It's a good choice, motorcycles were the most logical choice because you won't get caught in traffic and are able to use back roads, but the Marauder seems to fix that, also it looks fun to live in there, you'd be safe forever

Anti tank mines have had 5kg of explosive filler since before WWII. This, in comparison, is just about 3kg. Anti tank mines today use shaped charge effects and other technologies to defeat armor. The crew compartment of the marauder would probably survive an anti tank mine, but the vehicle itself won't.

The back right wheel actually comes off the rim at the end but the dirt cloud covers it up. Surprised I didn't see any comments about that.

"I dont think youd be renting this as a wedding car" Clearly has never been to a Florida wedding.
Yeah, I've seen enough stretched Hummers to know the Chelsea Tractor brigade will be more than happy to splunk their cash renting one of these for their wedding day
Wow, i watched it first 11 years ago when this video came out, at that time i just enjoyed the car and what it can do, seeing this now makes me realize how much money and effort was put at that time into making this video. This video alone must cost over a million dollars.
Quite ironic to see a truck “towing” a tow truck😂😂
3:30
much less the fact that, i really doubt the actual towtruck has the capabilities to hold/pull that much weight anyway lol
holy shit thats funny i will buy this and see if they would fuck with me then ?? i would make them pay to get there trck back
Now this is the only reason why i wanted that vehicle
LOL @ casually sitting inside and just being like "we're going this way" without a care in the world :D

3:15 wow, it even has a automatic doors!
thats so much armor you wont be able to close it up without xD
That's wind in action even my second hand civic has auto doors..,😁
@@Aby7799 Well look at Mr. Royalty over here.
@@vanargrand3199 heyyoooooh!! 😆
This has actual utility. In the event you’re under fire and you need to jump back into the vehicle for cover you don’t have to lean out or reach to close the door. You can hop deeper in the vehicle or concentrate on immediately driving providing valuable life saving time as well.
Honestly I’d rather have this then a Rolls Royce Phantom.
This thing is better looking...lol
@Meyaka Brown the V12 on the Rolls probably doesn't offer much better mpg

@@ianestibeiro7783 who will be pumping fuel from ocean and Refining then. Zombies?
@@AbhishekThakur-wl1pl if the apocalypse starts now. There's no worries at all imagine ur gonna be that one single person alive with all the fuel in the stations etc. Also....i dont think u'll be roaming and having trips around the world in this situation. Like first get a good fortified spot. Go to ur nearest gas station. 77% of the time U'll see a tanker fully loaded near the station. U know for the stations Resupply. Jus find d keys n get that baby home. Done! That tanker alone is enough for 2 months of gas. If that gets over. Head on to the next station. U dont need people to pump up the petroleum from the sea....whats there at every station is enough. Jus enough. 👍
How sure you are that you will will not be a zombie in a zombie apocalypse?
Ennyi év után is döbbenetes ez a videó!! Nagyon hiányoznak ezek a régi jó TopGear videók🥺🙏🏻
this episode was pretty expensive
TOP Nürburgring Videos RUclipschannel I wouldnt be suprised inf the Marauder's manufacturer sponsored it. Its pretty good publicity.
TOP Nürburgring Videos RUclipschannel Nah, Top gear has rented a naval carrier before. This is nothing.

Top Gear; the only people who can spend £1,000,000 to review a £300,000 vehicle
And make millions in profit.
+Eddy Boguslavsky They're insane
+Eddy Boguslavsky Top Gear, they spend $1.000.000 to review a $300.000 vehicle, they make $3.000.000 in profit, and review other 2 $300.000 vehicle, so they make $ 6.000.000 in profit, and they review other 3 $300.000 vehicle and make $ 9.000.000 in profit and so on. It works!
+Eddy Boguslavsky Daaam, That thing come by my house and i kill it!
They use British pounds. Not dollars 💷
This is the vehicle I would drive during a zombie apocalypse
Good luck finding enough fuel for this beast
It's a good choice, motorcycles were the most logical choice because you won't get caught in traffic and are able to use back roads, but the Marauder seems to fix that, also it looks fun to live in there, you'd be safe forever
Or, you know, a bicycle or tricycle is quiet and the only necessity to use it is if you can keep yourself fed and quenched.
Given enough fuel, rather an unimog or something. As big an off road vehicle as possible basically. A mobile home but off road.
@@racer927 it is the best way portable and it makes no noise
The fact it survived that explosion is actually really impressive.
South Africa has a lot of experience with mineprotection.
In Ukraine, it will live for a maximum of 3 months.
@@rplanet_ua thats because ukraine is a modern battlefield and not the bush, the place the marauder was build for. And similar vehicles are in use all around ukraine

This is a rare footage of Hammond in a really detailed 1/10 Remote controlled car.
That is not a car, its road legal tank!
in some country's tanks are road legal. if the gun is disabled and you replace the tracks.
tanks are Street legal in the U.S. and Russia with disables guns. I'm not sure about other nations.
it doesn't have a cannon tho
Its on the optional "Bond-villain luxury package"

Hummer: Explodes into bits Marauder: “‘tis but a scratch”
Marauder, new name for Achmed the dead terrorist.
How much does it consume?.. Just 1 gas station / mile.
The rear end blew up the axel didn't work only the front end drive did and tire blew too so it got lots of damage only thing it survived the hummer did not lol
One of the best Top Gear tests of all time😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
No joke if I had the money I would actually buy this
Same.
Would look like you're overcompensating for something
Same but i would need to have another 300k just to pay for gas

Damn, that thing shrugged off an equivalent of an anti-tank mine
Cause its astronomically higher off the ground than a tank, most of the kinetic energy dispersed from the sides.
And it blew the rear driveshaft off which is why it crawled out in front wheel drive
That was staged most ceartanly
@@nikslobodjanac2665 No it's not, it's an armored vehicle
Anti tank mines have had 5kg of explosive filler since before WWII. This, in comparison, is just about 3kg. Anti tank mines today use shaped charge effects and other technologies to defeat armor. The crew compartment of the marauder would probably survive an anti tank mine, but the vehicle itself won't.
3:30 This made me roll on the floor crying of laughter. 💀
They say ISIS also had these Marauders, until they've learned that exploding in it wasn't as they pictured.
You had me in the first half
😂😂😂
LOL
I don’t feel sad about the cars that got crushed 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
You don’t get it ;-;
This is like a GTA warstock vehicle review lmao

I would say it looks more like the nightshark just bigger.

The back right wheel actually comes off the rim at the end but the dirt cloud covers it up. Surprised I didn't see any comments about that. Even so the big bastard took a couple pounds of high explosive and drove off. Makes ya feel better for our soldiers who've gotta drive these beasts into combat.
