View Full Version : What's Tiff favourite car?
Based on Tiff's top gear and 5th gear videos, I listed the following 3 cars:
1. Modena 360
2. McLaren F1
3. Zonda S
I'm wondering what's his daily car...
As for Jeremey Clarkson, it's easy. It's either a Jag or a Mercedes SL.
out of them cars id say the zonda
but i think he has a big thing for the BMW M5

In his SL 55 review he mentions he traded the Ferrari for an SL55, what a moron, long live tiff, i read an interview with tiff and he had a BMW X5 or MB M class can't remember which, because of his kids, and he drove around whatever he was reviewing.

He always says if he could afford it (which I am sure he can) he would buy a F360 Modena "tommorow"

yeah i dont think anyone believes that he cant afford a ferrari, but im kinda surprised he owns a porsche, considering how high he regards most ferrari cars

thats more jeremy clarkson's car the zonda, and anything made in the UK, *gets angry at his one sided point of views*
i heard a roumer that he had a mclaryn f1. but that was dismissed after watching the best cars of all time.

He races a Lister Storm as well, which in one review he picks over both a Porsche GT1 and a McLaren F1.

From all of his video reviews, the one car that excited and scared him sily was the Mclaren F1.. I think if it was not a price issue - he would still chose the F1, its closest budget euivalent is the 360 stradale.. so that would be his next obvious choice. If money were really an issue Tiff would go with a TVR tuscan R with red rose goodies.. :twisted:

He's known for liking the 911, the others always keep taking the piss about it etc
Watch his review of the 911 (996) Turbo :)

Tiff has said many times that his favorite car is a red ferrari 360 modena without a doubt. The only car that i know he has is a BMW M roadster.

well he said that the Ferrari 360 is the best car in the world and the mclaren f1 is the greatest.
and he doesn't have a porche. there was a chat room with him in channel 5's website and someone asked him what cars he has, and what he would like to have. he has a bmw sedan. can't remember which one (but it's not an M5). He said that he would like to see a Ferrari 360 in his garage.

Jeremy had a Ferrari 355, a Ford Escort Cossworth & an Aston Martin DB7. He also had or has (not sure) a Jaguar XJR. He has sold his Ferrari 355 so he could buy the SL55.
MORON HUH LOL

The SL is faster in a straight line but the ferrari is much better on a track because it is more then half a ton lighter and it's suspension is just way better for sporty driving. Jeremy chose the SL because of it's noice & because it is sporty and comfortable at the same time. It is a whole other type of car the the 355.
He races a Lister Storm as well, which in one review he picks over both a Porsche GT1 and a McLaren F1.
Yep. I suppose Tiff spends his money on his Lister Storm instead of buying a ferrari... He once said he hasn't quite given racing up (he goes racing with that Lister Storm).
I don't know what car Tiff drives in every day life. But his favorite car... hard to say, I think it's more of a top 5. The said he would like to have a TVR Tuscan for the weekend and a 911 for the week. And he loves both the 360 & the F1...
I think he likes Modena 360 and McLaren F1 too.

I can't imagine clarkson chose the sl55 over the F355 because of its noise. the F355 has one of the sweetest sounds ever.
and Tiff doesn't spend his money on the lister. he doesn't own it, he just drive it ocassionaly for the lister storm racing team.

I would say that he probably has a BMW, from what i have realised is that he is a huge fan of BMWs

I'd say the Mclaren, just cause it's Tiff and I saw how he liked it in the review. (It seemed to be more than he did the Modena.)
jeremy likes the ford gt 40 more than the 355

He said he chose the SL55 cause he likes all of his toys, and "the Ferrari is as relaxing as being tickled". I know too much about Top Gear, I feel like a dork being able to quote Top gear like that.

This topic is totally moot since if any of us have seen the 5th gear greatest cars in the world episide they would know that tiff's pic for greatest realistic car is the 360 and his pic for the greatest car ever is without a doubt the McLaren F1.

on 5th gear website he said mclaren f1 was best car he ever drove, and zonda damn close in 2nd place.
jeremy owns a mercedes sl55 and prolly something else, he can afford it, he was a regular customer of concorde flights.

Jeremy owns a Jaguar and the SL55 and something else he mentioned he has three cars.
Well Jeremy according to his review his fav car is the Ford GT, he seemed crazy about it, only car ive seen him review that he didnt btich about something.

he didn't complain about his mercedes or the E-type jaguar.

Tiff has a BMW 540i and a Mercedes ML.
JC owns the SL55 AMG of course, as others have mentioned. I don't know about a Jaguar. In a review about 4WDs he brought his own or a similar Toyota Landcruiser. I think he mentioned having one on other occasions as well.

I think Tiff's fav car is the Ferrari 360 modena, remember? If I could I'll buy one tomorrow. Manual, red. Eh just like me!!
Then there's the McLaren F1, but being realistic its price is too high... I noticed he likes the Porsche GT3 (he was always smiling during the test) and the Pagani Zonda. But I've never seen him so excitated like when he was testing for the first time the Mecca.
And what about the Enzo??

Well he absolutely loved the Mclaren F1 when he reveiwed that all those years ago, but then in the real world he is major fan of the BMW's. He's got the m5 and the m convertible (which is in his video when he shows his car) and i'm not sure bout the porsche. He does love the 360 and the dino as well, but i don't think he has bought his 360 yet!!

Tiff also loves the 944 Turbo. He used to race them when they were new, and in the 80s epicode they did a few months back he talks about how much he misses the car. Now it can't compare to the stuff he drives on the show nowadays, but the fact that he has so much respect for the car says a lot IMO.
:D

I know his favorite car of the 1980's is the Porsche 944T so it has to be one of his favorite of all time. The mclaren has to be one of his favorte supercars but I am unsure of on a day to day level. The ferrari 360 he has mentioned as being his favorite ferrari so it has to be up there along with the BMW M5 that always sees top end results from tiff.
if you watch the car park viseo where he tests 4 cars he tests a BMW 540i. he knows the car so well i think hes got one. just look a how close he gets to thos pillars, you could hardly fit a hair in the gap!!!

Tiff has a BMW 540i and a Mercedes ML.
Is this for certain? And if it is....how old is this information?

In his "greatest car" segment he drove the modena, f40, and mclaren f1. Mclaren f1 was his favorite.

i guess ferrari 360 Modena and the ultimate Maclaren F1. Tiff´s review about maclaren was so cool, i liked his face while wide open throtle in the maclaren F1, so cool.
Me too, the Maclaren F1 is the best car ever, not the fastest of the world, but the best, handling, beauty and the whole car.
:D

I recall him saying that if he could have any car it would be a Ferrari 360 Modena, Hardtop, Red, Proper Shifter, No F1 shift stuff.

It's great too find a site with Tiff fans, All that has been said is quite right but have any of you seen his DVD, Tiff Needel BURNING RUBBER?
If anyone recalls his Porsche GT1 review for a race care he will always take his Lister Storm. He has always gone for the Mc F1 but when ever he talks about Ferrari he is always upgrading to the current model, he goes for the improvements.
He wanted the 355 before he wanted the 360.
