"Hello i'd like to insure my Audi" Insurance company "Has it got any modifications" "No, completely stock :>"

Love how it still looks like Audi, not some badly made kit car.

0-60 in 1 SECOND. Insane

Meanwhile in sweden, " you cant change the airfilter. Thats a modification. Its illegal "

Driver's face looks like something incredible :)) no emotions at all while speeding up

...that driver is stone cold, nothing can surprise him...:D

So the only audi thats left is part of the chassis and headlights.......

I like how so many people are hating on the v8.., it's the best configuration for drag, for every type, boats, top fuel, funny cars... V8 are in all the record books, because you can make tons of power. I just don't understand how you can have a grudge against an engine format lol

No replacement for displacement. For those below, yes you might get that power out of a smaller engine, but the smaller you go the more it costs. Not to mention you won't get the torque you would in a Big Block American Motor.

Before anyone mentions anything about Larson, understand that WE FUCKING KNOW about his record. But understand that this vehicle predates Larsons fame.

Why would you replace this beautiful engine with a V8?

And here in Germany a Golf MK2 with 1000HP+ drivers on the roads with a 4 cylinder engine.

It’s so cool seeing drag racing in other countries

The funny thing is that these cars are significantly slower than the fastest street cars in the US

no 5 cylindre, no thumb up.

Why is everyone hating on the car??? Here's a man on a limited budget and spent an ENTIRE DECADE building it.. Who gives a shit what parts he used to put it together, Audi, Chevy, WHATEVER.. True car and speed enthusiast's would be appreciating this build and admiring the car for what it is. Geeez

Are you running a 454 chevy stock block or is the block an aftermarket Dart or Merlin variant? I love how tame it looks on the outside!

1:42 (The most overwhelming face expression) :DDDDD---> seriously

The Merlin Engine is used in hydroplane racing. They double the rpm redline by stiffening the valve springs. The valve will float otherwise.

your introduction music is awesome. love it

Pål-Arvid Blytt has now the fastest street legal car. He has a 1986 Ponitac Trans Am. Highest recorded speed was 407.134 kph (252.9mph)

Ultimate sleeper car

No mention of the brakes, engine displacement, RWD?

All you fools pointing out "the Veyron is faster", it's about the 1/4 mile trap speed, not the top speed. It's relating the quickest (time) and fastest (mph) in a 1/4 mile. And even if it were based on fastest top speed, a Veyron is not the fastest street legal car (not is the SS). There are street legal cars that hit 240+ mph in a quarter mile and have 3 times the power. If you don't think they can go faster than a Buggati, you're either ignorant or a fanboy.

In france you're not allowed to swap engines, so not legal here, you can however swap for the exact same engine.

I'd love it if Clarkson had spent all the time he's been off-air building his own car like this one, and he rocks up onto the new show shouting like 'what I have here is a Ferraragani Monstretta . . . it has a quad-turbo V17 and it makes a THOUSAND MILLION horsepower . . . nought to 60 takes 0.05 seconds, top speed . . . one hundred and forty THOUSAND miles an hour . . . its the fastest car . . . IN THE WORLD!!!'

12 stoned passengers in the car?

Jonny after hearing the hp figures ''I THINK ITS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I GO FOR A DRIVE IN IT NOW''🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘

Very impressive since the car looks nice too.

That grin says it all lol

Amazing

An Amazing Car All The Best.

Very fast even for America. That crazy ass street legal 65 Nova from a few years ago is that fastest I have seen. It ran a 6 flat if I am not mistaken. Not sure how much ether of them weights but my old 64 Nova was only 2600 with a 383 ci and not weight reductions I only made it heavier actually.

i still remember and talk about this car . this dude is a legend .

I love how John the driver at the 1 min 50 mark looks completely bored driving this monster. I'd be ginning like a nutter.

Who the fuck cares what kind of engine is in it? Everyone acts as if the car is complete garbage now and should be destroyed immediately. If you are going to try to make the car as fast as possible, you are going to achieve that speed by any means necessary.

That grin @ 1:40. :D

John you need to take it to Drag Week

What’s this running these days? Red Victor 3 is sub 5 seconds so wondered if this is still going strong too.

Then it started to rain. Is anyone surprised?

Hi guys, could anyone tell me which soundtrack starts at 0:40 please ? It's something I used to hear as far back as in 2010 but never figured out what it was :( Help please ?

sick car

Did not expect to see POD on here 😂

1:20 "usually powering .... " what did he say ?

must be fun driving it during traffic jam :D

Nice time. Nature still wins! =>

GT-R AMS Alpha Omega - ~2000hp full interior + safety cage 7.7s @ 186mph... and that was one year ago...

1:41 how it feels to chew five gums

trust jonny to set a world record just by sitting there.

UK's Steve Neimantas has a Street Legal Bentley Continental with a Steve Morris Twin turbo 615ci 3000hp Engine that recently ran 195mph wheel spinning across the finish line. The Data logger showed a wheel speed of 222mph. Featured in Australian Street Machine Magazine September 2015.

BeastMode :)

I find cars like this quite boring, yeah it's quick in a straight line.. just my opinion

Audi 200 20v rs quattro 2.2 L Turbo 5 Cyl top speed 323 km/h street legal

I just gained a bit of respect for Audi, but way more for the builder of this super car.

The driver is basically Kimi raikkonen with a Yorkshire accent

''Nobody in Europe has been able to beat Andy's record'' Beating his 1/4th time alone, or while also being street legal? I doubt his time wouldn't be beaten, we get some 7 second cars here in Aus now and again. Few of them even street legal.

I like how it's street legal too.

the face XD

I guess now this is better than top gear

*It's SO REFRESHING to see Europeans and other nations who appreciate big power, and don't automatically hate American automotive!* Because I'm American and I appreciate lightness, handling, and smaller (but good power to weight ratio) engines. When I see a gentleman from England that has a passion for big V8 torque, acceleration and robustness, it warms my soul a little because *ALL GEARHEADS ARE THE SAME DEEP DOWN.* We just want our vehicles to perform at their best, how you do that may give it different characteristics, but they all have benefits.

But can it get more than 5mpg?

Street Legal?? What in Gods name are the laws there?

I never realised drag radials were road legal

That is a Chevy engine in Audi's skin - that is NOT an AUDI!!!

i could have been happy if the engine was from like a mustang or a corvette but from a RV. thats a whole new challenge tbh

Roadkill FTW =)

Why does rain completely stop play in drag racing and they don’t race in the rain?

In the beginning the narrator makes a mistake this is not the world's fastest street legal car. There are cars in the US that run in drag week that are street legal and are much faster.

круто!

Hey. Beautiful! property shape What's your opinion about it, guys !!

Why the LS? Because he didn't want to spend 1,000,000 on engine parts to make an Audi fast

Fastest at accelerating, not top speed. Nevertheless, this is a crazy car!. Love to have this old banger next to a Veyron at the traffic lights.

This is cool and all, but this is all about power. It would be a lot more interesting to see the fastest street legal car around a track. To see who could best balance handling and power, and if anyone could beat the supercars

what is the top speed though

How the *fuck* are these things road legal lol. The Department of Transport in any Australian state would have a fucking heart attack if they saw something like this on the road.

That’s basically a vxr8 engine with 100000 grand in it

I honestly had no idea that drag racing was a 'thing' in Europe.

Legal in which country? Just UK maybe, there german TÜV won't allow a wing like that, also noch big tires etc

This guy sounds like Luois Theroux

There's a street legal R32 GTR here in Australia that has run 7.66

Street legal must be a relative term.

That tyres are street legal?

Isn't drag racing one event in which thin, worn out, tires may actually make your time quicker?

REALLY looks like a fox body Mustang.

the biggest shock in this video is johnny is 12 stone

Who the fuck would switch out an Audi 5 cylinder engine for a damn V8...

bro street outlaws in murica has street legal cars that run 6 sec quarter mile

Balls... no I5, I have a TVR with a V8...and a Focus ST with a 5 cylinder so I'm a fan of both, but this NEEDED it's Audi 5 pot heart..

12 stone passenger onboard ? how big are the stones

from the side it looked ike a Fox bodied Mustang, these guys need to check out Larry Larson or Jeff Lutz

dutter racing. this car is ducking awesome

Due to this video most Americans will assume that Europe is a country kappa

Meanwhile in the states there are street legal cars running low 6s...

... So when was this filmed? Because I saw a clip about a month ago, with an Australian VL C'Dore, 3.0 litre, (about '86 ~ '88) that was running 7.2s on street radials. They're all very quick, but Red Victor and this thing and quite a few drag cars in the states, they're an awful long way from being normal road cars. Like the old group B rally cars, they're a fibreglass replica of a production car, wrapped around an exotic racing machine. The VL I mention, different animal entirely. Original body, in steel, original engine, (rather hotted of course), original suspension layout and design... and it regularly runs mid to low 7s. ... Is it street legal? er ... Good question. It has lights and mirrors and stuff, and they drive it to and from the track. Whether it would pass a hostile dept transport inspection, I'm not so sure. Equally, it has a roll bar, but not a full cage. And it doesn't seem to have a parachute. ... It's not a drag car, because there are a number of fundamental rules in drag racing it doesn't comply with. And it does still have a full steel monocoque chassis / body from the factory, factory glass and doors and ...

Now come stateside and check out Larry Larson's S10!

He trys to beat record and a second person is in the car?!

I wonder how much the insurance costs.

Very disappointed it didn't have the 5 cyl turbo....

Jonny's face at 1:42 is identical to that of the devil

im sure that andy frost has ran 6s since this video
