The fact that James just said thank you and accepted that the guy thought he was John Lennon is probably one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
How did they film in a Casino?

"Hammond didn't understand any of it, because deep down he is a secret American." hahaha
*Hammond you eedoot... pauuuse.. dis is te fastest car in de world*
"Muscle car" the only real muscle car in this (imo) is the challenger
@@Reaper-fj9xp I would've loved to see a Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro used in this.

@@b-ri1338: They do the Camaro, Shelby and Challenger Demon on the streets of Detroit in their Grand Tour series.
“Deep down, he is a secret American.”
Explains why he’s the only one with a muscle car
Corvette is also a Muscle car.
@@philithegamer8265 thats more a sports car than a muscle car
@@coryhart1789 Let's just say it's an attempt at a sports car.
Says the guy with the GTR as his profile pic lol! I believe rear wheel drive, a 6.2L supercharged V8, a 6 speed, and undoubtedly American qualifies the corvette as a muscle car. Also... I’ve heard it referred to as such all my life.
Lol at all the Europeans in these comments calling a bonafide sports car like the corvette a muscle car.
Hammond: i love muscle cars.
James: I'm disgust.
Jeremy: Car is car
James LOVES that same car in the next episode though (the Part 2). It's really fun to see.
Why is this so funny
you summed up the video in 3 phrases haha
'It's the same plastic they use to make newsreaders over here'
That was too funny.

I feel fuckin old -.-

No way! Like a sad Elvis Presley on crack! 😂

Hammond was the only one that actually chose a muscle car.

How did he manage to find the Drunkest man in Reno?
Oh no sorry my foot slipped off the clutch hahahah
Off the clutch, over the brake pedal and straight onto the accelerator :D
+Martins “MRaaaaa” Noname you do realize you use 2 feet when driving a manual right? left foot clutch, right foot accelerator & brake
He was making an excuse about his foot slipping off the clutch. I made a comment about the same foot that slipped. Get it? I know how to drive stick, thank you :)
I think in used that excuse before with my mom in the car
The caddy is a luxury
"This is made by 2 fat blokes in Kentucky." As an American, I couldn't have been more happier when you said that.

Except it is actually made by Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.
+Mete Who are also fat blokes.
The corvette is actually assembled in Bowling Green Kentucky
*NOT **-MEXICO.-*
The challenger has been around for 12 years and it still looks fresh on the outside. I love cars with timeless designs

That car still looks better than current Challenger
It looks like a Buffalo getting back shots while having its nostrils pulled.

Jeremy apologizing to the cop for a blatant lie is possibly the most real footage ever aired on Top Gear.

@webguy8497 top gear is usually scripted
They should've drove a Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. That would be perfect.

what about Charger SRT? :)

9:00 "Oh no sorry my foot slipped of the clutch" never gets old 😂😂
"We were still thinking of things we weren't supposed to do, to do". Been there, done that. Top Gear is great.

"Oh, I'm lsorry, my foot slipped off the clutch"
ik😂😂😂😂
N
your pfp matches that quote so perfectly
Hello Sorry, I'm dad.
I don't even know how that's an excuse. If he's got the clutch engaged, it's becuse he doesn't have any throttle. If he lets up the clutch, the car would just stall.
1:06 look at them slowing down all the traffic 😂
damn! imagine being late for work and having to use this as your excuse
"Fearful that James may of made a joke..." XD im dying

I was about to say the same thing!
The fact that people have literally changed the " 've " meaning have, to "of" I've grown quite irritated with it. It's a contraction people! Read a book! XD
I love May's low "sorry" when Clarkson says that lol!
My brain can’t handle that they used a damn Cadillac instead of a Mustang
My brain cant handle they used American cars instead of german cars.
@@BRAG3A it's American car Challenge you idiots

"What were they thinking putting 6.2 in a luxury car?" Doesn't Bentley have a 6.0l 600hp+ luxury car?
Pretty sure the BMW V12 in the Phantom is even bigger
A portion of it is just poking fun, the other portion is Brits being forever upset about their little brother telling them what to do.
Meh the engine is great imo. Nice 6.2 pushrod V8. The thing James wouldn't like ofcourse is the fact it was developed at the Nurburgring. 🤣 iirc the CTS-V has some magnetic ride control system to adjust damping so you can set it to soft for a comfy ride.
Well is because the V12 of Bentley gives you a smooth ride, not like the V8, but of course it has power.

This show was lightning in a bottle
Im going to miss Top Gear taking the piss out of the Americans
Or on anyone for that matter. Then again we might have "House of Cars" with Jeremy, Richard and James. Id laugh if they renamed the Stig to the Skid though. Just because the BBC probably trademarked the character. They dont have the suit trademarked though because its a Simpson helmet with iridium lens and an alpinestar suit.
"Taking the piss out of the Americans" you mean taking the piss out of everyone who isn't English?
Will James Making a joke about a stereotype which states that US citizens are fat for some sort of magic reason isn't really "taking the piss out of the Americans".
Abra Cadabra Well most of them are fat and they're funny jokes. They take the piss out of the UK too
Will James "most of them are fat"
How do you know? From a youtube video? Have you ever even been to the US? To any state except the southern ones?
I went in holiday from Romania in US to my Aunt last summer in Minneapolis. They took me through NY, we went through LA, we went to the Mount Rushmore.
Of course I've seen some fat people like you see anywhere in the world, but I have never noticed loads of fat people...
Everybody was so calm and polite...
I seriously think there are more fat people in my country on the streets than in the US.

You know English don't have money right? The show is funded by German cars.
Go to the north of england you'll see 50-70 year old cars imported from 3rd world countries junkyards. You can talk to them but I would suggest you rather not because, ohh boy, the alcohol. The secret magic that lil Britons have that can make the air into alcohol when they talk and the accents that are from out of this world and no normal human can pick. They all speak in unfamiliar tongues, the tongue of gods. Just kidding no they don't they just have speech impediments. Yeah, a hell lotta them.
@@createmymy7851 "they just have speech impediments. Yeah, a hell lotta them." clearly u havent heard southern Americans talk. It's like trying to understand an alien language.

Charlie's Models Beat me to it, although I could also say...”TONIGHT...”
Everything about this is better than new Top Gear. The presentation, the music, the banter. It boggles the mind that BBC sacked these chaps.
well they do have an amazon original show, so that's smth
Well Jeremy attacked a producer because his dinner was cold.
Is that not a valid reason?
They only sacked Clarkson. May and Hammond left in solidarity with him.
3:58 brings back memories
Thanks mate
They need to redo this challenge on their new show; mile for mile and the drag event, but with the new Corvette Z06, the Hellcat Challenger, and...maybe, the Shelby GT350R. I think James would like the Shelby.
THAT would be epic.
The new CTS-V is pretty cool.... And fast

Yeah, but we need all three car manufacturers represented.

Richard reveals hes an American spy, james has a rant, and I listen to myself on the radio...
4:00
3 brits pick a muscle car, no one picked a mustang.. not even richard
It's probably because they already covered the mustang in an earlier episode and covering something twice is a nono in the tv world
The corvette isnt a muscle car. The ctsv isnt really much of one either. The challenger is a pony car.

So many offended Americans....you do realise the Top Gear crew literally makes fun of every country that is not England? It's part of the succes story. You guys should laugh about it haha. They have offended my tiny little country of the Netherlands so often...and it makes me laugh every time
Oh I laugh this show is the best and they do the same to English cars alot too
'So many offended Americans....you do realise the Top Gear crew literally makes fun of every country, *including* England?'
There, I corrected it for you. But yeah, stop being butthurt, everyone. I couldn't care less what they say about The Netherlands (which is where I live too)
appelpower1 I agree I'm in the u.s I guess these people have no sense of humor
I pretty much don't know jack about norway, care to fill me in? I can tell you bout my country (Chile).
Cool Blue Wait, Norway? Where did you get that from?
The ZR1 is and always has been my all time favourite car, so seeing Jeremy loving it more and more as he drives it warms my soul lol
enzo acceleration at an affordable price. that's something to be proud of.
I've only seen one C6 ZR1 since the c6 version came out in 2009. Just last year. The dark grey one pull around next to me at the light. Awesome car. The presence was almost Viper. Still much cooler than the many C7s
Laughing the entire way. As an American myself, I found them making fun of Americans to be very entertaining. The Top Gear show has a certain charm to it that just can’t be replicated
To keep the US State Department happy this is censored.
Lmao.
Is refers to departement of..........??

Since when is the Corvette a muscle car?
True a Corvette is a sports car, not a muscle. The Camaro out of Chevy is the main muscle car. It would have been nice too see a Challenger, Camaro, and Mustang.

I recognized it immediately after i heard the drums somehow
Also would have been better if it was the original
“Are you John Lennon” favorite quote ever especially since he’s been dead since the 80s

The challenger is literally the only muscle car out of these three
I have to agree. The Challenger has always been a true American muscle car, whereas the Corvette was more like a sports car and the CTS-V is basically the same.
MaxTheKanuck thank you I thought I was the only one that saw this
MaxTheKanuck - And yet, it's not a muscle car either.
Mitcho2001, Wrong. The Challenger was never a "muscle car". Then or now.
