Koenigsegg Jesko Attack: 1578bhp vs TG Track! | Stig Laps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rmpYZNgPEY

Stig Laps are back! That’s right, The Stig is once again roaming free at Dunsfold, and in this new eight-part series we’ve gathered, well, eight cars of course, to set new timed Power Laps at the Top Gear Test Track. Up first is the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack. It’s the slower-in-a-straight-line variation of the Jesko, as the Absolut version is wingless and faster flat-out. Yet that’s good here, because this Attack version boasts up to 1400kg of downforce, and with 1578bhp as well, that makes it a very tasty track weapon indeed. However, can it get near the current road-legal lap record holder, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which blitzed around in 1 min 11.3 seconds? Over to Top Gear’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, and The Stig, to find out… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WANT MORE TOP GEAR?

New Toyota Land Cruiser vs Defender, G-Class & Grenadier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WDk8ueDqG8

When the going gets tough, who’s toughest? That’s the question Top Gear set out to answer when we sent the new Toyota Land Cruiser off into the Welsh wilderness together with the facelifted Mercedes G-class, the latest Land Rover Defender, and the 4×4 that apes ye olde Defender, the Ineos Grenadier. We sent these four 4x4s clambering over rocks, wading through rivers, and generally doing the sort of stuff they’re designed for but never actually do in the hands of most buyers. Which clawed its way out of the mud ahead of its rivals? Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage and Tom Ford are your referees… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WANT MORE TOP GEAR?

FIRST LOOK: Jaguar Type 00 – Let The Chaos Begin!

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

This is the Type 00, a concept car that represents a hard reset for the Jaguar brand. Why? Well, Jag’s in such trouble it’s stopped selling cars until 2026 while it reboots with a range of high-end EVs that will chase Bentley buyers and the like. We’ll see the first production car under this new philosophy – an electric four-door GT – in late 2025, but for now, the Type 00 represents the line in the sand between Jaguar of old and what’s to come. ‘Exuberant Modernism’ is the name of the design language that the Type 00 ushers in, as Jaguar promises future models will ‘Copy Nothing’. Over to Top Gear’s Jason Barlow, to make sense of it all… 00:00 Intro

Ferrari 12Cilindri vs Aston Martin Vanquish: Super GT Battle!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmAKsyDov5I

Once upon a time the McLaren F1 boasted a mind-bending 627hp and was the pinnacle of the supercar world. Yet here we are in late 2024 with a Ferrari 12Cilindri and an Aston Martin Vanquish that each sport around two hundred horsepower more than the iconic Big Mac! In an era when combustions engines keep being read their last rites, that we’ve got two big twelve-cylinder motors not only alive, but producing ever most preposterous amounts of power, is a reason to celebrate. Which we could do – but when two so-called ‘super GTs’ arrive so quickly one after the other, rather than let them rest on their laurels we’d sooner find out which was best. So, before the snow and ice of winter descended upon Italy, we took a yellow Ferrari and a red Aston Martin to a rather special location.

Could YOU Drive An Aston Martin Valkyrie?

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

Can anyone drive an Aston Martin Valkyrie? Well, no, because if you’re tall or wide you simply won’t fit into the snug little Formula 1-inspired cockpit. But, say you’re short and slight enough to squeeze in, could Joe Public drive the Valkyrie? We’re not talking about tickling it along at idle either, but properly uncorking the 6.5-litre V12, mashing the ERS button for an extra 143bhp of e-boost, and chasing the big speeds where the full 1000kg of downforce is produced. To answer such a question, Top Gear put its Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, into an Aston Martin Valkyrie, once Contributing Editor Jethro Bovingdon had shown him what it could really do… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WANT MORE TOP GEAR?

FIRST LOOK: Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RS – New Nürburgring King?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTZEEw0525U

The 1048bhp Mercedes AMG One is the production car lap record holder at the Nürburgring… and yet, despite being over 500bhp down on it, the current Porsche 911 GT3 RS would be nipping at its heels all the way around the iconic track. With pace like that, you don’t really need to go faster, do you? Well, Manthey thinks so. And as such, it’s given us this: the Manthey Performance Kit for Porsche’s track monster. It’s Manthey’s most in-depth upgrade to date, as it must take on the GT3 RS’s trick suspension and clever active aero and go one better. But wait, before you get sniffy about a tuned Porsche, remember that Manthey is 51% owned by Porsche, so this is essentially a factory car. Manthey and Porsche’s GT department use the same test driver, for instance, and you can buy the new kit through Porsche dealerships. That, and Manthey is Porsche racing royalty, with multiple class wins at Le Mans, and is just coming off the back of its 911s finishing first and second in the LMGT3 category in this year’s FIA World Endurance Championship. If anyone’s going to know how to make a Porsche faster on track… How has Manthey waved its magic wand though?
