    When he says "9000 RPM" and then "BOOM" and they show the exhausts shooting fire, that part just gives me the chills....

    My favourite piece of Top Gear cinematography. Ever. Production crew didn't get enough credit for this or any of the other films in the later series of TG.
  • @Menace..
    “Porsche used hybrid technology to save the supercar for tomorrow” well said and excellent video. Seven years later and this is still my dream supercar

    Still watching in 2020! This is hands down one of the most beautifully made TopGear videos ever.
  • 1:51 Holy hell, what a cool animation! The production effort on these reviews are through the roof!
  • @milaadf
    The person who edited and produced this video needs to quit and make movies. This was one of the best car video I have ever seen and deserves an award for cinematography. Great job, thought I was watching a movie at one point! Love the Porsche too!
  • @JgHaverty
    I dont really care how it performs. That is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen... good work porsche!
  • @IronMan3582
    I really love it when Porsche every couple of years just goes absolutely crazy and produces a car like this, the Carrera GT and 959 before it are just great examples when the boys and girls of Stuttgart roll up their sleeves and make some magic.
  • It's been 8 years and this still gives me chills down my spine. I would literally sale my soul to drive this masterpiece for a day.
  • The shot at 0:20 is sheer Top Gear olden days brilliance. Seems like a demon that's approaching the mankind, arising from the horizon. Epic.
