I miss this show
Does anyone know, whats the name of the song is 0:33 ????? PLZ
this vehicle is amazing. i wonder if they will bring it to the north american markets.
what is the song called at like 35 seconds in the video?
The ADI seems to be a good system!
What episode is this from? I don't remember it.
can it PLEASE come state side?? this thing is incredible...
is that guy from prodrive the previous head of the subaru world rally team?
Isnt that guy that was explaining the car to jeremy the ceo of mclaren?
Will it be for sale in America?
@mydeftones hahaha, that's one wicked sound >:D
@MattTrecartin Doesn't the nissan gtr already have that technology?
@buffynajtor you sir are correct =]
I'm very familiar with Anti-Lag.. But once in a while top gear will put a basic car out with Carkson or the Stig on a track a without Anti-Lag installed and flames would shoot out the back like a butane lighter!!
@AreThereNoMoreNames sweet, good to see I can finally get a car like it in america.
Is it BOV flutter or compression surge?
Does anyone know what the name of the song is that starts at 0:33?
looks awesome and futuristic :D
0:30 what is that song please?
@acidongitim a paint job and bodykit? What are you? 12 years old? however I do agree with you that it's power is very awesome
@OriginOfStencil ya well said now we know from where the r8 coming.
Jeremy looks dazed at 3:30
@JOSHWO102 Either way it has a similar effect on the turbo. Although it's not as harmful as surge.
Puking Clarcson priceless!
@JTshoot
its a old mini cooper i think
Would anybody tell me whats the "break" in bhp?
I cant translate it but I would like to know :-)
the boy's expression at 5:33.. looks like he wants to drive the P2 badly. lol
@gmanrofl um yes i do. im pretty sure im herring a whhhhoooochhhh sound after he shifts and i have heard real bovs in real life, they dont sound like that, thats what turbo surge sounds like. it seems to be that its not venting enough and making slight surge as a result. i didnt mean non exesting quite so literaly really what i meant is that its not working very well.
If it has anti-lag wouldn't that breakbyour turbo charger? That's why rally cars with anti- lag change turbo charger often
kewl, 4:25 - and the explanation for it at 5:15 ...
not in production? i think i am going to cry.
