I must have watched this video dozens of times. It was when my wife saw a tear come to my eye that she finally said, just get one already. So I went and sought out a 2017 GT-R. I got lucky and found one with only 5200 miles on it. I have had it now for just under 2 years and love it. Thanks Chris Harris and Top Gear for the beautiful footage of this amazing car.

Chris Harris is seriously the only reason I watch these videos. Don't mess this up Top Gear. He is probably your biggest asset to top gear since the original trio

The drifting slowmo with all the leaves is simply epic.

The greatest thing about Chris Harris is that he understands cars at a fundamental level. A lot of lesser journalists abruptly end many reviews by saying "I just don't get what this car is about" and uses that as a con, but Chris never does that.

Chris Harris is the only one to film the R35 at and over the limit and explain/show what its trying to do in that situation, am I wrong? Films like these are why he's the best.

I wipe my tears watching this. Who else feels nostalgic and remembers the good old times of "Chris Harris on Cars"?

that slide through the leaves is going to become an iconic shot over the years. like that yellow bird RUF siding through the 'Ring.

The slow motion shots are incredible!

Nissan GT-R isn't old. It's just that, the rest of the world had 8 years for the catching up with the godzilla.

Possibly my favourite car...

Such an amazingly rich description of what it's like to drive this car.

There is no German car I would pick at the same price over a GTR.

@9:09 this has to be one of my all time favorite shots. Well done, Chris. We're witnessing our generations most legendary automotive journalist.

I'm so glad Chris filmed this the way he did. Pretty much since these cars came out, people have complained about the GTR being "soulless" and being boring because it "drives itself", and it's too easy to go fast. I used to assume people were right until after they had been about for a while. I finally got to a few opportunities over the years to drive a couple of them on the track and ride in a couple others with skilled drivers. Now when I hear people say those things, I know the either they have never touched a GTR, or simply are not skilled enough to actually experience what the car can do. This car will be a blast and be capable of scaring the crap out of you in the right hands. Yet, at the same time, the car is soo good, if you feel like the car is doing all the work for you, that's because it is. But not because it's boring, but simply because you can't drive well enough to find its limits. Now that being said, that is not easy to do, so I'm not trying to act like I'm some great driver. I'm just tired of hearing people call the car boring when the truth is that the driver is the problem.

This car now may be "old" but he's the reason that a lot called supercars today got better and driveable on the streets That "small V6" with dual clutch and AWD with short 6 gears ratio set up the level of supercars. And still today amazes me.

I believe that the Nissan GT-R is the best and certainly my most favourite car ever to me it is never old it will always be an outstanding car to me

That cockpit view looking out is what really shows the speed he's carrying into these corners and how he's got that pro race driver that has no consciousness and doesn't do "what if" scenarios in his brain. Amazing level of driving/focus, loved seeing that view!

What a brilliant driver and commentator!

I drove one of these at the same track he is on. The bend he slides out of at the end is great fun and know exactly what he means as he punches it out onto the straight - followed by a tight chicane. I passed a lambo down that straight. Absolutely amazing car..

you're brilliant Chris!

Chris is like Gordon Ramsey when cooking but on cars.

Nissan GTR is still a stunning car imo

Love the POV from back seat really gives you a great sense of the speed and level of skill that Chris drives the car, amazing. Need more shots like this on all car reviews..

He seriously has great balls to slide that FAST Nissan GT-R with such speed around those corners... Possibly one of THE BEST GTR drivers I've seen and he's so passionate about driving that car... It's like he's known that vehicle for ages and Mastered most of it, If not all.

its time for R36

Last time I was this early, it was still cool to hate on the new top gear.

They can call it old or outdated or a dinosaur but its the only car just like the R34 that will stay relevant for many many years to come! When Nissan decides to change and move onto an R36 they'll probably make it just as good! Nissan has never failed when its come to its R series's

I have a 2015 GTR and cannot get enough of it. Such a great car. I don't think I'll ever make the switch to any other daily.

Can't go wrong with some GT-R Skids!! 👌🏽🏁

This vehicle is commendable. This car has forced auto makers to invent a new segment in super car history, and that is the hyper car. This new 2017 model has brought it two steps closer to perfection, and from what i understand Nissan is going to make the Gtr into a Hyper car in the near future. This car will be the hyper car destroyer.

I just realized that at the end of the video i was smiling all the time. That's what a great car Godzilla is, it can make you smile even watching someone else driving it in youtube.

No ambulance and broken neck. This feels wrong!

Damn those japanese know what's up with their cars

The GT-R is my dream car, has been for years. I actually got a little emotional watching this.

when you fall in love with a Car thank you nissan

I love that shot from the back seaat, looking out the front. Really give you a sense of the speed and grip.

I think chris harris is amazing on top gear.

Epic car - the slide he manages towards the end is just awesome - wonder how many cars could pull that off and still maintain the speed

I find myself coming back to this video regularly because it's so enjoyable! For starters, I really like the GT-R and all of the changes that were introduced for 2017 and Chris Harris is so phenomenal at driving first and foremost, as well as giving his detailed insights of the car and bringing the viewer into the experience in such a way that feels so intimate. Very entertaining. :)

He just can't stop drifting every single car he gets his hands on can he?😂

Is it just me, or the GTR actually does exit corners like lightning? Those corner exits looked damned fast.

Harris is the only reason I keep coming back to this channel :(

The scene at the end with the leaves is pure automotive art… what a special moment captured in time! 🙌 ❤ 🇯🇵 🤤 Both the GTR and Chris Harris are national treasures worthy of protection… 🍻

Dat drift through leafes slow mo :O

Chris harris - top gear's most valuable asset today .. what a video and what an amazing driver + vehicle .

9:12 This part is so beautiful it makes me cry .

I absolutely love the interior shots looking down from the back of the car. It makes you feel like you're in the car as it hurtles along the straights. Magnificent.

Did anyone else get a Gran truismo 4 intro vibe from the autumn leaves, felt so nostalgic, I want to go back in time 😭

omg the differential is brilliant while cornering

You made me fall in love with the GTR again. I love how passioante you were and how this entire video gave me an experince that made me feel like i was there with you bro. Thank you for making a video about the GTR with great sense of care . This car means a lot to me and you are the perfect charactor to showcase the driving characters the GTRs have. Buy one and KZfaq your own bro.

This segment probably one of the best I have watched. 2 legend's, none other than the Godzilla and Chris Harris, the passion excuding at the end of the segment was amazing, absoletely poetic

There was some epic slow motion footage here. Wow.

Those slow-motion drift was superb.Nice shot

Top gear is just a new Chris Harris on Cars with better camerawork and a bit more production. I'll take it.

Chris review's are so honest and raw he says things that no other journalist says like little sounds and clunks a car makes or how he describeds the chassis dynamics. He describeds everything with such detail but without boring you I don't know how he does it!

Chris slides the car so smoothly. 👌👌👌 video !!

Shivers down my spine the whole time. Amazing commentary and description, cinematography and editing - blowing those leaves in the godly bronze!. The GTR is truly my dream car (i’m also being humble)

This car is so gorgeous. Ilove the fact it looks almost like a familly sedan and if you don't know the car, you'll be fooled by it's looks and never guess how much of a beast it really is...

Chris, That was amazing! I seriously teared up seeing that slow-mo bit with the leaves blowing. Nissan has truly built my dream car. Even if I never have a chance to own one. I'm on the hunt to drive one for a day or 2. Cheers!

The shots of the slowmo slides in the leafs are absolutely brilliant, the leafs and the bronze of the car match so perfect

I truly enjoyed this video. I'm not a huge R35 fan, but this gave me a new appreciation for it. Magazines have bemoaned the updated GT-R for being too soft and understeering, but Chris found the joy of it all. I really hope to drive one on track someday.

The best review of this car I've ever seen and as my dream car I've seen alot. He is the only person I've ever seen drift this car so easily during a review. His passion and admiration is evident and pretty much encapsulates why this car is every young boy's dream.

I have heard a GT-R drive by... it does "change the molecular structure" of the air. It sounds beautiful.

This is why I love Chris Harris he can find the good in any car and really describe it in amazing detail.

Car doesn’t feel or look old...you know this will be a classic collectors item in 20 years

Finally a review where someone appreciates this amazing machine

Absolutely Loved this video... camera shots and background music is awesome... hats off chris harris. Kinda looks like farewell video to the legendary Nissan "The Godzilla" GTR (R35). And that slow motion in the end is just..... Amazing.

I come back and watch this video all the time. Just so well done! Haven't seen anyone drive the GTR quite like this!

Someone PLEASE identify the music in the intro. Been searching since they featured it in the Chiron video.

When this thing came out it was futuristic. It had a bunch of info on center screen and advanced electronic aids. Now it seems rather simple and old fashioned compared to newer cars

Yes sir!! I felt so alive watching this. Thank you Chris👏

Chris makes you feel good about being interested in cars!

THIS CAR IS AMAZING!!!

The only thing i watch from the new top gear. You should just make your own show. if you want to anyway

Lovely review, the 2nd half of the video was especially brilliant. The camera angle from the back seats give such as sense of speed and show cases his driving skill perfectly! Don't see how anyone could dislike the video. Just brilliant

Chris should have a segment on Top Gear similar to 'The Smoking Tyre'...driving wild/tuned/modified/custom cars owned by members of the British Public.

Yes... Chris Harris On Cars!

The wide angle view from behind the seats is absolutely stunning!

A real pleasure to watch you driving chris! 👑

I first fell in love with the GT-R, Nismo and Nissan as a whole when playing Drive Club when it first came out. I absolutely love the sound it makes!

Speechless, that was an amazing classic Chris Harris film.

Chris amazing video, I think this is the best GTR piece I have ever seen. Nice to see how the car loads up, depending on the driver input or lack of how it reacts. 9 years of perfection 😍

An experience to watch. It's great to have you around Chris 👌

J’adore cette voiture ❤️

love the music! any links or names please?

Great review (as always). I've been following you since early EVO days. You really deserve your success. And what a car! Last shot is bliss!

Wow! Thanks for vid Chris, keep them coming.

Wow. I'm impressed with the new Top Gear. Never thought I'd say that.

Chris Harris = Legend!!

And i really love the more behind the scenes stuff, talking about trying to get the shots etc, really feels like your engaging your viewers.

The best car video i have ever watched.. the best capture, the best driver... he is not showing off.. he is not trying to show something about himself. He is just doing his job perfectly. Well Done My Friend. As a Turkish men, i am proud of you. !!

What a failure Top Gear would be without Chris Harris...

This was automotive poetry.

Finally this video is up on KZfaq and not just Topgear.com

Bless your heart for this Chris Harris Those Slow Mo shots with the leaves 🙏🏿

I love how it leans through corners and squats during acceleration.

Correction* The R35 is 10 years old now not 8

Great work Chris, you have a great passion for what you do. I look forward to all your future productions. I wish you the very best in all your future endeavors.

This was SO well done.

Chris you just sold me another car.. again ;-) I wonder how many more times this will happen.. Perfect capture of the essence and soul of the GTR!
