FIRST DRIVE: Citroen Oli – A Genius Cardboard Car | Top Gear

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

Meet Oli. Citroen’s latest ‘wouldn’t it be great if’ concept that looks like a moon buggy that the rocket dropped from orbit, but the thinking is deeply down to earth. It tackles the major elephant in the room questions for electric cars, and manufacturing overall. The windscreen is flat because that uses less glass than a curved one. Aero isn’t important in town. What if we’ve gone wrong with supersized lithium-hungry batteries? The Oli’s is just 40kWh. But that’s good enough for 248 miles of range – twice the endurance of a Honda e for only 14 per cent more capacity – because it weighs half a tonne less. The Oli comes in at only 1,000kg, thanks to less soundproofing (EVs are already quiet), and a roof, bonnet and truck bed made from polyurethane-coated cardboard. So it’s waterproof, as strong as steel, but half the mass. And recyclable. It also drives. So join Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Kew as he talks you around this wacky concept before taking it for a quick spin.

World’s CRAZIEST Car Auction | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubT1T4XAZoc

We know car auctions. They’re either grotty places populated with car-dealing tyre-kickers looking for stock amongst unloved ex-rental repmobiles, or they’re ultra-exclusive, sip-champagne-on-immaculate-lawn events where exotic specimens (both cars and people) preen glossily and desire to be admired for their good taste and breeding.  
Barrett-Jackson is what happens when the two are combined and tossed in a blender with a good helping of American showmanship, pizzazz, noise, energy, dodgy artwork, hype, scale, speedboats, dust, liquor, excitement and people. Oh, and the Blue Origin space capsule. It’s effervescent and weirdly, oddly captivating. Special thanks to Barrett-Jackson for supplying auction footage.

NEW Ford Explorer: Bye-bye Focus And Fiesta, This Is The Future Of Ford | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWUFNAyWNZ0

Ford wants you to rethink what that Blue Oval badge means, in Europe at least. No more small hatchbacks like the Fiesta and the Focus. The plan is to build fewer cars, sell them at bigger profits, and double down on what Ford thinks sets it apart. Chiefly, being American. So future Fords will look more land-of-the-free, and they’ll be themed more around adventurous outdoorsyness than school-run buses. This brings us to an all-new Ford family hatchback: the Explorer. It’s a medium-sized all-electric crossover with five seats, a big square boot, and a chunky-but-friendly look about it. It’ll go on sale later this year with prices starting at less than £40,000, which slots it neatly between the current hybrid Kuga and the all-electric Mustang Mach-E. So, the question is whether Ford’s bold new unashamedly American-looking strategy will pay off everywhere else. Top Gear Magazine’s Senior Road Test Editor, Ollie Kew, takes a closer look.

ROAD DRIVE: Is The £2.5m Aston Martin Valkyrie Too Extreme For The Road? | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3au_VAAmYg

You’ve already seen the Valkyrie on track, but look, it has numberplates, this is a road legal machine. Remove the front plate and that’s where the first aid kit is tucked away. Ready distributed for you if you have a shunt. So what’s it like out there, amongst the Corollas and SUVs? In a world exclusive, Ollie Marriage spent the day driving Aston’s 1155bhp naturally aspirated V12 hypercar around the streets, drive throughs, cityscapes and oil fields of Bahrain, to see just how liveable the Valkyrie actually is. Oh, we should point out the 150mph standing start acceleration was done on track. Not in the centre of Manama. Obviously.
