***** lol im not even a brit... im a malaysian, which uses Ringgit, living in germany, which uses euros. i said pounds bcoz topgear uses pounds to state the price of the car. btw wat's wrong with pounds?
4:13 "When Britain and Germany, in quite an odd way I must admit, go to battle once again." Pretty much the same as before actually, with the British bringing a beautiful-looking beautiful-sounding piston-engined machine, and the Germans with jet engines.
Belal Qureshi I would have to think long and hard about that. The rocket skates would be the most awesome one to have, but a high end car would be more practical.
Little known the fact: The sound of an Aston, broadcast over every radio station, will bring world peace. It will also stop all modes of production...and thinking...and lovemaking, so it's unclear whether or not it's a worthwhile trade-off.
The looks and the noise are sensational. It's so much cooler, so much more exciting and so much better than a 911. I'd have it over any model of 911. That snarl sends shivers down my spine and I actually think, they should have considered or nominated it as their car of the year and the Vauxhall VXR8.
I didn't see but does the roller skate guy have some sort of parachute to break his speed or have reversal engine ? I don't quite get how he wants to stop.
A man wearing skates with piddly little wheels gave the big boy of Britain ( am talking about the car here not Hammond ) a run for its money. Even in their defeat the roller skates were the stuff of champions. 👍🏼
wait 91K and it ill do 0-60 in 4.9 sec for 50k you can get a corvette that ill do 0-60 in 4.3 sec and also looks prety sexy too i mean if you don't mind buying american wich i don't as i live in the US it makes sense to me
My father just bought a 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster with optional customs. The guy who sold it to him, when my father told him that he was strongly considering a 2014 Stingray, said "yeah, you can have a Vette like tens of thousands of other people in the Northwest. But......this is an Aston." He took the Aston. And it's gorgeous.
Hey, wait! I thought the *skates* were supposed to be jet powered, not just incidentally be attached to the same object as 3 or 4 jet engines... If you want to make things interesting, why not use that 747 in the background of one shot and go for a 5500km drag race? (And weren't those skates also powered by an Aston Martin earlier?)
That's a Dodge. A mass-produced car on an assembly line. This is an Aston. A hand-built European beauty. If you want shouty and power at the drag strip, get the Dodge. But if you want shouty and good looks, get the Aston.
He was so happy that he beat a man on roller skates
with a sports car LOL
THEY ARE JUST RE UPLOADING OLD VIDEOS FROM BEFORE WTF
erik svensson with a 91k-pound aston martin

Yes, but that was his joke. It was meant sarcastically. It's the British sense of humour!
4:13 "When Britain and Germany, in quite an odd way I must admit, go to battle once again." Pretty much the same as before actually, with the British bringing a beautiful-looking beautiful-sounding piston-engined machine, and the Germans with jet engines.
The spitfire? The British also relied on the Americans to help them win on both occasions
One rock on that track and that would have been one dead german man
He may of won, but I still want the jet powered roller-skates.
If you were offered Aston Martin or skates which one
Belal Qureshi
I would have to think long and hard about that.
The rocket skates would be the most awesome one to have, but a high end car would be more practical.
@@TopStrikerMaverick give me the skates
I like that the Aston haves a proper manual gearbox =)
Yeah, and the clutch burns Evey 10k miles and the replacement costs upwards of $6k
I love this car! Aston Mastin Vantage is amazing!
Little known the fact: The sound of an Aston, broadcast over every radio station, will bring world peace. It will also stop all modes of production...and thinking...and lovemaking, so it's unclear whether or not it's a worthwhile trade-off.
That car sounds fantastic!
Now THAT is what I call helpful consumer advise!
when he said it was pig ugly I was like WHAT! HAMMOND! and then he said he was joking
Not sure if I want to be the guy in the Aston Martin or the guy in these awesome rollerskates.
Well, here's a tip that might help you to decide:
The Aston has brakes.
I had not thought of that...
god that car sounds so good
They say he's still rolling down that runway...
Another advantage of the Aston Martin ... It has brakes !!!
sren27 just keep rollin' rollin'
Who is filled with more hot air Richard or the man on roller skates?
How do you stop after your 120 mph roller skate drag?
Put the jets forwards

THISLOOKS LIKE A VIDEOFROM THE 80'S
Aston Martin...still beautiful car
Awesome car.
I didn't see but does the roller skate guy have some sort of parachute to break his speed or have reversal engine ? I don't quite get how he wants to stop.
TheMiniDUDU drag at first, and then if hes slow enough like he would stop if he was iceskating, I guess
What about the v12 Zagto?
All of fith gears audience disliked this video
This has got me speech less
How does he stop?
He doesn't, he's still going to this day
hmmm, they haven't do a review on Aston Martin One-77
A man wearing skates with piddly little wheels gave the big boy of Britain ( am talking about the car here not Hammond ) a run for its money. Even in their defeat the roller skates were the stuff of champions. 👍🏼
How did he STAY on the skates??
It worked...It worked!!!!!! Just like I pictured!! #BADASSSSSSSSSERY
can you guys please upload in something better than 480p?
This was epic...
I want that jet pack :P
Cool car
Also it's 2014, why only 480p?
This video was not filmed in 2014 though. Its about 6 years old.
Turn right
Stig skates!
I followed a v12 model today sounded awesome much better than the v8 not that the v8 is bad no no, v12 as the edge.
Richard Hammond you lucky barstard, driving lovely cars and even getting paid for the pleasure too. ;-}
What happened to Jeremy?
How did the man on rollerskates stop?
And when the Aston Martin one - 77? Or has it already was, but I missed?
raro no?
Every Aston Martin looks the same!
I'll prefer an f-type rather than a brand of same looking cars!
They race rollerskates so another car wont own it ^^
Put it against a 458/R34 GTR V Spec Nur 2/R8 and this will be interesting to watch
Top gear have already uploaded this video. They did it in 2010
2008 in fact
top gear plz make a video on laferrari
Those skates scare the shit outta me! All he has to do is wobble one foot a little too much KABLOOP!!!
CRAZY!!!
this video is like 5 years old :?
same engine does'nt mean same noise
Don't be that guy.
5:37am lol
wait was that an insult of Aston martin vantage or Hammond should be proud of beating a man on roller skates
wait 91K and it ill do 0-60 in 4.9 sec for 50k you can get a corvette that ill do 0-60 in 4.3 sec and also looks prety sexy too i mean if you don't mind buying american wich i don't as i live in the US it makes sense to me

He took the Aston. And it's gorgeous.
i wonder what the roller skate guy does after the race is over
A tank released as a supercar. It sucks.
P.S. HD seems to be unknown in England.
Wow
Cool
Balls
Yeah, balls is right. Nice
32 second 1/4 mile

methinks TG already did a 'car vs. plane' race.
why would you let the top down if you want to race someone in a convertible?
WHE WILL TOPGEAR COME WITH SOMETHING NEW AND INTERESTING ?
Ugh. Do you know how expensive those tires are? I cringe at the sound of then melting away while you drift.
Would have been interesting years ago.
The grill looks like a ford focus :0
Aston have looked like this for at least a decade
I know cx
Same designer.
Siq.
Aston martin 40k more expensive for no apparent good reason
Holy cow
im in a convertible better roll the windows up
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
for that price I would just buy a Dodge Challenger hellcat and save some cash
That's a Dodge. A mass-produced car on an assembly line.
This is an Aston. A hand-built European beauty.
If you want shouty and power at the drag strip, get the Dodge. But if you want shouty and good looks, get the Aston.
#ApoloOhno could have taken him lol
There is nothing liKE A CAR?
Any one else notice this video had a weird filter. For me it kind of ruined the video.
nn
300 bhp and maybe 110 kg including equipment. Not that fast for the power to weight.
Adam Petten power and speed are not the same thing
OptimusCrime9900 True
It's a gt build for cruising and long distance .
am i the only one who loses interest as soon as i hear Richard Hammond's voice
Better buy a Nissan GTR
Only if i can afford one.I can't even afford a bmw 3 series
Krish-Tech i cant afford any car haha be happy!
Thomas Posuniator Atleast you have a gf,i will trade my car for a gf as hot as yours anyday

Fun, something you lack
Aston Martin is for old men
why not a german car against a british car?
Cause entertaiment.
They couldn't handle the shame :D
Germans eh...
PLS TopGear make bether videos like 720 hd pls

Junk of a car, over priced, expensive repairs and worse reliability then GM
Says the man who can't afford one. Now go mop up the oil stains under your 40 year old Chevy.
Yeah, oldie time again… *yawn*
Unimpressive :/ sorry to say
Second Comment
1st comment!
Orrible

Nope.
I don't think it's ugly but I don't think it's the prettiest car in the world like lots of others do.
240p *sigh*
