The Jacob & Co Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch goes for $1.5 million US. So the actual Bugatti Tourbillon automobile for $4.1 million US is an absolute bargain.
That car just joined the list of rare cars that are all simultaneously the most objectively beautiful car in the world along side cars like the 500 trc, the Maserati bird cage series, ferrari's P series, the tipo 33, gullwings, slrs, 107s and pagodas, all paganis, the miura, gt40s, etc. And omg that instrument cluster is an engineering feat and exquisite work of art just by itself. They said love your gated shifter pagani, but hold my case of patruse
I kind of get it though. Sam doesn’t use the GT3 like Tony does, leaving it at the Ring and using it on track. I think he’s scratched the itch and his life is different now. Although, I’d prefer he bought a front engined 812, they’re a lot more money!
@@kevletmein Agree. I'm sure he loves the GT3 but his other car is his "forever" dream car. It's obvious which one will go to make room to scratch that front-engined Ferrari itch he has. Sam in an 812 would the bomb!
You should organise some STG karting/track days. You could tour the country hitting all the karting and car circuits. What about a STG drag day at Santa Pod, that would be a laugh?
Sam I called this a year ago! At a BGT live event I said having a baby would change your approach to sports cars. Love this type content as a family man myself people so often overlook the l”entry level” more practical sports cars but they are bloody brilliant! We have three Roma’s in our street so you are not the only one thinking this way! 🎉
Having owned an R171 SLK55 AMG for 3 years, Tony is bang on. Absolute dog of a car, but the engine and sound (once X-Piped) makes up for it. Proper fast bit of kit as well for the modest-ish bhp figure.
We've gotten too comfortable as a society living vicariously through people. If Sam saw the M and decided he wanted one .. he OBVIOUSLY wouldn't sacrifice the CS 😂. Some of us behave as though everyone should get track focused versions of everything 😂 Who cares about the family right ?
I love the portofino for being this generation of ferrari's boxster but its definitely going to be this generation's mondial in about 15 years or so. And i actually like the mondial
The portofino gets way too much hate in my opinion. It’s a drop top GT cruiser, it’s not meant to be the epitome of track performance! But even still it’s a proper RWD Ferrari with a 600+hp twin turbo V8 and a DCT. It’s still rapid and sounds good but you can also cruise around in style with the roof down. If you want a Pista get a Pista, different cars for different markets.
Sam!!! God damn!! Don’t do this!!! Keep the GT3!! Just came back from a drive with my 991.2 GT3 Touring, the Portofino is for old people that don’t like drive active!!! Don’t do it!!!
The inventor of the Segway - Dean Kamen - is alive and well, and continues to invent a range of different things. You were thinking of the guy that later bought the Segway company, who drove off a cliff in a Segway.
Back in the day, I knew German Lambo and Bentley buyers that specified their cars be manufactured on a German production line, usually at the Gläsernen Manufaktur Dresden
I’d love to see a collaboration with Toyota and Alfa Romeo on a convertible sports car, Basically Toyota make a modern take on the MR2, but there’s an Alfa Romeo version of it that’s an Alfa Romeo spider. Like a better version of the Mx5 Fiat Spider colab
FYI Mr Segway didnt invent it he bought the company. His name was James Heselden and he made his fortune inventing the Stone Cages that the military use to build as blast walls round over seas bases. Camp Bastion in Afghanistan got its name from the company Hesco Bastion which is based in Leeds where James founded. They have a Harrier Jump Jet outside the main office block. I personally know his son Jason who is a massive petrolhead. He has a 918 Spyder in his collection...
The inventor of the Segway didn't die. Dean Kamen is the inventor of the segway and is very much alive, you are thinking of Jimi Heselden who bought Segway from Kamen.
@@maxvinzi He has a Panamera. How many practical cars do you need? The 550 Barchetta would serve both his needs, a front-engine GT, a classic car vibe, and a limited production V12 Ferrari which will only shoot up in value.
The Purosangue (is that how you spell it?) is an SUV. It is unnecessarily tall, offers ridiculously little space for its size, rides on windmill sized tires and looks just horrible. The high seating position, its proportions and incapability to go offroad make it an SUV by definition. I will never forgive Ferrari for making such a vomit comet the successor to the FF and GTC 4 Lusso. Those were tasteful cars, shooting brake or estate.
Sam do not sell the GT3 for a Portofino 😂 they’re lifeless. If this is even something you’re remotely thinking of, then honestly, get a Cali T, 2/3 of the price and just way less “fake”. Spent a lot of time around both and Cali T is just such an unreal car. More than quick enough and just as much as a Ferrari as the Portofino.
Opposite ends of the market, but would you consider a collab episode with AutoAlex on his cheap, (and broken!), 360? Cheap compared to well looked after?
I do find it interesting that you guys give Koenigsegg a hard time but wax lyrical about the engineering feats of this new Bugatti. It’s seems inconsistent. Koenigsegg are at the very cutting edge of automotive engineering, making powertrains, electrics, and new gearbox technology (just to name a few) that blows everyone else out of the water, but you don’t give them nearly as much credit as you do Bugatti.
@@hjvh78ho Sam has wanted a GT3 for years, to say he bought the car to flip it is completely untrue. You have to be a new viewer to have an opinion like that.
Whenever this channel gets asked about buying a car, it is always Jag F Type, 911 or Cayman... yawn. Do you actually know the relative servicing costs of Aston Martin in comparison to the cars you suggest, or just operating off your default reflex to poohoo other brands? Like all older cars, there are countless independents that probably know more about the platforms than your average dealer and a cheaper servicing price too!
Sorry borefest. Multiple cars. Swop after 5 minutes. Too much like the majority of other car channels. One car garage is much more interesting to most. Harder than having multiple cars in the garage. Tiring at the price point discussed though. Please get back into the real world. Talk about cars that more can afford. I like ,y cars but have a monthly limit and none of these cars would be within this healthy budget!
This channel is awful. Lamborghini fanboys, the Urus is a much better car overall than the Purosangue but they won’t admit that because it’s a Lamborghini. Embarrassing
From BBC news... "The millionaire owner of the Segway company has died after falling from cliffs while riding one of his firm's motorised scooters. Jimi Heselden, 62, crashed into the River Wharfe while riding the vehicle round his estate in Thorp Arch, Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, on Sunday. He was pronounced dead at the scene"

Jacob & co. the mansory of watch world. Ugly bloaty unnecessarily fat watches.. Them watches so big one could fit several rats inside them
If the title is true, it would honestly be one of the worst car decisions I’ve ever heard
I haven't watched yet but he's gotta be doing a click bait 😂😂
Definitely click bate, Sam I thought you were better than that?
Seriously, hasn't SAM always wanted that GT3? To trade something like that for a Portifino? At least have it be a 296 GTS or some other Ferrari....
I kind of get it though. Sam doesn’t use the GT3 like Tony does, leaving it at the Ring and using it on track. I think he’s scratched the itch and his life is different now. Although, I’d prefer he bought a front engined 812, they’re a lot more money!

Good choice of the SLK 55 Tony. Obvs biassed as I have one, but you are bang on with your reasoning !
Have to say ‘tw*t laps around Harrods’ is my new favourite phrase 🤣
59:00 You want the EP3 type R, they're a riot. Nothing like a bitta VTEC on a B road. One of my old cars I miss most.

Best podcast of the week. Thanks guys as ALWAYS. Big love. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
love these podcasts guys. been a day 1 subscriber and think they keep getting better. Thank you
23:30 EXACTLY Tony.

The video was self defeating
I love the portofino for being this generation of ferrari's boxster but its definitely going to be this generation's mondial in about 15 years or so. And i actually like the mondial
Great episode, really enjoyed the chat.
Who tf would trade a PTS GT3 for a Portofino??
…… SAM 😂
Someone who doesn’t really want a track day car.
The portofino gets way too much hate in my opinion. It’s a drop top GT cruiser, it’s not meant to be the epitome of track performance! But even still it’s a proper RWD Ferrari with a 600+hp twin turbo V8 and a DCT. It’s still rapid and sounds good but you can also cruise around in style with the roof down.

Love the Portofino M!! The Purosangue is another level, the Urus is just generic!
Saw a Purosanque for the first time yesterday..i actually laughed out load thought it looked terrible..
Can’t believe Tony didn’t crush the C4 WRC replica, maybe he forgot about it 🤣
The issue I discovered with a urus was that when I sat inside my leg would make the dashboard creak feeling cheap. My Toyota dash is more solid lol
Sam!!! God damn!! Don’t do this!!! Keep the GT3!! Just came back from a drive with my 991.2 GT3 Touring, the Portofino is for old people that don’t like drive active!!! Don’t do it!!!
No no, the tour already has 129 people on the waitlist. Also, we have one space remaining 😂

Good episode . Think switch the 911 gt3 out for base car if dream brand maybe a good think.
The Urus is a great everyday car if you need rear seats for kids, but the Cayenne Turbo GT is cheaper and just as good
Sounds like you’d prefer a Carrera T as a road car.
Tony, just get a Thermapen. Chicken 62+, beef 50 plus depending on taste. Fish 60. Very simple. Good luck.
Sam get a 991.1 GTS. Manual, N/A, Carrera body, (if you want) bucket seats, the last real 911 if you dont want a GT-product, real drivers car.
Good shout
You should totally buy a 911 dakar Sam! So right up your street!
Maybe I missed it but is there a reason why they changed from the 12pm upload time?
We will be back to 12pm real soon... crazy busy time of year and we have just been missing our upload slots
Continuing on the v8 engine discussion …V8 powered Toyota GR 86 is a vibe
But the 455bhp one not the mad R
NO YOU BETTER NOT
Back in the day, I knew German Lambo and Bentley buyers that specified their cars be manufactured on a German production line, usually at the Gläsernen Manufaktur Dresden
Swapping a gt3 for that would be a regret down the line

The RSQ8 is an Audi. The Porsche has a GT department engine, the URUS uses the same Porsche GT department engine.
The inventor of the Segway is not dead. The owner of the company died by accidentally driving his Segway off a cliff.
Tony said it all when he said the ‘it’s all about memories’. That’s the essence of our passion for life and cars. Ed
hasn’t the Portifino got a metal folding roof? - which translates to HEAVY vehicle with a SOGGY chassis, after a GT3 ! ?

Honda and Mclaren could come up with something amazing together
The Honda folks would stroke out due to the differences in viewpoint on Quality.
4:31 literally bingo ! First one…
Dear Sam I have only 1 question...R U MAD....bro...? The worst decision I have ever heard....
Just get on with it!
The inventor of the Segway didn't die. Dean Kamen is the inventor of the segway and is very much alive, you are thinking of Jimi Heselden who bought Segway from Kamen.
Get an F12 if you want front engine gt
Amazing decision 🎉
It wasn’t the inventor of the Segway that died the original Segway owners sold it. It was the new owner who died not the inventor.
Why get rid of the best sports car there is for a Ferrari bucket
125 on waiting list with 1 space left???
In the states, we can barely get a good 997.1 for what you guys pay for a 991
