I love how they assigned them to the perfectly wrong jobs James: Speed Jeremy: Looks Richard: Safety
They could not have got it more wrong.
Yeah. It should’ve been Jeremy for speed, Richard for looks and James for safety
SherpaFan03 Jeremy would’ve gone way overboard and stuck an engine that wouldn’t fit, Hammond would’ve made it look way too flamboyant and bright and James would’ve added random things they didn’t need. It would be perfect.
james and speed dont go together, at least on earth
Except James is also the only host on this show they trust enough to put in a Bugatti Veyron making him the fastest
Hammond and May: We need an agressive name for our car Clarkson: G E O F F
Jan S. My neighbor Geoff is a rather aggressive bloke, especially after I keep hitting golf balls into his car windows while training in the garden. So you see, it’s possible
based geoff
Could have been worse ... he could have gone with Gary ... meow
I fear a man whose name is Geoff when it could be spelled Jeff.
Jan S. And what exactly do you mean by that?
Without Geoff, we would have never had the Cybertruck
Yea.
Geoff is better.
"Jeremy, is that a section from a garage door?" "YES" " _Ook_ "
So they put Jeremy, who is in no measurable way handy despite being a doctor of engineering in charge of bodywork and design, James, who has no grasp on the concept of speed, in charge of power, and Hammond, who is apocalyptically accident-prone, in charge of the chassis, and the brakes, which he is physically incapable of using.
A recipe for hilarity if I ever saw one.
Jeremy Clarkson isn't a doctor of engineering
@@aaronm1246 it is an honorary degree to be precise.
@@toomanyaccounts Ah ok. He doesn't have any strong knowledge of engineering as far as I know so that would make more sense.
@@aaronm1246 well he has a love of it from a historical perspective. that is better then a lot of people who think our western world has always existed hence they can destroy it and rebuild with ease or that white people stole everything. both are often leftist positions.
1:22 Elon Musk probably had a "mood room" with a picture of Geoff before.
This is underrated
It must have been a bit weird for him to launch his car into space with the space stig
Octavius Galacticus the Reliant Shuttle agrees
@@octaviusgalacticus2253 Stigs alien cousin.
You mean the people he hired for the firm he bought had a mood room? Maybe.

This was the prototype for that new Tesla Cybertruck and Geoff stills looks better in my opinion.
No, Geoff is a Bollinger B1.
This has got to be the most underrated comment
I was gonna comment that but I was to late
bibasik7 No a Bollinger B1 is just an electric Defender
At least it has a mustache
Jeremy literally built what everyone draws as background cars: A completely square and rectangular shape.
it's really interesting how a child's first portrayal of a car would look similar to the silhouette of the earliest cars
@@totalhydration5240 it’s also interesting how most of the earliest cars were electric powered aswell
Looks like any 80's car then.
@@baronburch6702 LMAO
7 years late yes, but is that the Osean Airforce Emblem in your PFP?
5:22 the Hardy Boyz theme playing just makes it even more hilarious and absurd 😂
Lol, I thought the same as well.
Considering the car is named Geoff (Jeff). As in "Geoff" Hardy.
😂
5:42 i have seen this episode soo many times and only now i realised that the car has a mustache LOL

Hardy Boyz theme song for a car called Geoff. I respect that.
I was hoping someone else would notice that aswell

It almost went over my head!

I remember seeing this thumbnail years ago and I still think that this is actually the most primitive electric car in existance.
Looks like the cyber truck but better in every single way
Hammond looks like he's on an elaborate jigsaw trap
XD hahaha

To be fair, they did make an e-car that could carry all 3 of them, and that on itself is impressive!
> e-car
Ambitious and…. Not great not terrible
Considering they started with a four-seat car and a working milk float, it's not really that impressive.
5:13 GEOFF
Watching Jeremy using power tools and handling large sheets of metal is like watching a toddler on a large climbing frame. You're proud of them for getting stuck in and giving it a good go but you're equally terrified about the very real risk of serious injury.
There is a *BEAUTIFUL* irony of Richard Hammond, the guy who's brakes have NEVER worked in ANY special episode (that i can remember), doing the brakes.
Ambulance challenge his brakes caught fire
he an may made the mongolia car alone
omg top gear used to be so good

I feel like the Pope, with his head in a box.
It’s actually really like the hardy boyz theme song Jeff’s theme is No More Words
@@oscarschoenmaker931 Is he back to No More Words? Because they've promoted it coming back, but then it didn't, and I don't follow wrestling that closely.
Names the car Geoff. Gives it Jeff Hardy's theme song.
yeah. lol
+BanterClaus This is much funny than Anime
One of the top gear episodes had umaga's theme in it
Terry B How?
Jack Liddell what could be better?
oh my god its a cybertruck
1:42 always gets me a laugh.... Thats prime engineering work :D
Richard should have designed the body, James should’ve gotten the chassis, and Jeremy should’ve created the powertrain.
Battery? Brakes?
POWAAAAAH
@@watermalone5782 brakes for james and battery for the orangutan
@@moshahriz1346 I believe Jeremy does have training in electrical engineering, so probably would have wired the things up with more expertise than James.

aluminum cuts are no joke
@@fuz5567 yes it is
Working with sheet metal with bare hands is obviously dangerous. I work at a truck manufacturing plant, and there's still a chance the sharp edges might penetrate cotton gloves, happened to one of the workers once.

3:15 design inspiration from fiat multipla lolololol
lol
It's not a fiat, it's a Rover James
+German Babaskerov in spain and other european countries the Multipla is a Fiat. It's similar to Opel, Opel in England is Vauxhall
It was a reference to an episode, where they had to biuld a car for elderly people. they modified a fiat multipla and called it the Rover James (in honour to captain slow)
+German Babaskerov jjajajajajaja, ok, that's right, the car with the bus rearviews😂
Jeremy:“ guys have any of you seen a car with a moustache?” My Brain: chick hicks from cars
All BMW cars have mustaches. ;)
you rite
What about the new aventador svj
Acoustic02 _ beat me to it pal
I can’t believe no ones brought up the fact that Jeremy was IN cars.
bro invented the cybertruck
And to think, Tesla copied this design years later with the Cybertruck
The AK47 on Jermey’s inspiration wall reminds me of the time he said that he in order to be safe while camping in a car with James May, he has to use the AK47!🤣
kelcing ya but that wasn’t an AK-47 on the wall. I think it was an AKS-74U
@@NeedForSpeed.2004 The magazine in the AKS-74U is orange, so it was an AKS-47.
You couldn't have a gun in UK.
@@BlueRockEye Bakelite mags can be used in either the 47 or 74. The 74 mag is thinner.

He draw an geoff.

I worship Eagles.
André Luiz Agra did he swanton bomb the drawing after?
"DIY" episodes were my favourites of top gear. Wish they do more of this in the Grand Tour
I agree. They should bring back some of the challenges they did like the police car challenge or the limo challenge.
@@RedHat2023When percieved copyright just doesn't let you do it 😢

4:08 Hammond: "That is the worst looking car in the whole world. I'd rather look at one of your dingleberries."
These guys predicted the Tesla Cybertruck more than 10 years before its existence. Edit: I'm going to be quite honest, this further solidifies my point that unoriginal comments like this one is able to get this many likes. All the other comments effectively say the same thing, and most of them are more original than the 12 word sentence I wrote on top. Then again, who needs originality anyways?
I ❤ the cyber 🚚
i don't mind the cyber
I, When i was a kid. Fantasized the Cyber
I'd rather the geoff

Everybody is commenting on how Top Gear predicted the Cybertruck, BUT GET A LOAD OF 5:23 AND TELL ME WHAT YOU HEAR!
Team Extreme
A tank or Doomslayer's theme
I like how Richard’s method of building was to just steal it from another car
Clarkson spent hours in a room full of inspirations and comes out with a box Legend
He was inspired by the room itself rather than the stuff in it
@@dr.bright6272true
Sometimes his genius is terrifying
One might say it's the prototype of the cybertruck. But just as the cybertruck it's ambitious and risky by not looking like a smooth drop.

Elon musk : i want an electric truck design Jeremy : hold my beer
when a person who doesnt believe in electricity does the electric motor, a person who went to art college do the complicated-calculation of chassis, and a practical man do the detailing car design, this is what happens !
at least it's a bit funny :) way less anti-electric propaganda than i expected.
and they could have NEVER built an ICE themselves :-)
And this is how they designed the Pontiac Aztec, and the Fiat Multipla.
