This is so Top Gear like, straight up nostalgia
Fast car with Hammond behind the wheel? This can only go south...
Hammond: it's got 3,000 horsepower... Everyone instantly: And they let you drive it?!!
The insurance premium for Hammond driving this must read like a telephone number 😅
Hammond + Fastest Car= Where can the helicopter land?
Somewhere on a farm, Clarkson is shouting, “Hammonddddddddd!!!!!!!”.
I had Hammond and his brother in my Cab from Chelsea to Mayfair and he is exactly the same in real life , funny and polite . Hats off to the man
With no Clarkson or May gaslighting him this seems to be fairly safe this time
Acceleration ❌ Relocation ✅
0:10 Well they posted the video, so I guess he's not dead.
Was he wearing the velcro jeans so they wouldn't have to cut them off?
Is that a lucky charm on your wrist or is it a hospital tag? 😅😅
No trousers were cut off in the making of this video.
“First western journalist, in the world, to be given the chance to drive this car” So the manufacturer said, “it’s got more than double the power of the Rimac Concept 1, and goes as fast as the Vampire rocket car who should we let test it first? Well we need someone with experience of both, who knows how to handle them. So we’ll let Hammond test it” 😂
3:36 747 horsepower…. per wheel… let that sink in
Avoid walls and sudden drops in ground levels & probably hills aswell.

I've seen one in Shenzhen. It was also in red, absolutely amazing car
Who ever did the scripting, editing & production of this… kudos. As someone that grew up watching top gear this took me immediately back to being 14 sitting in my living room with my dad. The nostalgic hit is amazing.
I am stunned that its been 20 years since Hammonds accident with the Vampire car! I still remember the news from when it happened, but also Ben insisting on having Hammond fitted with a proper race suit and helmet as well...just shows you how time flies...I was what 15 when it happened now I am approaching 35!
