Part 1 of 2: Jeremy falls in love with the Ford GT, despite the fact he can barely fit in it. It's an improvement on the GT40 though, which he couldn't get in at all! The extra three inches makes all the difference.

Why is the called the Ford GT40 "challenge" i don't see a challenge. i do see Clarkson driving it about a bit but no challenge.
Isnt that the pickup that Bryan drive to Mia shop with in the first fast and furious?
66 GT40: got it's 289/427 engine from the mustang. 05 GT: got it's 6.4 from an f150 lighting 16 GT: got it's 3.6 from your mom's ford torus. Somehow ford managed to put a less and less cooler engine in the Ford Gt every single generation. Hell, it couldn't even get it's own engine to begin with!
I miss this show. The new version sucks.
2:08 they need to patch that lag 😂
A big load of Jeremy rubbish.
*BK4 accept the challenge and enters with Yellow Evo*
2:30 Is that DOOM music 😅
3:46 the sound editors best work
Ford Vs Ferrari is a very good movie. I end up watching it every time it comes on TV.
Love the GT. Please subscribe thanks.

Can I talk about GT40 now? Yes. Good 😈🥰
I can't hear Jeremy's voice for half of this video, that music is awesome, but too damn loud.
If Jeremy Clarkson sells a car that is the time to buy it. Sold his Ford GT right before they doubled in value. He has done that time and time again I need to keep an eye on him.
God that's a beautiful Car... I wouldn't mind having one,
hammond getting a bit drifty i see
140 in third gear holy shit balls 👏😂
That time when Clarkson said good things for Ford, cos he was in the line for buying one. Only 11 in the world🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:05 That's how ken miles died 😂
U r blessed I fits in a recommand after 10 yrs
The rock song with the cool riff/s is 'Here and Now' by The Ernies; here's the instrumental version :) fistream.info/work/videot/Zshta7qzp6O7yp8 Had to share 'cos I couldn't see it in the comments already and I'd like to save someone the time I spent searching :)
Aw.... remember when Top Gear was good?
To whom made the description for the video "That's what she said"
He will now edit sound by seeing the sound not hearing he has the ability to see sound not hear it he has a different sense then us normies he is advanced
there are some advantages to being short. i could better take advantage of those advantages if i was also absurdly wealthy...
bro they got to drive gt40's
I miss these guys...
These are now going for 450K USD in good condition.
Whos here after watching Christian Bale drive this thing in Le Mans 66?
that movie is 1 year old
The lack of being able to hear what he’s saying annoys the crap outta me.. oh. Old top gear...
My dream car
Baru Mikir Tapi Steer.
NEW!!! Aston Martin Victor supercar V12 848 HP, BY Q 2020 fistream.info/work/videot/baubpajObIuQs5s
My grandpa hand ground the camshafts for these cars at Ford
my unborn child can edit the sound better
It was quite some time ago tho, PLK.
Came here from the Ford v Ferrari movie and it was epic🔥🔥🔥
What thats truck ........
ford lighting, he did say.
?
holy god 10years ago
351 lightening motors are underrated. Found out someone swapped the Windsor out of my 1990 f150 standard cab 4x4 for a lightening motor when the rear plugs on both banks quit firing and I had to do plugs/wires/distributor cap swap. Even on 6 cylinders it ran like a stuck pig. Only Ford ill ever own again besides an improved 6.0 powerstroke...can't beat a 6.0 turbo sound with a 6.4 or 6.7. Like an air liner taking off.
1:01 whats the name of that music?
Le mans drivers in the 60s must have been tiny to quickly hop into the GT40 and 917 and be off in just a few seconds
Ik its kinda old but they could of done better with audio
It's just something about the old top gear that makes me happy.
Some say they will never tell why the sound is deafeningly loud, or maybe they just won't google. All we know is, they're called the comments section!
How is this part 1 of a "challenge"? God the BBC is stupid...
Looks like Vapid Bullet in Gta 5 anyone
Why is this guy talking over my music?
Some say he was born without ears. Others say he hears with his nostrils. All we know is that he's the Top Gear sound editor
Too bad they only went up in value and now cost more than a Carrera GT
The "overtaking the blue blooded aristocracy". American engineering in a nutshell.
The sound guy is drunk
The engine in this car is not from a lightning, lightning engine is a 5.4L SOHC 2 valve, this car has a 5.4L DOHC 4 valve, get your facts together before you speak, people will believe what you say and take to the bank.
the Ernies!
I wonder how many men had one of these, had an argument with their partner and got in their GT40 and slammed the door shut in temper, doesn`t bare thinking about does it!
Anywhere watch this in 2020 May 12th. I would still take the 2006 Ford GT over the 2015 Ford GT
1:54 I was afraid he would destroy the car
"It has an unpleasant association with Jeremy Clarkson" - James May
This isn't a "GT40 Challenge" at all. Such clickbate.
and if you bought one, you were very smart, because they are now going for 3x the original price! Best looking car of all time I think, even the interior
Looks like some of his hair was caught in the door of the new car.
Ah yes old top gear
guys a deaf person would still be able to edit the audio better
Top gear needs to can the new crew and bring back these guys
Brought to you by Jim, Dick and James
That design is beautiful
Handbuilt by Ken 4:23
2:44 how much??? 🙄
Dear sound editor, the 80s are over it's time to stop striking
I am here after seeing ford vs Ferrari 😃😃😃
Does anyone know if the 5.4 in the GT is similar to the Ford Falcon 5.4?
2:05 Now there's a car door that needs slamming!
So in a weird way, the same engine is used to power Clarkson's favourite car, the Ford GT, and his least favourite car as well, The Ford F150 Lightning
Does the BBC guy need a lesson in sound editing? I'll pay for it.
Is this the moron who decided the Ford GT was a piece of crap because he had an incompatible alarm installed?
I love his comments about the steering when it's the same rack they used in the focus 😂
All rack and pinion steering mechanisms are pretty much the same (it's fundamentally just a gear rack meshed with a pinion gear; extremely simple mechanism). The difference in steering feel between a Ford GT and a Focus or any other modern economy car comes from the tires, suspension, chassis stiffness, center of gravity location, and weight distribution.
Ah so large tires bad on a corvette but good on a gt40.
Surprised Clarkson didn't mention that the Ford GT is based on the (British) Lola Mk6 GT. Even the switches inside are similar.
ford is THE BEST american car company period!
5:06 “I barely have to raise my voice”. -ehem.... tell that to your Sound Editor...
@1998 Subaru Impreza 22b STI bruh
Aparently he didn't like Jeremey very munch...😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Mad Flynn yes he did
@TheNoobGamer jon madden
@1998 Subaru Impreza 22b STI how does it feel like to be beaten by Mitsubishi?
Gt40 and z06 2006 are imo the best american super classics
Same as a Lightning?? Negative. Lightning was a cast iron block, 2 valve, roots blown, wet sump engine based on the 2 valve Triton motors in the F 150’s. The GT, while it seems Triton based, was an aluminum block, 4 valve, Lysholm twin screw blown, dry sump motor.This motor soon became the basis for the GT500 Condor motors between 2007-2012, those not being dry sump and twin screwed but roots blown and wet sump with a cast iron block until 2011, at which time it got an aluminum block.
My dream car!
Thanks for Shelby and ken...RIP
Ford GT has an aluminum block and the Ford Lighting has an iron block,so no Jeremy,they arent the same.
What a lovely sound
The reason why Jeremy was praising so much was because he was kissing Ford's arse to be one of the few 28 people in the UK to get a new GT. Once he got the car, he wrote a scathing review telling what an unreliable gas guzzling POS the car was and that his wife at the time hated it.
Ford power
Got three words for you. I want one!
Worth much more these days. Nice car!
Who is here after ford vs ferrari
Watch shelby America on netflix
4:29 ⚡ LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING ⚡
Now this, this is truly one heck of a car.
Horrible doors what's wrong with some people who build cars jeez
On of my dream cars
Who came here after watching ford v ferrari movie?
An appropriate background music, Pachebel’s Canon in D.
Jeremy,um if you can't get into the gt40,then HOW THE HELL ARE YOU IN IT IN SOME OF THE PICS
218mph on the back stretch of Leman in the 1960's. It really is a beautiful and timeless design.
Well, if a Brit is impressed, and even snubbing the "blue bloods," it might be worth the time to check the Ford GT out. But, is it still called a "GT-40?" Or is it now a "GT-44?"
