Clarkson immediately suggests it is awful. Normally I might add ‘need I say more’? But that’s a rather trite response to this particular car. Owners are well aware that it’s not for taking to the supermarket run, or for ferrying your kids to school and back. They do know it’s for track days and even […]
In this article on the Top Gear website Greger Huttu is invited to drive a very fast single seater race car around Road Atlanta. Never heard of him? Well, that’s not surprising really. That’s because Huttu is the champion of iRacing virtual racing simulation, so he’s not exactly a household name. The purpose though, was […]
This is the Top Gear review of the Bentley Continental Supersports – lighter, more powerful and without rear seats. Sold mostly to footballers? I did think they preferred more luxury than the madness of this Continental. For such a big car, the 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds is staggering and the W12 engine is a […]
Top Gear has a gallery of the staggering new Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, a performance monster that has a power to weight ratio of 562bhp per tonne – a truly staggering figure. This is the start of Lamborghini’s new ethos of looking at other elements of design rather than raw power. It’s certainly an interesting looking […]
Here’s one for the history books – a hugely agile British built car powered by a Japanese engine facing off against an all American muscle machine. Just who will win? Well, the Top Gear track is designed to have twists, turns and straights so it should be anyone’s here. Of course, if you’ve seen this […]
Those in the know claim to know who The Stig is – the expert racing driver hidden behind a white racing suit and helmet who features on Top Gear. The Mail Online has a new article purporting to give information on his exact identity, which I won’t state here. For some of you, it might […]
The 100,000th third generation Scirocco has now rolled off the production line. Andreas Hinrichs, Autoeuropa Plant Manager, said: “The Scirocco is one of the most important cars that we produce. For myself personally, it was a moving moment.” The celebrated model is a Scirocco R 2.0-litre TSI, in Rising Blue Metallic, with a Titan Black […]
Top Gear approaches the legendary Lancia car collection in this video – demonstrating the fact that Lancia made some of the best (and worst) cars in history – but generally speaking they would rot away quite often! Ultimately, Lancia cars had a number of problems, but cars like the Fulvia Zagato are justifiably iconic.
The Vauxhall Insignia is actually a very reasonable performance car for the money, pumping out 325bhp to four wheels, meaning assured grip, poise and power. 0-60 is achieved in a very respectable 5.5 seconds. Here, James May tests out the car, whilst taking a special guest for a spin with him.
Here, Clarkson provides one of his usual effusive (and rather expensive) reviews for Top Gear of a rather lavish slab of car, the BMW X6. Not small or shy by any means, it actually rather reminds me of the big man himself… The X6 is an ‘SAV’ or sports activity vehicle with coupe-like lines but […]
