FIRST LOOK: Ferrari 12Cilindri – Silly Name, Crazy 820bhp V12!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voq_CWeQ00c

The Italian language is very good – molto bene – at turning simple car names into lyrical poetry. ‘Four doors’ becomes ‘Quattroporte’. ‘Red head’ becomes ‘Testarossa’. And so, while this new Ferrari is called the 12 Cylinder, Maranello would prefer you wrapped your lips around their way of talking, and called it the Dodici Cilindri. (But, Because Marketing, the name is written out as 12Cilindri.) It’s an on-the-nose celebration of Ferrari’s signature dish: a big V12. A mighty 6.5-litre instrument, mounted way behind the front axle, and under a gigantic clamshell ‘cofango’ bonnet designed to showcase the engine bay more dramatically than the 812 Superfast or F12. Job done… Looks wise, there are hints of 365 Daytona at the front. There are also active aero flaps at the rear. Inside, Ferrari’s gone fully screen-gaga and deleted all the buttons. Good luck tuning the radio when 814bhp arrives at the rear wheels before the tyres are warm ‘n’ sticky. Unusually, Ferrari has revealed the €425,000 Spider drop-top along with the €390,000 coupe. Top Gear’s Ollie Kew has been to Ferrari HQ in Maranello, Italy to see them, and is here to talk you round the new V12. In his best Italian accent… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

Audi Group B Rally Car vs THE STIG | TG Tunnel Run

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAwH6d1Gp9g

The Stig’s secret subterranean lair is the perfect place to make a lot of noise with a lot of noisy cars. Welcome to Top Gear Tunnel Run.
 
In the first of a new series, our tame racing driver welcomes not just rallying royalty, but the king of the Quattros – the Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2.
 
Built in 1985, the E2 was the last of Audi’s Group B rally cars, and also the most ferocious. With fruity fuelling, a bucket-sized turbo and five cylinders, it also makes an orchestra’s worth of glorious, loud noises.
 
Join The Stig, and host Becky Evans, to hear just how loud this unhinged rally car can be…
 
Car: Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2
Engine: 2.1-litre turbocharged 5-cyl
Power: 550bhp
Price: Priceless
Top speed: N/A
Noise: 126.6dB Top Gear Tunnel Run is sponsored by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

We Went Camping In The Tesla Cybertruck…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2O1mppBlSM

Tesla markets the Cybertruck not just as an electric pick-up truck, but as an adventure truck that’s durable and rugged enough to go anywhere. Such a pitch moves it out of the urban poseur camp and into a niche where owners actually camp. So we borrowed a Cybertruck fully loaded with every accessory possible. And for context, put it up against EV rival Rivian, and its ground-up reimagining of the pick-up truck in the guise of the R1T. So, who does the electric adventure truck better? Top Gear Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, and Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, headed out in the desert armed with a steak and some fairy lights to find out… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST DRIVE: 1016bhp Ferrari SF90 XX Spider – How Hardcore Can A Cabrio Be?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFvoH4GTBt4

Ferrari’s track-only XX cars are rare, thought to number around 116 in total, spanning Enzo-based FXX, 599XX, and LaFerrari-underpinned FXX-K, plus their uprated Evo variants. But now the XX tag has been applied to Ferrari road cars. Hardcore ones of course, but while the first – the SF90 XX Stradale – is reassuringly expensive and the fastest-ever road car around Ferrari’s Fiorano test circuit, the company will build 799 of them. And, when we drove it in late 2023, it wasn’t quite all we thought a road-going XX should be. You could argue that’s okay. The XX sub-brand has been established – and can now be exploited – while Ferrari’s best clients switch their focus to the £5m 499P Modificata, a derestricted Le Mans car. And yet, there’s now a convertible XX, the new SF90 XX Spider. A sacrilegious step too far, too soon?

FIRST DRIVE: Pagani Utopia – 864bhp V12 Hypercar Or Art?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU8R7cR-gKA

Zonda. Huayra. A succinct but epic bloodline for the next Pagani hypercar to follow. And there’s much promise too, for the new Utopia: a twin-turbo, AMG-supplied V12 with 846bhp; a carbo-titanium monocoque; even the option of a manual gearbox… Only 99 will be built, each costing around £2.2m a pop. But is it a piece of automotive art, too delectable to be driven?

Can The Tesla Cybertruck Really Off-Road?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSgNA-pWM8w

Can it jump? Rock crawl? Survive the whoops? Conquer the sand dunes? In short, can the Tesla Cybertruck REALLY off-road? Viral videos of it struggling on mild inclines tell us ‘no’. But armed with a Cybertruck featuring Tesla’s latest off-road software update that finally allows you to lock the diffs, we took it – together with a Rivian R1T as a benchmark – to the middle of the Californian desert to find out.

FIRST DRIVE: MG Cyberster – 335bhp, £50k, RWD and Scissor Doors!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbTXrhA5DJ0

Indelibly linked with the MGB sports car of the 1960s and ‘70s, MG is now better known as the purveyor of practical cars at the affordable end of the market. Until now… You’re looking at a sports car that neither Porsche nor Tesla have managed to put into production yet: a two-door open-top with punchy electric power. It’s a halo car for MG, with svelte styling (complete with scissor doors) and single- and dual-motor powertrain options. We’ll likely see Porsche’s forthcoming electric Boxster and the much-delayed Tesla Roadster towards the end of 2024, but production of either won’t start until 2025. Which means, for now, the MG Cyberster has the market all to itself. But what’s it like to drive? To bring you one of the very first reviews in the world, Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford has been all the way to China to try it… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:
