I think I speak for everyone after seeing Clarkson's segment, when I say; he needs a spin-off show about epic car stories. No jokes or tom-foolery, just quality factual documentary.
You're right. I love him cocking about with the other two stooges as much as anyone. However, he has done some marvellous factual documentaries and I wish he'd do more. Check out "The Greatest Raid of All" about the WW2 raid on the dry dock at St. Nazaire. Absolutely superb television and entirely fascinating.
Unfortunately, that's not what Amazon's data shows. The majority of people who watch The Grand Tour aren't into cars or motorsport and don't care about segments like this.
Lancia... A Mythical car company, one of the biggest car brand names, with so big history and soooo many technological advances... I love them. Greetings from Greece, from a person that's a big lancisti
It had a real classic top gear flavour to it. They made a whole bunch of films like this between like 2008 and 2013-ish, and it was those films that got me into cars. When I was 19 I literally bought my second car, a Lancia Fulvia, based on my vivid memory of their original Lancia film, shot probably around 2010-2011. This is the kind of stuff that makes these guys worth watching.
AutoAgitator Yeah. Not like a certain group of Fanboys who claim the Supra or GTR are the fastest cars. Side note: I really like that Lancia though. As Clarkson put it "completely Italian"
Julian V. How is it, he always criticises lancias in the past but notes that despite their negatives they're some of his favourite cars. Same with lots of different brands, he criticises all of them at points.
This particular Lancia segment is the best they’ve had in the whole season. Everything, the cinematography, the script, Jeremy, cars/interviews, is PURE MARVEL. The production really stands out as being diligent and very well thought out. Alas, the rest of the series seems so forced.
It feels like the spirit of old top gear. The British reminiscence was on full throttle but not like driving on a rocky road but on smooth, silky, magnificently laid gravel. The Grand Tour lacked something, this is probably it.
This episode was by far the best of the whole show so far. An absolutely incredible film by Jeremy, stunning. And a funny yet well-acted piece from Richard and James, two interesting celebrities, and a good old car review. Keep it up.
I 'm italian and i watched this episode with some friends of mine, needless to say we laughted a lot and loved it. This season of gran tour is Amazing and this is my favourite episode so far! Keep on with your Amazing work guys, best carcere show ever!
Lancia as Alfa Romeo it is just a brand in the hands of big corporates now... it is maybe better having good memories of incredibly beautiful cars than a sad re-brand of some soul-less world car... maybe...
Walter Roehrl is and was a Motorsport Legend. I met him last year at the rally of our neighbour village, where he has driven a Porsche 911 Rsr. I made a picture with him and talked around 2 minutes with him. I've never met such a nice and native person. And he is the reason, why Lancia could win so often.
EnFraBa7 you're point being, lancia has won more championships than any other, and hasn't competed with a factory works team since 91 or had any private team with manufacturer input since 92. Rohrl helped win one of those championships, juha kankunen (the best ever) and miki biason did more than that. Rohrl was good but he wasn't as good as kankunen, as juha didn't go at ridiculous speeds, he was able to find the limit and stay safely below it to finish the season in a very good position. And his ability to do that in so many cars that were so different and with so many teams and manufacturers in different countries when there were much more significant differences to what th modern differences between cars are. Mcrae was superman in a British prepared subaru or ford but in the superior french Citroen he struggled. As did burns coming from successful drives in british prepared Mitsubishi and subaru. Lancia were the top dogs from the 60s until fiat sacrificed them. They had to homologate rally cars so often built good rally cars then tried to make a road car from it. (Ducati style).
For those who haven't seen this short of the Audi Vs Lancia battle, it is one of the greatest shorts in motoring show history. Sell your children if you have to to see it. Clarkson is at his peak in a serious history lecture, something he excells at if you have never seen him present seriously outside of motoring, and the story is almost fantastic, parts are impossible to believe how Lancia did what they did to stay competitive with a 2 wheel drive machine against the might and money of Audi and 4 wheel drive.
If the opponent doesn't have a shitty 4wd car you are fucked. The Audi just isn't a good handling car. Against the later Lancia Delta S4 or the Peugeot 205 you wouln't have a chance in a 037.
Marchionne quando diceva "resto del mondo" si riferiva principalmente a nord america e asia, dove effettivamente e' sconosciuta. A malapena conoscono l'Alfa. Ma chissenefrega, si meritava un destino migliore di quello che ha avuto e poteva sopravvivere col mercato europero. Nel frattempo, speriamo non sparisca pure alfa romeo, che non se la passa benissimo.
@@il-conte concordo. Anche Abarth non è che la conoscessero molto in quelle zone, tranne qualche modello iconico. Si poteva lavorare per sfruttare tutta la storia di Lancia e Alfa anche in quei paesi.
Agile as a water-boatman, absolutely priceless! JC's without an equal when it comes to analogies/comparisons. I recall reading one of his books on holiday at the pool and it was lol to an embarrassing degree.
Actually it was not Lancia who made the 037 possible but Cesare Fiorio, he went to FIAT convinced them to let him build a car with the help of Abarth, Dallara, Pininfarina, ZF and FIAT. He had done a similar thing earlier with the Stratos.
retro racing Quite true! Nevertheless, Lancia systematically built spectacular cars until mid to late '90s. Especially in terms of value for money, I dare say unique...
@@dimitrioskatsochis2338 Yeah the retro cars are where the real engineering is and build Quality was all the cars that you're talking about Up to the late 90s Have the build quality of a Chocolate fire guard😂😂
Ive been waiting for Clarkson to cover this car for atleast 15 years. This and the Delta Evo are my favorite cars of all time..excellent intro to the heritage for younger generations. Greetings from Alabama
This part of the episode was one of my favourite of all time watching grand tour and top gear. I love the flash back into old times and the history of car development. Also the way Jeremy reactes to the car is pure gold. I would love to see more episodes like that and maybe even Jeremys own show. Keep it up!
Incredible piece by Clarkson. Glad to see that at times he can still do the more serious bits, as they contrast nicely to the usual antics the boys are always up to.
F S everyone says the 037 was dangerous but I believe the Delta S4 was even more so. That thing was literally a thin shell with a monstrous engine strapped to it sending power to all wheels with no other means of grip lol
Triktensap Mirulosu Agreed. Just as Hammond, who drove 2 laps in Williams F1 (tremendous achievement for an amateur in it's own right) without shifting to fourth.
I would watch just a show of May, Richard or Clarkson just telling these stories of old motosport for HOURS on end. LOVED the GT40 in Le Mans from last year and this with the Lancia. Makes me find a new appreciation for these classic cars
Every Italian car makes me melt. It’s like listening to an amazing face melting jazzy funky blues song. But instead of listening to it, you are watching it.
Lancia also designed the rear axle (the Z-Axle if I remember rightly) which BMW used for decades as they preached to the world about how well their cars handled.
zem0343 there are 2 songs that I was searching within the same scene you're talking about, first one is named "Murder Cries" by Snow Ghosts. Second one I still can't find, and the only clue I have is from Amazon Video's info on that track, named "Broken Arrow".
The Monte Carlo Rally, No other manufacturer had more successes with more models and then Lancia between the 70s and early 90s. I bought my 1.6 Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Lusso one year after the same car won the Monte Carlo Rally. Took my fiance
To a ball at The George Cinq in Paris, and when she agreed to marry me I couldn't part with the car, so I put it into a container with a spare engine and took it with me to Australia.
Had 2 Lancias in my life a Beta Coupe and a Scorpion(that's Montecarlo across the pond) and I miss them. Having a Beta Coupe as a 19 year old that had a badge that said Pinanfarina got me a lot of tail. My old girlfriend thought the badge was from Ferrari and told everyone which kept me busy. I just miss the style. Sure there was 5 miles of wiring in the dash but hell, a 1979 car with fiber optic lighting in the dash? Cool. To this day I love the lines on Lancias. If we could just bring back the dead.
This is Intenza Emozione at the highest level. What a look!!!;......What a design!!!;..............What a Car!!!! The Lancia 037.......'Behold The Masterpiece';......'Behold The Legend'. Awe inspiring. 👏👏👏
This is absolutely glorious. I'm going to take a TON of flak from my fellow Americans for what I'm about to say, but bollocks to them. I will make the argument that the 037 is the greatest rear wheel drive car in history, and here's why. Rally is the purest, most accessible form of racing, and it's done EVERYWHERE. Therefore, it has the popularity and loyalty factor. Then along comes Group B, with it's absolutely bonkers tuning and lack of restrictions (for both drivers and spectators alike), and the inevitable appearance of 4 wheel drive cars in the form of the venerable Audi Quattro. Then along comes Walter Rohrl (a spectacular human being) in an equally bonkers REAR WHEEL DRIVE (yes, that's 2 wheel, not 4) Lancia that positively STOMPED ze Germans in their Audis, in places like the dusty field of rocks known as Acropolis. Yet, for some reason, like Jeremy said, nobody remembers the 037. To me, it's screams Dark Horse. And I like Dark Horses. Especially ones that win against thoroughbreds.
Try watching them, I always used to skip until one time my player bugged and i couldn't skip forward, ever since I've just usually watched them, they don't take so long and usually mention some ''vinwiki-like'' stories. As you say, best episode so far
I think I speak for everyone after seeing Clarkson's segment, when I say; he needs a spin-off show about epic car stories. No jokes or tom-foolery, just quality factual documentary.
I totally agree this was great.
Clarkson's Motorworld?
You're right. I love him cocking about with the other two stooges as much as anyone. However, he has done some marvellous factual documentaries and I wish he'd do more. Check out "The Greatest Raid of All" about the WW2 raid on the dry dock at St. Nazaire. Absolutely superb television and entirely fascinating.
He used to do stuff like that you know. About sr71s and other things
Clarkson's car years are pretty much that.
They should regularly do these episodes reminiscing on legendary old Supercars. These segments are easily the best part of the show.
I NEED the E9 CSL and/or E30 M3 in this
Unfortunately, that's not what Amazon's data shows. The majority of people who watch The Grand Tour aren't into cars or motorsport and don't care about segments like this.
@@David-ud9ju Where you got this from?
well, they took it to heart and did just that several times in season 3, which is easily the best one
I love the way audi basically made 2wd rally cars obsolete and lancia was just like "hold my beer"
Yet, the 037 is not only the last rwd car to win the wrc, but also the only rwd car to ever beat the quattro. What an amazing thing!
Hold my spaghetti.
the Sierra cosworth was the last 2wd car to win a wrc event 1988
Michael Evans I was referring to winning a whole season as a constructor, not just a single race win. In this regard the 037 is still the last.
go watch out the 6-years-in-a-row title winning Delta HF
Lancia... A Mythical car company, one of the biggest car brand names, with so big history and soooo many technological advances... I love them. Greetings from Greece, from a person that's a big lancisti
Best episode of the current season so far
David S. True. This episode and the previous one are the most that I enjoyed
Totally agree.
It had a real classic top gear flavour to it. They made a whole bunch of films like this between like 2008 and 2013-ish, and it was those films that got me into cars. When I was 19 I literally bought my second car, a Lancia Fulvia, based on my vivid memory of their original Lancia film, shot probably around 2010-2011. This is the kind of stuff that makes these guys worth watching.
Yes indeed!
Jaaaaags!
best episode, even one of the best ever from all old top gear ones
its tgt
@@kadillac1278 I think they were saying it’s even better than top gear.
Love your channel, Pal!
Yeh I do love when they do these short documentary type bits. The Senna one from Top Gear is brilliant too
Which episode of tgt is this?
Part of what makes Clarkson so interesting to watch is his good taste in cars.
AutoAgitator Yeah. Not like a certain group of Fanboys who claim the Supra or GTR are the fastest cars.
Side note: I really like that Lancia though. As Clarkson put it "completely Italian"
Except AMGs :)
Good taste ? You are the kind of person if he says so it must be good
CLARKSONS TASTE IS ONLY POLITICAL.....
Julian V. How is it, he always criticises lancias in the past but notes that despite their negatives they're some of his favourite cars. Same with lots of different brands, he criticises all of them at points.
This was the best episode by a mile
I thought the episode was pretty boring, until they finally got to this last segment.
This particular Lancia segment is the best they’ve had in the whole season. Everything, the cinematography, the script, Jeremy, cars/interviews, is PURE MARVEL. The production really stands out as being diligent and very well thought out.
Alas, the rest of the series seems so forced.
Finally one episode which matches level of old top gear
You can immediately tell when Clarkson is actually passionate about something.
It feels like the spirit of old top gear. The British reminiscence was on full throttle but not like driving on a rocky road but on smooth, silky, magnificently laid gravel. The Grand Tour lacked something, this is probably it.
This episode was by far the best of the whole show so far. An absolutely incredible film by Jeremy, stunning. And a funny yet well-acted piece from Richard and James, two interesting celebrities, and a good old car review. Keep it up.
I 'm italian and i watched this episode with some friends of mine, needless to say we laughted a lot and loved it. This season of gran tour is Amazing and this is my favourite episode so far! Keep on with your Amazing work guys, best carcere show ever!
" when I say EVERYONE " best of Clarkson 💖
We love Lancia and we want it back.
Well; the Lancia of awesome cars, not the one of rebadged Chryslers.
Lancia as Alfa Romeo it is just a brand in the hands of big corporates now... it is maybe better having good memories of incredibly beautiful cars than a sad re-brand of some soul-less world car... maybe...
LOL I can do without it, thank you very much.
This history about Lancia's was the best part of the episode! Please keep showing more segments about historical automobiles and brands
Jeremy going through Lancia's history in becoming World Champion was the best thing in the whole series so far, loved it :)
World Champion of WHAT??? Giving people nightmares?????
Manufacturers’ Champions. They still lost the Drivers’ Championship to Audi’s Hannu Mikkola.
What a beautiful car omg.
I bet U Seen For The First time In Your Life ...lol
AJ MAG you're right. 🙌

Him and Markku Alen basically carried the championship.
he and Lancia
Dani 310 he was a wanker, especially when he was being beaten by Michelle mouton.
Lancia won many rallye world and european championships way before Walter Röhrl even was at Lancia... Ever heard of the Fulvia and the Stratos?
EnFraBa7 you're point being, lancia has won more championships than any other, and hasn't competed with a factory works team since 91 or had any private team with manufacturer input since 92.

Lancia were the top dogs from the 60s until fiat sacrificed them. They had to homologate rally cars so often built good rally cars then tried to make a road car from it. (Ducati style).
Exceptional segment. We need one of these in every episode.
go to channel "donut media" and follow "upto speed" segment
Lancia and thier tricks 🤣 this was an awesome episode.
DroidTech definitely not cheating , just smart things
Lancia later dominated in group A as well, winning the title for six years in a row with the Delta HF
DroidTech to cheat means to brake the rules. They didn't.
Since when was it against the rules to pave the dirt road?
Did they pave dirt roads? No, they didn't.
This was the best episode ever, period.
Especially when you showed us the Audi vs. Lancia competition.
"I've got a bit of a soft spot for all old lancias but in this... it's not soft" haha clarkson poetry at its finest xD
For those who haven't seen this short of the Audi Vs Lancia battle, it is one of the greatest shorts in motoring show history. Sell your children if you have to to see it.

Love this. Best segment so far. And also last season battle Ford GT vs Ferrari at Le Mans.
Shahrange Effendy agreed. I loved that gt vs p3 last season
Alex T yup.. as someone who born in 80s that something new for me.
There's no way you can win WRC without 4wd
Lancia: 😂
Also Lancia: o rly?
If the opponent doesn't have a shitty 4wd car you are fucked. The Audi just isn't a good handling car. Against the later Lancia Delta S4 or the Peugeot 205 you wouln't have a chance in a 037.

Incredible piece by Clarkson. Glad to see that at times he can still do the more serious bits, as they contrast nicely to the usual antics the boys are always up to.
Thanks Jeremy - Thanks for bringing back Lancia heritage!
I'm 16 years old and I already know I will probably never forget this scene. Just Perfect.
0:44, Damn, that music 👌
Any idea where it's from?
I'm also looking for name of the song, does anyone know it?
Deadly avenger-broken arrow
This and the Delta S4 are the hell on wheels
F S everyone says the 037 was dangerous but I believe the Delta S4 was even more so. That thing was literally a thin shell with a monstrous engine strapped to it sending power to all wheels with no other means of grip lol
At least the s4 was 4wd
But, but, the Fiat 131 Abarth...! ;)
What about stratos?
Poor stratos...
This segment was simply FANTASTIC! More of this, please!
Love the Lancia Sporty Engine , Beautifully Functional Interior & Handsomely Boxy Body! How we missed Lancia in their Prime in Motorsport! 🌷🌿🌍💖🇮🇹
Too bad for you, they're now dead as a door-nail, LOL XD.
IMO one of the most beautiful cars ever made
I got Amazon Prime purely for this. Absolutely no other reason, than my way of showing appreciation for these moments of sheer brilliance.
Awesome!
Would love to see and HEAR Jeremy drive a Group B 037!!
He's not a good rally driver :P
Triktensap Mirulosu Agreed. Just as Hammond, who drove 2 laps in Williams F1 (tremendous achievement for an amateur in it's own right) without shifting to fourth.
Silverstone laps.
I dont want to see a lancia or Jeremy smashing into a tree...
I would watch just a show of May, Richard or Clarkson just telling these stories of old motosport for HOURS on end. LOVED the GT40 in Le Mans from last year and this with the Lancia. Makes me find a new appreciation for these classic cars
Yes - Excellent episode - Let's see more old Lancia's, Alfa's & Fiat's for that matter..👍👍
Clarkson is back! Pls do more episodes like this, serious and emotional, maybe with a historical background is the perfect combination.
this is one of the best car pieces to come out of that wonderful trio, i was speechless
Every Italian car makes me melt. It’s like listening to an amazing face melting jazzy funky blues song. But instead of listening to it, you are watching it.
FASCIST!!!!!! Is that what Mussolini's ghost told you to think?????
Hands down the best episode of Grand Tour EVER !!
At 0:15... The song is “Murder Cries” by the Snow Ghosts
Omg for years i have been trying to find this... shazam doth not worketh on it. if u see this thank u u are a godsend.
Lancia, pioneer of nearly every modern automotive technology, including the tech powering Vag' s top products.
Only lancia did it decades before.
Lancia also designed the rear axle (the Z-Axle if I remember rightly) which BMW used for decades as they preached to the world about how well their cars handled.
My favorite car of all time. I hope I’ll even see one in person in my lifetime
You have good taste
Where in the hell did they locate a pristine road legal 037?
When you have a lot of money, things tend to happen.
Dr. Bananable Lector one word: Amazon
200 units were stated in the regulations not 400
On amazon prime
Petrolicious got one for a video as well. Possibly the same car?
Less than 2 minutes video and you get excited and so much informations to, that clearly shows how amazing narrator is Jerremy
What was the name of the song in the beginning?

I bought my 1.6 Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Lusso one year after the same car won the Monte Carlo Rally.

Watching the video: Oh my 😳
Get goosebumps everytime I see this.
Great filmatography to catch the beauty of this car. Keep this great work. 👍👍
The greatest car maker of all times. LANCIA!
This episode and "Jaaaaaags" are the best two so far. Let's hope they keep up in this vein.
Clarkson is so good in making a documentary, very nice
"but in this......it's not soft" 😂😂
We need more history pieces like this
The Italians sure know how to make a sexy looking car. The 037 just tugs at my heartstrings!
I loved that episode and I didn't knew that lancia won like that
I would not say the best episode. I`m delighted with them all... but, the best story or segment so far. Great! Cheers from Brasil.
When Italy dominated car world!
This and the one that James did on Le Mans are the best pieces they have done.
I love it when Jeremy presents history stuff. You can feel the passion for the subject.
Had 2 Lancias in my life a Beta Coupe and a Scorpion(that's Montecarlo across the pond) and I miss them. Having a Beta Coupe as a 19 year old that had a badge that said Pinanfarina got me a lot of tail. My old girlfriend thought the badge was from Ferrari and told everyone which kept me busy. I just miss the style. Sure there was 5 miles of wiring in the dash but hell, a 1979 car with fiber optic lighting in the dash? Cool. To this day I love the lines on Lancias.
If we could just bring back the dead.
All things considered, this could well be the best car ever made. Hand on heart, I'd take an 037 Stradale over a Ferrari F40 any day of the week.
Yeah when it comes to dream cars the 037 is way up in my list. And then there's the stratos... God how has lancia managed to fuck itself up so bad?
This is Intenza Emozione at the highest level. What a look!!!;......What a design!!!;..............What a Car!!!! The Lancia 037.......'Behold The Masterpiece';......'Behold The Legend'. Awe inspiring. 👏👏👏
That part in the show was so epic
I once owned a 1979 Lancia HPE the last Italian car I owned, put me off Italian anything for life !
This is absolutely glorious. I'm going to take a TON of flak from my fellow Americans for what I'm about to say, but bollocks to them. I will make the argument that the 037 is the greatest rear wheel drive car in history, and here's why. Rally is the purest, most accessible form of racing, and it's done EVERYWHERE.

Then along comes Group B, with it's absolutely bonkers tuning and lack of restrictions (for both drivers and spectators alike), and the inevitable appearance of 4 wheel drive cars in the form of the venerable Audi Quattro.

I love Clarksons history documentaries, they're always very interesting to watch.
This episode got me hooked. Very interesting, other than the celeb part that I always skip.
Try watching them, I always used to skip until one time my player bugged and i couldn't skip forward, ever since I've just usually watched them, they don't take so long and usually mention some ''vinwiki-like'' stories.
As you say, best episode so far
Does that mean he's not coming on then?
This was an excellent episode. Loved the Group B segment.
Great the see that they acknowledge that it’s a pure car show for car and racing fans.
Now we want the story about Alfa Romeo vs Mercedes in dtm
don't need an intro to the 037, everyone knows it's fantastic
Beautiful blend of music & narration.
Beautiful and great car
I loved this story. Inspiration. Shows how to work the same system that keeps the people with the most money in power.
What a beautiful car, and an engineering masterpiece.
And remember that this was the downtuned roadgoing version. The Group B competition version was a very, very different animal.
Clarkson’s prose as pungent and as on-point as ever. The car was a charisma bomb. Brilliant.
The things I would do to own one of these cars
Have you seen the Kimera EVO37?
A thing of beauty.
God, this car looks absolutely stunning. If its a headturner now, I can't imagine what it looked like back then.
Maybe someone can help me
I'm looking for the song that starts playing at 0:15
Thanks
me to that music is unbelievable makes me shiver with the lancia
I mean we have a lot of great looking cars today...but this O 37...this is out of this world!
Audi: "We've got a 4WD."
Lancia: "Hold my Martini, shaken not stirred..."
Me: "I couldn't care less about either one."
That car has always captivated me. It's looks and performance are iconic
Could anyone help me with song when Jeremy starts driving the Lancia
Broken Arrow ( Grand Tour Version )
from THE GRAND TOUR by Deadly Avenger
you can buy that song now
What a car. Lancias make my heart dance like a raving lunatic. They are driving perfection.
What is the Gran Tour test track name? 🤔
The Sliders ebola drone
The Eboladrome
What a name
I know, when I first heard it when the show started I couldn't stop laughing! XD
Dutch NFS Gaming The track also resembles Ebola.
This warmed my little V3 hearth, that Lancia maybe one day the can make a glorious car like this
