FIRST LOOK: 2025 Corvette ZR1 – 1064hp, Turbos & 215mph!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6cTsxvv1c

Wow, the new Corvette ZR1 is quite something. For a start, one thousand and sixty-four horsepower is nothing short of A LOT. In fact, it’s nearly 400 more than the Corvette Z06, and higher than the likes of the Ferrari SF90 XX, let alone hybrid-assisted hypercars such as the McLaren P1, LaFerrari and Porsche 918. And yet, all that power comes from a solitary 5.5-litre, twin-turbocharged V8, with not a jot of a hybrid system in sight. Which also means the ZR1 is rear-wheel drive only – and it doesn’t take a genius to work out that’s over 500hp per back tyre… There is more to the 2025 Corvette ZR1 than just its peak power output though, so over to Top Gear’s Contributing Editor, Jethro Bovingdon, for a deep dive on how GM created a new ‘King of the Hill’… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

Priceless GT-Rs! Rally 240Zs! Nissan’s Huge JDM Heritage Collection

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ry5Yf5c6M8

Some manufactures have museums full of old cars you can’t get near, others have sold off the back catalogue when times were tight. And Nissan? Nissan keeps the lot, keeps them running, and lets you get up close and personal with them! This all happens in the Zama Heritage Car Garage, in Japan, where hundreds of Nissans (and Datsuns) from the company’s 90-year history are lovingly looked after. There are diddy cars from the early years, tech-laden concepts, all manner of wonderful rally and race cars, plus Skylines and GT-Rs galore. Join Top Gear Magazine’s Associate Editor, Tom Ford, for a tour of this amazing place… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST DRIVE: Ford GT Mk IV – $1.7m, 800bhp Ultimate American Supercar!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihB4zL72QSM

This is the ultimate incarnation of the third-generation Ford GT – and a homage to the Mk IV iteration of the original GT40, which won Le Mans in 1967. Fittingly, this new Mk IV is a track-only, pseudo-race car, of which just 67 will be built, at a price of $1.7m each. It shares its carbonfibre chassis with the GT road car and 2016 Le Mans-winning LMGTE Pro race car, but the brakes are new, the ‘longtail’ body is new and the EcoBoost V6 has been enlarged to 3.8 litres. Together with new turbos and a host of other engine changes, peak power rises to a plentiful 800bhp. Over to Top Gear Magazine’s Contributing Editor, Jethro Bovingdon, to see if this swansong is worthy of its name… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

This Car Collection Is Detroit’s Coolest Secret

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gTBKnqGNmw

On the edge of Detroit, USA, is a rather special family and their rather special car collection. But the vehicles (mostly Fords, but not all) in the Roush Automotive Collection aren’t just any old cars collected by Jack Roush and his family. Rather, they’re race cars that his ultra-successful NASCAR team has taken to ‘Victory Lane’ and road cars that his eponymous tuning company has built. Add in a smattering of cars the family has restored or competed in, and you’ve got an amazing array of fast metal. Top Gear Magazine’s Deputy Editor, Ollie Kew, took a tour, with the welcoming Roush family… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear Chapters:

FIRST LOOK: MG Cyberster Coupe – Porsche Cayman… Or This?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64gb5fQa41A

This is the MG Cyber GTS Concept, a glimpse at what an MG Cyberster with a hard-top roof might look like. Now, you might scoff at our headline, but Porsche will cease production of the combustion-engined Cayman in the middle of 2025 and the replacement will be electric. Moreover, MG has already stolen a march on Porsche by getting the electric Cyberster roadster into production well ahead of any Boxster BEV. That might be again true with the Cyber GTS: we’ve yet to see any Cayman BEV prototypes testing, but this MG concept has parking sensors and wipers, clues that this is essentially a production car in waiting. Over to Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford for the lowdown… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST LOOK: McLaren P1 Drift Car – Mad Mike’s Rotary-Swapped ‘MadMac’!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgIhcSDq2hk

This is the world’s most insane drift car. A mutated McLaren, it’s the brainchild of ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett, with a little help from McLaren experts Lanzante and luxury car specialists O’Gara Coach. Now, a McLaren P1 drift car would have been silly enough, but ‘MadMac’ (as it’s affectionately known) fuses a P1 body with a 650S GT3 carbon chassis for the added protection of the latter’s roll cage. Oh, and then whatever McLaren V8 you were expecting has been ditched for a turbocharged, triple-rotor set-up. Peak power is close to four figures… Myriad other changes have been made to get it drift ready, so here’s ‘Mad Mike’ himself, plus Lanzante boss Dean Lanzante, together with Top Gear’s Ollie Kew, to give you the full lowdown… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:
