Yeah, BBC, kick out that 90's soap opera "celebrity" and make this man the main host! He's damn good at what he does and is his own man, he doesn't try to copy someone else or be someone else!
LupusAries I don't mind Matt, but I think BBC needs more people like Chris to host. Not necessarily known celebrities, but instead a group that can grow together over the years.
I strongly disagree. The narration part drives me crazy, he's clearly reading someone else's words off a script aimed at people who know nothing about cars. Everything is over explained and incase you're blind and missed the knob joke they added in a "whoops". The soul of his youtube vids is completely lost, British this and British that, that's fine, but that's Clarkson, not Chris Harris.
I find first episode fantastic, but the second wasn't that interesting because of that military scene. Beginning was great. Let's wait and see the next one. Let's hope it will be as good as first one.
Chris Harris unshackled from the dead weight of the wreckage of the Top Gear brand would probably be OK. "Harris on Cars" sounds interesting. Top Gear is dead.
It was already expected. When i saw the crew the reaction was, what are these talk show presenters doing in the same room as Chris. Hardcore enthusiasts are another species.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. I come back to it every now and then and its a fresh new thrill every time. THIS would be the car I’d buy if money were no object. 💯
a go pro mount for a bumper is like 10 pounds, and a drone for some aerial shots are like 50-100 pounds on Amazon.It is EASY to get these shots.The editing is the hard bit.
Honestly this review took me back to the Sesto Elemento review. Both Hammond and Harris showed true passion for the cars they reviewed. I always felt the intensity and passion of the Sesto review and (imo) this Vulcan review is up there.
they were boring yes and a immature teenager humor, gone is the british sarcasm and spontaneous unscripted humor, replaced by scripted, over-the-top obnoxious humor... Top Gear had its peak around season 16 IMO, after that they got more scripted and the last 2 seasons of old Top Gear was rather... mehh imo, I thought that the Grand Tour would revive the humor and funny wits
Yes, it was awful. Even though Top Gear has always been scripted (it's a common belief that Jeremy, James and Richard did lots of unscripted banter, but this is not the case), it at least FELT spontaneous. The Grand Tour is just boring.
I'm fan of both Chris and the original Top Gear Trio. Top Gear is now a brand, and as much as I love Harris, he's certainly not fit to carry on with it. He should get his own brand to feat on the BBC, that'd be an amazing car show regardless of it not being named "Top Gear".
adrian5b your right , top gear is said to be worth 300 million ponds as a brand , and and that's not considering the 200 million pounds merchandiseing industry it fuel's , Chris is just a good RUclipsr who I love but he is in no way capable of lifting that weight , this show has enough money to hire A list actors and professional racers . The show is viewed in hundreds of countries, they need someone who was as loved as the old hosts ,
That's the thing. Top Gear was only funny because Clarkson, Hammond, and May made it funny. This is a much better approach toward a car show. Well done, BCC! Well done!
MrHow2fail it's a good choice ,they have realised that that trying to be like the old top gear is just a waste of effort and it will never be as good as before so they are going on a new approach which might work ,
No EV could ever set your senses alight like this with its incredible sound. Just look at Chris' face! He's absolutely loving it. Along with the gears and the fact that it weighs 1350kg, this is just so much better.
ShadowFalcon I agree especially he liked my tweet about the new Top Gear and it's interesting that he convinced his co-host Matt LeBlanc a Ford Focus RS seen in a tweet after the Ford Focus RS episode
Clarkson was a dumbass and got himself sacked. Why are they hating on top gear. If anyone got punched by a colleague they would expect that person to get fired. If you don't you are lying!
"This guy" has taken the best cars in the world to their limits... Jeremy couldn't even put the Throttle down in the 800 HP mode. This guy is taking this car to the limits of it's capabilities while explaining in great detail all the technical aspects of it. There is no Car Journalist that can do what Chris Harris Does. Clarkson made it funny? Which was entertaining? I however learned more about the car and it's limits from Chris Harris.
The new top gear is not half as good as it used to be, but this review was amazing. Now, I like the Grand Tour better than today's Top Gear, but this was the better review of the Vulcan. There are to many people hating on one show or the other, but the truth is, for real car fans it doesn't really matter. We're getting more content than ever before, and both shows must do their best to compete against each other. That can only be good for us, is it not?
Juan Diego González I am with you on car review. Much better review of the Vulcan, but it also seemed too factual. I got bored half way through. Old Top gear played the balance of knowledge and humor better than I think either of the two new shows have managed since.
If you listen closely you can hear the clarksonesque writing in this review. Or is it the fact that hammond tested a supercar on the same track in the last season of old top gear. All I hear is old top gear in this review
This guy doesn't try to be Jeremy Clarkson or one of the others.Chris Evans tried and failed completely. I really liked this review.Top Gear should have him on board permanently.
*Pit Guy*: Chris, please pit now. *Chris' Phone*: I'm sorry, Chris Harris isn't available at the moment, but if you wish to leave a message, wait for the tone ... [*VULCAN ROAR!*]
There's a company called RML that will perform the conversion necessary to make a Vulcan road legal. At least one of them has gotten the conversion. All the other cars in the OP are road legal vehicles. The Pagani's and Bugatti's are definitely not cars designed for the track so why compare them to a track car unless you were planning to use them all on public roads?
Now here's an opinion that will make some people mad: This little bit of actual car driving is better than what I've seen of Grand Tour as of yet. And better than the rest of new Top Gear's content, as well. Chris is, simply put, amazing. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but Gran Tour feels really forced to me... May hating the sound of the Dodge in the latest episode just seemed so... Dishonest. I know it's supposed to be a show, but rather than doing stupid gags like painting fake pictures, I'd like it if they focused on the cars.
Totally agree. Chris is a great car journo and the Grand Tour has been a real let down, feels more like the tat the guys put out on their spin off DVDs
Grand Tour is shite. New Top Gear is shite. Old top gear went shite somewhere along the way. Right around the time they started using faked "races" and "challenges" to pad the show out to an hour. I don't want to watch a "race" that takes up 80% of the episode, when it's obviously not real, since the Range Rover with the cameraman in the back, stayed with Jeremy the whole way. In effect, Top Gear has spent around 15 hours of screen time, racing various forms of transport against a Range Rover full of people, cameras, spares, and food/drink.
This is easily the best video on RUclips. I don't know how many times I've come back and watched it to be reminded of the sound of this beast. RUclips needs a "like again" button.....
Please just run this, drop the other TV/Radio idiots and find a partner for chris, This was more entertaining then both Evans/Grand tour combined. Bring back an amazing CAR SHOW ! !
I am really not TG nuthugger, but CH did much better job here. Straight to the point. Drove the car like it should be driven and present it. Clarkson totally wasted first half of review with stupidity around practicality and seeing his "old-fart" entry in car. Im big fan of british humor but that was not funny. Maybe to some 10yr old. This is car which competes with Zonda R, FXX-K, P1 GTR and you start review with practicality?!? And in the end, especially with these types of cars, CH is far better driver than anyone else in TG (except Stig) or GT (not really fan of that US guy). I hope BBC will support CH on these reviews and leave Matt to think on ways to entertain us, but I wont be sad if I do not see CH making stupid jokes.
I Honestly don't think Chris did better. After this review, I learnt that this car is very fast, light and loud. That's pretty much it. The few details he added about the origin of the name and the Honda engines aren't that substantial. After Jeremy's review, this is what I learnt: *What Chris said (fast and loud) *Not road legal (The cars you mentioned above are, so not in the same category) *How much it costs *The price affords you travel to any racetrack + a team that'll tweak it to your preferences and teach you how to drive it at its max power *No handbrake *Difficult to get into if you're fat or big (I guess Jeremy = fat and The Rock = Big) *Noisy breaks *Detachable steering wheel *Windows don't wind down *No accessories whatsoever Yeah, i know that some of the stuff I added there are unnecessary and just makes me seem like I'm biased towards Jeremy, but my point is that i think we all learnt a lot more about the car from Jeremy than we did from Chris. Chris was just going on about how good it is instead of giving an actual car review
***** For me TG is dead as car review show for 5-6yrs since they become less relevant. Only good part of TG was "show" and specials. Thats why I am happy that I have GT to watch with my wife and hope that CH will get budget to do his part. He is amont 4-5 reviewers I watch. Others are just deflated bags.
have this in FH4, and I cannot begin to tell you how well it corners, you literally can keep the throttle open at any angle smaller than 90 degrees, its insane
Chris Harris is the BEST in this business. He makes Jeremy Clarkson a has been, and that's damn hard to do. This was shot masterfully, the dialogue was superior and Chris is superior as a driver/presenter. Chris Harris is what CAN save the Top Gear brand, if they utilize him properly. As a "vs" comparison of the Vulcan, Chris Harris and Top Gear just destroyed Grand Tour by a country mile.
lol keep telling yourself that chris doesnt have 1 huge shoe to fill he has 3 shoes to fill. topgear will never be what it was and now that we have the grand tour its only a matter of time for top gear.
Well the new V8 Vantage models will have a AMG-derived V8 twin turbo powering it, but given AMG's track record with V8 even with turbos involved, I think Aston made the right choice in engine partnership. After all, the last great M engine was the S65, after which turbos seems to have sucked literally all the aural thrills from every car wearing an M badge since then.
Such a distinct and beautiful sound.. Reminds me of the vacations in italy, standing outside the Fiorana track in the late nineties hearing the F1 cars testing.. Pure unadulterated music The closest thing I can think of, sound wise, besides late nineties F1 would be the scream from the Ferrari 599 GTO.

Are you unaware the manufacturer the chassis, brakes, & electronics per FIA Super-Class regulations.
Say what you want about the new Top Gear, but Chris Harris is still Chris Harris, and that guy is awesome.
that is what I felt grateful, I was afraid that he would change completely after he joined TG, and luckily he's still him.
Charlie Lee ikr and think about it, all we got from this is another good show about cars

Agreed. Been watching Chris for years. He's the real deal. Proper journalist.
This was actually better than the Grand Tour's review of the car tbh
MCSGproject point of the grand tour is to be funny
And it isn't that funny. It feels too scripted and is full of cringe. I just can't enjoy it like I enjoyed watching the trio on TG.

Honestly this review took me back to the Sesto Elemento review. Both Hammond and Harris showed true passion for the cars they reviewed. I always felt the intensity and passion of the Sesto review and (imo) this Vulcan review is up there.

aston martin needs to get into the electric race rimac, and the rest are gonna leave it behind.
Everytime I watch this video, It always bring a smile on my face even on my down days lol
"My face is bending" LOL another quote for my helmet.
Chris Harris, Matt Farah, Carlos Lago. Not that you can every replace Hammond, May, and Clarkson, but those three do come close.
Mendicant Bias Lieberman instead of Lago. Harris has the skills - Jonny can be comic relief.
Tiff is very annoying, like a child.
Mendicant Bias tiff is cringey
Grand tour has had two episodes. kinda early to say, isnt it?
For me, it's Chris, Farah, Lago, and Alex Goy of XCar/Carfection.
Now here's an opinion that will make some people mad:
This little bit of actual car driving is better than what I've seen of Grand Tour as of yet. And better than the rest of new Top Gear's content, as well. Chris is, simply put, amazing. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but Gran Tour feels really forced to me... May hating the sound of the Dodge in the latest episode just seemed so... Dishonest. I know it's supposed to be a show, but rather than doing stupid gags like painting fake pictures, I'd like it if they focused on the cars.
Totally agree. Chris is a great car journo and the Grand Tour has been a real let down, feels more like the tat the guys put out on their spin off DVDs
Grand Tour is shite. New Top Gear is shite. Old top gear went shite somewhere along the way. Right around the time they started using faked "races" and "challenges" to pad the show out to an hour. I don't want to watch a "race" that takes up 80% of the episode, when it's obviously not real, since the Range Rover with the cameraman in the back, stayed with Jeremy the whole way. In effect, Top Gear has spent around 15 hours of screen time, racing various forms of transport against a Range Rover full of people, cameras, spares, and food/drink.
What are you talking about? Anyone in the right mind would agree with you!
This is easily the best video on RUclips. I don't know how many times I've come back and watched it to be reminded of the sound of this beast. RUclips needs a "like again" button.....
Can't imagine what the valkyre will sounds like, and what a beast will be around the track
The Valkyrie is crazy
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
FOUR YEARS AGO
@@sabersz and?
@@xxx.x9836 nothing bad, it just took four years for it to be put into production is all, which I'm happy to see
This thing looks like a Viper ACR from the future!
cutthroat795 a little 😂
but is it better than the ACR ?
Probably...
Jake Malthedor well, seeing as the Vulcan isn't road legal, it'll probably be a lot better on track.
It's basically a LMGTE car on steroids.
cutthroat795 I thought the same thing. Futuristic Viper ACR that will glow in the dark. Mental car! well done Aston Martin
Please just run this, drop the other TV/Radio idiots and find a partner for chris, This was more entertaining then both Evans/Grand tour combined. Bring back an amazing CAR SHOW ! !
Sean Thompson agreed, Chris Harris is a GOAT
Not_ Sean Their good, just get rid of rory, i dont really fancy him on the show
the engine actually kinda sounds like the aircraft vulcan itself
Holy hell that thing sounds amazing. Thank god they had Chris Harris drive it because he's one of the best.

Hi Ace
I am really not TG nuthugger, but CH did much better job here. Straight to the point. Drove the car like it should be driven and present it. Clarkson totally wasted first half of review with stupidity around practicality and seeing his "old-fart" entry in car. Im big fan of british humor but that was not funny. Maybe to some 10yr old. This is car which competes with Zonda R, FXX-K, P1 GTR and you start review with practicality?!? And in the end, especially with these types of cars, CH is far better driver than anyone else in TG (except Stig) or GT (not really fan of that US guy). I hope BBC will support CH on these reviews and leave Matt to think on ways to entertain us, but I wont be sad if I do not see CH making stupid jokes.
Chris Harris is definitely better at reviewing cars, but top gear was some kind of a comedy show.
I Honestly don't think Chris did better. After this review, I learnt that this car is very fast, light and loud. That's pretty much it. The few details he added about the origin of the name and the Honda engines aren't that substantial.
After Jeremy's review, this is what I learnt:
*What Chris said (fast and loud)
*Not road legal (The cars you mentioned above are, so not in the same category)
*How much it costs
*The price affords you travel to any racetrack + a team that'll tweak it to your preferences and teach you how to drive it at its max power
*No handbrake
*Difficult to get into if you're fat or big (I guess Jeremy = fat and The Rock = Big)
*Noisy breaks
*Detachable steering wheel
*Windows don't wind down
*No accessories whatsoever
Yeah, i know that some of the stuff I added there are unnecessary and just makes me seem like I'm biased towards Jeremy, but my point is that i think we all learnt a lot more about the car from Jeremy than we did from Chris. Chris was just going on about how good it is instead of giving an actual car review
Reptilius Maximus you spelt humour wrong
Michael McGrath Thank you for correction. It is not my native language.
***** For me TG is dead as car review show for 5-6yrs since they become less relevant. Only good part of TG was "show" and specials. Thats why I am happy that I have GT to watch with my wife and hope that CH will get budget to do his part. He is amont 4-5 reviewers I watch. Others are just deflated bags.
2:57... I get so emotional from this car, every time I hear that soundtrack. There is so much drama and power to it. How do you NOT love this thing.
Screw all the haters, this is by far one of the best car reviews in Top Gear history
word?
It's all CGI. Cameras can't move like that.
Perfect design, perfect sound, perfect performance! My second favorite car right behind the McLaren F1!!
You are clearly British
Chris Harris + Aston Martin Vulcan + Abu Dhabi = 😍
have this in FH4, and I cannot begin to tell you how well it corners, you literally can keep the throttle open at any angle smaller than 90 degrees, its insane
Chris Harris is way too talented to be stuck here.
Kenneth Tang
That is something I fully agree, but unfortunately, he needs the 💰
Being in the BBC is stuck? that's like saying Messi is stuck at Barcelona… you can't go any better than that.

Chris Harris is the BEST in this business. He makes Jeremy Clarkson a has been, and that's damn hard to do. This was shot masterfully, the dialogue was superior and Chris is superior as a driver/presenter. Chris Harris is what CAN save the Top Gear brand, if they utilize him properly. As a "vs" comparison of the Vulcan, Chris Harris and Top Gear just destroyed Grand Tour by a country mile.
lol keep telling yourself that chris doesnt have 1 huge shoe to fill he has 3 shoes to fill. topgear will never be what it was and now that we have the grand tour its only a matter of time for top gear.
I could sleep soundly while this thing revs up inside my room. This sounds freaking heavenly.
I was in Abu Dhabi for the Grand Prix the week this was filmed. Let me tell you the sound of this thing is just brutal. But also beautiful too.
3:13 his face when it breaks loose so easily
Please turn to 4:53 that sound from hell!
Epic
no 2:56
Harris is the 4th Top Gear Host in my book.
Car + Track = Best Video Ever
as much as i love james jeremy and hammond, this is a better coverage of vulcan than The grand tour one
ian Schweinsteiger grand tour is entertainment this is car nerdism
What a track and a car. They compliment each other really well! Design and engineering behind this car is just mind boggling!
Now this is better than the Grand Tour. Chris Harris for the win....
Now picture this, in British Racing Green. Ah, truly the Mona Lisa of its time.
sooo... putting Aston Martin Vulcan against Vantage S and 2 times Le Mans class champion driver... 20 second headstart.... jeez the Vulcan is QUICK
Chris Harris is an amazing car presenter, long time fan. All this hate on Top Gear should not be associated with him.
it has 2 mondeo engines, can you hear all the amg engineers laughing ?
Wallenst3in
They were laughing... Until they saw its lap time.
Well the new V8 Vantage models will have a AMG-derived V8 twin turbo powering it, but given AMG's track record with V8 even with turbos involved, I think Aston made the right choice in engine partnership.
After all, the last great M engine was the S65, after which turbos seems to have sucked literally all the aural thrills from every car wearing an M badge since then.
tuned by cosworth that makes a difference ;)
"...can you hear all the amg engineers laughing ?
At you, for taking him literally? Yes.
Im seriously gonna miss that soulful sound when everything goes electric :/
The top gear review of the Vulcan seems better than the one on GT
Such a distinct and beautiful sound..
Reminds me of the vacations in italy, standing outside the Fiorana track in the late nineties hearing the F1 cars testing..
Pure unadulterated music
The closest thing I can think of, sound wise, besides late nineties F1 would be the scream from the Ferrari 599 GTO.
"This is a thing you want to drive and drive and drive...."
And want to avoid to see the gas bill all over ... again and again and again ...
_2020 oil prices enter the chat_
2:56 is brutal
Chris Harris is the only good thing Top Gear has.
Just axe Top Gear and give Chris Harris on cars the bbc slot!!
Where's Hammond, clarkson and captain slow?
I hope this is a joke. If not you must live under a rock.
It is I would like them back has hosts.
nathaniel spanne Just watch the Grand Tour M8 they are the hosts on that
Ik but its just not the same
What? TGT is like Top Gear on steroids.
Watching because I just bought my son the hot wheels version of this car. Safe to say he loves it!
Same here! I figured I’d look this car up and surely it’s a beast!
