Clarkson, Hammond, May Showcasing Future/Concept Cars Compilation #1

So much of Rolls-Royce's concept ideas do come to life. Love that

Early 2000's concept cars and prototypes take me back man, no type of nostalgia is more powerful tbh

I think a compilation of Clarkson Hammond and May mentioning each other on other shows would be cool.

3:00 "It looks like an Aston Martin" Ford: "And I took that personally"

There are 3 types of concept cars The first are the kind that are so outlandish, futuristic and unrealistic or so expensive that you know they have no chance of ever being produced. The second kind are the ones where some things might be unrealistic (such as cameras and screens instead of rear view mirrors) but the general characteristics of the car are grounded in reality. It's kinda 50/50 if these get produced, if they do usually a lot of the more fancy aspects are removed for production. And the third type are the ones that are so normal or just modifications of existing cars that you just know it's coming to the dealerships next year.

22:58 holy shit he did it, May saw our present times as future back then

5:31 the days when top gear’s studio comprised 20 or so 40/50 something blokes and the audience could get involved in opening the Zonda up.

3:46 - Richard Burns. Rally Legend. R.I.P

Ironically the ford concept actually ended up becoming a mondeo.

That was pretty damn good,and even way back to when Clarkson had an abundance of hair .

It’s sad some of these cars were never made. They are such fabulous looking and despite this being some 10+ years old they still look more futuristic than new cars of today.

4:45 “going on sale in 2005” wow how far we surpassed that year

"This could be the future" it was actually. Car companies use exactly the same systems today. 25 years later

Watching this show as new cars and concepts came out really made it feel like we were growing up with the changing of the times. I remember how impressive it was in 2004-5 to have that Lexus self park, when now tons of cars offer that as an option.

May was so right at the end, the kinetic energy thing is now used a lot!

I didn't ask for this video, but i'm glad it exists

Hehe, they watched Cars 2006 Other US viewers may not know, but Jeremy Clarkson got a voice cameo in the UK version

22:56 I was reclining on a sofa, switched my browser tab before James says what's next 😂

That charger concept is way better than the charger we got.

5:28 Andy Wilman appearance. Apparently the studio audience was the crew in the early days.
