Welcome to the official home of Top Gear Classic on YouTube. Here you'll find all the best clips from your favourite episodes, whether that’s Richard driving Oliver, Jeremy in the P45, James getting hopelessly lost, or the fastest power laps from our in-house performance benchmark: The Stig.

This is a commercial channel from BBC Studios.

They literally predicted the Cybertruck.

[Chanannagins]

"Don't put your finger on it"
"I wasn't going to"
Clarkson was absolutely going to

[JeffOfTheMountains]

I do love their creativity regarding the safety tests.

0:26 Hammond clearly already suffered a few electric shocks judging by his hair

5:44 After so many years, I'm only noticing now the mustache on Geoff right above the number plate 😂😂

[rifkyfahrana]

Geoff, a masterpiece of machinery that inspire what we call now a "Cybertruck"

[Djolerized]

I remember watching this episode when it was originally aired. In my country, it was aired at about 2 p.m. on Saturday and then reprised in the evening at 2 a.m. So, I remember returning from night out, and watching this at 2 a.m. I was laughing so hard that I woke my mom and sister. All three of us were sitting, laughing and watching this marvelous technical achievement. Thank you Top Gear!

One of my favorite episodes ever, I love the crash test part.

You know the BBC hates the fact that Top Gear Classic gets more views than the new 'Top Gear'

[DeadlyLazer]

4:41 always found it funny how Jeremy tried to close the door like it was a normal car door, forgetting it's a wooden latch door

[tommarino]

Geoff had better panel alignment than a Tesla.

[DLGaming]

May: Is assigned to power
Clarkson: Is assigned to the body
Hammond: Is assigned to safety

Seems about right.

Edit: HOLY SHIT, that's a lot of likes on my comment! Thanks, guys.

[Crbneum]

Whoa electric motors have come a long way. Modern 200+ hp engines are smaller than that beast they put in Geoff

[dpx]

James on power
Hammond on the chassis
Clarkson on the looks

Truly the best departments for each of them

[vipermax]

and this is just a normal episode in the old top gear, not special, just a "normal" entertaining masterpiece of the trio

[Macistefx]

would much rather own Geoff than a cybertruck.

[mrwow]

“Hammond is in charge of the chassis and the brakes.” What could go wrong?

[imamario]

I haven't seen this in a few years until today and every time I saw Richard Hammond's hair I couldn't stop seeing Argentina's President Javier Milei.

[davidstarsky]

Looks suspiciously like a cybertruck 😂

[Thiollier_]

god every time i see clarkson handling that aluminum without gloves i recoil.
