LIFT OFF: 700bhp F-150 Raptor R vs Ford Bronco RAPTOR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2u2DRbm4Hg

The Bronco Raptor is a formidable beast – wider than most buildings, and powered by a 412bhp twin-turbo V6 – it’s therefore perfect for doing silly things in the sand and dirt. The F-150 Raptor R, with its 700bhp 5.2-litre supercharged V8, even more so. So we stuck Jack Rix in the former, Jethro Bovingdon in the latter, and told them to go shredding in the infinite off-road playground that is Johnson Valley, California. Things get a little hairier when Jack asks Jethro to “show him the way of the jump”. ALSO in episode two: The Bronco DR is a bona fide off-the-shelf desert racer (hence the name), meaning for a mere $295,000 you could own a competition-ready, Coyote 5.0-litre V8 powered, off-road racecar capable of conquering pretty much any terrain this side of the moon. Or you could ask Ford very nicely to borrow one, insert Jethro in the middle of the Californian desert, light the touch paper and retire to a safe distance as he demonstrates what makes this car so special… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

HOONING Travis Pastrana’s 862bhp Subaru Family Huckster

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

"Err on the side of aggressive…" This is the Travis Pastrana life motto. Y'see, Travis Pastrana isn't your typical driving instructor. And his 1983 Subaru GL wagon isn't your typical driving instructor's car. The 'Family Huckster' is powered by an 862bhp flat-four boxer engine. It gets active aero, a six-speed sequential box and runs 4 bar of boost. It doesn't come with dual control pedals. Enter TG's Jethro Bovingdon. Jethro knows a thing or two about skids, but can he pull off a reverse entry drift with the pressure of Travis in the passenger seat? "Just turn left to go right…" Sounds easy, right?

FIRST DRIVE: GMA T.50 – McLaren F1 Successor’s 900-mile road trip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd6CR8PMsk8

Get ready for a sensory bombardment as Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, embarks on a 900-mile adventure, from Barcelona to Bilbao, via the stunning mountain roads of the Spanish Pyrenees. Follow as he delves into the T.50's driving dynamics, from the exhilarating scream of that naturally aspirated V12 engine to the joyous shifts of the manual gearbox. Designed to honour-but-improve on the iconic McLaren F1, the T.50 is a symphony of engineering purity, weight-saving purges and mechanical artistry. In Ollie's view, it is the best driver’s car in the world, and it might never be bettered… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

Driving Travis Pastrana’s 862bhp Subaru HUCKSTER + 1000bhp HUMMER EV

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4qUeQSuvbE

Not all driving instructors are made the same. Travis Pastrana, for example – not massively concerned with parallel parking or correct use of indicators, but having all four tyres fully lit at all times is non-negotiable. Watch on to find out what happened when Jethro Bovingdon met Travis and took a 1983 Subaru GL wagon with 862bhp, aka The Family Huckster, for a spin… ALSO IN EPISODE ONE: The new GMC Hummer EV. It's not exactly subtle, is it? The $110k Edition 1 model Jack Rix borrowed for an epic roadtrip from Palm Springs to Bagdad had three motors – two at the back, one at the front – producing 1,000bhp and 1,200lb ft of torque. It could do 0–62mph in 3.0secs. And that’s not the scary bit. Because it weighs… wait for it… about 4,100kg. So strap in for 30-minutes on the above, and much more – and as ever, let us know your thoughts on episode one of TG2 and we'll see you next Sunday for more… 00:00 – Intro

McLaren 750S: 6 BIG Improvements Over The 720S | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vkLBBmBe2I

Yes, it’s another new McLaren supercar that looks… exactly like the old McLaren supercar. But the idea with the new 750S isn’t to blow the poor old 720S into the middle of last week. No, the game plan here is to take what was already one of the very finest supercars on sale and fine-tune its foibles. So there’s a little more power from the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 here. And a little more bandwidth in the suspension there. More downforce. Less weight. But none of that matters. What’s crucial is that McLaren ups the fit and finish, irons out the foibles, and turns its brilliantly useable supercar into something you’d really fancy daily driving – even though it’s got more power than a P1 (minus the electric). A tricky mixture to concoct. Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Kew has driven the 750S coupe on track and the Spider on the road to see if the British Ferrari rival has pulled it off.
