Imagine spending years pouring your heart and soul into designing and building this car and then Clarkson releases this review.
The ultimate appreciation
Oh my God 🥺🥺
the designer is on jay lenos garage, maserati touring superleggera , another masterpiece.
They must have celebrated for a month. Clarkson has just confirmed that they have achieved everything they have strived for, and more. And he is not a kind of guy who would be easily amused.
That is a great honour for Jeremy Clarkson to love your car that you have built and designed.
It is extremely difficult to impress him.
Probably one of the best edited and filmed segment of top gear ever.
f12 must watch
That review and this one are by far my favorites.
Yeah they just make you fall in love with car.Especially the location,music and photography.**excellent**
+Suraj t s I'd say it's a porn
It was even better with the original music from "Road to perdition". That is on Vimeo somewhere. That was simply jaw dropping!
Jeremy Clarkson is one hell of a journalist. He can make you laugh and shed a tear in a 8 minutes span. This man is brilliant.
Not for nothing, sometimes he's frightened by his genius....
4 sure.....Jeremy is my fav.More and more i have realized the quality of production too.....and amount of work required 2 bring it home finished.
He is! 😭😭❤️
100% true&correct👍
..Ultimate Journalist Man!
Exactly that!
Genuinely had a tear dropping on to my phone, after the way he said he loved that car.
But before I could wipe it off, he pulled his stupid “in love” face.
Burst out laughing! 😂
As a Milanese, this video just fills my heart with joy; Milanese car, filmed in the mountains of Lombardy - a true celebration of not only Italy's car industry, but also Italy itself.
Paolo Tabone il passo pordoi è in trentino Paolo. Comunque, da milanese, concordo in pieno.

viva l'italia tutta nord centro e sud
I have driven on all continents of the world. I did a Euro Tour with my car in 2011, crossing 12 countries. I also raced a lot of cars on tracks everywhere in Europe. But the most beauty in driving, the most joy I ever feeled, was in Italy. Italy is such a beautiful country. Empty mountain passes, long history, so many nice villages and cities left over from the renaissance era. Italians are passionate about cars, coffee and food. This year I went from Germany to Switzerland, crossing Furka-Pass and going to Turini, from there over the french alpine mountains (Route des Grandes Alpes), to San Remo, Portofino, Montiriggioni, Siena, San Marino, Maranello, Modena, Venezia, Bardolino, Bormio, Stelvio - all driven on b-roads (no Autostrada) with the roof down of my Abarth 124 down. :-)
Even the Carabinieri told me to go fast. :)
@@streameant fuck off
“I love that car. I really do” you know he really means it
I also do mean it when I say I love that car
He said he loved a lot of cars he drove on the show over the years, but the first time i heard him saying that he loved this car, i knew he meant it more than ever before. I dont know if it was his face of pure joy, the emotional tone of the piece playing tricks on me, or the way he said it, it felt the most genuine ever
Yes, the car in the Bond film
Jeremy was born for this
Wonder why he hasn't bought one yey. He has the cash so they must be extremely rare.
Watching this again at the beginning of 2024, still fills my heart with joy! Goosebumps!!
Same here bro! I became a fan of Alfa Romeo because of Jeremy. Next month I'm going to buy my first Alfa ever and my heart is exploding from emotions ❤
@@arbrimehdija5821 Congrats man! I can only imagine the feelings you're going through, like a dream come true! I hope someday I can get one too...
I remembering seeing this episode when it aired. It was a masterpiece of sound, videography and editing. The best single segment they ever made.
The car is a work of art also.
The editing, videography, its all beatiful no doubt. Although the quality is really good, i personally think that this car looks absolutely hideous. It is really ugly
@Sinan Yazicioglu we're all entitled to our own opinions. Unfortunately, yours is wrong.
I mostly agree with your assessment, this is a great car review, but I'd have to say the Aston Martin Vantage is still my fav - Eno's music and especially Clarkson's commentary make it transcend being just a car review.
Oh yes 😭😭 That was such a long time ago as well! 😭
I totally agree. Masterful.
6 years later and i'm still in love..
I still don't get it
@@fritsb8788 He still loves the car...
@@aseempawaskar252 Sherlock.....
@sayrxx official duh....
Same here.
This is proper Top Gear. God I want this kind of quality back.
I'd be ok with just having proper humor back...I barely laugh watching Top Gear anymore. These new hosts just aren't as funny and they don't have the same chemistry as the "three musketeers" did. :(
All they need to do is cane Clarkson in public for five minutes and proclaim after that all is forgiven. Then we can get back to a proper Top Gear, and Joey from Friends can get a respectful handshake and sent on his way with promised guest appearances on a semi-regular basis.
You can't imagine how right I think you are.
don’t we all want them back
The new Top Gear isn't as good as the old one. There will never be another Jeremy, Richard, or James again on Top Gear.
This was Top Gear. A show for the enthusiast, not the junky addict for numbers and figures. It was all about the passion that lives between cars and humans. It was so many things, it still makes me sad...
TheSantiayo I know nothing about cars. I don't even know how to change the oil properly. But I loved Top Gear. I was able to get excited about the notes in between, not the genre itself. And Top Gear supported that and added to it, because they felt the same way. The sounds, the pageantry, the passion of it. The heritage, the history, the importance of it.
Top Gear was and still is special to me.
Michael Tom They (Clarkson, Hammond and May) are going to make another car show together on a different net.
+Drank Bak
yes on Amazon prime. They now have a massive budget to complete the new series.
+TheSantiayo, if you enjoyed the original Top Gear you may want to check out Davide Cironi’s series on UA-cam, I think currently he is the only person who can take us back to experience a car like these guys used to. I think his videos also come with English subtitles, I feel lucky because I speak Italian, however many English fans have begun following his work and he is now having his videos subbed. For a good video to start I recommend watching Davide Cironi review of the 80’s Alfa GTV6, I think you will enjoy.
Поздрав, So strong words. One of the followers 🚘🏁
That Einaudi muaic and jeremy's commentary just hits me in the heart...

+giavo I have to disagree, the cinematography in this video is amazing on its own.
XBR4Da Was this shot in the Dolomites?
yes it was! Specifically around the sella group, on the passes between Alta badia and val gardena.
For me, the best place in the world! ;)
Doesn't matter the subject. Cinematography, if done right, can enhance any subject, even a Panda.
The car is great, but the video shots and editing and simply amazing. Hats off to your video production team from a guy who's been tinkering with video for 40 years.
Cheers - we'll definitely pass it on!
THEY REPLIED!!!
They did reply 😆...... Awesome video though, the crew out did themselves
I agree. The video really brings out the beauty in this car.Great skills
***** Sorry Top Gear production team :( hope you'll be able to find work somewhere else and bring your skill with video editing with you.
R.I.P. Top Gear- You shall be missed...
This is a masterpiece. I never get tired rewatching old top gear episodes
This is one of the best top gear car reviews, I've ever watched, the cinematics facing Jeremy on the bonnet is like out of a movie of sorts, I've never seen that before in any other review. This is better than the new top gear, they did it better back then, but now, it's just, not the same, and it never will be again...
Totale agree!!
Form time to time I re-watch this highly emotional review form that magister of English journalism

The way he describes a car, like describing a living thing, Jeremy is just epic.
why do i keep watching this video again and again??
because... it's... beautiful *rubbs off tears*
probably because of the track 'experience' by Ludovico Einaudi

Who shot this? They should be making freaking movies. Beautiful execution of a beautiful car!

Jason Enrico it is magic. I just... this video and car is pure magic. It does something to me that i dont understand. Wierd but exquisite.
Jason Enrico It's a shame really. This car is gonna be one of the last beautiful cars due to how the car industry is moving towards more futuristic and quite ugly designs.
this is oscar material for me.
jezusmylord hello?

Bloody hell the best combination of cinematograhpy, soundtrack, journalism and narration. Hopefully the members of this brilliant team that absolutely reached the pinnacle of TV in 2013-2015 get together and make something again sometime.
This is the Top Gear I fell in love with. The cinematography, the no holds bared review, the history into present presentation and watching Jeremy Clarkson fall in love with a hand made Alpha.
I gotcha Racer...is a beautiful melding of the senses that Jeremy makes you privy 2.
Alfa*
To me this video perfectly demonstrates the profound magic that made me fall in love with Alfa so completely
Ando Vermeulen Moreover, this video depicts all the passion I have for driving and cars. Some people look at my BMW 318ci and laugh at how much I adore my car and mock me about how I’m easily smoked on the lights or how my 0-100 is pathetic. But I ignore them completely because there comes a time where I’m all alone on a mountain road with my perfectly balanced RWD little sports car, fitted with sticky performance tyres, and I put all my heart into doing the perfect shifts, hitting every apex and going out of a bend with just the right amount of revs so the descrete rumble from under the bonnet can make me eargasm. There’s no explanation for it and it’s pointless to explain it to normal people and even petrolheads that are all about tuning shitty cars so they can brag about some meaningless figures.
Can totally relate
@@nikolamladenoff3516 if you love your car, and it makes you happy, what say the people doesn't matter 👍🏻
Nikola Mladenoff What a great post. It doesn’t what car anyone owns as long as they enjoy driving it, that is all that matters. Keep enjoying those mountain roads 😊
@@corneliusscipio777 my alfa 147 has costed me quite a lot since i bought it... and my dad keeps urging me to sell it, because it will break down, as alfas do. And I say... Yes, I expect it will, but I love it, and my vacations and free time will go into fixing it and making it better!
This is the greatest car review i've ever seen !!!!
You should also see jeremy's review on the Aston Martin V12 that is, to me, the most amazing car review that I have ever seen.
***** I know very good alfa's story I got a 1976 spider 2000 which I take every week-end for a spin, I adore this brand, I'm not this kind of teenage sh*tbag who just looks for horsepower and aggressive lines. I let that for AUDI fans. I love the beautiful Italian shapes, the way these cars are full of little drawbacks that makes them so special, you need to know these cars to drive them, you can't just let them be driven properly by anyone else. I just wanted to speak only about the amazing video editing they did on the vantage V12 review, not about the car itself (which is also absolute perfect but not as much as the work they did on the disco volante)
+Raed Sakly stunning quality from this shot, the best video of a car of all time!
P1 from Clarkson for me.
The 458 review, Lexus LFA, McLaren P1, LaFerrari, Porsche 918, Bentley Continental GT, the history of British Racing Green by Hammond, Clarksons Jag E Type 50th Birthday, Pagani Zonda R ... There have been so many....
I have small tear dropping from my eyes everytime I watch this..the best few minutes of old top gear ever produced...❤️
long live to Jeremy who was the man who started my passion for this brand, almost 10 years ago. Thanks to him my first and actual car is an Alfa and i feel like its not gonna be the last one.
Alfa may be criticized for her defects mainly due to company wrong decisions, but there's no brand on this planet with her history and charm... That's the point 😍
What?! A tear jerker from TOP GEAR?
This car is truly beautiful...
Jeremy Clarkson
The editing was seamless...
Try the V12 Vantage video on for size.
It happens more than you'd expect with top gear reviews
Looks pretty weird to me
- What do you do for living ?
-I'm designer for Touring in Milano.
- Can i kiss your feet ?
Or his/her blessed hands
Ill do it ;p
Hey ZEMMMMOUR, çava?
Sérieusement cette voiture est un chef d'œuvre des temps modernes.
I think even if I meet either a sheet-metal worker or perhaps a janitor who works at Touring in Milano, I'd still kiss their feet with a handkerchief and ask for their blessing before I go on my day. Having said that, I won't mind even being their lawn caretaker, if they'd ever need one. That's quite how in-love I am with this particular car. =D
Dédé LABINOUZE this is by far the best comment ever written on youtube!!!Bless you man and bless all the guys at Touring!
To me, this is one of the best looking cars ever built
it's ugly, but not as ugly as the RZ Doug reviewed
@@saidalas7763 yeah it,s maybe not the "best looking" by modern car-manifacturing stadards, but you can simply see the emotion and passion put into it, which to me makes it way more beatifull than any ferrari or whatever is out there

My personal favorite to date is the Mercedes-AMG GT R, but this Alfa is certainly giving it a run for its money.

7 Years later and the Disco Volante still quivers and shakes my heart in this Clarkson Segment
I have seen so many automobile videos, but this , this is something special which I cannot explain. the original top gear is no more. so sad when I feel that. at the ending, the music of Ludovico enaudi, sound of this beautiful car and poetic words of Jeremy. most probably the best car review of the history of mankind,,,............ no words to explain.
JAGUAR JO I've seen this video many times and it always make me feel like I wanna cry, I'm a alfaholic and the words from Jeremy Clarkson and that music is really impressive.
cant leave out the seamless editing, scenery of the road, and great camera work
Indeed good sir, indeed
I didn't even realize the Ludovico Einaudi - Experience at the end. Wow no wonder there was so much pathos in the end. I just love this car to death because it has such class and beauty, yet a classic muscly exhaust note toned down to soothe and relax. That is like the perfect recipe of a car that entails harmony in my life.
Whats the name of the song?
I agree for you all who says this car is ugly. I do, but thats how almost alfa looks at the first glance. but the more you look at it, the more you'll feel the essence and beauty of this car. then you'll fall in love. you have to have sense of art to see alfa romeo beautiful
Very true, buddy. Its like falling in love with a hot college girl of the future.
they must be blind..
The same happened to me when I first saw the 156. I thought to myself: "What have these guys in Alfa done?!" More than 15 years later I'm still in love with that car.
very true, alfa designs might look uncanny and odd at the first glance, but then it will always grow on you as the time pass by and finally you say to yourself "they're right, their cars are beautiful"
It looks elegantly weird, if that makes sense.

Ah, Ludovico's music worked incredibly well with this short.. Particularly with the engine's backing vocals. The music by themselves is amazing, but with Clarkson's narration and the engine... Phwoar, goosebumps all over.
+Andrew Guo And of course, there's always a dash of Clarkson Humour... "Left my home in GeorgiaaaaAAAAARRRRGGGGGH!"
they originally used the mass effect leaving earth ost for British viewers.
+Andrew Guo I think I've heard the musician Clarkson talks about in the video has passed away this week... :(
+Tiago Miranda Otis Redding? He's been gone for some time... Ludovico Einaudi is still alive and well I think
+Andrew Guo I was curious about the song Jeremy talked about - Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock of The Bay, I was expecting a grunty deep voice from the sound it makes kind of like Tom Waits has in his song Satisfaction, but it's actually a soft voice my guess is Clarkson didn't even listen to the song and only looked at the lyrics and name of the singer and imagined how an "Otis" should sound
Hands down this video deserves an Oscar for the sheer brilliance of Jeremy Clarkson !
That man is epic!!
I hope, one day, Alfa Romeo under the UNESCO. The mechanics of emotion
Alfa Romeo is bigger than the UNESCO.
Just hearing Jeremy say "I love that car, I really do." Makes me emotional. I know he says that about every second car he drives but you can tell he really means it here. Great review, really shows what made TG different to everyone else.
"And a handcrafted body to Die for"
This line gives me chills every time...

Now I know why people love Alfas.. Such beauty *
They are beauties no doubt. On the other hand I never had Alfa that worked for whole year without fault. Exagerated. Alfa produce faults on month basis. Most defective cars I have ever had. But beauties... if you dont look at engine.
The busso v6 is one hell of an engine to look at
You don't understand it, until you've owned one. They're temperamental, flawed and have many drawbacks, but they have so much character and so much soul, I have never loved a car as much as my old GTV6.
I drive Alfa over 15 years and i can`t imagine that you ever drove one. Yes they made produce faults especially in the electric but never in the engines you could believe
When you see that Enzo Ferrari was a engineer and mechanic who worked to this company...and see the outstanding design turning this brand so exclusive is like to own a Picasso Art..
I cried

Completely justifiable
Every REAL Petrolhead cried,it is a stunning film.
Crying now...knowing...gessing i will never drive or even see one in real life😈
And at 6:47 you smiled a little... ;)
Italian car, Italian views, Italian music. By far the best Top Gear review ever.
I rewatched this episode last night, and I was almost brought to tears. Stunning work.
Who did you watched it ?
I love Italy!
I love the mindset of the people there. I love the way they live and the way they think.
I love the Language and I do love the Culture.
I love the Art and the Heritage.
I love the Engineering and I love the Craftsmanship.
This Car is Italy! It's Stunning, it's alive, it's drowning in soul and hearth, it's everything great about Italy made into a car!
It has its flaws, it has it's lows, but none of that matters, because once you feel something for it, there is NO coming back.
I love this car. I love Italy. I love everything about it, and I can see nothing that could possibly change that.
I know it is not perfect, that it is not flawless, but for me, it has no flaws.
I try to explain this to people but they don't get it. I worked for many years with supercars, drivin'em across EU, buying and selling them.
I drove EVERYTHING, starting with Lambos and Ferraris, Ford GT, the V10 M5, Bentley GT Continental, even the Bugatti Veyron and so on.
But the ONLY car I literally cried in the bathroom when they took it out of my hands was the Maserati GranTurismo S
That car was ALIVE I swear to God...you could literally play songs by joggling the revs of the engine, the right gear and exhaust note !!
I would smile and laugh even STANDING STILL at every stop light.
Ciao, i am glad to see that you appreciate so much my country,I agree with you ,this car is the italy... I love it.
SpaghettiKillah The Maserati GT MC Stradale will forever be... my favourite exhaust note... always...
just don't like the racism tho
@@SharikhKhan138 For me, the Maserati Quittroporte. That thing, it sounds even better then an LFA for me.
This is why I think Italian cars are the best... some of them may not be reliable ... some may fall a bit short on onboard tech.. some may cost a bit too much for what they are... but.. from a car enthusiast point of view .. and from someone who has the HONOR to live in the most beautiful country this world has ever witnessed ... I simply think that not any other car brand in the world can give you feeling emotions tears goosebumps ecc like Italian ones.. simply sitting in a Ferrari already makes you break a tear.. because you know you're sitting in a legendary thing... I had the privilege to have a little trip with a friend that bought an Alfa 4c... man.. the sound alone made me smile like nothing else .. a lot of people may disagree but I can say at least for me ... no other sport car beside any Italian one can give you that kind of feeling.. and that's why Italian sport and super cars are doing so well.. they're simple masterpieces on wheels (no saying this because I'm Italian, German Japanese American ecc cars are absolutely amazing as well ... I simply think that they can't make you feel special like Italian cars)
That Maserati engine sounds absolutely gorgeous. It almost brings me to tears knowing that they're going to be converting to electric and this engine note will be a thing of the past soon..
Everything in this video is pure excellence. Starting with Jezza, maserati engine, alfa romeo badge, Italian countryside and the cherry on the top Einaudi's Experience as bgm.
This is one of the most special videos on youtube.
"This is the full baby Jesus" love that!! Best commentary he's done on a car!!! Music is just amazing.. You will be missed Jeremy Clarkson
This is why Top Gear is at the top of car shows. In just 8 minutes they are able to make you feel like you want that car more than anything else. Even with womens it works slower. The music, the editing, everything is just spot on. This is getting emotional and that is really high praised.
One does not simply - to not drop a tear when there is a beautiful car with Experience in background
It's 2022 and I've come back to this video once again for like the 100th time.

@@Mando342 thanks a lot
This is a prove that cars aren't only about handling, speed and power. Some cars a much more than that, and I'm happy that Jeremy found a perfect way to describe this car. Cause the only thing that matters in life is love - family, friends, things you love can not be explained logicaly. Love is the single thing on Earth that has got no explanation (except of quantum-physics). I want to say BIG thank you to Top Gear and especelly Jeremy Clarkson, for sharing this amazing car. Sure, I don't agree that it's beautiful car in the world, but I agree with Jeremy's feelings. I think that the point of this video wasn't just to review this car, I think that the point of this video was to prove what really matters to us.
+GetMine - SKEpic I could not agree with you more. This car is strangely beautiful, theirs just something about it that separates it from the Bugatti and Koenigsegg crowd. it is what cars are all about. I will say though, with a gated manual transmission (look at the early Lamborghini's) this would be in my opinion the greatest car in 20 years.
The last half of this video left me with goosebumps. The chose of music and photo shots to go behind Clarkson’s voice was spot on
I dont know why. But every now and then I come back to watch this video.
I have never owned a car, dont know how to drive properly. But all of a sudden this is my dream car and I imagine driving this masterpiece on the streets of Italy.
this is why i'm proud to be italian.

Ignore the troll replies. Your nation makes some beautiful cars and I'm from the UK!
zeno toffali You should be, i would do anything, for my country to have an automotive history like Italy.
italian man=n°1
We germans may be the best engeeniers in the world, building longlastig, fast and conftable cars,
but italian cars are most beutiful things in the world, and i envy them for their craftmanship.
Maserati Quattroporte, Alfa 8C etc.
simplebodo you're right about fast and comfortable German cars but longlasting is almost a myth after mid 2000s.
It's true that today any car has the same expected life. Based on my experience, I'd say reliability has become just a myth. All brands are equally now.
My grandpa had a lot of out of the box electronic issues with its various Mercedes
I had one big out of the box issue with my Abarth Punto (broken diaphragm, entire clutch mechanism had to be changed), for the rest the car was perfect.
I have some small out of the box issues with my BMW (HiFi speakers creaking and Front Window ventilation making some noise)
I had no issues with my old Mazda 6, except standard things because it was getting old (clutch issues mainly).
I had no issues with my Fiat Barchetta (just once the front window sweeper's engine broke but it was REALLY cold, like -5C, so something was frozen).
Statistically it's hard to say with such a small sample, but all in all, I'd say no Brand is more reliable than any other. And certainly not nationality. Look at Opel, probably one of the worst company in terms of reliability (on it's Diesel cars at least)
>long lasting
Riiight. In the same sense that you can trust a greek accountant.
Italians have always been great designers. Be it clothes, cars you name it. They understand style like no one else.

Still come back to this video today. The soul, passion and love that comes from this clip is unbelievable. Really is a testament to the golden era of Top Gear
One of the most beautifully designed cars ever
The first time I saw this car I immediately thought "Now what the hell is this?" I honestly did not understand it. But as I watch the video again and again, I begin to realize the true meaning of the design. As far as I've deduced, the reason why so many call this car "ugly" even though it actually is a masterpiece is because its unconventional. you never see this kind of design replicated in other cars nowadays making it hard to understand. A good example of this is the line that connects both door handles which passes around the whole front of the car where the wheel arches, the headlights, and the grill all connect. It is one uninterrupted line that you can never see in today's design. You have to approach this car the same way you approach art - remove all your previous notions about what is right and what should be, then you'll realize its true beauty.
One of Clarksons more intelligent reviews rather than just going round the Top Gear track going POWUUUUURRRR. He actually analyses it and describes it in perfect detail.
This is my most favorite Top Gear segment of all time in terms of single car spots. The cinematography, music and editing is at it's peak here, and Clarkson once again knocks it out of the park with witty analogies and passionate sincerity. Also love how the aspect ratio changes at 3:14 and again at 6:37 to let the audience breathe and admire the car and the scenery surrounding it. Crazy how 10 years later car youtubers are still trying to capture the essence of what made these Top Gear segments so great in the first place.
This video is hands on the best video segment Top Gear has ever made for me. The background music, story, the car itself obviously. EVERYTHING about this video is perfect. This is the Top Gear I’m addicted to
this is a car that u either hate or love it is like art
Like the 8C it's based on.
TraustiGeir Like Alfa period
GrandDesignsSims true lol
He who owns this car will love and adore it, and will therefore forget and forgive every of its flaws.
My God, what a gorgeous presentation! That's real love and respect for cars right there!
The presenter, the car, the location, the videography, the engine noise, the music, the tempo, the style and the emotion- EVERYTHING is absolutely perfect. This review shows what happens when you have the perfect combination of all these things working together
Is it possible for a car to make someone cry?
This car makes me tear up. It's perfection.
I have no idea how many times I've watched this.... and why do I keep returning.
6:25 "I love that car"
The emotion in his voice is everything
The car, the cinematography, the presenter, the music... everything just goes together so well that its beyond perfection, nothing touches the level of quality of this film
What's the name of the song
@@yantchadawg2760 Experience by Ludovico Einaudi
this car is a work of art. A masterpiece
The level of those shots is godlike...
This car is to my opinion the heart and soul of Alfa Romeo!! The most beautiful Italian car!! The definition of passion!!! Wish I had one!
I think the Maserati 4.7 might go down as one of the very best engines ever made. Just so amazing no matter what car it’s in😍
One of the most best and beautiful ,really heart touching episodes of TOP GEAR I have seen so far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Italians know how to make beautiful cars
This?
@@EvanG529 , YES , this car is beautiful.
Much better than Japanese cars
@@kunjikorans The Japanese are nowhere near the level of the Italians.
All the Japanese do is make cars that sound shit and sometimes look bad.
@@mattr9309 , I think Japanese cars r more reliable than Italian cars.
But they dont look that good compared to Italian cars
@@kunjikorans Don't bash my opinion but 8C>>>>
Everytime I wanna get some goosebumps I come back to this.
Jeremy gets cars. He understands them on a deeper level. It's hard to put in words what I mean. Petrolheads know what i'm talking about.
there will never be another group of guys that truly capture what it is to be madly in love with cars and how they make us petrol heads feel. they way they view and talk about them is truly unmatched. i owe so much to those three for all the knowledge and my continuous growth in passion for cars. it’s reviews like this that constantly remind me of that. one of the best ever made.
The Editing, Cinematography, Jeremy's voice matching the soundtrack.. this is why i watch UK Top Gear.
I must watch this video again and again, I am so proud like alfa fan ☘️🇮🇹
You are an " Alfista"
This is probably my 50th time watching this. Goosebumps every time.
that F430 lights. they fit so well
Jeremy Clarkson will always be known as "the King of Top Gear". He makes the best car reviews all around I've ever seen!
Thank you Mr. Clarkson and Top Gear for all those great moments all over the years, really thank you!
This is the most beautiful car ever!
This is what top gear used to be! An astonishing video on a superb car
tomorrow we're goin to Passo Pordoi with my Alfa Romeo. Feel the same emotional passion like this. Feeling goosebumps again in 2022. Thanks Jeremy.
why top gear why? did you have to end! i wanna cry! the editing, cinematography is just so suited for the way this amazing show is!
