... rest of the series looks fun too...

 

BBCA website says the show returns on April 16. 2 1/2 more months of reruns.

 

Not if you live in the UK, just an hour to go!

 

Or if you are in the US and frequent Final Gear..

 

Great start to the new series, seeing the Aventador at Nardo & Imola was fantastic.

 

any way to watch the new episode in the states?

 

Some episodes show up on streetfire.net. They will also pop up on YouTube before getting yanked.

 

I use streetfire for all the TG vids. They do a great job. I'll keep a lookout for the update. Thanks.

 

Awesome start on the season, but only 6 more episodes to go

Can't wait for the M5 bit...

Thank you for posting! Watched the whole episode! Controversial as usual but hugely entertaining!

 

+1.

Can't wait for the C63 Black Series either.


Loved the supercar stuff, IMO the Mclaren doesn't hold a candle to the Aventador, far to clinical. Noble is too ugly but I like the 'back to basics' of it, but wouldn't own one.

 

I wonder why Richard chose the Noble instead of the 458 Italia or maybe a Porsche since he loves Porsches or perhaps the Zonda Tricolore. Maybe the Huayra. Huayra should keep up with the Aventador and the fax machine.

 

They already had the 458 on the show a few times, and the test was to see which car is better instead of the 458.

Huayra is a car 4x as expensive as the Aventador (as is the Tricolore)...so they don't compete.

The GT2RS could have been a car he could take though.

 

Thank you Thank you Thank you

That was as they say BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

I now am 110% in love with the Aventador. As JC said it has blue stuff shooting out it's rear end. Christ I could not believe the flames coming out it

That was an excellent episode, I could not stop watching it from beginning to end and now it's 6:10am, I'm going to bed goodnight lol

 

Well this piece made me like the Aventador a lot. It looks so much better in these environment than in the initial press pictures.

 

I don't understand why he didn't take the Huayra myself. It would seem to be a no-brainer to me. Maybe Pagani didn't want to go up against the Fax Machine and the Flying Saucer...

 

$$$ compared to all other cars. For one Huayra you can buy an Aventador, 458 Italia, fax machine, M600 and still have cash for perhaps a fully loaded Range Rover supercharged...

I've no doubt that the Huayra will hang, if not beat, the above cars though. In speed and experience...

Shame it had to be turbocharged though

 

The Huayra is not out yet whilst the rest are, plus as we all know its a fixed programme I am sure they dont really 'choose' the cars they take.

 

Oh yeah, I see it now why the producers didn't put the 458 there which I'm pretty will keep up and hang with the Bull and the Fax Machine.

That Noble was fragile as a supercar. Broke so soon. I cannot think of any other supercar for Richard to use other than the GT2 RS or perhaps the LFA might be able to. I don't know the top speed for LFA though. The AGERA is expensive and it will keep up, but maybe not too stable at a very high speed.

But last nights TOP GEAR was the best. I watched it twice already!

 

At some point a choice of what cars to use for the show is made, and I have to believe Pagani was asked to participate and declined.

 

The Huayra can hang with those supercars, but you may be right. Mr.Pagani decline to participate on his million dollar supercar because he knows how those guys would run them cars very hard on the tracks. Broken parts would be too costly to replace.

I wonder if they asked Mr.Von Koenigsegg to use one of his supercar to join in? Hmm! Makes you wonder if the CCX or the AGERA is stable at high speeds around that track.

But Clarkson, Hammond, and May have got the best job in the world IMHO!

 

thank you so much for posting the link! great watch. Ferrari 458 is still the best of that lot though the aventador did look really good on the street.

 

I would have like to have seen the Italian stig drive the Aventador for actual comparison and lap time. Although JC is a great driver he is also 6'2" and 230lbs.


But how could you not love this
