Inside Ferrari’s ULTIMATE Restoration Workshop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksNwaD54YVE

In a quiet corner of the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, a small, dedicated team document the past and offers classics a future. This is Ferrari’s Classiche department – and it’s where the world’s most expensive cars come when they need a spruce up. But it’s only a relatively recent development, as under founder Enzo, Ferrari was a race team first, always focused on what’s next, not what’s past. It was only in 2004 that CEO Jean Todt spotted the value in the back catalogue and realised that if others were restoring and rebuilding Ferraris, the firm itself should have a stake in that. The Classiche (that second one is a hard C) unit got going two years later. Two decades on, we’ve been for a poke around, to see just how diverse and adept Classiche has become. Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, is your guide… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

The Greatest Collection Of JDM Tuner Cars Ever?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTvjMUiba70

There exists, in an anonymous industrial estate near to one of Britain’s major airports, an Aladdin’s cave of JDM wonder. It’s called HJA (Harlow-Jap-Autos) and is run by two brothers who have grown it into an internationally renowned business that imports specialist Japanese models to the UK. You’ll find Imprezas, Evos, RX-7s and Supras inside, but HJA’s bread and butter is the Nissan Skyline GT-R. There’s always a full spectrum of R32, R33 and R34s on offer, from untouched standard cars to outrageous tuned models built by some of Japan’s premier tuning houses. When Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford visited, there was also a rather special NISMO CRS, Europe’s one and only, with a price tag not far shy of seven figures. Look but don’t touch, Tom… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

Flat-Out In The £3.5m Bugatti Bolide!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFre_PN4h4U

The track-only Bugatti Bolide is deranged. Because as its starting point the Bolide doesn’t take some lithe and lightweight little powertrain, but Bugatti’s juggernaut of an engine – the infamous 1,578bhp 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16. It’s arguably the world’s greatest hypercar powertrain, and in the Bolide it’s strapped to a true racing car chassis, an entirely new carbon monocoque built to FIA safety requirements. The mad engine and unique chassis are then clothed in bespoke carbon body panels, which look knee-tremblingly good and generate almost three tonnes of downforce at the Bolide’s top speed. Which is 227mph in the high-downforce setting. Bugatti is building only 40 Bolides, they’ll cost £3.5m each, and Top Gear is the first to experience it in full flight, besides chief test driver (and Le Mans winner) Andy Wallace… Over to Top Gear Magazine’s editor-in-chief, Jack Rix, who tries not to be sick in the passenger footwell.

FIRST DRIVE: New Toyota Land Cruiser vs Scotland

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

Few cars have set the internet alight in the past year quite like the new Toyota Land Cruiser. Just. Look. At. It! Mixing a whole load of right angles with some retro FJ40 Land Cruiser vibes, the design is spot on. Thank goodness too, because after seven decades the Land Cruiser had become a dumpy and dull (if still capable and reliable) 4×4. Amazing how a little love from the design department can transform our expectations… But has the new Land Cruiser got the goods to back up its new looks? It needs to clamber over the rough stuff like its ancestors, yet in the face of rivals like the Land Rover Defender, now be comfy and cosseting enough for the school run or daily commute. To find out what’s what, Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, took the new Toyota Land Cruiser to Scotland for a rather tough first test.
