"you parked your vehicle here, we are towing it"
"uno reverse card"
you towed my car here, now i’m going to park it away
lmaoo
What you speaking? Oh sorry, what is this behind me?
Dead joke
XD
I like to think that none of this was staged and Richard just stole a military vehicle
civilian vehicle, military designed, best of both worlds

@@lukethomas.125one of my favorite moments of all time. 😂 captain slow setting a land speed record.
I am thoroughly impressed that this thing can achieve 70 miles per hour!
It probably does 0-70 in about 5 minutes with all that mass
@@HappyBeezerStudios not really. All that weight yeah, but it also has 1100NM of torque as Hammond mentioned
62-75 mph actually
Torque, it has a lot of torque
Plot twist: it’s a normal sized car but it looks big compared to Richard Hammond
Lol
the more you think about it, the more your point makes total sense
960th liker lol
Damn😂😂😂
Genius! 😂🤣👍👍
How much does it consume?.. Just 1 gas station / mile.
I think the gas mileage is good.
@@jandom9008 17 mpg (13.8l 100km) which is actually not bad. There are super cars that have way worse than that.
@@BoomBangBurn If it really gets 17mpg that is incredible! I'm gonna have to look into that myself, I find it very hard to believe it would get that good of mileage.
It uses diesel tho
No, they’ve had a few set backs in that department. It’s now two (2) gas stations per mile.
6:44 Those tires deserve an award for survivng that
one of the marauders tires blew out too, but the hummer's tires stood strong
Says something about Hummer that the rubber tires are stronger than the metal frame
@@michaelramsey82 This is a real problem with the military version too and why they got rid of them as front line vehicles (not that they were ever actually intended to be used in active combat zones, they were supposed to be for shuttling people and things around bases or behind the lines). They have a flat bottom hull so IED's and mines just shred the thing. Many a life has been lost because of this design flaw. It was competing with a vehicle actually designed with a V shaped hull that was far mroe capable of taking a blast. It was also lighter and less wide so it fit into transport aircraft better, but it was made by some small independent company and not GMC who have more... "presuasive" means of getting contracts with the DoD.
I like how well the bright red armoured car blends in with it's surroundings
"Take a look at this annoying, slow traffic that i'm stuck in now"
I thought Hammond will run over the cars in front of him
Me too
Worse i thought he would fly
I thought the wheels will extend and lift the car high in the air😂
He did, it's in the international realase of the episode
@@ignacioaguirrenoguez6218 can u link it

*Richard Hammond*: Hello? Um, if you're there, I'd like a cheeseburger and some chips, please. _This isn't a riot situation. Don't be alarmed._
So FUNNY!!
4:10 gives you an idea of just how heavy it is!!
That looks like a sensible family car.
Indeed, a great car for a large family.
Not really. The Marauder is more of the sports car. If you want a family car go for the American MRAP
MRAP is a category of vehicle, not a model.

*UBER*
I have an uncle who did XD
@Dakka Dakka Dude For real my dude.
That last part was actually really impressive for that time. I think that's right around when the US finally came around to getting IED resistant vehicles
It's still impressive considering it's a semi production vehicle that a member of the public could buy only way your getting a genuine military designed vehicle is to buy the marauder or buy a second hand vehicle off gov planet or similar military surplus store that being said I'd rather have a mercury marauder than this one
11 yrs and still the best *civil attainable high-protection 4x4*
Hammond 10 years ago: looks like robin gibb
Hammond now: looks like a short italian mob boss
LOL TRUE
He now looks like a British Tony Stark
@@Algebruh2407 does he?
@@shady801 Yeah, he has the hairdo and the goatee. Granted it is a little grey. But there is a resemblance to a older, British tony stark
Looks like al pacino
Imagine the budget for this episode.
the economy was great in 2011, i guess
It was probably sponsored by the producers, because those things aren't cheap and they probably make a lot of money of it
Think about the costs of that McDonalds Happy Meal for Kiddie Hammond
I don’t envy the finance people’s job for this one.
Obviously it was marauder owners that gave it away and say do whatever you want as long as we get aired. Best marketing for them, they would spent way more to try and advertise it in any other way.
Best episode ever. I think I've seen this 5 times now, still laughing my ass off watching it.
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.
> This car costs 300k quid.
> Anyways, let's destroy it and everything else in its path.
Good ol' Top Gear!
Pretty stoopit innit?
Where was the part it got destroied?
It survived the explosion
@@toyotacorolla4268 I mean, it wrecked the back bumper and the rear right tire. Imma bet that's going to be over ten grand to fix. Just buying a set of used logging truck tires costs around $10k, a single one of these tires, being super niche and probably custom made will likely be as expensive as that set of used logging truck tires. The bumper could probably be fixed to a workable point with very little money, but if you wanted to replace it so it's back to factory spec, again, custom part will be expensive.
It probably also damaged or destroyed the rear drive shaft, which again, expensive
It survived the explosion but I doubt they can legally sell it afterwards. So from budget standpoint, the destroyed it.
I am curious to know if it will survive the Beirut explosion .
I really want one just to be safer in Lebanon Beirut
Police: "Pull over!"
Hammond: "No, I don't"
Police: "Understandable. Good day Sir"

“Sir, were gonna have to tow your car”
“no u”
Hammond got a uno reverse card
We're going this way
he doesn’t need the “no u”, he just needs to say, “no”

"I think we just hit a pothole"
Tis’ but a scratch
Well, in all honesty the potholes here in South Africa are so bad that they are probably more dangerous than high explosives. :)

May God be with you man wish you the best we humans having war is shit
This would really help for my daily trips to the minefields with my family!
The Marauder is like
"Don't use plastic, it harms the earth. But not me"
Also the Marauder: "...Unless you pack 7 pounds of plastic explosives under me, then I hurt the earth."
*"This is a good town car."*

Hmmm...
AK's in Salafrica cost about as much as car air fresheners do in the UK or US, so...

Brother please show more offroading video of marauder
Producers: How money money do you need for the episode?
Hammond: Yes, very yes.
How money money
300,000 pounds for the Marauder, 150,000 pounds for the other Hummer, plastic explosives, permits for driving through buildings, the tow test, permits for setting of plastic explosives in a national park, shipping for the vehicles to South Africa, and then the standard travel paperwork.
That's about 1 million pounds for this episode
@@superymariowest2403 most likely the marauder factory sponsored them with the car and extra money. 1m for a company that makes 300k per car is nothing
Apparently top gear had an insane 1.5 million £ per series, and each series only has a few episodes so
Fuck it mighta been 1.5 mil per episode actually

The maruader is the closest thing the top gear crew got to piloting a mech, and sadly, the only one we get :(
Miss these times, when top gear did shit without thinking of the repercussions
What no, there is no way they destroy two cars and just get away with it. It's entertaining as hell but the idea that this *isn't scripted* is just plain ludicrous. Honestly the point is really just a demonstration of the vehicle's abilities, the other stuff is entertainment value.
@@Name-nw9uj dude do you really think that wasn't scripted? They owned the cars, that they destroyed. When movie productions destroy millions worth of stuff, that is justified? It's all entertainment mate. If you're not fine with it then you really shouldn't be here
@@AstroCool99 ...Did you even *read* my comment? I assumed since you said they "did shit without thinking of the repercussions" the show being scripted wasn't clear to you.
@@Name-nw9uj they can still script( for the fans who are not sensitive) and not think of the repercussions( what the society/media/butthurt sensitive people will think) . The logic you're implying is partially right however you're pleading a line of argument that neither makes sense here, nor one I was trying to make.
@@AstroCool99 First of all, what are they even doing here that would have social repercussions? Secondly, you still misunderstood what my original comment said so I'm not really sure what you are arguing about anymore...
Yet pocketknives are banned in England...BUT YOU CAN BUY THIS
Well, YEAH. _You cannot conceal one of those in your pocket._ 😁
Imagine getting stabbed with a car
Attach a fork to the front
Well it's not like it's a spoon or anything!
Keep those spoons away from me. They’re really deadly
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.
As a South African, I am really happy we could have been part of the Top Gear journey. I also watched the Botswana special and that was awesome too. Pity I never had the money to see the live festival as a kid.
"There was a fight between the Marauder and the earth. And the earth ... lost"
The Earth may have lost round 1.
But now it's time to change the tyre.
no way dude thanks for quoting this not like we all heard it in the video as well!
looks like that back R tire lost too... i think the blast blew it loose off the wheel.
The marauder has the power to destory the earth

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.

@Ken Norcott
I'm a little confused. What machine guns?
@Ken Norcott I missed that bit also. Had to look back. Would be great if the 'car' comes with the AK's, altough i think you would get annoyed by the excistence of them, cause legaly you can only shoot in your own backyard.
@Ken Norcott Hehe, you have a point...
Yes
Why not just go for a medicinal M1 Abrams
*puts explosives* pops a tire
*"GOD DAMMIT!"*
Hammond looks pretty smug, until he has to change the tire
Only 7 pounds
7 pounds of explosives
Hummer: blown to pieces.
Maruader: gets a flat tire.
Don't be gullible. They placed the explosives partially buried next to the rear wheel thus causing less damage compared to STRAPPING the explosives to the underside of the hummer. It's all staged for viewers pleasure.

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.
I wanted the stig to take it for a power lap when this episode aired.
Love the marauder
Love Hammond
And I love that they used Kylie Minogue's music!
