thecouchtripper This is brilliant, keep it coming :) The only person "whining" is you, about me! As I said before, you clearly don't know what banter is!
You probably couldn't spot the difference in most cases for the past 5 years. Essentially any time you see full traffic car chases it all gets done on empty roads and the "background" cars get added on top.
MsSomeonenew I have watched lots of movies on Netflix...I'm not just talking about newer movies.....example:although I don't know what year Volvo was used in one of those Sharknado movies,in one scene it had 2 headlights each side and the very next scene it had the facelifted single headlight each side,that's just one of many different examples like this that most people would miss.
If you look closely at the tires, you can see they don't have a realistic shadow. When the camera moves to show the left side of the car, check the rear tire. See something strange?
This is a Topgear Magazine video. Nothing to do with Chris or the TV show. The guy in this video (Pat Devereux) has been working for Topgear Magazine since 1993 i.e. before modern Topgear TV even started..
Seybertooth Don't twist your knockers mate, I'm not a "Clarkson crybaby". It is entirely my opinion that I thought Chris Evans was utter sh*t at TopGear. I don't care about Clarkson, or May, or Hammond. They'll have their own show. This was just my opinion on Chris, nothing to do with Clarkson.
Incorrect connor etchells. Clarkson himself announced on his Twitter _months_ ago that the show will be available worldwide, and air on actual tv networks, and not only Amazon Prime. It is however assumed that Amazon would get it first, then TV months later though.
I would to.. but the prius looked really fake... The Mustag in the begning looked rather good, but the prius didn´t... And i didn´t mean is ugly.. well.. it is.. but its not the problem. it don´t look real.
Maxim I don´t agree with that. When i Saw the mustang in the begining i instantly saw that it was CGI, but it was very very well done. But the prius was just crap. I did also go back a few times really comparing the two, and my second, third, and foruth impression was the same.
Remember that most cars you see in movies these days are CGI. Render/texture/lighting-wise you have a hard time distinguishing them from real objects, but what they usually fail at is the physics of cars if they have to do anything but run in a straight line. The Blackbird fixes that issue. Check out RocketJump's video "CGI SUCKS (Except it doesn't)".
Timothy Tsaur My good sir, my comment was a joke. Blindly disliking a video for reasons other than its content and execution is rather silly, I therefore actually LIKED this video because it had great content and a good execution. The changes to Top Gear and its hosts made zero impact on my life and I therefore don't give a rats ass. I do apologise however that you were personally offended by a silly internet comment that I left on a rather insignificant video in the greater scheme of things. Good day
This thing has to be the best thing in movies for car guys. This means no more kit cars with LS that don't match the sounds of the cars they should have dubbed over it. Since this is electric they have to dub an engine sound over it so might as well try to dub the correct one. Plus imagine all the possibilities of cars we've never seen in movie before. I need to know how this thing works, time to find some articles.
The car is littered with tracking markers. Software track those points and generate the correct animation from it. Then VFX paint out the blackbird and apply the 3D model of the car they want back over it. The camera rig helps to match the correct reflections.
"which car does blackbird think i should be driving home in?" *waits to stare at prius slowly fading in* *slowly looks to stare at camera* "a Prius? i think I'll walk." *walks away* 👏👏👏👏👌good shit✔✔💯💯that is so funny and well executed with no awkward pauses whatsoever this is A+ presenting new Top Gear I love this good shit 💯✔👌
lol "the clarkson diehard fanboys"? lets not forgot who created top gear in the first place ,,,, and this show is trash with out the the stooges ,, but dont take my word for it .. just look how many people stopped watching top gear after they left ,,, yes top gear is all about cars but the actors play a massive role in it as well .
You mean the time where BBC/TopGear got sued, but Tesla LOST the case? You mean the case where tesla complained that TopGear did not give a 'fair' comparison cause racing on a track or airfield is not your everyday situation? And why do you have to lie? *"Tesla sued them over using the cars satellite data collection"* No such thing happened.
***** *"Ya low range my ass."* so you just try to ignore the whole setup of the show - you know, testing cars under extreme situations - like racing. Guess what - if you get your BMW M3 and run it around the track, it won't get 6L/km but 20L - hard acceleration and driving fast drains a whole lot of power. But your arguments really are compelling - ah, no, the word i was looking for was laughable. You have no arguments what so ever but seem to like swallowing up everything that Musk has shit out.
Wow, this is a new top gear video we all actually liked. Keep on bringing interesting content and slip in some jokes and innuendos into it and tada, you have an awesome show, won't be as good as the last one but it will do. You could do a new take on cars like you did in this episode though
The electric motor bit is interesting. One of the best features of electric motors is the ability to deliver full torque instantly negating much of the need for gearing whilst providing crazy acceleration. So to be able to dial in the performance characteristics of other cars is a very interesting development indeed. Elon Musk, if your out there, THIS is the feature that would make the low end Tesla an instant rev head favorite.
So did I. But i guess that technicaly, with a chassis like this, you could slap on any kind of shape you want for the body kit. Only a one seater though :) Pretty neat nonetheless.
well, if you think back on how the TVR's were made back in the days, it was pretty much this, with a fiber glass body kit on it (i'm exagerating a bit but you get the point). Really, i'm asking, how hard can it be ;) ?
Obviously not a Mustang as it comes around the corner. No excessive understeer or body roll and the back end didn't head for the curb. Think how many Mustangs Ford could sell if they actually handled like the image.
For a production company buying one of these is definitely much cheaper than renting the desired car every time you shoot a new scene or movie. So if I were in charge I'd invest in this
Blackbird belongs to special effects studio The Mill and it's not for sale, you hire the studio to do the effect work, and they bring the Blackbird along. But the availability is likely to be pretty good, i mean the guys really want to be hired rather than keeping their car out of harm's way, and it's already at the location where most movies and advertisements are shot.
They usually overdo the reflections... The cars look hyper-realistic, until you notice that they look like they’re chrome-plated... In their mission to make the car look neat, they overlook the need to dull it to a realistic degree. They always need to scuff it up a bit...
presenter👎 car 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 it's definitely a wonder why we not inhabitants of Mars already with the tech people are putting out
It's really not a wonder... Like seriously, first of, NASA are almost ready to send the first people to Mars, but the unfortunate part is that they won't be coming back because of the fuel alone.
May it would be Possible, the Marssoil contains much Chemicals, that can be used as Fuel, but the same Chemicals make the whole thing more Complicate, because of it's Toxicity. That means that Planting Potatos in Marssoil, fertilized with own Shit could be pretty Toxic.
Actually people do get that...however, there's much better options than a Prius any way you look at it. There's far superior fuel only vehicles, there's also better options in terms of hybrids. There's even better fully electric options out there (although for some you may need to drive only in certain cities). So for either style or tech, the Prius should never be your first choice
The Unread Comment I'd agree if the Prius didn't cost so much less. It keeps a high resale value, is one of the most reliable cars, comes with fixed maintenance prices, decked out in features, etc. Investment wise, it's good, even better when bought used. I don't see any reason to hate on it other than its appearance.
I knew the mustang was fake because it made it round the corner.
and it didnt hit any crowds
solid mustang joke sir
Nice, a person who I could have a conversation with
Genius
hahahaha truth
0:05 That's definitely not a Mustang. It cornered WAY too well
If it turns without the handbrake it ain't a muscle car.
son of sparda You mean "Drift car"? lol
its not a mustang because it didnt hit anyone
As in it turned a corner?
Hmmm this sounds familiar =D
now imagine if the great trio still doing the show .... this video would have millions of views ....
This is from the magazine so I don't know how relevant that is, also it's already at 750,000 so it's not that far.
Enigma ___ after they crash it
I love idea
effectivle they would try to drag race it against something insted of just showing it ahahahahaha
dont black hole me please
Im all for this technology. It pains me every time I see classic cars needlessly get wrecked in movies.
They're still going to have to wreck real cars or have it cgi. They're not going to wreck the Blackbird
CGI physics simulations have become pretty accurate. Especially when you can input the vehicles specific materials and density.
many classic cars in movies are just replicas now
No movie wrecks real classic cars! That would be mad, they build replicas...
They will probably still wreck them. Cheaper than wrecking this thing.
*Not gonna lie, thats pretty impressive*
I know right? Damn, I want one now.
It really is!
*****
;)
The racing Prius :D

Damn it, I was expecting it to transform into a different car
same lol
lol me too.
Right while getting into the corner huh?
KKOOAALLL
Nice car, but this would have been much better presented by James May!
thecouchtripper < looks like someone doesn't understand what banter is
thecouchtripper Might want to take a trip to your local clinic to get that case of butthurt treated before the infection worsens.
thecouchtripper This is brilliant, keep it coming :) The only person "whining" is you, about me! As I said before, you clearly don't know what banter is!
No shit
I mean, the guy didn't do a bad job -Still better than Evans- . It's just you know... you can't really compare to the Captain Slow himself.
well looks like my days of being able to spot the differences in prop cars and editing are over.
I was thinking the same thing like "well shit...."
You probably couldn't spot the difference in most cases for the past 5 years.
Essentially any time you see full traffic car chases it all gets done on empty roads and the "background" cars get added on top.

I guess their will always be lower budget films to study.
If you look closely at the tires, you can see they don't have a realistic shadow.
When the camera moves to show the left side of the car, check the rear tire. See something strange?
it can't become a reliant robin too haha
HaHa
Or ELIO!
It can't become a Carver either. But then again, it also can't be a giraffe.
I was literally about to write that.
A reliant robin is a bike -_-
I miss Jeremy Clarkson, James May and the mini stuwart
I can't wait Grand Tour.
I think those 3 and Top Gear are synonymous. We all miss them on the tele.
Melbourne Dauz no detective barbie
Me too
shøuple this is top gear magazine
Please tell me this dude is Chris Evans' replacement! This is already so much better!
This is a Topgear Magazine video. Nothing to do with Chris or the TV show. The guy in this video (Pat Devereux) has been working for Topgear Magazine since 1993 i.e. before modern Topgear TV even started..
Seybertooth Don't twist your knockers mate, I'm not a "Clarkson crybaby". It is entirely my opinion that I thought Chris Evans was utter sh*t at TopGear. I don't care about Clarkson, or May, or Hammond. They'll have their own show. This was just my opinion on Chris, nothing to do with Clarkson.
Adam Clarke Unfortunate, he's good though.
where's clarkson and friends?
bagusprazt
Amazon Prime, with a new show called The Grand Tour. Will be going live 18th of November
This is the ditto of cars XD
correct
We need Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May Back. They were what made Top gear enjoyable and funny
Husky there making the grand tour and its out on the 18th of November so that's what there doing
Yeah but it's only on Amazon Prime, not paying for that just for one show :(
Incorrect connor etchells.
Clarkson himself announced on his Twitter _months_ ago that the show will be available worldwide, and air on actual tv networks, and not only Amazon Prime.
It is however assumed that Amazon would get it first, then TV months later though.
that moment when the channel of a big tv series can't even sync up the audio
As previously shown by the unbearably out of sync doctor who title sequence.
It sounds like they've dubbed over it again and not got it quite right, certainly sounds more like studio audio than an on-location recording
I knew the Mustang wasn't real because it didn't run him over.
Mustangs never run a single person. They rather go for crowds!
*wheezing uncontrollably*
Dennis Pavlovskiy yea
But then again your a little bitch!
You probably drive a rusty honda dont you little bitch!
Whoever that guy is. He's better than all the new top gear presenters combined.
That is a seriously clever bit of kit and a brilliant and innovative idea...those guys should be very proud of that thing
they should adapt this format and just make top gear a straight up factual show
Oh ok it's like those suits people wear on the green screen with ping pong balls on them but just in car form. Pretty cool.
I think it looks great without any special effects
Good video. Top Gear definitely needs a major rebrand though. Call it New Gear or something
Lowest Gear :v
Viktor Reznov That would work too XD
O jvbi
5th Gear...?
It´s Top Gear Magazine, not the TV show.
Bring back the old TOP gear we know and love
Looks like the street where party rock anthem was recorded.
NY basically.
it probably was the same studio lot
Universal Studios back lot.
Paramount, as he clearly states at the beginning
exactly ..!!!
I'm already impressed by this. Can't wait to see the 2.0.
I liked the video just because of the prius joke 😂
Same
I would to.. but the prius looked really fake... The Mustag in the begning looked rather good, but the prius didn´t...
And i didn´t mean is ugly.. well.. it is.. but its not the problem. it don´t look real.
That's because you were looking for it, if it was in a movie no one would notice it was a cgi prius.
Maxim I don´t agree with that. When i Saw the mustang in the begining i instantly saw that it was CGI, but it was very very well done. But the prius was just crap.
I did also go back a few times really comparing the two, and my second, third, and foruth impression was the same.
i knew it wasn't a real mustang when i saw it actually cornered without use of handbrake
Sometimes humans are worse than animals but sometimes humans are just amazing. Genius.
Isn't that where Party Rock was filmed?
oh yeah.... cool!
I was thinking that too
That is a super cool idea
Really clever from an engineering perspective
This is scary good effects. How can we believe anything we see in the news, anymore
Remember this almost definitely isn't the same quality rendering they'd do for a feature film
Remember that most cars you see in movies these days are CGI. Render/texture/lighting-wise you have a hard time distinguishing them from real objects, but what they usually fail at is the physics of cars if they have to do anything but run in a straight line. The Blackbird fixes that issue.
Check out RocketJump's video "CGI SUCKS (Except it doesn't)".
Give it to the stig and see how fast it goes around the track , looks like its a handling beast
Guy with the multimeter at 1:15, checking the voltage by touching random shit .ahahha
This is why you take a car swimming on the first date.
Wanted to dislike...because TopGear. Ended up liking because, impressive technology
same
Seybertooth Who said I liked Clarkson?
More of a May fan really...
And that ending" Prius? I think I'd rather walk" lol
Timothy Tsaur My good sir, my comment was a joke. Blindly disliking a video for reasons other than its content and execution is rather silly, I therefore actually LIKED this video because it had great content and a good execution.

Good day
Francois Well , then i'm too , also sorry for my mean comment towards you. I've got ..... emotional issues in my life :)
"A Prius? I think ill walk" 10/10 gold.
Regardless of what you think of Top Gear, this thing is freaking cool
This thing is genius, especially with the cameras and lidar to map reflections.
This is amazing.. and it's popular because it has actually nothing to do with Old or new Top Gear..
This thing has to be the best thing in movies for car guys. This means no more kit cars with LS that don't match the sounds of the cars they should have dubbed over it. Since this is electric they have to dub an engine sound over it so might as well try to dub the correct one. Plus imagine all the possibilities of cars we've never seen in movie before.

What if they start doing it with people so you could turn into Obama or even harambe
That's how we are going to get the holy trinity back on the show.
This is where Hammond would say just get an orangutan.
they already do it bro
they got the idea for the car off of that, it already exists.
Gee, cause that hasn't been being done for the past couple decades
"A prius? I think ill walk" HAHAHha Rip prius
This is the set for Everybody Hates Chris! Look closely.
Ron It’s the set to numerous films
Ron bed stuy!
It’s is!
It's at Universal Studios, they use it for many movies and can make it seem like another place very easily
Cars and Film! My two favorite things!
i got amazon prime before they even announced The grand tour, so glad they joined up with amazon!
I'm happy to see Littlefinger doing Top Gear vids. Well done, Sir.
look at that guy in the background just poking random shit with a multimeter. Whatcha testing? something wrong? lol
Contact points must have been huge to test with both probes in one hand.
That’s perfect just the way it is .
Please can someone bring it in to production
Old top gear is better
New topgeer would be good too, if they tried to make it something new, not just recycled jokes and same old scripts.
"which car does blackbird think i should be driving home in?"
*waits to stare at prius slowly fading in*
*slowly looks to stare at camera*
"a Prius? i think I'll walk."
*walks away*
👏👏👏👏👌good shit✔✔💯💯that is so funny and well executed with no awkward pauses whatsoever this is A+ presenting new Top Gear I love this good shit 💯✔👌
This is the magazine, not the tv show you blithering idiot.
Also, no it isn't.
Clarkson fanboys show their "intellect" again.
Seybertooth Wether or not the old show is better is opinion, not fact.
sorry the word MAGAZINE was truncated from the title when i opened it. I still think that Prius joke was very deadpan.
I love how this thing has a happy face on the front.
This is pretty cool, I must admit...
Do people still hate Top Gear?
"Do people still hate Top Gear?"
Only the Clarkson diehard fanboys, yes they are still crying like little babies.
Nobody else does though.
i do
I dont know what this top gear is, but have you heard of the The Grand Tour?
I have no choice. either this or the cringe worthy fifth gear. still gonna watch the trio's new show on amazon prime though
lol "the clarkson diehard fanboys"? lets not forgot who created top gear in the first place ,,,, and this show is trash with out the the stooges ,, but dont take my word for it .. just look how many people stopped watching top gear after they left ,,, yes top gear is all about cars but the actors play a massive role in it as well .
Hey guys. Can't wait to see you on the Grand Tour channel. See you soon :)
I saw this video somewhere else, forgot which channel uploaded this exact same video
Cant wait for Grand Tour!!!
Not Clarkson... not worth watching.
I agree
Clarkson?
You mean the time where BBC/TopGear got sued, but Tesla LOST the case?
You mean the case where tesla complained that TopGear did not give a 'fair' comparison cause racing on a track or airfield is not your everyday situation?
And why do you have to lie?
*"Tesla sued them over using the cars satellite data collection"*
No such thing happened.
***** *"Ya low range my ass."*
so you just try to ignore the whole setup of the show - you know, testing cars under extreme situations - like racing.
Guess what - if you get your BMW M3 and run it around the track, it won't get 6L/km but 20L - hard acceleration and driving fast drains a whole lot of power.
But your arguments really are compelling - ah, no, the word i was looking for was laughable.
You have no arguments what so ever but seem to like swallowing up everything that Musk has shit out.
I love the happy face on it :D
Good film.
People who are still hating need to pull their heads in
But this is not the show
It's the Top Gear magazine. What's the big deal?
I think you mean out. Their bumbs are still hurting.
Yeah I know it's the magazine but people are hating on it just because it's Top Gear
Bailey Bongo or you know they could have legitimate complaints and stuff.
I love this machine! It’s ingenious
Wow, this is a new top gear video we all actually liked. Keep on bringing interesting content and slip in some jokes and innuendos into it and tada, you have an awesome show, won't be as good as the last one but it will do. You could do a new take on cars like you did in this episode though
Well this won't be a show because it's TopGear Magazine, this is completely different.
The electric motor bit is interesting. One of the best features of electric motors is the ability to deliver full torque instantly negating much of the need for gearing whilst providing crazy acceleration. So to be able to dial in the performance characteristics of other cars is a very interesting development indeed. Elon Musk, if your out there, THIS is the feature that would make the low end Tesla an instant rev head favorite.
0:08 I thought it was gonna smash into him
it would of pulled a mustang
×hoped
Its a Mustang. Trust me it wanted to.
With this guy's entertainment value, I was hoping it would
I need one of these.
I tought i was going to see some transformers shit, but this blew my mind
Me too
mee to twins
LukDza p
This video is so good. I think Top Gear should be this serious and discrete.
What if they do all car tests with this one? Nobody would notice :/
the lidar is actually a genius way of making sure any reflections of the car in its environment are accurate
the video was awesome and I love the tech behind this but its just not the same without the original cast :(
well that was the most enjoyment I've gotten from top gear in a while
Haha "A Prius ill Think ill walk"
so scripted
No shit? That's how most things on TV/Internet are made. You don't complain to Game of Thrones "Aah this is so scripted"
What about game of thrones?
+Christoffer Lund Yeah but it was very poorly delivered
Amazing and what impresses me is the streets just sitting there waiting for the next filming.
The audio seems desynchronized in some scenes but not others. Anyone else get that?
Finally, I have been looking for this video for a long time and it shows up as recommended
I have never been this early. I still have no jokes.
Already heard of this, and yeah, it IS AWESOME!
Wait, gotta add myself a batmobile real quick....
Imagine this on a consumer level
"Do you wanna drive?" "Yes", then proceed to not show him driving it. Great journalism/editing there.
they dont let him drive so they used that Prius joke ;)
The Blackbird is also FAKE because it is
Read more
Good one
A

Damn I did this on phone and I was really frustrated
thanks, i just put a rview ssying theres a read more glitch
"The Prius? I think I'll wolk." LMFAOOOO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought it felt waaay to scripted...
T0BBi94 this comment fits with your profile pic so dank
LOL!!! YES! Awesome video with an even better ending!
That rip at the Prius XD
That 180 degree view was incredible. And the ending comment was hilarious
has 5million subscribers, gets 600 views in 7 minutes, keemstar gets 20k views in 7 minutes with 1.5million... Great success. Drama is taking over.
haters love dramaalert they feel at home and of course they will hate top gear
***** You gonna get roasted, careful.
no need, i saved you from it.
Hope you know the view counter doesnt update immediately...
Oh My god.Grigerbest
that was pretty cool, new tech and what not,i just want the blackbird itself, that thing looked badass all on its own
before I watched i thought it was a chassis that any car body could be mounted on. would have looked better but gets pricey I'm sure
So did I. But i guess that technicaly, with a chassis like this, you could slap on any kind of shape you want for the body kit. Only a one seater though :) Pretty neat nonetheless.
Only in the movies..
well, if you think back on how the TVR's were made back in the days, it was pretty much this, with a fiber glass body kit on it (i'm exagerating a bit but you get the point). Really, i'm asking, how hard can it be ;) ?
No, I'm saying that the body kits on this car you can see literally only in the movies(videos) as it's just SGI :P
I'd prefer a fiberglass shell to cgi
This is incredibly jaw-dropping.
All I can see is the bat-mobile
I used to work at The Mill! Yay for me!
Obviously not a Mustang as it comes around the corner. No excessive understeer or body roll and the back end didn't head for the curb. Think how many Mustangs Ford could sell if they actually handled like the image.
That is absolutely incredible.
I wouldn't use the word transform.
Wow it's ultimate car ever I seen I love it
Can it transform in to a limousine?
Great new gear in addition to the world of CGI effects for Cinema. Neat!
So in order to get footage of the car you can't get a hold of you need to get an even rarer car.... lol....
that's actually a very good point :D
For a production company buying one of these is definitely much cheaper than renting the desired car every time you shoot a new scene or movie. So if I were in charge I'd invest in this
that depends, i can easily imagine that this car would be around the million mark, so work out the costs for yourself.
but if you want to use it for multiple expensive cars, you would save you money.
Blackbird belongs to special effects studio The Mill and it's not for sale, you hire the studio to do the effect work, and they bring the Blackbird along. But the availability is likely to be pretty good, i mean the guys really want to be hired rather than keeping their car out of harm's way, and it's already at the location where most movies and advertisements are shot.
OMG! The future is definetly a time we will look forward to.
Rear suspension is sooo sexy
They usually overdo the reflections... The cars look hyper-realistic, until you notice that they look like they’re chrome-plated... In their mission to make the car look neat, they overlook the need to dull it to a realistic degree. They always need to scuff it up a bit...
background music?
anybody..
this car seem so happy to exist

AGAIN WITH THE PRIUS HATE
Cuz it sucks
+Random. it looks bad but the technology in it doesn't suck
Exactly.. sadly noby gets this and just hates on something because everyone else does
Actually people do get that...however, there's much better options than a Prius any way you look at it. There's far superior fuel only vehicles, there's also better options in terms of hybrids. There's even better fully electric options out there (although for some you may need to drive only in certain cities). So for either style or tech, the Prius should never be your first choice
The Unread Comment I'd agree if the Prius didn't cost so much less. It keeps a high resale value, is one of the most reliable cars, comes with fixed maintenance prices, decked out in features, etc. Investment wise, it's good, even better when bought used.
I don't see any reason to hate on it other than its appearance.
