right!

Have to give credit to the pilot. That was absolutely epic
I'm a pilot and I agree

its just standard stuff nothing that great
but still looks cool tho :D

You´re not you.
You're right Mr Kim🔥🔥🔥
Ok I'm convinced. I'll buy the fighter jet.
Nope, the Eurofighter jet cost more than 100 million euros.
Be sure to buy a forged license to fly it as well.
Hope you got good credit lol
LOL
Step one: Get a jet. Step two: Start your first flight Step three: Faint from too much G-force and crash
"Or Crash into a million pound super car" nevermind the Eurofighter being £67 million at the time of film
Michael Kennedy and that was when the pound was relatively strong, probably about $95million back then
Back when a supercar costing £1 million was basically unheard of...
xD
No way!
This was 2006. The £ was worth over $2 at the time.
As a student pilot, I say this is the best race I've watched. Huge respect to the pilot as well!

I love how Hammond is literally allowed to stand on the wing while the new guys were stopped 10 metres away from the F-35
f35 has a stealthy coating. It can withstand air pressure like the Eurofighter just fine, but sharp things like shoe soles would scratch it up and ruin its stealth properties
Yes but you can damage the stealth paint from the F35 with foam plus the Chinese would really like to know how to make a plane that even comes close to the F35. And the Eurofighter is well. A plane from the late 90s. Very capable but old nonetheless
@@MrJimheeren that was the special foam that damages any plane
@@pd28cat fire fighter foam. When the first F35 arrived in the Netherlands they wanted to give it a water salute they accidentally used foam and it damaged the coating a little
F35s are the most expensive jets on the planet, the most advanced too they don’t just let anybody touch it
"Germans against the RAF" love the British sense of humor

This was Hammond's first time on super cars after his near fatal jet car crash. This was one of the biggest things on TV history, still is a legendary thing to do on TV
This is probably the farthest Hammond has ever driven in a straight line without crashing...

Looks like top gear is keeping to their new dietary regime then haha😂
Imagine the outrage if that was said now. There would be calls for him resign, ruin his whole T.V career, he’d have to go into hiding and give front door interviews to sky news and the bbc. Then appear on daytime tv a few months later to explain why he said it.

Is it the speed that set you off to follow such a drastic option? Also they won't ever sell you a Eurofighter (if you are a civilian).

How sad, I saw this comment on the McLaren vs f-35 vid, it's the same, lmao what will ppl do nowadays for likes.
@@KJ-kn8pg Bro why do you care so much it's a comment not a nuclear bomb mate
This has been stolen from the McLaren Speedtail bs fighter jet video
If the jet was losing you would've just heard "we have missile lock, permission to fire."

Joseph Lloyd and the RAF would have had even allowed the pilot to '' take the shot '' hehe
That just made my day!

I’m mildly ill but this made me feel better in a second! Lol
Anybody else stumble upon this on a search though Top Gear’s most watched videos while reminiscing about the nostalgic perfection that was the proper, original show??
I feel so old I remember watching top gear everyday when I was so young
No

The American version was an absolute disgrace. It was like “yeah, let’s ya’ll get four guys on wigs and records and let’s make The Beatles out of them… yeehaaw we’re gonna make history y’all.” Crap.
Veyron: I've got a quad turbo 16 cyl. engine. Eurofighter: How quaint.
6:52 holy smokes that shot was freaking cool
What about the rabbit. That thing flew by so fast. I think it might beat both of those.
It did, but bbc decided to edit that out :)
MS Hi to you guys! be checking out of my great audition tape on my channel for replacing of the Jeremy Carlton from the Top Gear! I am reviewing of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI also, and it is being most nice.

Yup 😂
+Mihai Petre YES

Oh ya much better
Yes I watched this when I was a kid
Me too. Also, I'm definitely surprised that Paddy did mentioned about this race, definitely welcome that.

This is, by far, the coolest thing to ever happen in Television history.
"So I'm fighting for the Germans in a battle against the RAF!" *something ain't right here*
They should do it again with the Chiron
Mohammad Shazil same result. The Chiron can’t break the sound barrier.
Mohammad Shazil with F35A? Haha Bugatti gonna loose again unfortunately
america wasting all that oil for this?
Mohammad Shazil Bengali?
Hahahaha maybe if they mounted rockets onto the Chiron it would be a fair race
the good old days of top gear!
rip
RIP until NFP and Forza came out
ikr
2018 now XD
I really miss this show, the original one, and these guys too. Amazing TV show, favorite one ever.
Richard Hammond : I'm getting away !! I can't believe I'm looking in Pilot : Spoke too soon my friend
Plot twist: the hare is faster than both of them. Edit: Ok I fixed it
Of course it is
at the risk of being pedantic, it was a Hare, which are chuffin` fast. When I say `fast`..!
but it sleeps
Lol
Nooooo The Turtle always wins
The jet is basically having it's typical day of plane life, cruising around casually, and doing loops and maneuvering through the heavens. Then eventually deciding to descend back down for the landing. While the Bugatti is trying with all its effort to try to keep up.
I'm the 100th liker
well said
Bayraktar Kizilelma the best fighter
this is the best race ever in the history of TOP GEAR..... i loved these guys... top gear will never be the same without them
Watching this in 2022 hits different
Screw the new Top Gear.

yup

I can predict next Episode : Bugatti vs space rocket
Most likely
The rocket has to do at least 11 mi/s so it can escape earths gravitational pull. No car can move that fast.
+Stabby McGee i actually never knew that, i always wondered how fast they go thanks :D
Yeah
yeah.....it will be awesome
That was 15 years ago , still the greatest drag-race of all-time.
Planes top speed 1500 mph, cars 250. Enough said.
@@alasdairgibb2596 So you believe that the Concorde or the Blackbird also would have won this race?
I like how the pilot rubs it in Hammonds face with a barrel roll 😂
Rabbit on 6:19 is faster than a Bugatti Veyron and Euro Fighter
*chicken

(probably is tbh off the start out on balanced circumstances) Nature always finds a way.
siddhant raizada tell me why would there be a chicken in an airport and not in a farm?

Ok I changed my mind, I will buy a typhoon fighter jet!!!
nooooo did you realy think this shit
A civillian L39c sells for around 150k and gets about 20x the horsepower ~14kilonewtons than a veyron
Even if you get your hands on one, do you think you can even fly it? xD
+Void Chicken Obviously any could fly a typhoon. Just push the throttles and pull back
You forgot about ignition, permission, parking brakes (yes, planes have those), refueling and tons more. Do they even know how to turn on an after burner?
keep coming back to this extremely ferociously epic and unforgettable episode!
All this time, and still I watch this and think it is awesome, the bit where the Typhoon landing gear up, powers past the Bugatti, was the best bit for me, just wow, simply wow.
"It's hard to find scale models of a Veyron and a Euro Fighter" - LMAO
SwapBlogRU however, it is easy to find an actual veyron and euro fighter.
[Euro Fighter wins race then does a series of victory rolls] Hammond: "I suspect I may get some abuse for this!" THE best Top Gear competition! Also: outstanding cinematography and editing. I loved it when Hammond referred to the RAF as a bunch of airplane enthusiasts! LMAO
Lol.. Bro, We thinks you already got enough abuse from step daddy already. We will spare you.

- So what's your budget for the next episode? - Yes.
I only wish the old team was still there. This race never gets old. Epic!
2:58 pause for a legendary moment
I want that as my background on my computer!
I wish the video was in Full HD
3:01 is better
6:26
If any of you want to, you can easily take a screenshot, black out the TopGear watermark in the Top Left, and upscale it on Waifu2x. It won’t look as good as regular 1080p, but it’ll certainly be far better than 480p
That pilot must have felt badass xD
"smh the USAF overflying covid hospitals is a waste of money" Meanwhile at the RAF...
They would've made alot of money off this to be fair and it is a pretty dope race
this is a perfect use of fuel
This was before the COVID-19 pandemic.
6:20 thug life rabbit

hahaha, lol I saw the rabbit! 😂👍
Tha rabbit was a bad ass
It's a hare!!!

nothing will ever top this show, the way they made things back in the day with the original three. Just fantastic
Bayraktar Kizilelma the best fighter
Yeah it isn’t the same anymore with the new people
I'm proud to say that I watched this the day they aired it on Tv... Top Gear (2002 BRITISH TV series) is never the same without Clarkson, Hammond and May...
You can understand why Top Gear was internationally the most watched program on the planet what a drag race my God
The Veyron lost the moment the Eurofighter got off the ground.
They should do this again but with a McLaren and boring actors
Some dreams do come true
Say as you will, Chris Harris isn't half bad. I find him to be quite interesting as a presenter. Not on the same level as the originals, but can stand on his own.
@@jeus_saaa I feel as though chris is they type of guy who could have had a segment of his own when the original 3 were on the show and everyone would have loved it
Pranav P S You have some odd dreams
Jesko>
you know, i was a bit hesitant first on which to buy, but i think im convinced now to get the euro fighter instead
This is the first video that I watched from Top Gear. This really amazed me. I was 8 at that time. This video brought back my childhood.
I was waiting for the pilot to say something like "OK tower, I have visual, missile armed, locked on target, firing number one"

12 Years Ago: *Veryon VS Eurofighter* 12 Years later: *Speedtail vs F-35* Holy Shit that aged well
This stuff is what made top gear great....
two beautiful machines
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me the Veyron is profoundly ugly in a way that has nothing to do with its lines. For a Veyron you could have multiple Hummers, plus all the gasoline necessary to run said Hummers for the life of the vehicles. That's totally obscene when there are children dying of starvation in Africa.
dlwatib Yes, children love to guzzle gasoline like the veyron.
dlwatib How many would I have to buy to starve the whole worthless fuckin country? I'll start saving.
yes iy's right! thanks you!!!^^ but it's already Jean Buggatti a french design who designed this car^^
Cara Institute of Advanced Hypnosis mostly the veyron
This is one of the best videos of all times. I'm obsessed with these guys💪💪
This holds up 12 years later, what an epic segment. That Eurofighter is a sexy beast
lol that jet makes the veyron look like a turtle
lol when the jet crosses the finish line, you can it blazing across the sky; then you see the veyron just crawling into view of the camera a few seconds later...
+snowEE Gaming no dipshit anyone with a brain knows that a jet will beat a car those jets are made to reach 1,500 mph
Those generate thrust from liquid propoellant rocket engine. This bugatti can't even reach 10% of the jet machine. This is just for a reference.
***** a Jet will shit on anycar anyday
+snowEE Gaming ut had gravity on it's side going down, but going up it had to fight against gravity
Since the day this episode aired, the line at 3:03 , STILL, 10 years later, pops in my head randomly and makes me chuckle... "Maybe they're gonna tie them together or something.." - Richard Hammond
The cinematography is incredible on this one. I remember seeing this the first time at my local bar on silent TV while Whatever You Want by Tina Turner was playing on speakers. I think it was a great soundtrack for this clip.
"The plane is aerodynamically unstable to give it maximum agility in a dog fight"
The top car simply can't beat the top jet. This is to be expected. It's one of the reasons why jets were designed to go airborne (aside from the obvious reasons), they're too fast to keep to a road. The Veyron can't go over 1000 miles per hour, but the jet can. I was surprised the Veyron held its ground as much as it did.
This was much closer than expected because both vehicles had to turn around and return to the start line. I jet will be slower at this than the car.
Yea the acceleration of the car is decent, jet engines take a heck a while to spool up
Thanks professor.
Neither can the eurofighter even go 950 on that altitude without the wings being ripped off and 700mph is safe for it to do at that altitude and itll still take a while to get to
@@Zurr-En-Arrh 800ish knots is the farthest anyone wants to go at sea level but the fact is without air resistance they can go faster also, got to remember they made this typhoon go straight vertical
6:18 that was one fast chicken
it was a hare. It does look a bit like a chicken though.
Aman Mehta Hahaha i just realized that that is funny
lol u made my day
you just made me spit on my monitor

i think we can admit that the space shuttle is faster than a kid on a tricycle. and also why are we arguing over some thing thats sarcastic? the thing that matters is people understate my sarcastic comment.
6:18 bunny: hold on wait let me get where i can see 6:24 okay im good now
אללה כבאר
One of the most epic drag/air races is history of cars and planes/jets. Simply amazing.
Bugatti: "I'm doing 196 mph, but is it enough?" *It wasn't* Eurofighter: "I'm doing 596 mph, but is it enough?" *It was*
Can you imagine that 200 years ago the most modern form of transport we had was a horse? Cuz it’s true...
There were already steam ships and trains by early 1800s.
If only you knew about Telsa
Now we have horse power

steve young bruh
I find the fact that the car has a horsepower gauge insanely badass
I am so happy I grew up watching this. This is a real history. This is just epeic. This is a history ❤❤❤ I can't stop crying while watching this again and again. It's not just a race. It's a history I was watching to happen
13 years already this video. Still happy to watching
I don't know about anyone else but when this came out it was amazing
Spasy Poo they should re-do this. It with the Chiron and a Keonigsegg one:1 and a Hennessy venom GT
Actually i think the Mclaren F1 is still the best choice since it can STILL beat after 20 years all of those car in a 1 mile drag race.
Syrius Haschwald the Bugatti beat the F1 in a one mile drag on this show
Well in 1/2 F1 won
Without launch control
Bugatti = *Cheetah* Typhoon = *Peregrine Falcon*

I really can't wrap my head the money this guys spend on jet fuel and in putting all this together just to entertain us. From the bottom of my heart I say thank you @topgear

And that is why jet fighters are better than cars
Planes will always be the boss over cars no gravity restriction plus more power shown of those sexy after burners on the euro-fighter typhoon
It is just...beautiful. Pure engineering at its finest, It made me cry a bit....
2:04 I don't know why but that one fact gives me goosebumps
It's called "supermaneuverabilty", Russians are the experts of this, as US found it disadvantageous in "beyond visual range" combat I highly reccomended you to look up "Cobra maneuver" and "Kulbit"
