I'm sure he was really laying down the hammer hard between shots, but there's always chance that the longer route was less congested and was able to stay at highway speed longer than the more direct route. I'm from Virginia originally and now I reside in Pennsylvania and this is absolutely the case the way their highway system is laid out compared to the way it was in The Old Dominion.
Today, on Top Gear, we'll be racing from California to Florida, with a v10 F1 Car, a Nissan Leaf, and a surplus Russian Mig 29. Meanwhile, The Stig will be paddling a kayak from Cuba to Miami.
Anyone else impressed by how fast Hammond un-sabotaged that Viper? I wonder if it is either him genuinely being that tech-savvy or just that he knows the other two so well he can guess what theyve done haha.
mutilator97 Hey, it's much more refined than the old Vipers. Give Chrysler some credit on this one. Those Hellcats are nothing to sneeze at, either. Though those cars are nowhere near the level of the supercars in this video.
Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus I can't like dodges at all. If their cars don't have some BIG design flaw(exhaust pipes catching the car on fire for viper), they've got terrible handling(viper has both).
@@cliffordhn I don't think it was. If you listen closely at 3:01 you can hear the train horn pretty silently as the picture changes to jeremy in the car. And when the horn blows, in both shots, inside and outside the car, jeremy is speeding past the train. So i think they were the same moment shown from two angles.
Couldn't agree more. Perhaps they would be a boss where you get to race them. Or they could be a supporting character. Or they could give you a mission to gain money or something.
Yeah, that big lake (salton sea) is what the alamo sea in GTA V is based off of. And the highway Richard and James were driving on is what Joshua Rd (the road you are talking about) is based off
1:26 For anyone who doesn’t know, Jeremy Clarkson referenced the episode where Richard Hammond insulted the Mexicans and where Clarkson himself made a joke about the Mexican ambassador sleeping all day with the TV on.
And, TBH, they really crossed the line in that incident. Most of their jokes using national stereotyping go right up to the line, maybe pushing it a little, but don't go too far. The jokes about Mexicans were, to quote one observer, "as funny as a cold sweat and a sharp pain down your left arm."
Although Jeremy said he patched things up with the Mexican Ambassador, the citizens in the country of Mexico doesn’t know that they’re now on good terms. Plus Richard blew it for the trio by going too far and James and Jeremy were deeply annoyed and I would’ve done the same thing in sabotaging the Viper to slow him down.
I went on the 111 down to Bombay Beach with a friend after camping in Joshua Tree and it is a very unique drive with almost no one around. The amount of train traffic out there was absolutely incredible as well. I think Clarkson took the better route personally even if he had lost.
Did you hear one in real life? Only an idiot would say something like that without actually hearing the cars, especially in direct competition with the Carerra Gt.
Shafwan that’s not the point. Those people in the left lane are required to be aware of any vehicles approaching more quickly behind them and are supposed to move over to the right.
Top Gear must have a budget for speeding fines. And maybe some kickbacks to keep those points off Jeremy's licence. Every road trip he gets stopped by the rozzers for speeding or some other misdemeanour.
A GPS is good for finding out where you are, but if you want to see all the roads to your destination and which route to pick, a paper map is far superior. A GPS may know a route there, but it may not be the *best* route there.
No matter how many times I watch Top Gear videos, I will want to watch it again if I see it in my recommendations. Top Gear with the "Trio" was irresistible.
LFA project has have been developed from 10 years. 6 years tested on Nurburgring. V10 engine made by Yamaha, which is specialized with small, light sport motorcycle engines. It goes till 9 rpm ! V10 is the best combination of the power and sound. This is is a combination of Ferrari sound and motorcycle sound. Yamaha is an expert also to musician instruments so it has knowledge about sound technology. Engine reaction is so fast that only digit tachometer can follow it… To go to 9 000 rpm takes half second. It is the most expensive japan car in the history. Production only 500 cars.
"Yamaha is an expert also to musician instruments" I'm a musician, specifically a guitarist of 7 years, and I have to disagree. Yamaha instruments are sub-par to most other brands so I wouldn't call them "experts" they make good beginner to intermediate instruments, that's about it. To call them experts is to put them up there with the likes of legendary companies like Gibson USA or Steinway...
Fredrik Kalgren While i totally agree on the guitar front, I have also been playing 10 years, the keyboards that Yamaha produces are very decent for the money. I however am struggling to find the connection between the LFA's engine and Yamaha's keyboards. While they may be made by the same company, they are not made by the same group of people. Or the same division. Probably not in the same building. Possibly different countries. It does sound great, but i cannot agree with that information.
Fredrik Kalgren But is there any other engine company which has connection with musician instruments ? No. So this means Lexus has chosen the best experienced with sound manufacturer. They wanted to have complete masterpiece, even with such a detail like sound surrounding a driver.
I guess you can say that. I mean it's better approach than BMW's idea to make the M5 emit artificial engine noise into the cabin..as a BMW owner i always shake my head in shame at that idea. The LFA does sound a Formula 1 car and is the closest i ever heard a car get to one.
Calexico is my hometown, and I can't believe I didn't know they filmed here. Also, they parked the wrong way on that street before the border, it's one way. Hammond took the wrong way into Mexico that's only for cars.
I just cannot get over how amazing the LFA sounds. I'm impressed of how much the Viper has improved over the last generation. It's very dramatic and handsome looking, the interior is nice as well.
Yeah, I currently live in Calexico.. Damn I would've loved to seen them... I recongnize all the streets they drove on.. My favorite TV show in my unpopular city incredible...
akane742 Do you really see James or, in particular Jeremy, spending more than a few weeks in the states voluntarily?? I bet Hammond would love it though.

So Clarkson won despite taking the longer road and filling up?
I shall never underestimate the might of SPEED AND POWER!
yeah cheating helps a lot with any eventualities
Also, there’s hardly any traffic on that side of the Salton Sea.
Speed and power solves many things
Considering he did about 160mph on the road it seems believable

That’s the joke... because the speed limit is 55
True. Notice how the speed indicator is moving a little up and down relative to the rpm and gear indicator.
It’s simply just because they don’t want to “ self incriminate” them self’s. It’s a felony to be going that fast I’m sure.

The LFA Looks stunning
Doesn't it always. I absolutely hate that shade of yellow and somehow the lfa pulls it off
chillinxxpaki69 I am not a huge fan of the Lexus line up , but the LFA is truely a good car.
Joshua Moy True that
The lfa looks if pikachu turned into a car.
i like how they edited the speedo to 55 mph
No matter how many times I watch Top Gear videos, I will want to watch it again if I see it in my recommendations. Top Gear with the "Trio" was irresistible.
Funny the LFA's spoiler comes up at about 100kph (60mph for you Americans) and the editing made him look like he's going 55mph! Hah lol.
I believe it can be raised manually at any speed.. They could always find a way around the law ;)
Let's be honest with ourselves, off camera he opened it up.
it comes up at 50mph
eyeballs97 yes you're right sir
also, when Jeremy says "In fact at this point we all had the hammer down" I don't think that he's talking about going 55mph haha
6:47 that laugh lol
And the one in 7:15
LFA project has have been developed from 10 years. 6 years tested on Nurburgring. V10 engine made by Yamaha, which is specialized with small, light sport motorcycle engines. It goes till 9 rpm ! V10 is the best combination of the power and sound. This is is a combination of Ferrari sound and motorcycle sound. Yamaha is an expert also to musician instruments so it has knowledge about sound technology. Engine reaction is so fast that only digit tachometer can follow it… To go to 9 000 rpm takes half second. It is the most expensive japan car in the history. Production only 500 cars.
"Yamaha is an expert also to musician instruments" I'm a musician, specifically a guitarist of 7 years, and I have to disagree. Yamaha instruments are sub-par to most other brands so I wouldn't call them "experts" they make good beginner to intermediate instruments, that's about it. To call them experts is to put them up there with the likes of legendary companies like Gibson USA or Steinway...
Fredrik Kalgren While i totally agree on the guitar front, I have also been playing 10 years, the keyboards that Yamaha produces are very decent for the money. I however am struggling to find the connection between the LFA's engine and Yamaha's keyboards. While they may be made by the same company, they are not made by the same group of people. Or the same division. Probably not in the same building. Possibly different countries. It does sound great, but i cannot agree with that information.
Fredrik Kalgren
But is there any other engine company which has connection with musician instruments ? No. So this means Lexus has chosen the best experienced with sound manufacturer. They wanted to have complete masterpiece, even with such a detail like sound surrounding a driver.
I guess you can say that. I mean it's better approach than BMW's idea to make the M5 emit artificial engine noise into the cabin..as a BMW owner i always shake my head in shame at that idea. The LFA does sound a Formula 1 car and is the closest i ever heard a car get to one.
but its a piece of shit.....
7:40 when the teacher sends you to the other class to get a pen
Love the sound of the LFA brings back memories of Formula 1
Calexico is my hometown, and I can't believe I didn't know they filmed here. Also, they parked the wrong way on that street before the border, it's one way. Hammond took the wrong way into Mexico that's only for cars.
I live in El Centro and Calexico used to be my hometown I thought of the same thing that they went into a one way street hahah !
Probably because it's a show and he didn't actually cross the border
👍🏼
@@jasonbaylor9865 well he did
I really like the overtake scene between Jeremy and those Union Pacific SD70s. I think track speed on that stretch is about 70mph.
2:49 Fun Fact. Jeremy is where GTA is set. ‘Sandy Shores’ (Desert Shores) and the road next to the train line
The viper will always be one of my favorite cars!!
I just cannot get over how amazing the LFA sounds. I'm impressed of how much the Viper has improved over the last generation. It's very dramatic and handsome looking, the interior is nice as well.
6:18 Okay, I see you...
7:43 Hammond got what was coming to him, and Clarkson summed it up perfectly.
3:06 ahh yes the sweet sound of a K5LLA
Each of the shots of the speedometers cut at exactly 55 MPH. Clever.
Its a shame that this wonderful show ended. Like this was the best top gear by far
I still wake up and remember I am Mexican, and that makes me sad :(
For legal reasons, that's a joke.
cada dia, lo se
You should be greaseball
@@doujinshienjoyer5515 irony
No digas eso, te van a suicidar
you're a fucken clown
"...drank quite a lot of his Tequila, and all is well...
But the Mexicans don't know that..."
Why does the US flag on the map at 1:48 have 61 stars? Did we annex Canada or something?
I'm not saying it's aliens...
But it's aliens.
*aliens intensify*
How did you see that
@@expiredpancake8198 delete your comment -FBI
It's just a graphic.
I love how their cars arrived super clean while Hammond's Viper was leaving hotel dirty..
Never seen cartoons? If you go fast enough the dust and dirt will make an after image.
2008 : LFA overprice
2020 : People understand because the sound so beauty and the price go up to 100% from the normal price
The production year was actually 2012
i love how they edited it together so they dont ever go over 55mph...
clarkson: "OOOOOOH" *goes 55mph (lying)*
Hammond pulling up at the border and just saying “Oh God no!” kills me every time 😂😂
This show is the reason why i fell for the Aston Martin Vanquish
“I don't care if u won”
“Is it just you here”
**Santa laugh Intensifies**
**Hammond worrying noises**
"...but the Mexicans don't know that."
Mexicali native here. Oh we know. :D
Real sht though
Is this because of the car critic? (Mexican here)
@@carlosgonzalezguerra689 its because an episode when hammond talk shit about México
@@rodaccident what did the idiot say?
M. Luke a lot of shit bro there is a piece of that episode in TH-cam
"It's a bit like sending paddington bear into a mincing machine" wow... So true
Don't worry Hammond, those are U.S. police near the border. They're not looking for brits in sports cars.
Not police, U.S. Border Patrol
I remember thinking as a kid they were actually going 55mph for some daft reason
...and i found you again.
Welcome to Jezza
James May swerving at 5:14. Blaspheme
Mr. slow? Driving fast?
Left lane hogging. Blaspheme.
" The rozzers ( cops ) are right in front of me...nothing I can do. 40 mph, that's it. "
James, you're already known as Captain Slow.
Yeah, I currently live in Calexico.. Damn I would've loved to seen them... I recongnize all the streets they drove on.. My favorite TV show in my unpopular city incredible...
Whats it like
I like the 55mph speed limit part...
They even have video-proof that they dont break laws!!
In a LFA 4th gear at 9,000 rpm is 136 miles per hour. They were absolutely flying.
Lmao at 4:51 some girl in the gray car flicked him off Cx
great sighting mate!
PMSL both the driver and passenger!!!
They were flipping the camera guy for trying to take their soul :-3
Lol haha saw it!
Because Murica
6:48. Me when I realised series 4 was coming out 🤣
3:22 One of my favourite Top Gear shots ever. :)
He shouldn't have stopped at the dentist.
can we get rid of top gear usa and yall just come over more often please :)
Yes
***** I think the Australian one is okay.
Nick C.
Yes it is actually. Sorry to say but American one stinks..
I agree, totally . Bring the Brits over here. Unfortunately the BBC probably owns the rights to the TopGear name and all shows
akane742 Do you really see James or, in particular Jeremy, spending more than a few weeks in the states voluntarily?? I bet Hammond would love it though.
I think that the Aston Martin is the best looking car, but the LFA is more PowerFull... But the Viper is awesome to
only in the LFA can you top off at 55 mph at 9000 revs
That Vanquish and LFA are the two most beautiful cars ever made
I'm surprised Clarkson wasn't in the Aston Martin...
why? he's a big fan of LFA, he said that on many occasions. i think (not sure though) he sold his Ford GT and bought an LFA
vubevube Thats because his Ford GT kept breaking down. To be honest he made a good choice by selling it, lol.
TheMisterTibbles of course he did.
TheMisterTibbles not really, they sell for double what the msrp was for now.
NoobGainer Well hello Mr. AutoTrader...
"The speed at which the BBC fires you is astounding.... Faster than a Bugatti"
Lexus LFA is a beauty. Sounds incredible
Jeremy said its his fav car of all time.
Clarkson: I could get up to 55 mph
Also clarkson: Almost launches off of a slight bump in the road in the very next scene
