Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 11 is now available. In this episode: Clarkson reviews the Ford Lightning, and considers the truck useless in England. From claiming it's made from old shovels and the interior is rubbish to getting something stolen from the bed of the truck, Clarkson closes his argument by mentioning how these trucks often appear to crash in police chase videos.
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 10 is now available. In this episode: Clarkson tests the BMW 535d four-door sedan, the first diesel car to be brought to the Top Gear test track. He finds that, compared to the petrol variant, the diesel is quieter at motorway speeds, it has much more torque, it's slightly cheaper, and the weight of the heavier engine doesn't affect the handling. The petrol version is more responsive, more fun to drive, and it beats the diesel on a track. The Stig takes the 535d to ...
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 9 is now available. In this episode: The new E60 BMW M5, priced identically with the Mercedes CLS. Jeremy admits disappointment, and points out the list of failures in great detail: confusing electronic settings for everything, annoying sat-nav, jerky gearbox, uncomfortable ride, ugly exterior, non-canceling indicator, and disappointing appreciation of speed with the 400 horsepower (300 kW) standard setting. Though the review then appears to be over, Jeremy presses the M button and the engine delivers 507 horsepower (378 kW), the suspension stiffens, and the ...
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 8 is now available. In this episode: Ferrari F430. Jeremy claims it "about the best car I've ever driven". The convertible version of the F430 is just as pin-sharp to drive and comes only one-tenth of a second slower on the track. He can find nothing wrong with either version, but advises that unattractive people should avoid the soft top, so as not to create embarrassment.
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 7 is now available. In this episode: Jeremy drives the first and only non-terrifying TVR, the Sagaris. James contends that despite his great praise for the vehicle, Jeremy would rather have a Mercedes SLK55 because he's a coward.
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 6 is now available. In this episode: A race from Heathrow Airport to Oslo. Clarkson chose the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren because it was both extremely fast and completely comfortable. This choice seemed to vindicate the SLR as the better real-world car over the Porsche Carrera GT. He embarked on a tiring 1,300-mile (2,100 km) drive via the Channel Tunnel, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, the Oresund Bridge, Sweden, and into Norway. Hammond and May took a flight to Newcastle, and then a ferry to Kristiansand. ...
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 5 is now available. In this episode: The new Mitsubishi Evo IX is the same car as its predecessor, Mitsubishi Evo VIII. Lamborghini introduces a spyder version of the Gallardo, James May promotes a retro-styled hand-free phone and the bold new Citroen C6 is in the studio.
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 4 is now available. In this episode: Clarkson tests the Cadillac CTS-V at the Top Gear test track. He initially mocks the claim that it handled like a European car (after development had been done at the Nürburgring), before racing it against an Audi S4 driven by the Stig. Despite a similar power output, and the Stig in control of the Audi, the Cadillac wins.
Clarkson's Ford GT and all the problems it has caused him during the week, starting from the engine not working ...
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 3 is now available. In this episode: Aston Martin DB9 Volante. Richard finds it to be too wobbly and shiny, and proves that more people would like a puppy than this car. May drives the Maserati Bora, which is his favorite Italian 70s supercar, and his overall favorite except for the old Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The Bora had comfort and sophistication, but luxurious touches made it the slowest supercar of the 70s. May is vindicated as it is civilized and is still decent to ...
Top Gear’s Season 6 Episode 2 is now available. In this episode: Clarkson announces the £412,000 Maserati MC12, saying it's "An Enzo in Drag". Fastest car of 1:18.9. He is impressed with its speed, but, like the Biturbo, doesn't consider it to be a proper Maserati.
