Very well put.... seriously
YIKES.
you really have a point there
hahha
M4 vs RC F? No its an LFA review
Lol that's what I thought. I was so confused.
+MultiKorven123 No. This video is more like a public service announcement to Lexus.
+MultiKorven123 Hehe
Because there is nothing special in the RCF to be compared to M4, it should be compared to 335i or 435i. Would be nice to see a drag between LFA and M4..
+Mike Shino lmao m4 isn't even in the same league. It is appropriately matched up with the RCF. It's really not that bad. I'd still take the RCF. Lmao
"I'm an expert, look how I'm going round this corner expertly"........spins off onto grass.....
Every "expert" in a racing game. Lol.

@@iLupi Jeremy Clarkson plays games?
That's kind of why he said it, dude: It's sarcasm.
@@jaicoxki some people are really dum.. Clarkson has bast humor ever
No one can review cars like this man....he is simply amazing...hats off to Clarkson
indeed
Except he's wrong about how amazing this car is.
@@zodiac909 its brilliant but its not a sports coupe like a bmw m4
I came for the Lexus LFA. Still my all-time favorite car and as Jeremy stated in the magazine, it is, "the best car I've ever driven".
+Benjamin Hislop Shmee150, Saabkyle04, CarAndDriver, MotorTrend, Jay Leno's Garage, Marchettino, and there's a bunch more of car spotter channels.
+Benjamin Hislop car throttle :v
+D13H4RD2L1V3 yeah toyotas money pit is a great car
NEPUUU hehe, no seriously, the LFA is immensely underrated supercar
Don't forget Chris Harris on cars
LFA has Acura NSX legendary status. That far even after 10 years is still a technological marvel.
jsong21 ikr
Agreed...
Honda nsx
@@Zak-ob5ze It's the same, mate. Just like when Toyota had 86, Subaru got BRZ & Scion got FR-S
Who else thinks the LFA Sounds Incredible? :)
I do
Yes, incredible. Would you rather go to a rock concert or have 20 minutes in an LFA?
+Rxonmymind Rxonmymind 20 minutes in an LFA :)
not 20 minutes but unlimited minutes! ;)
+OVD I could stay in one forever!!! :)
You know the car is special when Top Gear reviews a car twice🥺
They reviewed it thrice actually. Hammond did it before Clarkson and Clarkson driven it in USA and finally this episode.
@@GauravMishra9200 Four times then, cause they revisited it in "Worst Car Ever Made" (As an example to show Lexus could make a good car)
LEXUS KILLS F SPORT WHIT THE RC F AS BBC KILLS TOP GEAR BY FIRING CLARCKSON
Mira donde te vine a encontrar dios de las hamburgesas, tienes bueno videos.

+cnknguyen yes we know. but give it a rest guys. lets just enjoy the cars on offer hey?
Top Gear Worldwide is dead
Auuwww i got my paaw stuuuuck, "change gear" Auww "change gear" Auww...
I cant stop laughing to that part!
I hate these stupid quoting comments. I watched the video I know what he said. Smh
odgie991 damn man 4 years late
I love these brilliant quoting comments. I watched the video I didn’t know what he said. tysm :)
@@odgie9915 Because it's funny
The sound of the LFA is just mind blowing. Sounds exactly like a F1 rocket 🚀
BBC stands for... Bring Back Clarkson
Nice try
You are so right anyway tho are they still making episodes and are they making episodes with the new hosts
British Born Christian (?)
1lamborghinimercialagoSVfan ye he d man miss him alot on top gear
I thought it meant Big Black Chicken?
i love how half the video is about the lfa
Got depressed watching this and realizing there'll never be TG like this again :(
got depressed while watching realizing there will never be a car like the lfa again
+Chris Dooley Yo dude, the trio are coming back on a new show, i think its called gear nob. Its like top gear but they have the trio.
+Chris Dooley Yeah there will, the guys are moving to Amazon Prime
+Matteo Wise 400k for a toyota with fake F1-esque noise. I mean, c'mon... 400k for a toyota? for the money you can have a Aventador SV, Ferrari F12 + 458 speciale, 991s GT3 + BMW M6 coupe + Merc SL GT. lol Japanese should stop making sports car and stick to hybrid, fuel efficient cars. Just listen to the fake noise of it.
+Wyatt “Batt” Burr no shit? Thnx for the info I'll have to look that up :)
headphones on volume 100% 3:27-3:36 brings tears to my eyes...
That timestamp is vehicular audio porn... Anyways gonna change my pants now.
To me it sounds annoying. Maybe it's just because I like the sound of muscle cars more.
Ghetty unpopular opinion but I’m with you
Sounds like a Formula 1 car
Yeah thanks now there is a stain on my seat anyway same
Its very simple- No Clarkson no TopGear
Well no. It did fine before him, it'll do fine without.
Well no. It did fine before him, it'll do fine without.
+DerekHartley I can't remember a time without him
+ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ In my opinion the time before clarkson was kinda crap
+DerekHartley There's a reason Pre-Clarkson Top Gear was canceled.
5:10 that engine sound tho!
the sound at 3:27 is just epic
Literally gives me chills
zoltek7 it was specially tuned by yamaha to produce that gorgeous sound
Fuel tank the size of a disposable lighter... LMAO. His saying are hilarious. RIP Top Gear
how's that a m4 vs rc f review ended up in a lfa review?
+Carshunter99 its clarkson. any review he does will now turn into a lfa review lol
doubleutubefan5 lmao
+Stev3 +Carshunter99 More so that the RC-F is so bad it wasn't even worth comparing to the M4. Better to focus the piece on why it's so disappointing that Lexus hasn't been able to filter even one bit of the good from the LF-A down into anything else in their line up.
Gd usystematyzować energetyczne esej ej esej szeregi haus jest he ferguson ggdu fgdj gratuluję usługi finansowe gratuluję jak to się jeszcze nie było mnie nie będzie to możliwe dzięki
the guy totally forgot what show he was doing once he started driving the lfa he was having too much fun.lol
Oh my, the sound that LFA makes. It sounds like a proper racing engine. Just imagine the engineering, and tolerances to which it all had to be executed.
The sound the LFA makes... it's sort of a mix between F1 (in "low" revs) and a motorcycle... sounds amazing...
I love Lexus I love the RC F But the LFA is such a beautifully looked and good sounding supercar
What a smooth way to review and deliver the message to the audience. The last 4-5 sentences sum up the Lexus RC F!
Damn, that M4 is a beautiful car, I hoped to see it a bit more in this video...
+Burrito Sandwich Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok.
+TheFireworkfreak16 😂😂
Not only is it beautiful but it's brilliant
Millions of good M4 videos in KZhead. It is a fantastic car.
M4 is so sexyyy I like it more then m5 or new series 7 I mean don't get me wrong they're good cars but m4 is just sexy and light like made for race anddd comfort
The reason someone buys a Lexus is that a Lexus will out last all the Euros in maintenance and cost XD
Go home, you're drunk ..
+Wilson Gozal but he's right
+Tristan Han he meant Euros as in currency like he's basically saying Lexus will outlast the m4 in maintenance costs
How long do you think people keep these cars? I trade mine in every year. Most people trade them in within two years. Only kids think that the "it will last forever" argument is valid.
Lot's of leased Lexus out there. BMW's are not "leased because of reliability". They are leased because people don't keep cars forever these days. That's something that kids have in their heads. The BMW is the more fun to drive, therefore I have the M4 and not the RCF....period. That was the only thing that went into my buying decision. Which car would I rather drive? That was the question. I'm not going to pass up pleasure for some reliability myth that will never come into play.
the best Lexus will always and forever be the LFA
PR MAGNISOE idk my es300 is pretty sick
You don't know? Really? I'm not doubting how sick your es300 is, but there is no way in hell it's LFA sick. It's like someone saying "The old NSX was a pretty sick car, but my EK9 Type R is as sick as that"
I believe the LFA is the greatest Japanese car ever made. Even better than the Nissan GTR.
he was kidding dude XD
@@user-ru1eq7tw4y yo I sold that es300 about 2 years ago but its still pretty sick
The LFA had massive years of development and it shows. Hopefully, Lexus gives their engineers this kind of project again. I will lust after an LFA for many years.
The LFA is so good ,SOO GOOD .. it made Clarkson forget the M4 was in the video to begin with.
LFA is good car but can LFA but a lambo lexusis more like reliable brand and not perfomer brand but bmw is a perfomer brand
@@calindor19 ?????? What are you on abt
The rear end of LFA looks just amazing... but RC F and LFA are two completely different cars. They cannot be compared like this.
And Lexus IS trying to brand them the same with this f thingy
They probably weren't originally planning to add the LFA bit but the RCF was so bad that it might have looked biased or unfair so they through some LFA clips in to try and be help offset how bad the RCF is.
+Erlend Anderson Always take top gear reviews with a pinch of salt
Hes not cpmpare rcf to lfa he simply can find that lfa magic esence in rcf its not about performance its about spirit witch rcf dosent have.
Lexus lc500
"It sounds like a wild animal that's sad about something" "oh no I got my paw stuck....ow..ow...ow" lmao! 😂
3:30 ughhh the sound of the LFA just blew me away.... It's soo good
Classic Clarksonism, complain that a 50k car is not as good as a 300k car. Love it.
Haha
But the 300k car is 1 million times better then the 50k
15-20mm lower ride height, 10mm spacers all round, anti-roll bars across the strut towers and rear links, shed some weight and bosh.. RC F would be an amazing car. It's an entry level super sport that is made to be driven daily..or modified. Toyota did this with the GT86 & other performance models as well.
Well said, I'll add that an intake, full exhaust and tune wakes it up and gives it 50-60 WHEEL horsepower and makes it sound amazing.
@@michaelangelo5783 bigger intake, intercooler & a big cone filter would definitely help. Cat back exhaust would be good enough and keeps it road legal (don't see point in decats unless it's a track car tbh). Tubular manifold would be good as well, but I'd TIG together my own stuff.
Yall have no idea what you're talking about. "Strut bar"? "Intercooler"? Wtf lmao
@@KO-i343 You have no idea what any of those things are do you. RCF is NA stock, but turbo + intercooler would see huge power gains. The wallowiness of the body and frame can be improved with anti-roll bars, adjustable drop links and a strut brace. If you don't know what they are, then you're either retarded, not into cars/modifying cars like I am, or a child.
3:30 really weird zoom ins Made me feel weird lmao
Ford galaxie Fan club! Ikr lol
Camera man was on crack for that shoot then they had to replace him with another guy because he kept messing up shots by zooming in too much.
that LFA is still one of my all time favorite cars. amazing
That LFA sound gives me goosebumps!!!
The rev of that LFA. Gives me chills everytime
Lexus absolutely knows how to make an LFA-feel again, they've worked at it for about a decade and engineering isn't some magic guesswork it's math and precision, the reason RCF is shit is because of all the constraints put on by the marketing team which they didn't have to deal with when making a one-off limited edition car
at least its reliable
3:28 I literally started crying. Play this engine sound at my funeral
What kind of bitch are you? If you cried because of this you shouldn't have a funeral at all you pussy lmao
@@botulinum7143 you probably drive a nissan leaf
@@lanceryderwilson8618 And what made you think that you fast and furious kid
@@botulinum7143 so you're condemning someone crying after hearing one of the best sounding engines ever
I love Top Gear but as for the RCF bashing , I think it was uncalled for . Most tests against M4/ RCF result in pretty close times for lap times , and to be quite honest i personally wouldn't be buying an M4 or RCF for trackdays . The RCF will wipe the floor for reliability and interior and exterior wise I much prefer the Lexus looks
💯. BMW = Broke My Wallet. Over 50k miles and/or 5 years old and it will bankrupt you
@@stephendibari5010 Sad hate
@@fexbd not hate it’s a reality. Keep your BMW until its over 5 years old and/or 50k miles and you’ll see. There are certain things I did love about the BMW I had. The interior was awesome and even the fit and finish of the exterior too.
@@stephendibari5010 I guess ill come back here with an update when mine hits 5 years / 50k mileage 😅
@@stephendibari5010 depends on the generation. The e46 3 series was and still is reliable as hell
I'm no Lexus fan but man that lfa sounds good. Just sounds like you're driving something truly exotic.
Well you should be. German cars are not everything.
i come back to this video from time to time and still get goosebumps everytime.
V10 RC F please ! Thank you !
It V8
I know lol, i'm just asking for a V10 in an RC F
+Dédé LABINOUZE Still doesn't fix the lurchy handling in expert mode and overzealous electronic traction control in pretty much everything else.
+VestedUTuber Didn't said it would be perfect, i just said it would have charm. Like a V10 M5 for exemple.
+Dédé LABINOUZE Glitched reply? I see six of the exact same comment.
I would still rather have an RCF over an M4
up there with the best review in Clarkson, Hammond, May Top Gear History! Looking forward to the Grand Tour later this year!
Jeremy speaks with such good rhythm that a car video sounds almost like poetry
That V10 sound is godlike. Lexus caught lightning in a bottle with the LFA ❤
You're as 'EXPERT' as Michael Gambon =)
Tardisius im an expert on cars mate
Lightsaber Lord P373 cringe, mate
Excellent work to the production team...great presentation ..realistic
LFA is that one off from a company that doesn't usually make outstanding cars but hits the nail on the head that one time...absolute masterpiece
You want the LC 500
Thats even heavier than the rc f lol
@@theroyalcrown9165 barely. It won't be out for at least another year. Most likely 2
ZS 5885 lol they canceled the car
@@theroyalcrown9165 GS-F is the replacement for the RC-F afaik
@@AHondaCivicEX At least it's more decent. Slightly better to look at (From my oppinion), more practical and even Clarkson said it's a great car
Who's here in 2019 again just to enjoy the amazing LFA screams
That V10 sound is a screamer... man i love how it sounds... this is V10 done right.... it sounds like a symphony!!!!!
I just love this guy's attitude and common sense and narrative comments great job.
Unpopular Opinion: The RC is not built for attacking corners and destroying tyres. Its meant for grand touring. And when it comes to that, no one makes a better grand tourer than Lexus. Its for a different audience. I love it.
And looks and sounds good while doing it
Love BMW that just let me down so many times with reliability
Love the Honesty of this Commentator ...job well done!!!
This is so good, so damned good!!! The new cast is never going to be as entertaining as this!!!
I came here for the BM.......
LFA has the best engine on a production car ever. I'm in love.
I know the shaky cam and the slow mo and the scene transitions are all marketing gimmicks. but God I love that sound.
The LFA V10 has one of the all time most unique sounds ever! It sings like an automotive soprano!
Top gear can't copy the spirit and soul of Clarkson
Habib Alrahbi i
That LFA sounds like an F1 car, amazing!
Beautifully explained and spirit of enthusiastic..
The LFA is just breath taking and will always remain my dream car, but I don't think the rcF deserved that,there are other people who test drove the rcF and took it on the track and got better results than that. FYI the rcF and m4 is almost equal,and it possesses many better qualities than the m4.
I agree, I think that jeremy just drove the LFA before and had really high expectations when the RC F came out. And too be fair its almost as if he crashed it just so he could have another excuse to drive the LFA.
Christopher Sangster lmao no it's not, it's not faster,shitty handling, etc. but rcF is cool csr
Jecky I never said the rcF is faster or it has the best handling I said that others have tested the rcF and managed to track it without getting it in the grass and it has a few qualities that’s are better than the m4 such as the sound interior and looks in my opinion and as far as speed the m4 is not faster by much than the rcF
Jecky It's slow.
Lexus is my favorite car. Excellent performance.
Ken Wong Clearly not
But where will each car be in another 1k miles? BMW in the shop Lexus on the track
I'm in love with the LFA's sporty sound , its just amazingly sporty
+satyam shukla It's the best sounding production car ever, in my mind. Sounds like a Formula 1 car.
+satyam shukla Fun Fact: the engine was actually co-developed and tuned from Yamaha's Music division.
Jeremy is so good man, I'm starting to listen to him like a religious listens to a priest...
The RC F will go 200,000 miles driving it everyday. The BMW will break the bank after 90,000 if you insist on keeping it.
90000 ? You mean more like 40000 The engine the m4 has is known to break a lot
Ok and you buy these performance cars for reliability?
@@victornag5230 i dont think anyone buys these for reliability but, what fun can you have with a car if it Breaks down all the time or you are using it as a daily driver
@painclaw i don't even heard any of the M4 that easily break. You just either hate BMW or just purely underestimated the S55 robustness that is only in a higher level with B58. Hell even Toyota approved to use it in the A90 Supra, what would you try to argue?
@@baoquoc3710 i never said the b58 is unreliable.. I said that the s55 is, which is true
Brilliant video, so well done.
今見ても素晴らしい映像 この3人のTOP GEAR が見れないのは残念です。
funny who TG is still uploading videos with Jeremy XD
i really dont know how many times i've come to hear the lfa's engine in this video!!! +_+
Da sound on 3:49 tho
Closing sentiments, about transplanting the heart and soul of the car, gave me chills. What a talent. What a loss.
the RC F is a great car, great speed, great drift car idk what he didnt like or why he couldnt drift it
If what you mean by RC-F is a great drift car by striping it down & gave it extra power, i'm probably agree with you. But if it still in stock condition, Clarkson probably got a point. Especially considering it's quiet heavy for a sportscar standard, let alone for drift
Clarkson loves the GSF however, he put it above the M5
That’s an expert use of driv- oh I’m on the grass - Jeremy Clarkson
He doesnt know how to drive lol
0:23 bug face .
Technically the ppl who made LFA did not make the RC F since it was a different crew and plus long driving in the Lexus is like travelling in a cloud when compared to the M4's thin and uncomfortable seats . So Lexus has made a good, RELIABLE and comfortable car that has power. Hence why the RC F is just better as a CAR than the M4. The End !
876 comments basically saying "I like Lexus" or "I like BMW" or "I like Mercedes" or anything else that someone happens to like... Just in the form of a long and complicated mini speech.
not a single word about bmw *except "bmw just flies away ") in a 7 minute video nice comparison bruh
This review of the RCF really became a 2nd review of the LFA and it's greatness!
Its actually an episode for LFA. Love it
That moment of pure ear candy after 3:16 ~_~
3:29 - 4:40 Epic sound..
Love the way they show the Lfa's v10
my pops has the RCF and let me tell you, for a daily driver it's one hell of a car haha
A car which was designed in the age of engineers and completes in the age of programmers.
Lfa is a master piece ❤️❤️❤️
I am addicted to the sound of the lfa!!!
Now this is the last top gear video with the best trio on any show ever
As much as I like Jeremy, this review was extremely unfair for the RC F. It definitely is more biased towards grand touring than a sports car and I'd take it over the M4 every day because of that V8. Especially at 0:54, even the M4 would understeer with a full lock like that.
this LFA engine is something special..from an other planet..
IQ G planet yamaha..
RC F isn’t a Sports Car because believe it or not, Lexus didn’t make it with the intention for it to be a performance car, like how they did with the LFA
that closing statement was spectacular
4:17 the best part :D
