In 2009, Top Gear decided to answer one of the most absurd engineering questions imaginable: how far could a medieval trebuchet throw a full-size car? To find out, they built a towering counterweight trebuchet using real calculations, loaded a real car, and let gravity do the work. When released, centuries-old siege technology converted stored potential energy into explosive kinetic force, launching the car hundreds of feet through the air in spectacular slow motion.

Top Gear engineers created one of the largest trebuchets ever built to test the limits of physics in motion. It was designed to demonstrate gravity, force, and energy transfer with absolute precision. The test turned stored energy into raw motion, launching a full-size car through the air to explore how mechanical power works at scale. It wasn’t about destruction but about discovery, showing how wild ideas can push science and engineering forward. Love technology? Follow @Technology Credits: BBC

Explain Fact🧠 on Instagram: "Follow @explainfactory On Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson and the team actually built a full-scale medieval trebuchet and launched a car just to see if it could be done. The stunt involved constructing a massive wooden trebuchet and hurling an entire car through the air, turning ancient siege engineering into modern automotive chaos. Clarkson was there for the build, commentary, and the inevitable destruction, treating it as equal parts science experiment and spectacle. I

To find out, they built a towering counterweight trebuchet using real calculations, loaded it with an actual car, and relied purely on gravity to power the launch. When released, the ancient siege machine transformed stored potential energy into explosive kinetic force, sending the car soaring hundreds of feet through the air. The

EXPLAINERS | FACTS | KNOWLEDGE on Instagram: "Top Gear once decided to answer one of humanity’s oldest engineering questions: just how far can a medieval trebuchet throw a full-size car? They built one of the largest modern catapults ever made, complete with massive counterweights and precise calculations, then loaded up an unsuspecting Renault and let physics do the rest. The result? A jaw-dropping launch that sends the car soaring hundreds of feet through the air in slow-motion glory before it
