Seeing that Richard has gone through their extensive car tests himself, wouldn't that make him an certified VW car?

[@mdhcccc]

Lol

[@thfreakinacage]

Good point, I'd say he passed all of them. I assume he'd be a Polo? Because, you know, size :P

[@coffeeNTrees]

i bet he lies about his emissions to his wife.

[@Arsenic71]

No, he doesn't have an RFID tag!

[@Numbster]

Any video with Richard Hammond Is a good one

[@GB3770]

Dummies guide to school physics more like.

[@greentland]

"I'm really glad I ate all that sausage earlier." Best line he's ever said lol!

[@Under_Construction100]

3:26 Legend has it that the Hamster still hasn't managed to get his hand off the Van De Graaff generator.

[@strive_2_drive]

Geez ! It really does take a lot of effort to get that 'Check engine' light to turn ON.

[@acenanu121]

@6:08 my fav part of the video.

[@scottfromengland2303]

Was I the only 1 that flinched on *That Zap* as if it happened to me !! If you have ever been zapped you will know where I'm coming from 😃

[@tmbottegal]

6:56 "The espeed is a lot mate"

[@johna.4334]

I'm the proud owner of a 2003 VW Golf GL- best car I've ever had!

[@michaellenheiser3157]

Impressive for sure. There is another video that shows how customers can take delivery of their new car from the factory... and it is automated as well.👍

[@Ved_Overclocked]

6:13 the fun part beginns

[@egirlsareruiningmylife]

7:00 th esped is a lot m8

[@K_ingh16]

I love watching the little hamster, good thing they didn't let him drive

[@filiprangus5826]

Very cool!

[@watsappenin2865]

Damn why so little comments and views, this video is yet to blow up.

[@garrettnelson813]

I dealt with three of those elements when I hauled trash. Heat, rain, and wind. Now I work inside a freezer that gets down to -20 degrees. Know how Richard Hammond felt inside the chamber.

[@rajasruji2476]

2:40 feels like iron Man nano particule suit

[@RCTPatriot75]

So it was the robots that lied about the mpg. They've also seemed to simulate cars that suck.

[@ftswarbill]

He must walk into his hair stylists shop and say "Hello lets go with the Meth Addict".

[@morganhamilton1707]

"3.1 megawatts"......huh that is like three koenigseggs lol

[@xdev_henry]

Other question: WHO needs so many cars? I mean, we worry about climate change, but we produce so many cars at the same time?!

[@maxkraus7063]

I do

[@filiprangus5826]

VW built such a big brand, they forgot about designing part of building a car

[@coffeeNTrees]

there are a few things vw does to keep a competitive edge. too bad you didn't address their history.

[@ExtraVictory]

What history lmfao. The fact that they have 800 billion dollars in assets? The fact that they own every nice car brand from Lambo to Bugatti? Bentley? The overwhelming success and wealth of their brand and the insane scale of this plant? Geez, maybe you just don't admire success. As an American born abroad in Japan I just love success and efficiency.

[@nafinmahmoud9010]

3:34 "help"
The german nodded 'nah' coz he got ww2 flashbacks about briish ppl

[@covodex516]

why do people always turn to this topic, as if there wouldn't be anything else to say about us...
that headshake was a 'headshake of disapproval'. the joke they were making was that the german is saying to himself "this hammond-guy, absolutely crazy. look at him. he will collapse the entire building if we let him."

VW: This is where we fake our emissions

[@philipstreechon4523]

that is very cool BUT why are the engines and transmission such crap

[@SwapPartLLC]

They put all their research money into getting a perfect paint job.

[@adelal-rawashdeh1050]

Volkswagen's factory kick out about 6000 workers and replace them by metal that's mean
one thing to me Richard ..I well never buy any of Volkswagen's product's .

[@serious1587]

All that wizardry and they still can't figure out how to make reliable cars

[@grandmasterhiram]

Sheet heats the fan. I officially live somewhere else. And I am dark skinned. Sorry to throw this gross offal in your food, but I'm not being creative right now.

[@xdev_henry]

When germans speak english... Its embarrassing :D
