Fearsome: Noble M600 and Atom V8 at the Nurburgring - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 кві 2012
- This is first time that the 475hp Ariel Atom V8 and 650hp Noble M600 have been to the Nordschleife. They were scary as s***. Awesome times.
We must protect Chris Harris at all costs. He’s our only hope against shitty car review shows/media.
Have to agree with this. He scared me for a while when he did that Top Gear rubbish but seems to be back on the straight and narrow now.
He has a Jack Dee type persona/humour and it suits his reviews perfectly. It "seemed" he was trying to be someone that he is not with Flintoff and McGuinness and playing the fool just didn't suit him.
Harris has car knowledge, skills and a great delivery.
Keep it real Chris.
This was after he drive the F1 car on an icy day ... so I know what Chris sounds like when it's really 'bonkers'
And Mat Watson
We've gone so far back in time that Chris has hair!
The Noble is probably the most reliable supercar with an engine block designed by Volvo and heads by Yamaha.
I guess you haven't seen the tip gear episode where Hammond drives one
@@uninsulatedshrimp5518 The clutch isn't Japanese made :P
he meant top gear a program
@@uninsulatedshrimp5518 gearbox
They originally had Honda engines.
The appeal of the noble is the classic super car vibe. The car is mostly analogue unlike most super cars which have computers to drive them for you. Nothing is better than a manual, v8 mid engined super car :)
Even better is it’s a V12 😉
Noble a thing of beauty My daughter was driven round Castle Donington in one Lent to Wishes 4 Kids from Noble themselves and years later she still talks about the experience as though it was yesterday, She loved the kick of power and the fact it lapped almost ever other sports car on the track.
Chris Harris, I love you! You put me at Nurburgring, in the seat and made me feel every force and fear. Better than even Stuck does in his classic annotation of the Ring. Thanks, amazing!
Chris is without doubt my favorite car enthusiast to learn from. Well balanced in everything required of a journalist specializing in motorsports. His P1 vs Laferrari vs 918 episode is one of the greatest pieces of entertainment I've ever seen, and ever will see.
Anyone who may be reading this should give that a watch, if you havent already. It will make your day.
HOLY SHIT.... Thats what i call automotive journalism! I was literally breathless after all that. Thank you Mr. Harris!
I's pay for this. It's almost funny that this is on UA-cam, for free. What a time to live in.
+Chris Sorreda Chris Harris knows the how to :)
_"You will never be able to drive the Atom really fast on the Nurburgring because it's not a racing car"_ - overtakes one 911 Turbo after the other...:)...!
From the videos I've watched pretty much everything passes the 911 turbos. ;o)
because no one want's to drive in front the rocket that is the Atom
Agree, the presenter is an ass
I think the presenter is fantastic, he provides the feedback mostly as a 'racing driver', not like you guys/girls who set up camber, decat your car and lower it so much you cant go over a bump and cant even drift. The aeriel atom cant be used as a racing car.
He is a racing driver...Google it... ;)
Chris harris could sell dvd's and i'd. Buy. Every single one of them. But then this are free, thanks Drive, i luv u
There is something about the waste gate noise from the Noble that just tickles me. I love it!
I am insanely jealous of Chris. He's living the dream! Lucky guy and very good at what he does!
Brilliant video, thank you! The Noble M600 is a bit of a dream car for me, and the Ariel Atom is just insanity! Mr. Harris, your videos inspire me, I hope one day, I may do what you do!
I'd buy an ariel atom V8 if I had the money. I had a half share in a skiff that used to want to kill me. I loved every minute in retrospect. (L4K)
Luv and Peace.
This video is awesome. The laps and the cars then, I've no words to describe..Thank you /DRIVE and Chris for sharing with us
The M600.. What a thing.
Chris Harris is a real enthusiast, has great driving skills knows exactly what he is experiencing and how to put it into words. He is my first go-to guy when I want to know how X car handles or how the gearbox on Y car performs.
He also doesn't seem biased (he likes British engineering, but he is British, so all well) and seem to enjoy whatever he is given to drive, which is a plus.
The Atom drives like a super-bike with 4 wheels than a car. Point and Squirt. Pass lesser cars like they were standing still! No need to take it anywhere close to the limit around corners as you can more than make it up with mind boggling acceleration. On another topic great camera placement and angles.
It's officially on my bucket list. Atom V8 & Nurburgring. Great video.
The Noble is SO much better looking than its contemporaries IMHO
Oh boy I just love that Noble m600!!! Eventhough I'm a die hard Porsche Fan but if I had the money I take that Noble.. There's just no modern Sportscar fitting good looks, a brilliant manual gearbox, a rare number only made and a stunning performance into one like this does!!!
Fantastic vid!
These two machines are just monsters and the superb running commentary compliments them so well.
Chris Harris is my favorite car reviewer. The Grand Tour / 3 old men is also awesome but as a team and I can't place them in the same category as Chris, he just is the best at this, with his British accent... the best.
2 stroke vs 4 stroke. This video is special to me because it reminds me of when I was 12 and i went from a 5hp 4stroke to a Rotax max 2 stroke the moment was pure bliss!!!! I mean i was supposed to break it in but god damn the power was intoxicating,, and this video brought me back to that point so thank you!!!!!!!
Beautiful machine. This would eat many of the current run of speed 'freaks' for breakfast. That engine has that same immediate urgency as a bike engine. And of course ariel used 2 over a car engine. Ive been in the original and the acceleration is savage but that ride. Wow. Crisp and pure like fresh snow. I know we dont make mainstream cars like we used to but this is world wide legend now and anyone british who has a fraction of a soul should be really really proud! Made in Great Britain is starting to mean something again.
Made in Britain has always been something extraordinary,great engineering,they contributed a lot to the world.Thank you Britain!
Thanks Chris for a really hairy and exciting ride. It's interesting looking at how both cars handle the track, so much raw power and always just on the ultimate edge where we it looks like the tyres are going to give way. A really neat "seat of the pants" ride!
+David Nesbit Couldn't say it better myself brother.
*These two vehicles are some proper proper manstuff.* The Noble M600 has a badass Ford engine in it's sexy British design, and the Atom is racer purism at it's finest.
*TRACTION CONTROL IS FOR POOFS*
M600 Engine is Volvo/Yamaha V8. The same one that can be found in S80 Mk II & XC90 MkI V8 models. The main difference being that noble added two turbochargers...
That Nobel waste gate noise is absolutely one of the best car noises in the world.
These are still the best car videos on UA-cam
This is some of the best motoring video I've seen. Chris' reviews and unfettered commentary remind me of Alain de Cadenet and Victory by Design. Cheers.
That is quite a complement and I completely agree with your perception. I very much enjoyed Alain de Cadenet and still have some of his reviews bookmarked in my browser. Chris has his own style but they both are excellent test drivers.
"The driver's bladder becomes porous", LMAOOOO OMGGG!!!!!!!!
M600 really is an animal. I'm so surprised that there aren't so many more around. Such a beast.
Chris, you have a real talent for making us feel like we're part of the action. Great work!
Anyone else realize they were holding their breath when he accelerates around a turn? Can't imagine what it's like to actually drive one. Owning one of these cars is on my bucket list for sure.
It's so sad that cars will no longer be tested on the nurburgring. It felt like a pretty good representation of the performance.
Marlo Cieraad They will still test on the Nordschleife! They are not allowed to drive for best possible times if they don't respect the speed limits. But the I-pool is still testing and everything.
TeamBoehnisch Yes but the new tests arent comparible with the old ones and without the higher speed the true potential of the car cant really be reached
Marlo Cieraad Yeah thats true. But if you want to compare the cars take the laptimes of Spa-Francorchamps
TeamBoehnisch yeah that is the best alternative
Very poor representation...too many variables for times to be even remotely comparable.
“They take recreational motoring to the edge of sanity”. I love these reviews. Harris’s old work is still his best.
Chris Harris is in my opinion the best motoring journalist out there, he can drive, he's knowledgeable and entertaining. Whats also good is its not just stupid hyperbole all the time like top gear
The Noble actually is a good looking car.
Great looking
Damn, everytime I see the M600 I just want one.
The Noble is such a stunningly beautiful car, no exaggerated features like most modern cars are heading to. Simple, elegant and *manual transmission* .
If they ever sell any in Australia, I may consider buying one
On those side shots, I just couldn't stop looking at those welds on the frame, there are some seriously skilled artisans working at Ariel, that's for sure.
God that Nobel m600 is awesome!
Dear santa...
Can Santa please arrange 2 hours at Spa in the Aton v8, please..............
Forget about the Corvette I've been asking you for twenty years but never getting. I know you've been having me hold out for something faster. Okay, I'll write you a letter asking for the Atom.
the Nobel M600 is one of my top 3 favorite cars of all time, it is just so awsome, no traction control doesnt even matter it just makes it better=)
The best film of a drive round the ring I've ever seen. The noble just incredible , nothing to touch it!!
Ahh, the good ol days of drive. When the world made sense.
"it's like being smashed up the backside with a rocket"
+ewoltrev im sure Chris Harris knows a lot about being smashed in the backside xD
+ewoltrev "it's like being smashed up the backside with a rocket"
+Lord K Productions ayyy slay
Siamesed at the crank
Five years later this is still one of favourite Chris Harris videos.
Absolutely awesomeness!! Excellent watch with fantastic narration, much appreciated!!
This video convinced me I needed to subscribe. What an amazing piece of content.
"iI havent the balls to stay on it that for long"
True thumbs up to England for building cars like these that we in over regulated, over litigated and over weight North America can only be envious of ! Well done and keep British engineering alive !
Well done Chris, proud of British sports car manufacturers
I noticed that the Atom has the "optional" index card sized wind screens...
What an amazing review!!! Love both cars but have my eyes on an atom!
InstaBlaster.
"The acceleration, the exposure to the elements, there's just nothing else like it"
There is, it costs significantly less it's called a motorcycle lol
Still love the aerial atom tho what a amazing piece of engineering.
The Noble has one hell of an exhaust note.
Well played Mr Harris. I am sorely jealous but this was better than any Top Gear episode. Emotive and informative without being a total bellend.
"I'm just going to go and have a quiet moment to myself."
Two full laps on the best track in two of the nicest cars out there. Chris Harris, I just want to give you a hug (no rainbow-fingernails needed).
Agreed! I paused the feed after the atom run, and tried to imagine what it felt like doing this instead of "just" watching Mr. Harris lay this down...Well documented, superbly edited; you get excellent views, yet don't have the feeling of getting cut short or cut off...excellent work, and it was a joy to watch.
That noble though...Amazing car that
I love how he spells the german "ch" correctly all the time. :-D
When he yelled "there is nothing else like it" I immediately thought about riding a sportbike. That would be even more exciting and challenging as you need to move around and hold on for life without a seatbelt. 😂
Bonkers. Man that Ariel Atom looks like a blast to drive.
Best track in the world!
I agree, but it needs more *high speed turns*, like a good 1.5 mile long super shallow turn, I think that would separate the supercars from the GTR's LOL.
cybertree More high speed turns? Did you ever drive a lap there?
By the way: a 1.5 mile long turn would be super boring..!
The best is Suzuka !
TeamBoehnisch 1.5 miles isn't that long when you're going near 200! lmao
(No I've never driven at the ring.)
Ah, maybe you need to try driving the Bathurst track in New South Wales, Australia before you make that judgement. Yes, I've driven Bathurst, not racing, but not the Ring.
Under steer will save your ass. I much prefer a gentle push when I'm racing and set my cars up to do so. Whom ever said loose is fast is just wrong. Now mind you, I don't like front tire smoking under steer, just a little on acceleration off the corner. If the front is sliding a tad, the ass is hooked up and driving you forward. If you need to, you can roll off the throttle a bit and tighten things up. Engineers tune cars to under steer, it's far easier to control, what comes naturally, letting off the gas and turning the wheel more in the direction you'd like to go, gets the job done. Catching a loose car with counter steer is much more difficult to do, and if you get the first part right, the next thing you know the car is doing a tank slapper and spins out anyway. I"ve seen it so often on the track, some yoyo who won't back off and get the car pointed in the right direction, tanks slaps all the way down a straight then ultimately wrecks. If he'd just back off the gas and let completely go of the steering wheel, it'd straighten itself out.
well, just keep practicing, you'll be a real driver one day.
Yeah, I think the simplicity of it, the way you can see what the mechanicals are doing, beautiful!
Amazing.....the Nordschleife is a dream destination for me and to tackle in this two astronomical machines was superb. Amazing job Drive, amazing job Chris...no GIVE ME YOUR JOB!!!
M600 needed!!!
I REALLY ENJOYED this episode, absolutely epic!
PS: I usually watch guys exiting the Nurburgring at the straight line, but in this video is the opposite, why?
amazing ride. a dream of mine would be to ride the ring. this man is a BOSS.
Chris Harris when he is not on Top Gear - the best motor journalist ever 👍👏
Chris Harris + Nurburgring = Heaven
We only need 1 camera view
when I can't watch porn, this is the next best thing....
No, porn is the next best thing when you can't watch this.
This isn't porn?
This is car porn.
The Atom is probably as fast as an F1 car of a few decades ago and you can buy it and drive it on the open road,
what a time to be alive..
Real racing cars and a real racing driver what a great match 🏴👏👏👏🥇🏎🏎 thank you
I wonder if mr. Harris will take over from Jeremy when he finally retires at top gear??
I think he would be a breath of fresh air. He has a sense of humour and he would take the show in a new direction. It wouldn't surprise me.
Clarkson will probably die before he retires.
Schleberger
Agreed, In fact Old Top Gear with Tif Needel is prob the closest you would get to having Chris on Top Gear, Top Gear just isn't serious nor meticulous in handling the subject matter. Maybe Chris might be a better fit for Fifth Gear but Top Gear producers would prob shop for another comedian for their next host.
Jorgun Harrowiitz That's what I'm sayin' brother, I think we've got AT LEAST another two decades worth of Mr. Clarkson (I hope so anyway). *Something tells me he'll be practically be on dialysis before he stops driving supercars :P.*
*ALL SAY _"AYE"_ for replacing RICHARD HAMMOND with CHRIS HARRIS on _TOP GEAR_!
~Aye!
best review ever Chris!!! u risked it, i could smell the danger
My bladder is porous just watching this.... that Atom is properly bonkers... wrong spring and damper rates for the track and it is simply breathtaking to watch... and hear... can't imagine what it would be like being in the drivers seat... wow!!!
Notice how scared he was at 158mph (253km/h) in the Atom and calm at 205mph (330km/h) in the Noble. Weird numbers and sensations to look at, weird cars! Got to love them!
I think I enjoy watching Chris Harris more than Top Gear... is that wrong? If it is I don't care, this guy has gasoline running through his veins and it shows!
It's not wrong - Top Gear is a comedy entertainment show for the masses, it's shown in most countries so has to have broad appeal. Nothing wrong with that, but Chris Harris is a serious petrol-head, reviewing hardcore cars, which is only really going to appeal to other petrol heads. I can't really imagine Chris Harris playing conkers with caravans for instance......
Would it be faster if the exoskeleton was covered up? Will add a little bit of weight but doesn't have to be thick. Perhaps a thin layer of fibreglass maybe?
but the exoskeleton looks awesome
Those m600 specs are off the chain! 😍
that chirp every time he lifts in the Noble......... heavenly
Dat Noise!!!!!
@Atrax1207"what's with motorcycle engines in cars over there? lol"
Answer: Power to weight ratio.
Sang3ETA .. meanwhile America make big blocks of plastic, engines less efficient than anything
In America, we have a thing Called Reliability, Much Different from British Kit Cars. Motorcycle Engines May Sound Great, but We Only Need an Oil Change Compared to a Complete Rebuild🤔
If there was an award for best reviewer and best filmed web TV car show Chris Harris and Drive would win it hands down!
You can tell a properly sorted performance engine. That Noble was just producing sheer torque and never sounded at any moment like it was over revving or tapped out.
I prefer the Noble :P
I don't suppose it was tricky editing that ensured that nothing overtook either car.
Harrison Conyers that sounds ridicuolous. As you probably know Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear did a 10 min. lap in a diesel Jaguar saloon car......
118.47 bhp/ton versus about 900 bhp/tonne should make a difference
im not quite sure what path he took but he definitely drove around the nürburgring gp track as well and not only the nordschleife.
spinnenente
that makes sense. Clarkson probably took the shorter route.
nallen100 Yes Clarkson only used the old Nordschleife circuit. He did not use the new GP circuit. Harris uses the whole lot. And as Harris constantly says the Atom is not set up for the Nordschleife - stiff suspension on a bumpy track equals instant trip to the barriers and then possibly to the hospital. Harris did not want to visit the hospital on this day, nor did he want to be responsible for wrecking someone else's £150,000 Ariel Atom. That's why he was not going as fast as he could have done.
Ass kickings bro 😎!!!! Chris you really put on a great ride!! No doubt!
nice job Chris, i really enjoy your no-nonsense tour of these amazing machines!
My head hurts, what a bad idea to print subtitles like it's a typing machine.
+Bastien Chong I like the printed dialog, with the wind buffeting and his yelling through a thick accent inside a helmet it's much easier to understand.
Yeah same
what's with motorcycle engines in cars over there? lol
Atrax1207 better than American engines... made from old bits of iron and emissions of a tractor
"It wouldn't do that well cause it's not a race car, it's just an experience" ya that's what got it 1st around the top gear track 2 years ago.
holy crap i just watched two full laps of the 'ring without realising it until now! it was that interesting!
Tyre Slayer, LOL
Anyone just here reminiscing in 2019 before the electric and autonomous take over?
Makes me proud to be a British Engineer. Love these cars, one day I'll own/drive one.
That little speech at the end seriously moved me!
