Alfaholics GTA-R vs MST Escort MKI vs Porsche 912c By Kamm: The Restogods | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pMhaAsp9F8

Noise. Glorious, unfiltered noise. Usually the preserve of sports – and supercars with upwards of eight cylinders. But what about the humblest engine of the lot? The lowly four pot. The beans-on-toast of the car world, right? But that's where you're wrong. Because in the next 20-minutes TG's Head of Car Testing Ollie Marriage will demonstrate how three restomods from Alfaholics, MST and Kamm can put a bigger smile on your face than something with twice the power, and twice the cylinder count. From MST's throttle-boddied, 9,000rpm BDG engine to Alfaholics' bored and stroked 2.3-litre Twin-Spark and Kamm's Swiss-built air-cooled lightweight, turn it up, sit back – and bask in the sounds of the mighty four.

Lotus Type 66: The ‘Lost’ Can-Am Racer – Designed In 1970, Built In 2023! | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9uxFjVB_jw

This is not a restomod. This is not a continuation. This is an all-new, old Lotus. Pray silence for the arrival of the Type 66, a 1970 project that never saw the light of day. Until now. Wind the clock back 53 years, and designer Colin Chapman, busy dominating Formula 1, asked Lotus draughtsman Geoff Ferris to come up with a design that would do the same in the lucrative Can-Am series across the pond. Lotus’s success in F1 meant the plan never went beyond the drawings and model stage… until now. The Type 66 stays true to the original designs, and at its heart is a period-correct V8 push-rod engine (complete with an aluminium forged crank, rod and pistons), delivering 830bhp at 8,800rpm and 550lb ft at 7,400rpm. Want one? Only 10 will be built, each costing more than £1 million. But who can put a price on coasting past a 911 GT3 while wearing a scarf and goggles? 00:00 Intro

FIRST LOOK: Ford Mustang GTD – $300k, 800bhp+ Porsche 911 GT3 RS Rival | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auFAjSPwCl0

“Our idea behind this car was to take a race car and not change anything for the street,” says Ford boss Jim Farley. There’s a giant dry-sumped 5.2-litre supercharged V8 up front that revs to somewhere above 7,500rpm and puts out over 800bhp, making this the most powerful road-legal Mustang ever built. That engine is connected to a carbon fibre driveshaft and powers the rear wheels through a rear-mounted eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Pretty much every panel you can see except for the doors is made from carbon fibre.   There are humungous Brembo carbon ceramic brakes hiding under 20-inch forged magnesium wheels, and the active rear wing combines with hydraulically controlled flaps behind the front grille to manage downforce. There’s a giant rear diffuser too, plus a titanium exhaust system supplied by Akrapovic and sticky Michelin Cup 2 R tyres.  Oh, and there’s no boot because that’s taken up by the inboard rear suspension setup, the hydraulic suspension control system and the transaxle’s cooling system. Yeah, this is a properly serious Mustang… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST LOOK: Lamborghini Lanzador – INSANE 1,350bhp Ultra-GT | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feHKn6tUGO4

Is it an SUV? Is it a saloon on stilts? No! The Lanzador is something entirely new, says Lamborghini, an ‘Ultra-GT’ designed to draw a link between the Urus and its supercars. The good news? It still looks like a Lambo. Oh, and it’s all-electric. Did we forget to mention that? Yep, this is the fabled fourth model that will join Revuelto, Urus and the Huracán replacement (all of which will be plug-in hybrids by the end of 2024) with first deliveries currently scheduled for 2028. It’ll have two e-motors, one on each axle, and produce over a megawatt of power – circa 1,350bhp in old money. It’ll also deploy rear-wheel steering, self-levelling air-suspension and a “new generation high-performance battery”, according to Lambo. Now, let TG’s Jack Rix be your guide to Lamborghini’s bonkers new concept, and tell us what you think below 00:00 Intro

FIRST LOOK: VW’s 2024 California Camper Van! | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD2coVgw1Ms

Did the best camper just get even better? This is the new California based on the current T7 Multivan. Admittedly it is still a ‘concept’, but if you base the functional stuff off what’s already available in the MPV Multivan, there’s are plenty of options. Engines are likely to be a 148bhp, 2.0-litre diesel that’s probably going to be the most popular choice, but also the option of 1.5 and 2.0-litre petrols and a 1.4-litre, 215bhp plug-in hybrid. The Multivan brings with it a bit more dynamic ability than the Caravelle it replaces, as well as more refinement, a whole host of more advanced driver assistance systems and other gadgets. Still recognisably a California, but based on the newer and more advanced platform, with all the good stuff baked in. There’s no pricing yet, and we’ve not driven it, but this looks like an absolute belter. Given the current pricing of this type of VW product, there’s likely to be a starting price of around £70k and rising from there. But that’s cheap for a house, right? Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford takes a closer look. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

Maserati MCXtrema: Secrets Behind The Most EXTREME Maserati Ever! | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dog6-BLPnbw

Formerly known as Project24, the MCXtrema does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s the most extreme thing that Maserati could come up with using the bones of the MC20. And the 62 examples that are set to be built can only be used on track. You can see why with just one look at that bodywork, can’t you? There are narrow lights up front and an aggressive front end, while out back it’s all about the wing and fin. We love how different the MCXtrema looks to the road-going MC20. It should drive pretty differently too. Not least because the 3.0-litre Nettuno V6 now has new turbos, a new intake and a different exhaust system for a total of 730bhp. So, sit back, and let Jack Rix be your guide to Maserati's new track monster. Cool thing, huh? Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:
