Harry walking through the Mansory stand has to be one of the best moments of Geneva 2019
"they are mating!"
It's like an old professor walking through a Drake concert.
Especially if you compare it to Shmee at the Mansory display.
'Mansory customers are reproducing', hahahaha Great commentary Harry as always, amazing insights that ALL the other hacks are too young to pick up on and remember.....Can't wait for more content!
You must enjoy the smell of rotten meat and sweat.
"This year shows some incredible revolutions in technology"
*Proceeds to spend most time looking at the first Zonda ever made...*
This is why I love Harry's channel haha
He used to own one. Bought a press car from them a few years ago.
@@deathqlutch He did! The C12S if I remember right. I do remember him writing in Evo magazine years ago that he drove it into a petrol station and a passer by came to look at it and said "I've never seen a Noble in person before". He just laughed and drove off...
JDStone Creations Correct, originally the car was a C12 and the only RHD C12, it was upgraded to S7.0 in 2001 by its first owner. Harry then Sold it to Andy who had it upgraded to S7.3 with a Zonda F front and the whole car was repainted with CF on the front bonnet. Andy sold it a couple of years ago and the new owner had the Exhaust and interior changed, its frequently spotted in London.
Great to hear some sense talked about crass, tasteless Mansory. Thank you. They have raised naff to another level.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything positive about any of their cars. How they are still in business must be the biggest mystery of the car world.
@@Speednote10 Pro Footballers.
@Papa Dragon That comparison is kind of a stretch though
@Papa Dragon The problem with having bad taste is it's a form of Dunning-Kruger, you don't even realise you have bad taste, because if you did realise it, you would change.
srfu idiot Manosry builds them for gypsies
Its really funny how Harry seems to be suffering through the Mansory stand.
Britain car industry betrayed by the globalist, same as the empire.
How do they still exist!
@@domdegood5376 Yeh , no. You need to read a history book instead of listening to bloviating gammon faced liars like Farage and Mogg. The empire was on its last legs post ww2 , UK was broke , Iran kicked us out of its oil fields. USA did lend/lease and in exchange WE GAVE UP THE EMPIRE WILLINGLY. Globalists did nothing. The UK.GOV did it. Christ you lot are insufferable MAAAH SOVEREIGNTY *Cries*. Grow up. Thatcher sold this country out in the 80's when she sold all the national industries to European countries and moved things like Steel manufacturing to China. You reap what you sow. Our own country destroyed the UK not the 'globalists' or the fucking EU. Why do you think they are so happy to see us go? We've been a thorn in the EU's side since signing up there is a very good reason De Gaulle never wanted the UK to join the EU. He understood our 'Island mentality'. We killed our own country and are still blaming everyone else. It would be hilarious if it wasn't for jingoistic smooth brained idiots like yourself weren't still around crying like little girls about everything to remind us how fucking tragic it all is.
Who wouldn't? They are putrid
I'm glad to see Harry giving mansory the treatment they deserve. A lot of young car youtubers are fascinated by those polished turds. The expensive crocodile dashboard will sure look nice after 1 year of sunlight in dubai lol
Mansory clients are breeding 😂
Crying with laughter lol :)
Clocked that as well... Genuine LOL.
It's not like I've ever seen a Mansory car on the road but still hoping their offspring will have a better taste in cars... And jackets.
are you saying someday the market could sustain a competitor to Mansory someday soon?
It did actually make me chuckle out loud.
Harry is pure gold. Excellent comments, no clickbaits, no showoff. Has a lot of experience, has owned a lot of cars, has a lot of money, but is very 'down to earth guy'. I really enjoy this... I think he should get a segment in Top Gear or Grand Tour. It would be great. Harry is a true petrolhead, he has a lot of love for cars and also, I usually agree with most of his comments. He's not afraid to say something bad about a car, same as Jeremy clarkson.
I agree...Top Gear can't really be described as a programme for motoring enthusiast anymore, when they start smashing up Silver Shadows nearly 40 years after they went out of production, I nearly wept. What shit TV.
Yea but he kept the Fiat girls in frame when talking about their new electric.
Even at a distance they are more interesting than the dull car.
Harry is a passionate car lover...I absolutely love his videos...the best...
His countach and testarossa were on the grand tour
"They're breeding!" Harry on Mansory cars always makes me laugh hard.
I hope it doesn't include that crocodile psycho!
What bothers me about many of the cars is how the doors open in such a fashion that if it is raining, the rain pours onto the seats. YUCK.
"I think it's a face that only his mother could love" 😂
Isn't this the BMW policy, ugly cars only?
Daniël Devadder I think BMW must have hired up all of the out-of-work designers that had worked at GM's Pontiac division. Woof!
Please keep calling it the Valorkie. It makes me laugh every time.
I totally missed this joke. Care to elaborate?
@@DavidS997 It's called the Valkyrie not valokrie or whatever Harry was saying 😂😂
@@matmul4850 thanks :)
My first thought: what, has Aston Martin released _yet another_ hypercar after the Vulcan and the Valkyrie?!
@@KryzMasta Two
You should NEVER apologize for a long video....!!!!! Just give us a hole lot more..... keep it up, the good work. 😉🚗🚘
YES! A lot more holes please.
Valorkie and high bred ha ha. Harry has to be trolling us by now.
He's old.take it easy on him.😀
OMG Valorkie cracked me up. Tietinium always makes me chuckle too. Man I love Harry!
Everytime he tries to say Valkyrie, he says a completely different word lol
"Mansory customers! They're breeding!" I had to play it again, brilliant! LMAO :)
Best Mansory coverage ever
36:49 "Mansory customers. They`re breeding."
Favourite line of the show.
Harry on the Mansory stand is quickly becoming one of the highlights of my year.
The framing of the shot on the Fiat Panda around 42:30 or so seems to indicate Mr. Metcalfe shares my appreciation of the left lady with orange sneakers...
They were both cute.
@@suspicionofdeceit Yes they were.
lmao
Thanks Harry. I can't imagine anyone worth their salt needs an apology for a long video. Personally I saw the video length and smiled. I find your enthusiasm and expertise infectious and the fact you take as much care with a Panda, and take time to assess its development, as you do with a Bugatti is testament to your journalistic integrity and will keep us all watching. Another thumbs up for blue velour! Many thanks as ever.
By far my favourite take on the Geneva show
Apologize? I wish your videos were 5 hours long man. #LongLiveHarry
There is some incredible machinery in Geneva this year. When I was a kid, any supercar that had over 400bhp was considered incredibly powerful. Now though most big saloon cars have that, and supercars are now hypercars with well over 1000bhp! It’s just crazy. However, those Mansory creations are awful! It’s true what they say that you can’t buy good taste.
Harry talking about the Zonda, You can clearly tell he's missing his alot. Excellent video as always Harry
@ray h. Yeah man how dare he sell something he owns, god can you believe the greed of doing what you want with your own possessions
Watching a new Harry’s Garage video with my coffee. Life is good
Thanks Harry. Best review of Geneva by far. Schmee, JWW should watch and learn. We want content not thinly veiled advertising.
Shmee is just a beginner in this world of automotive journalism, Harry is a time served veteran. Shmee has to be careful what he says as to not piss off any future potential. Harry has done all that and doesn't give a damn, says it how he see's it.
The Mansory bit is priceless comedy. Harry's appreciation is spot on,
Many thanks for the content and the laughs, bleak times ahead and I'm glad to have had the chance to drive in the previous era of motoring.
The Peugeot concept car was the star . sublime design references . the interior had the look of a Lancia Gamma ! spectacular body !!
Bit of Fiat 130 Coupe too
👍
No apologies for 40m videos! Yours is the only Geneva video I've watched, love how it feels like I'm walking round with a friend and chatting about it all. Cracking stuff as always.
Your reaction to the appalling Mansory stand was pure entertainment
Love the Mansory comments.
The first journalist to bring to life in the changes that are coming in the next few years as a result of the emissions legislation. Probably like many, I had assumed the first big hit would be for big engines but he is right, it is the small engined stuff, a lot of it fantastic fun to buzz around in, that forms the bulk of the sales volume and therefore the obvious choice to go first to get the fleet volume average down. Great insight.
Plus the annual pilgramage to Mansory - I suspect Mansory wait with baited breath for this video to be released - if Harry is disgusted they know their customer base will lap it up - they must dread the day Harry says that something on the stand is tasteful, that is the point their business collapses!
the irony is when global warming is exposed as a hoax all these companies will go broke.
Harry, again you make my favourite round-up videos. Your ability to put the product offerings into perspective vis-a-vis emission requirements is something your peers don't even mention. Your journalist pedigree shines through. Love this video.
Great vid Harry.
We are allowing govs to dictate the tech that is being sold, instead of allowing the companies sell what the market wants. Everything electric, all controls electrically actuated and a permanent remote data connection thanks to eCall/OnStar. You don't need to work in software or be paranoid to see where it's going...
47 minutes or 47 hours, can't get enough, just keep them coming! Superb as always.
Watching you from Indianapolis. Thank you for calling it for what it is, SUV, Electric nuts! You're so right about the battery technology, It's not there yet! I still want the freedom of a gasoline engine. Thanks for keeping it "Real"
Harry’s is the only version of this years Geneva Motorshow I’ve been looking forward too. Pretty sure I’ll be watching this over and over again. Great job Harry
Knowledgeable and genuine commentary on the Geneva show, really refreshing to watch and listen to. Chapeau Harry.
Geneva 2020: "Harry Von Evo", Senior Brand Ambassador, Mansory Ltd.
The Pininfarina is the star of the show. All the taste and elegance that Mansory customers would never understand.
It looks like a leftovers from Ferrari Sergio. I would not be so sure.
copy of 720s with ferrari parts
@@eedesign878 LOL shallow much. It's actually based on the Rimac C_Two. Coach Built by Pininfarina who did Sergio. Applying the Sergio bold front to the aggressiveness of Rimac C_Two chassis worked realy well.
HermanHjorth
WTF its nothing like the 720s, note it's lack of door tunnel.
Love the depth of knowledge and the value added with Harry's videos. Extra facts and specifics really add to the experience of the walkthrough!
Thank you, Harry. Superb tour. Always great accompanying you.
"someone with kids, apParently" I giggled, I'm sorry :')
I was waiting for this! Great job Harry.
Best auto show coverage I've ever seen. Dripping with honesty. Thank you
Terrific. Could listen to dear old Harry all day. One of the best Petrol Heads I've ever had the pleasure of listening too. His knowledge and delivery is so easy to take in.
Excellent video framing on the Fiat stand keeping those girls in shot the entire time.
LMAO, the Mansory stand got exactly the reaction we were looking for 😂😂😂
Many thanks for your in-depth review of the Geneva show and also for the remarks about both BMW and Mansory.
Great video Harry. Thank you for the education and your perspective on the electrification of the industry and what that means for us.
"Mansory customers, they're breeding(!)"
Oh man... That early Zonda C12. I remember the first time I saw that car on a magazine and ogling over it... One of the most beautiful hipercars of these last 20 years. I'd wish they restore this one with the split wing too, I loved that detail.
Thank you Harry, your depth of knowledge of the motor industry and regulations is really informative.
Such a great Channel, His talk on the Mansory stand is probably the best thing ever to have been put on TH-cam
I can't get that carbon Keonigsegg out of my head. Also, this is the first time I've ever considered the amount of property tax a car would incur.
Fabulous video Harry - never apologise about making a long production - enjoyed every second of it!
Please NEVER apologise for 40 min videos.. luv em... and keep em coming.. the longer the better.
Having been to the show for the first time this year it was great to see this video and to compare notes. 40 minutes was just fine.
Mansory...dealers to pimps. Also, don't apologise for it being a 40 minute vid...still high quality content and that's what counts.
Thanks for the tour, keep making those gems! I really love your videos, Harry; but sometimes is quite hard to hear your voice clearly, you really need a better microphone, man.
I just LOVE Harry!!! He’s the official grandfather of the car industry. He was there at the start, the middle... ”evo mag days” and he’s here now and i’m loving it! Whatever Harry says is Gospel in my eyes and it should be in all of yours as well! The man is a Hero 👏👏
Thanks for taking us Harry
Great review Harry thanks. So sad what EU7 will do. Buy the great cars quick. I will be.
True but with hybridisation we'll still have V8s for a while longer. AMGs future V8 Hybrid powertrain is rumoured to be sold from 2020 onwards. Lots of other manufactures are working on V8 Hybrids too. Lamborghini's geo said they are working on a V10 Hybrid powertrain too. So long as manufactures can keep the fleet emissions down (through hybridisations and EVs), we'll still have some nice engines around (for a while). Also didn't Christian von Koenigsegg state that the V8 in the Jesko will be homologated until 2026 (and that's pre hybridisation).
@@DanielSadjadian I think it's just a shame that so much weight, cost and complexity will be added to cars just to meet some EU regs. You only have to look at the number of £1k Priuses out there with dud batteries to see its all eco nonsense really. The batteries cost more to replace than the cars are worth. Great for new car sales I guesd is the thinking. But good for the planet? No.
@@richardcarter1000 Very true, it sucks. I also would much prefer a a light weight sports car with a V8 and proper driving dynamics. Although with extensive use of carbon fiber, the body weight of future Hybrids can be kept down (despite the weight of the batteries). For car enthusiasts I think the negative will be that we'll have less overall choice, but on the positive side of things, we'll have more powerful/advanced cars in the little choice we get.
@@DanielSadjadian Indeed. I guess the model is you basically rent/hire all cars in future due to the ever shorter lifecycles and they are 'recycled' after a few years. Pure EVs will work in towns if you have somewhere off road to plug them in overnight.
It's a good thing. EU7 doesn't care whether you hybridize, they just care about emissions, so manufacturers will have to curb them in a variety of ways, from making cars much lighter, decreasing drag coefficients and yes, hybridizing. But what's wrong with that? You get better acceleration and better use of energy. Currently we use only a fourth of the power available in gasoline, so it's good manufacturers are pushed to increase that number.
24:38 Harry being a badass still pronouncing it as 'Va-lor-key' instead of 'Val-kyree' 🤣
I was at Geneva when Pagani started. Still can remember it and i think Ian Kuah took amazing pictures of it. - Feeling old now ... but happy. Brilliant Content again. Can`t wait for the next Video.
Always look forward to Harry's Geneva round-up. Can't imagine that changing.
Harry is the very best 😎👍🏻❤️ Gentleman
I think we'll still see V8s for a while longer. AMG are working on their own V8 Hybrid powertrain, Lamborghini CEO has said that they're working on V12/V10 Hybrids, Ferrari are rumoured to be launching a V8 Hybrid model later this year, etc.... With hybridisation and low end EV models, manufactures will be able to keep the V8 around and reduce their fleet emissions. Also didn't Christian von Koenigsegg state that the V8 in the Jesko will be homologated until 2026 (and that's pre hybridisation).
Only because Koenigsegg get dispensation for being a small volume producer. That goes in 2028..
@Henry_b According to them this is the last purely petrol powered koenigsegg ever made. In the future it will be electric and hybrid.
@Henry_b I strongly disagree with the character thing, but ok. I think most of the character comes from how the car drives, the engine is only a part of that. Handling is also extremely important.
@Henry_b You only expect it because you are so used to it.
Such a great tour, Harry. Thank you!
The coolest event of a lifetime delivered by the coolest guy
Harry, I think I just saw your testarossoa and countach driven by some other folks on Amazon ;)
No apologies needed Harry.....47 minutes is not long enough!!!!!!
Hi Harry, I enjoyed your review of the motor show. I did chuckle when you ventured on to the Mansory stand.......classic! All in all a good and frank review which is what we all enjoy: keep up the good work buddy!
Harry's video of Geneva is finally here! Man I always waits for your impressions each year
peugeot seems to be in the right direction!
That Ginetta road car engine looks very much like a modern chevrolet smallblock V8. Block was billett though.
I could watch Harrys Garage all day, the best reviewer on the internet
Absolutely SAVAGE comments from Harry at the Mansory stand... Shots fired.
Bravo my man.
the new regulations will overwhelmingly discriminate against poor people in rural areas who totally rely on small petrol engined cars. it is precisely BECAUSE we are in the EU that Far Eastern manufacturers are pulling out of Britain
These "concept cars" have pretty much looked the same for like 15-20 years now.
That is the problem with so-called "wind tunnel" design. It has killed artistic creativity in favor of reduced drag.
Skipped all the other Geneva videos in anticipation of this one! Love your work Harry
... a precise and concise look at the Geneva motorshow... bravo!
Great video Harry! However I'll stick with my 1995 Fiesta!
Great stuff Harry 🙂
Really enjoyed walking with you through the show.
🇬🇧
Thanks for this, a thoroughly enjoyable round-up.
Loving all the electrification and hybridisation at the show this year ✌️✌️
If they kicked the clowns off Top Gear and replaced them with Harry i would start watching it again.
Top Gear has gone corporate.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 My main problem with it is just the lack of chemistry between the presenters, i almost feel embarrassed watching it, did one episode of new series but won't watch another.
@@martj1313 This happens all the time to shows when they have a crisis and lose someone. Chemistry is something that just happens, it is like fate.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 I agree, you can't force it or it just seems awkward.
Harry's videos - and his expert car enthusiast's knowledge and commentary - is SO good. Don't apologise for your video lengths, Harry - your videos are excellent. Many thanks.
Thanks Harry. Great video and yes the Mansory walk-thru was hilarious
That BMW looks hideous.
It's bloody awful eh.
Yes, the rear end looks nice, but what did they do with that grille? :( I hope there will be some aftermarket solution to this one.
And I thought the Bangle years were the worst for BMW design. They have to take their investment out of their Xanzucheun Design Haus
it looks like it's really trying to smell you
They all are. Or boring.
So Tesla expects a typical supercharging stop to take 15 minutes with the V3 chargers (around 30 min right now). Not sure how that would be a problem in a road trip scenario, keeping in mind that most people charge overnight at home and as a result start out every day with a full battery, i.e. you'll almost never have to go out of your way to get more fuel/electrons in day to day use.
Mouching around town in the wifes Tesla in traffic is great. But you have to drive like you have an egg under the gas if you are on the open road. A passing or hilly section and it eats half the battery. Our old B8 RS4 V8 was less of a hassle planning a journey
@@fraserwright9482 No, that's not correct. Tesla's range is measured on the same driving cycle as any other car. So the question is just 1: is the range enough to get through a normal day? And 2: is 15-30 minutes quick enough for a charging stop on a road trip? The answer to both of These questions is yes, for a large majority of users.
I could listen to a whole podcast of Harry just describing Mansory cars. Love you, sir.
I look forward to your Geneva video every year and this lived up to the hype superbly. Great video. I'd love to see longer videos from you more often, in particular the silverstone auctions videos. At this point I'd say you are without peer in terms of car based TH-cam content. James might get the scoop on new stuff but I much prefer your approach to the whole thing. This is the sort of stuff you can pour a big tumbler of something strong to and enjoy.
Ginetta engine looks suspiciously like an old corvette LS. Maybe they purchased the rights and blueprints and then tweeked it?!
What I learned: Buy an Up! GTI in manual, keep it forever.
It's such a shame that because of these new rules small cheap petrol cars will come to an end. I've just driven my Up Gti from London to Geneva, something I doubt will be possible in a small electric car. The Up Gti can cruise all day long at 90mph yet return a true 50 mpg and yet this will soon be outlawed and replaced with an electric car that will be outdated as quickly as a mobile phone due to technology advancements. This will invariably lead to far more damage to the environment as these cars are discarded and replaced far more frequently than conventional ICE cars.
Michael Ptohopoulos You do have a fair point but what happens when we do get the advancements in electric vehicles that will far surpass efficiency of an ICE? That may come in only 5 to 10 years, I don’t know how they will compare that time but food for thought.
Don't apologise Harry, you are an absolute legend. Watched it from start to finish 👊
I went to the show on Monday and still couldn't wait to see Harry's coverage. Excellent job, as always. It's not an easy job to summarize something this immense. My only gripe is that I found plenty new to see at the BMW stand: X5, X7, face-lifted 7 series and more. And it's worth noting that I found the massive kidneys on the X7, and especially the 7 series, much more flattering in person. I almost lost my lunch when I first saw images of the new grills but they are imposing and actually attractive when they're right in front of you.
Maybe i'm a cynic, but "Ginetta's own V8" looks suspiciously close to an Chevrolet LS
Exactly what i thought........heads look identical 🤔
Seems like someone copied their homework.
If you'e gonna copy something, why not go for an LS? Compact, lightweight, and power dense.
@@VAspeed3 It's also a dated, inefficient, slow- and low-revving, lazy engine. You can only have two valves per cylinder, which is another big downside.
The LS is popular, because it's compact, cheap and relatively reliable power, but it's not the end-all of engine tech, fairly primitive in fact. It's fine for certain kinds of American sports cars and self-made projects that are more about the numbers than how the engine actually behaves in reality - power and torque numbers only tell part of the picture.
I think it has no place in a European super car.
@@no1DdC And yet it has outlived and outmiled almost anything else. Show me a "reliable" Italian or German 400+ hp car that can live to tell 100K on the odometer without mortgage-level "services". Yup, its pre-historical...but it has outlived all the "Flash in the pan" competition.
What did you make of Jaguars decision not to make an appearance this year?
They are broke.
Perhaps Jaguar did not want to experience the embarrassment of watching another great British brand, Aston Martin, devolving into building hideous play toys for the ultra rich.
thank you for reminding everyone how a car enthusiast should sound,finally!!👍👍
Mansory stand... "there's no escaping the bad taste"... absolutely hilarious!!!
