He talks about it like "he is afraid of it with TC off", but in the video he handles it, so a bit weird! But we can feel that this car is like a very savage animal screaming & begging to be pushed hard, like a pornstar!
Do not be so stupid. Top gear is not going anywhere. But they need to change the format. That last season was very corny and seemed very short as well and I barely seen Harris on it or Sabine. Both of those should be out trashing cars on tracks with cool challenges and lots of reviews.
Hopefully once TGT starts they'll piss off and be happy with being back on TV. Then they'll start complaining again that the show is shit like the last few years with TG
This isn't with the spirit of Top Gear which most people have enjoyed in the past decade, but it is a smashing review video. A great watch, more of this please!
I've watched this 12-14 times now and it gets better everytime. The music, the narration & the shots overall are just perfect. How does this not have millions of views yet while stupid videos do?
More Chris Harris, sure people might not like that he didn't "review" the car as such, but on the other hand through the whole clip you just knew what he felt like in that machine, he let you know how it felt to drive. Fantastic.
i think chris harris is a great presenter, but the big reason why people loved top gear so much with jeremy, hammond, and may is because they had so much chemistry and they were so unscripted. top gear feels like its trying too hard now
This is literally Chris Harris on Cars, not Top Gear HAHAHA! Not complaining though, unlike most of the people in this comments section. At least we have 1 good presenter.
"This is literally Chris Harris on Cars, not Top Gear" That's the whole point genius, Top Gear bought the series and it's now called "Chris Harris Drives." It's for the Top Gear website, not the TV show.
Exactly. This is actually leagues better than his own piece on the F12 tdf for the Top Gear TV-series, literally miles better, it's not even comparable.
Loved Top Gear with the three amigos. They made the show adventurous. But Chris Harris is far better at reviewing cars than either of them. He should have top gear all to himself.
+Dustin Spencer Agreed on the dislike part. People are still salty over the Clarkson situation and can't enjoy good content from Harris because of it. Pitiful.
+Dustin Spencer Clarkson's gang made Top Gear a great TV show, and it will take time for people to understand it is over. As much as it was a great TV show, it became a show for the people, not only for car guys, with less reall testing and evaluating, and more scripted scene. I follow Chris Harris since the days he was an Autocar magazine journalist, and I was so glad to know he joins Top Gear. He is just the right man for the job. A knowledgeable driver who can translate what he feels to words. I really love him, he will do great!
Chris is legend and best car reviewer/presenter, you cannot be a true car fan if you don't know who he is and appreciate his work and style. These haters are just ridiculous and have no clue
Dear BBC, Please take notice of what I am about to say, because it couldn't be a more genuine and thought-through opinion than it's about to be. If you plan on restructuring Top Gear once more, please highly take into consideration the following trio of presenters; *Chris Harris* , *Tiff Needell* , and *Matt Farah* . For all the reasons why fans enjoy Mr. Harris, is the same reason people enjoy Tiff and Matt. They are die-hard automotive enthusiasts, who have a fantastic entertaining and confident camera presence. They are professional in the work they all do, and can still remain entertaining and relevant to as wide of an audience as Top Gear used to have. This trio, would hands down, be able to be on a level playing field, with the old presenters and their new show, better yet, would have people loving BOTH shows, and not just one or the other. Everyone wins, literally. You couldn't describe a more Win-Win situation if you tried. Please take note and genuinely consider this, you will not regret it. *Chris Harris* - *Tiff Needell* - *Matt Farah* - All 3 automotive journalists, professional presenters, and fan favorites.
Dean S You say no to Tiff, a proven presenter with experience and fan favorite, who is as passionate about cars as he is good at driving them, having been a racing driver himself, then follow up by giving two of the worst examples imaginable. The idea is to have Top Gear attain its gold standard once again, not run it further into the ground.
The TDF may be my favorite Ferrari at the moment, the unique and aggressive styling, and the absolutely insane power, combined with all the performance is incredible. I wish I had the chance to play with one, hell I'm lucky I've seen so many at this point.
Absolute legend this guy. Watched him way before top gear and he's always so awesome to watch, such a passionate talented driver who talks cars in real terms!
This is definitely one of my favorite Chris Harris videos. He did an absolute fantastic job of presenting the TDF factually without making it sound boring. His genuine excitement for this Ferrari really made me get into it too! Well done Mr. Harris. He has fantastic presentation skills, and a style that I felt the recent Top Gear with Mr. Clarkson was starting to shy away from in favor of more explosions. Clarkson is a fantastic presenter as well but I admire Harris' ability to let his genuine side through.
I used to watch Chris Harris on TH-cam before he started working on Top Gear, was always amazed by his work. Not surprised that no one other than him had what it took to revive this show.
I love this program!! The cinematography has always been great but to be able to translate emotion is amazing. Well done Chris i felt like i was in the passenger seat
Chris Harris gets so involved with every car he test. He quite the accomplished driver and he still has a bit of anxiety while driving this "explosive" Ferrari. Take note of the glowing front rotor @ 6min 21sec. This is truly another AWESOME Ferrari, Well done Chris!
I actually thought it's a "Chris Harris on Cars" video until I looked at the channel. Glad he was allowed to bring over his own style of making videos. Love the "old" Top Gear and the boys, love Chris Harris and his amazing videos.
Every damn time I saw this car, I just wanna cry knowing the fact that I can't even own one, I'm not even a Ferrari fan, but the F12 and the TDF just owns a special place in my heart
I love how this version of the f12 tdf review has more views then the classic top gear style one. this is so much better than the other one coz it's informative and entertaining at the same time and Chris Harris is a pro race driver who can really appreciate the tech and development that goes into the cars he drives. man I wish I could drive like him when I'm a bit older (I am 17) and able to drive cars that are even slightly close to the tdf and even own my supercar.
Saw an F12 tdf a few years ago when I visited the Ferrari dealership close to my house. It’s smaller than I thought it was going to be. But the second hand price wasn’t smaller.
Sabine seems more suited as an infrequent guest than a presentor to me. Perhaps of track tester for sensible cars people actually drive. She sets the 'ring time so others don't have to (die trying).
Even today this is the ultimate driving machine, absolute beast, hard to drive, crazy agility and it sounds brutal... this is the way to make a Supercar... not a friendly track car with massive grip and handling... A monster car... Good job Ferrari
It's been so long since Chris Harris has been tearing up my screens properly. This is how you drive. This is how you present top gear, and THIS is one hell of car. Great video! Keep them coming
Chris' best yet. The strings of his hoody floating in air when he decelerates, the cameras showing the underbody diffusers and glowing brakes, the outrageous descriptions... Outstanding.
I discovered Chris Harris on TH-cam years ago and he is just like that one good buddy of yours that is really into cars, you could see the enthusiasm in his expression and you can't help but be sucked into the swirl as well. Cheers to Chris, oh, and the side profile of this Ferrari looks like a Corvette.
French Ferrari fan almost fluent in English and just wanted to say I love the way he talks about that car which is one of my all-time favorite. Just liked the way he shows how surprised he was by the car
As someone who has been watching Chris's videos for a while, I couldn't be happier to see him on Top Gear! Not many that can review cars like he can. Hopefully people who haven't heard of him before are willing to accept him instead of hate.
Just wow! When you join these two monsters (Chris and TDF), miracles happen! TDF is just brutal, savage beast, love it, one of favorite supercars/hypercars these days. Fantastic job Chris, as always!
Harris's not going to replace. He's going to evolve. More tech, more specific, definitely more cutting edge driving. Same passion, less sarcasm, not without. Just an example: The Stig is outdated with him.
Just discovered this, great to see you guys are presenting Harris in the manner in which he comes across well. How could we be not enjoying wonderfully ludicrous machinery being shown as we'd all like to drive them ourselves. Thankyou for bringing the fun of driving back to Top Gear. More please. Good luck BBC
I love Chris Harris. I'm so glad his with Top Gear now. I signed up for Amazon to watch The Grand Tour with Clarkson, Hammond, and May. But now I know I can watch some parts of Top Gear too.
It's by a guy called Dan Brown (Twitter here: twitter.com/DanBrownMusic) .. confirmed it in a tweet to me. Trying to find out from him if it's available to buy anywhere!
Wow, to hear Chris flabbergasted this way shoes how wild this machine is. This is the first time I've seen not not be able to grab something by the scruff of its neck and make it his.
The Corvette is (or at least looks) shorter than the F12. The F12 has way more agressive body work, and is generally better lookng than the new corvette. Not that there is anything wrong with the C7, brilliant car, but it just dosn't look as good as its predecessors.
It's not only about the previous entertaining but practical hosts. Top gear special effects, the way they use to film and present, like you watch McLaren p1 (the widowmaker), F12 berlinetta, Lamborghini Huracan and many more... the way they filmed, presented, and introduced them to us. You dont see that much that high end stuff and creativity now. It's very simple and straightforward now. For eg. This is the new Ferrari and here are the numbers. We don't ONLY watch the show for cars (bitter truth) we also watch it for fun. The factor or factors which use to bind ourselves to our couch while watching top gear is or are MISSING.
This is fun because you got an actual driver talking, whereas Top Gear apparently forced their knowledgeable and competent driver to permanent silence and if he spoke they killed him.
TDF = To Die For...bc that's exactly what I would do for one of these lol. And yes Chris Harris needs his own show. My love for Top Gear has since waned but if he was slated as the new host I would absolutely resume watching!! Sent from Maryland, USA!!
+David Fuller first public renderings were in 2009. first test cars where on the track and some roads in mid 2012 then the public release was December 2012. so the designers got to see it 3 years before ferrari pushed it's drawing in 2011 then public viewing of concept in 2012. www.corvetteblog.com/2007/06/corvettes-of-the-future-artist-renderings-of-c7-corvette/
Yeah. Because the F12 got out of bloody nowhere, from a complete vacuum in 2012 right? Ferrari didn't do years of study and design work before actually starting to shape metal into the first prototypes right? Just because Chevrolet is more loud when it comes to "building hype" about their car doesn't mean their design is "more original". In fact, seeing as all Ferrari GT's basically take design-cues from the early Ferrari 166 Inter (from 1948, which is a good 5 years before there even was a Corvette) I'd say the Corvette always was, and always will be a cheap knockoff Ferrari.
+ShadowFalcon Can you imagine the first time a Ferrari owner hears "is that the new vett"? Would you be happy to know people are comparing your ridiculously expensive Ferrari to a $50,000 Corvette that all the Ferrari fan boys say is a plastic crap car? That would make me happy to know I'm being compared To the mere common man's car even though I just spent more than twice the average cost of an America home On a "unique" "rare" supercar.
+ShadowFalcon I'm sure the Ferrari owner will be pleased to stand there and tell him about who released the plans for their car first and that the Ferrari is really not a Corvette copy. I'm sure that's exactly what he wants to do when he pulls up in his new shiny Corvette, I mean Ferrari.
+Andeng Alvarez Yes, and his style is good, but the truth is that it is way different than the classic TG style. If the Top Gear and Extra Gear wouldn't have the TG names (and in case of TG, not EG) and they wouldn't be trying to be like the old trio.
+TRAV HEX Yes, you're right. But the TG got famous because of the amazing humor and crazy roadtrips. That's what BBC wants to keep alive with Evans. But they failed... how 'surprising'...
YES, this video is what I've been waiting for. Chris Harris is just for it! Please do make filming like this. This is why I DO Subscribe. LIKE IT A LOT.

When Chris Harris says he's scared of a car, you know it must be absolutely devastating.
Love it.
He's not normally a sweary bloke...but with this car... 😂
If he says so, he needs to practice more to be a better driver
@@jarek3579 he’s literally a racing driver dumbass
He talks about it like "he is afraid of it with TC off", but in the video he handles it, so a bit weird! But we can feel that this car is like a very savage animal screaming & begging to be pushed hard, like a pornstar!
If Top Gear had only Chris Harris and content like this, it would restore my love for Top Gear.
Love Chris Harris. If Top Gear had only Chris Harris and content like this, it would restore my love for Top Gear
They should go to TH-cam to complete the lineup. Mr. JWW, Chris, and the Harry’s Garage or thecarguys.tv. I’d watch that.
They moved to Amazon. You can find them there buddy. Cheers.
Built by Clarkson
Finished by Clarkson Hammond May
Destroyed by Evans
Rebuilt by Harris
true true
Glad someone in the comments actually mentioned how awesome Chris is with these reviews
+Fitness Virgins The show could have continued with harris alone no doubt
YESS. THANK YOU.
Indeed. If Chris Harris' introduction to the general public is the only legacy of the new TG, then the world will be a better place for it.
BBC please close top gear and let Harris has his own show.
couldn't have said it better.
I was thinking the same thing before he even got on the show. Used to support his work on Patreon too.
It would get so many views.
agreed!!
Do not be so stupid. Top gear is not going anywhere. But they need to change the format.
That last season was very corny and seemed very short as well and I barely seen Harris on it or Sabine.
Both of those should be out trashing cars on tracks with cool challenges and lots of reviews.
I'm baffled to see haters not knowing who Chris Harris is.
Usual ignorant pricks online.
Fake 12 years old "car guys" , that is pretty much what's left of the old "Top Gear comunity" .
Hopefully once TGT starts they'll piss off and be happy with being back on TV. Then they'll start complaining again that the show is shit like the last few years with TG
Yeah everyone is just disliking it because he's not Clarkson, May or Hammond. I'm guessing that don't know what Chris is talking about lol
+Fitness Virgins that and that the Top Gear TH-cam Channel usually post teasers and short crap videos. I love that they posted this one.
Chris. You the man. You review cars perfectly. Forget top gear, Matt and the other dude. I want a TV show where you drive, review and shred tires.
This isn't with the spirit of Top Gear which most people have enjoyed in the past decade, but it is a smashing review video. A great watch, more of this please!
why are u down here, sir? go to the top!
Actually, it is what Top Gear was all about until around season 10 when the tomfoolery really took over.
His channel is the best motoring channel on youtube
Samuel Townsend;- You need to settle down with childrens TV with a Horlics. Leave Chris Harris for the grown-ups.
Chris Harris has been doing quality car videos like this for years
Here's a like for no ad.
GoPro shot of the front brake rotor glowing is awesome.
I've watched this 12-14 times now and it gets better everytime. The music, the narration & the shots overall are just perfect.
How does this not have millions of views yet while stupid videos do?
This was posted a week ago.
Always A Red You say that like one can't see the date it was published on....
Lol
2 years later
Alex Shartzer add a couple of 0’s to my original post and we have my current watch count.
Guys, this video is actually good, let's try not to down vote just once maybe..
no
I actually like Chris Harris. Not the other guys though.
hahahahahahahha no
+ELLINARAS 456 Shut up.
Harris is great tho
More Chris Harris, sure people might not like that he didn't "review" the car as such, but on the other hand through the whole clip you just knew what he felt like in that machine, he let you know how it felt to drive.
Fantastic.
cmon chris harris is one of the best presenters on youtube why are ppl hating on him?
cuz he is an idiot we want the legends back
The "legends" you'll see in a month or so....can we now watch and appreciate this video of Chris Harris driving this masterpiece?
+ELLINARAS 456 How is he an idiot?
Says i guy who is probably 10yo ... Sorry to inform you that you are the one who is idiot
+Rentta do you compare him to those 3 guys we had he is not even one of the others i mean he is not worth 1 of them
Top Gear fans should grow up and start appreciate Chris Harris
hes awsome!
i think chris harris is a great presenter, but the big reason why people loved top gear so much with jeremy, hammond, and may is because they had so much chemistry and they were so unscripted. top gear feels like its trying too hard now
Maybe, but that's no reason to actually shit on Top Gear when it does something right which is what a lot of them seem to be intent on doing.
Without doubt!
top gear was unscripted? LMAO
This is literally Chris Harris on Cars, not Top Gear HAHAHA! Not complaining though, unlike most of the people in this comments section. At least we have 1 good presenter.
"This is literally Chris Harris on Cars, not Top Gear"
That's the whole point genius, Top Gear bought the series and it's now called "Chris Harris Drives." It's for the Top Gear website, not the TV show.
+c3vzn I think topgear should be about cars
Exactly. This is actually leagues better than his own piece on the F12 tdf for the Top Gear TV-series, literally miles better, it's not even comparable.
SwapBlogRU totally
Not quite the same. He only tracks them now and doesn't road test it seems :(
Damn watching those discs light up so fast was freaking awesome
that was amazing. his comment about the car being a class A substance really hit me too lol. this car must be just unbelievable.
first time seeing Chris so terrified
😂😂😂
Remember the Hoonicorn video? That launch scared the shit of him as well 😂
+Fitness Virgins Wrong Chris, this is Harris, that was LeBlanc.
+UnimaginativeName no go to Chris Harris on Cars Channel. He did a video with it way before new top gear. And it's Matt Leblanc not Chris Leblanc
Oops, my bad.
His hood drawstrings floating under braking at 4:42 👌
Nice !
These videos need to be twice as long, we need more Harris!!
Loved Top Gear with the three amigos. They made the show adventurous. But Chris Harris is far better at reviewing cars than either of them. He should have top gear all to himself.
Meade77 top hear was more than car reviews! Don’t you see that? It was entertainment and laughs, doubt it’ll ever be matched certainly not bettered
More more more please lol! Love Chris Harris because he's not only a good car reviewer but man he can drive. Total package for car porn!
Blows my mind on the dislikes!
+Dustin Spencer Agreed on the dislike part. People are still salty over the Clarkson situation and can't enjoy good content from Harris because of it. Pitiful.
wow people just hating on chris i guess that the price of fame.
+Dustin Spencer Clarkson's gang made Top Gear a great TV show, and it will take time for people to understand it is over. As much as it was a great TV show, it became a show for the people, not only for car guys, with less reall testing and evaluating, and more scripted scene.
I follow Chris Harris since the days he was an Autocar magazine journalist, and I was so glad to know he joins Top Gear. He is just the right man for the job. A knowledgeable driver who can translate what he feels to words. I really love him, he will do great!
Chris is legend and best car reviewer/presenter, you cannot be a true car fan if you don't know who he is and appreciate his work and style. These haters are just ridiculous and have no clue
Dream car. Absolute dream. My favorite Ferrari model of all time and it's not even close.
Dear BBC,
Please take notice of what I am about to say, because it couldn't be a more genuine and thought-through opinion than it's about to be. If you plan on restructuring Top Gear once more, please highly take into consideration the following trio of presenters; *Chris Harris* , *Tiff Needell* , and *Matt Farah* . For all the reasons why fans enjoy Mr. Harris, is the same reason people enjoy Tiff and Matt. They are die-hard automotive enthusiasts, who have a fantastic entertaining and confident camera presence.

*Chris Harris* - *Tiff Needell* - *Matt Farah* - All 3 automotive journalists, professional presenters, and fan favorites.
chris and tiff, totally agree, im not sure if the British would want one of us americans on the show, although i personaly like matt's content
danknasty661
Well, they did try Matt LeBlanc, right? And although he wasn't bad, I'd argue Matt Farah could possibly do even better.
enigmaPL thats true, although they can avoid the 3 person group and just have both matts on at the same time
No Tiff.... Please no Tiff. Alex Goy.... Chris Harris and Derek D(Fast Lane Daily)
Dean S
You say no to Tiff, a proven presenter with experience and fan favorite, who is as passionate about cars as he is good at driving them, having been a racing driver himself, then follow up by giving two of the worst examples imaginable. The idea is to have Top Gear attain its gold standard once again, not run it further into the ground.
The TDF may be my favorite Ferrari at the moment, the unique and aggressive styling, and the absolutely insane power, combined with all the performance is incredible. I wish I had the chance to play with one, hell I'm lucky I've seen so many at this point.
6:22 - that is beautiful!
I remember the 599 gto and now a f12 tdf in the same place, same person wow and very recently the new 812VS time is really flying. Greetings from 2021
Chris gives a balanced and unbiased review every time . I think he is one of if not the best at what he does.
Chris should have been the main face of Top Gear rather than Chris Evans and Matt Le Blanc.
what about Lex Steele?
Totally agree.
simon t No
Then every post 2002 fangirl would have bitched about not knowing where the clutch is and stopped watching.
For God's sake; stop hating. Chris Harris is youtube's greatest car reviewer.
Give him a damn chance.
6:23 the best part
Absolute legend this guy. Watched him way before top gear and he's always so awesome to watch, such a passionate talented driver who talks cars in real terms!
This is definitely one of my favorite Chris Harris videos. He did an absolute fantastic job of presenting the TDF factually without making it sound boring. His genuine excitement for this Ferrari really made me get into it too! Well done Mr. Harris. He has fantastic presentation skills, and a style that I felt the recent Top Gear with Mr. Clarkson was starting to shy away from in favor of more explosions. Clarkson is a fantastic presenter as well but I admire Harris' ability to let his genuine side through.
The only genuine car guy in the new top gear! Salute to Chris Harris!
I used to watch Chris Harris on TH-cam before he started working on Top Gear, was always amazed by his work. Not surprised that no one other than him had what it took to revive this show.
I love seeing the drawstrings on his hoodie almost get horizontal under braking!
Chris Harris is the real deal. No fakeness or BS, just passion
I love this program!! The cinematography has always been great but to be able to translate emotion is amazing. Well done Chris i felt like i was in the passenger seat
Chris Harris gets so involved with every car he test. He quite the accomplished driver and he still has a bit of anxiety while driving this "explosive" Ferrari. Take note of the glowing front rotor @ 6min 21sec. This is truly another AWESOME Ferrari, Well done Chris!
I think it's being filmed by Chris Harris' camera crew!
Yes it's being filmed and edited by Neil.
Superb skills.
glad to see Neil is there too, they should just do a TV version of chris harris on cars, that would be better
Yep the same 2 man crew.
I actually thought it's a "Chris Harris on Cars" video until I looked at the channel. Glad he was allowed to bring over his own style of making videos. Love the "old" Top Gear and the boys, love Chris Harris and his amazing videos.
Every damn time I saw this car, I just wanna cry knowing the fact that I can't even own one, I'm not even a Ferrari fan, but the F12 and the TDF just owns a special place in my heart
Exactly the same
As me
I love how this version of the f12 tdf review has more views then the classic top gear style one. this is so much better than the other one coz it's informative and entertaining at the same time and Chris Harris is a pro race driver who can really appreciate the tech and development that goes into the cars he drives. man I wish I could drive like him when I'm a bit older (I am 17) and able to drive cars that are even slightly close to the tdf and even own my supercar.
This guy is actually a car nut and appreciates the art, even though he's no Clarkson trio, he's definitely has his own style
Saw an F12 tdf a few years ago when I visited the Ferrari dealership close to my house. It’s smaller than I thought it was going to be.
But the second hand price wasn’t smaller.
6:22 That shot was amazing! Great super car. Good job Chris.
The old guys where the absolute goats but i love chris harris as well he still kinda has the top gear vibe
Chris, Rory, Matt and Sabine. top gear lineup sorted.
^^^^
You forgot about the stig
Matt *is* the Stig. #duh :P
Sabine seems more suited as an infrequent guest than a presentor to me. Perhaps of track tester for sensible cars people actually drive. She sets the 'ring time so others don't have to (die trying).
Sabine is just useless to me. Even Matt is pointless.
Chris, Rory and Eddie Jordan (/Tiff Needell). That's it.
Even today this is the ultimate driving machine, absolute beast, hard to drive, crazy agility and it sounds brutal... this is the way to make a Supercar... not a friendly track car with massive grip and handling... A monster car... Good job Ferrari
This video is perfect, takes me back to your DRIVE days ,please keep them coming.
It's been so long since Chris Harris has been tearing up my screens properly. This is how you drive. This is how you present top gear, and THIS is one hell of car. Great video! Keep them coming
I'm in love with F12
Chris' best yet. The strings of his hoody floating in air when he decelerates, the cameras showing the underbody diffusers and glowing brakes, the outrageous descriptions...
Outstanding.
CHRIS HARRIS is the only man that can resurrect top gear keep them coming
Chris Harris is great, this car looks a lot like an Italian C7 Vette though, i'd love to drive one! 780hp? jeeeesh
I second that. When you look at it from the front, it almost looks like the vette!
Except this is based on an F12, which came out before the Vette.
Actually the C7 copied this......
yeah i think its the other way around bud, corvette are the copiers lol
Plus it's corvette yellow
my favorite person to do reviews and this is probably my favorite of all. Thank you Chris
I discovered Chris Harris on TH-cam years ago and he is just like that one good buddy of yours that is really into cars, you could see the enthusiasm in his expression and you can't help but be sucked into the swirl as well. Cheers to Chris, oh, and the side profile of this Ferrari looks like a Corvette.
You don't need click bait like "INSANE!" when it's a Chris Harris video.
I love Chris's reviews and his enthusiasm. He can speak to the technical and the layman's. Brilliant.
Can't wait to see what Ferrari is doing next... They promised 1 more gen with pure v12
But that car is crazy, how can they evolve this farther?
enter: 812
Enter: 812 competizione. Though in actual fact I reckon the TDF trumps it in every aspect
French Ferrari fan almost fluent in English and just wanted to say I love the way he talks about that car which is one of my all-time favorite. Just liked the way he shows how surprised he was by the car
Berlinetta was always my favorite....now it's on steroids!
I never really liked the F12 Berlinetta. It looks good, but I never liked the way it looks. But once they're on steroids, damn....
As someone who has been watching Chris's videos for a while, I couldn't be happier to see him on Top Gear! Not many that can review cars like he can. Hopefully people who haven't heard of him before are willing to accept him instead of hate.
so BBC took Chris Harris on Cars and slapped a top gear logo on it??
Just wow! When you join these two monsters (Chris and TDF), miracles happen! TDF is just brutal, savage beast, love it, one of favorite supercars/hypercars these days. Fantastic job Chris, as always!
"It isn't so much a car as it is a Class A Substance." hahaha
I love the camera angle from inside the car, it really shows a great perspective! Love it
Chris is good..but no one can replace Jezza,Hamster and Captain Slow...or Mr Slowly..
preach
you.....must.....LET GO & move the (cuss) on already!
Harris's not going to replace. He's going to evolve. More tech, more specific, definitely more cutting edge driving. Same passion, less sarcasm, not without.
Just an example: The Stig is outdated with him.
you mean Captain Sense of Direction?
duh... every individual is irreplacable
Just discovered this, great to see you guys are presenting Harris in the manner in which he comes across well. How could we be not enjoying wonderfully ludicrous machinery being shown as we'd all like to drive them ourselves. Thankyou for bringing the fun of driving back to Top Gear. More please. Good luck BBC
Who else ON THE PLANET can drive while reviewing a car better than Chris? It cannot be done.
We don't reside on a planet Usman, catch up already ))
I love Chris Harris. I'm so glad his with Top Gear now. I signed up for Amazon to watch The Grand Tour with Clarkson, Hammond, and May. But now I know I can watch some parts of Top Gear too.
Is the background music one-off or does anyone recognize the artist?
It's by a guy called Dan Brown (Twitter here: twitter.com/DanBrownMusic) .. confirmed it in a tweet to me. Trying to find out from him if it's available to buy anywhere!
Coincidentally he just replied and, for licensing reasons, it's not available anywhere else :( Damn.
Wow, to hear Chris flabbergasted this way shoes how wild this machine is. This is the first time I've seen not not be able to grab something by the scruff of its neck and make it his.
does this look kind of like a corvette to anyone else?
i thought so too
Well the F12 came out before the new corvette, and this is based on the F12, so the corvette looks like this.
Yep just what I thought them day time running lights and front end
The Corvette is (or at least looks) shorter than the F12. The F12 has way more agressive body work, and is generally better lookng than the new corvette. Not that there is anything wrong with the C7, brilliant car, but it just dosn't look as good as its predecessors.
I really wish i didnt watch this video bcus now i want to trade mine in for that. I just keep telling myself , insurance costs maintenance costs.
Can we take a minute to appreciate just how incredible that monologue was while driving nearly flat out at times? Simply phenomenal Harris
Why on earth cant Chris Harris be lead presenter. viewings will treble for TG.
It's great to have you back Chris!...Godspeed!
2024 anyone?
Probably the best test video on TH-cam. Im coming back to watch this video every 2 months!!!
TD stands for Turbo Diesel?
TDF stands for Tour De France, referring to an old Ferrari GT car with the same name.
Now we are all waiting for GT TDF, GTS TDF, GTRSTDF speciale corsa...
***** It never ends does it.
The video work deserves more credit. This guy is top notch with the angle of his shots and the editing. Perfect music too.
What's not to like about this review? So much negativity... :/
It's not only about the previous entertaining but practical hosts. Top gear special effects, the way they use to film and present, like you watch McLaren p1 (the widowmaker), F12 berlinetta, Lamborghini Huracan and many more... the way they filmed, presented, and introduced them to us. You dont see that much that high end stuff and creativity now. It's very simple and straightforward now. For eg. This is the new Ferrari and here are the numbers.
We don't ONLY watch the show for cars (bitter truth) we also watch it for fun. The factor or factors which use to bind ourselves to our couch while watching top gear is or are MISSING.
You dont see that much creativity now*
This is fun because you got an actual driver talking, whereas Top Gear apparently forced their knowledgeable and competent driver to permanent silence and if he spoke they killed him.
"Befuttled....."
All the great cars are sold out!
The Alpha and Omega. What a Machine. What's the music? Just beautiful
Chris is definitely more informative , but the clarkson gang is more entertaining by a landslide !
TDF = To Die For...bc that's exactly what I would do for one of these lol. And yes Chris Harris needs his own show. My love for Top Gear has since waned but if he was slated as the new host I would absolutely resume watching!! Sent from Maryland, USA!!
so they built a corvette. and it looks like a vet.
f12 was before c7 vette
+David Fuller first public renderings were in 2009. first test cars where on the track and some roads in mid 2012 then the public release was December 2012. so the designers got to see it 3 years before ferrari pushed it's drawing in 2011 then public viewing of concept in 2012. www.corvetteblog.com/2007/06/corvettes-of-the-future-artist-renderings-of-c7-corvette/
Yeah.
Because the F12 got out of bloody nowhere, from a complete vacuum in 2012 right?
Ferrari didn't do years of study and design work before actually starting to shape metal into the first prototypes right?
Just because Chevrolet is more loud when it comes to "building hype" about their car doesn't mean their design is "more original".
In fact, seeing as all Ferrari GT's basically take design-cues from the early Ferrari 166 Inter (from 1948, which is a good 5 years before there even was a Corvette) I'd say the Corvette always was, and always will be a cheap knockoff Ferrari.
+ShadowFalcon
Can you imagine the first time a Ferrari owner hears "is that the new vett"?
Would you be happy to know people are comparing your ridiculously expensive Ferrari to a $50,000 Corvette that all the Ferrari fan boys say is a plastic crap car?
That would make me happy to know I'm being compared To the mere common man's car even though I just spent more than twice the average cost of an America home On a "unique" "rare" supercar.
+ShadowFalcon I'm sure the Ferrari owner will be pleased to stand there and tell him about who released the plans for their car first and that the Ferrari is really not a Corvette copy. I'm sure that's exactly what he wants to do when he pulls up in his new shiny Corvette, I mean Ferrari.
I love how the drawstrings on your hoodie are pulled forward and up when you brake. It's a fun indicator of braking G forces.
It looks like a corvette anywhere except from behind
Or maybe the Corvette looks like a Ferrari since the F12 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2012.
Kurosaki990Ichigo nah it just has that shape the corvette has had for the last decade
It has the same general shape all Ferrari GTs have had since the 1950s.
and the back of it looks like a Zenvo ST1.
Not a real fan of the design of this car...F12, much BETTER "Italian looking machine"
Syn Stilo no corvette looks like the f12
What a scene 6:21 those huge brakes on red !!!! Awesome review
I like Chris, he is good reviewer, but he misses the good old TG style...
he has his own style I guess
+Andeng Alvarez Yes, and his style is good, but the truth is that it is way different than the classic TG style. If the Top Gear and Extra Gear wouldn't have the TG names (and in case of TG, not EG) and they wouldn't be trying to be like the old trio.
SVOKRAplays yeah I absolutely AGree there. Sadly, BBC owns the copyright of TG but look at what happened, it backfired catastrophically.
+TRAV HEX Yes, you're right. But the TG got famous because of the amazing humor and crazy roadtrips. That's what BBC wants to keep alive with Evans. But they failed... how 'surprising'...
+TRAV HEX Nicely said :)
Wow Chris Harris on BBC just brilliant, soundtrack and cutscene just amazing, Good work Top Gear
Jeremy where are you :( ?
Saw a red one of these today parked in a garage near a dark metallic grey La Ferrari. First one (of either) I've seen in the flesh. Pretty nice.
This car is ugly. The regular F12 looks worlds better. Love Chris Harris. Obviously.
The Tdf looks miles better
Ugly? Search for Cristiano Ronaldos' new F12. That car is anything but ugly!
Lunchbox lmao ugly yet you can’t afford the irony my child
That video rocked more than most Chris....outstanding fun
Awesome boys... And wooohoo Neil is still there. Loving it. The show should be called "Chris drives by Neil" legendary pair of car guys.
Harris is whats keeping this show going .. I really like his scenes.
YES, this video is what I've been waiting for. Chris Harris is just for it! Please do make filming like this. This is why I DO Subscribe. LIKE IT A LOT.
Excellent excellent excellent review...this is the Devils machine....I love Chris Harris...the F12 is my dream car
