FIRST LOOK: Lamborghini Temerario – 907bhp, Turbo V8 Hybrid, 10,000rpm!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDLFERMIgD0

The arrival of the new Temerario – a replacement for the Huracán – now means Lamborghini offers all its models with hybrid powertrains. Hmmm… But fret not, for this is Lambo’s take on hybridisation. So, while the Huracán's naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 has been swapped for a mere 4.0-litre V8, it has gained twin turbos and over 150bhp in the process. And, just for good measure, Lamborghini has allied it to not one, not two, but three electric motors, for a 907bhp total. That, and compared to the now-defunct V10, the forced-induction V8 revs higher. To the tune of 10,000rpm! Still want that six-cylinder McLaren Artura or Ferrari 296 GTB? There’s plenty more to uncover, too, so Top Gear Magazine’s Associate Editor, Tom Ford, is your guide to this new ‘baby’ Lambo… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST LOOK: BMW M5 Touring – Huge Boot, Mega Power, Massive Weight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5E2teq9qoI

At long last we have a BMW M5 Touring again! Which, if you’re a parent, or a practical person with a ‘lifestyle’, means this could be all the car you’ll ever want. And if you’re not one of those, then the wobblier estate body and lack of a carbon roof might mean you think the Touring is destined to only ever be a worse version of an M5 saloon. Either way, we haven’t had a big-booted BMW M5 since the V10-powered, E60-generation model, and with all the obvious rivals dead or dying out, there’s a rather large gap in the market for this new 717bhp über-estate. So, what chance does the M5 Touring have at greatness? To find out, Top Gear Magazine’s Deputy Editor, Ollie Kew, has been in a studio with one, while Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, has been driving a prototype… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST LOOK: Porsche Restomod That’s NOT A 911!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyAlU7L1YvE

Top Gear tends to like Porsche 911s, and to like restomods. But when every restomod is a Porsche 911, well, our attention can waver… However, this is a Porsche restomod that’s not a 911. It is, in fact, a 928. A 928 that French company Nardone Automotive has given a thorough refresh with the help of Podium Technologies, the Italian firm that engineered the Glickenhaus 007 LMH endurance racer and Automobili Amos Lancia Delta restomod. Frankly, it’s gorgeous, with new carbonfibre bodywork, a revised gearbox, a breathed-on V8 engine, a futuristic-yet-retro interior, and an utterly awesome sound system. Top Gear’s Associate Editor, Jason Barlow, is your guide to this modernised Porsche GT… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST LOOK: Bugatti & Koenigsegg Designer’s New 1070hp V12 Hypercar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6adrYYHumU

When your resume includes design work on the Lamborghini Huracán, Bugatti Chiron and a couple of Koenigseggs, what next? For Sasha Selipanov, it’s creating his own hypercar: the NILU. This otherworldly wonder is a carbon-tubbed, V12-powered monster, with little to get in the way of the raw driving experience. Which could be quite something, given the promise of a manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, and that naturally aspirated 6.5-litre engine screaming out 1070hp at 11,000rpm. But the remit of the NILU is to offer an unfiltered assault on all your senses, at all times, something Selipanov sums up as the “holy **** factor”. Meaning the exterior and interior design is as full-on as the design of mechanical hardware, with a stripped-back cabin, and an engine bay that clearly took one look at a Lamborghini Revuelto’s exposed V12 and said: “Hold my beer”. In short, this is one is for the purists, so we sent one of those, Top Gear’s Contributing Editor Jethro Bovingdon, all the way to California, USA, to learn more… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

This Is The Ultimate Luxury Car… In China

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNc2RrSKkqk

Not everyone likes the same thing, and in the case of the luxury automotive market in China, that means heritage and handling aren’t guaranteed to win over the wealthy. Step forward Zeekr, the fledgling all-electric luxe brand from Geely (which also counts Lotus, Polestar and Volvo as part of its group). In its battle for the elite’s earnings, Zeekr’s offering is the 009, a swanky minivan that majors on space, comfort and connected tech. But why are posh MPVs on the rise in China, when limos and large 4x4s dominate elsewhere?
