FIRST LOOK: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N – INSANE 641bhp Hot Hatch! | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp8YmY2Tmmg

There are many silly, cringe-inducing labels attached to Hyundai N’s first ever fully electric performance machine, but the seriousness with which they are deployed will make your brain melt. One of those being the ‘N Grin Boost’ mode which unleashes a very serious power hike from the 5 N’s ‘standard’ 580bhp to 641bhp for 10 seconds, accomplished via its dual electric motors. That means it'll go from 0-62mph in 3.4s and max out at 162mph. There’s also a mode that simulates the behaviour of a DCT gearbox, plus the ability to change the sound emitted by the 5 N: either a straightforward 2.0-litre turbo, something akin to the RN22e concept, or an actual twin-engine fighter jet. Fighter jets all day long, please. Top gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage heads to Korea to take a closer look. Chapters:

Tamiya Wild One Max: £35k Road-Legal RC Car! | Top Gear

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

This is the kind of car that reminds us all that being childish isn’t a bad thing at all. In a genius tie-up, The Little Car Co – whose usual 75 per cent remakes are of famous classics like the Aston DB5 or Bugatti Type 35 – is building a Wild One you can drive. You get a spaceframe long and wide enough to take two full-sized adults in proper Cobra Racing bucket seats, a 38bhp electric motor and eight swappable, modular battery packs that make up 14.4kWh of juice. That’s enough for roughly 68 miles of off-road driving or 125 miles on-road if you’re careful. Brakes are by Brembo, springs are by Eibach, adjustable dampers by Bilstein. Tyres are Maxxis front and rear on 14s, and there’s not much else to it. Although the first 100 Launch Edition cars do get a little plaque and a limited edition Wild One R/C car included in the price. Which is £35,000 (excluding VAT and shipping), by the way, so not beans. There’ll be a cheaper one later, possibly that you can build yourself, possibly without the road-legal bits (windscreen, lights, wipers, number plates etc), but that’s all yet to be finalised. And if that sounds expensive, then it probably is, for a toy. But for a little car that makes absolutely everyone grin when they see it, it’s cheap at half the price.

NEW 630bhp Audi RS6 Performance Meets America’s ULTIMATE Wagons! | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5TpDP9dTGA

In the US of A, you can drive anything. Muscle cars, trucks and particularly the SUV is king. So if you choose to ignore all of that and daily a traditional longroof estate car, you’re… kind of an eccentric. Curious to dive into the cult of the wagon, TopGear magazine’s Ollie Kew arranged a meet-up with ten of the West Coast’s biggest wagon fanatics, and took along the latest, greatest, fastest Audi Avant yet: the new 631bhp, £110,000 RS6 Performance. It’s the best RS6 ever, and proof Audi is getting the hang of an entertaining chassis… but at TG’s Festival of Wagon, it was the old-timers (and their owners) that were the real stars of the show.

FIRST DRIVE: Aston Martin DB12 – Can This 671bhp Super Tourer Take On Porsche & Ferrari? | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC5gID56mj4

The ‘world’s first Super Tourer’ is Aston’s claim, although that’s a term that has been bandied around before, applied to cars such as the Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari Roma that bridge the GT/Supercar divide. That’s where the DB12 is aiming though. It will be V8 only. No hybrid assistance to give a useful power (and weight…) boost, either. The final figures are 671bhp and 590lb ft. More than either the Porsche or Ferrari can muster. 0-62mph in 3.6secs since you’re asking, and still a 202mph top end. UK pricing hasn’t yet been announced. But prices are going to have stepped up markedly – and deservedly – from the DB11. Expect a £185,000 starting point. So, is Aston’s mission to become a genuine sporting brand, rather than a touring one, finally taking shape? TopGear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage heads to Monaco to drive the DB12 and find out. Chapters:

FIRST DRIVE: Rolls-Royce Spectre – 576bhp, £330k Electric Masterpiece | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqvx3aNjjXw

It weighs 2.9 tonnes, the Rolls-Royce Spectre. But even its 700kg battery back is used as a layer of soundproofing. That’s how focused Rolls-Royce was on creating the most refined car in the world with this: its first ever electric car. The Spectre doesn’t try to be radical: it looks like a Roller, it has a very traditional interior and underpinnings aren’t anything you haven’t seen from an EV before. So does that mean Rolls-Royce just got a bit more generic, or is this in fact the finest car on the face of the Earth? Poor old TopGear magazine’s Ollie Kew has been wafting around in the new £330,000 super-deluxe coupe to find out.
