Ad Feature: What Audi Learned At Last Year’s Dakar Rally

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRxMF4f6b88

In January 2022 Audi broke new ground. Literally. Not only did the German manufacturer enter the iconic Dakar Rally for the first time, it did it in a pioneering way using a unique and unproven concept. All cars finished. But it didn’t go perfectly – a Dakar hardly ever does. There were navigation issues to contend with, plus problems with the dampers. But the team came together to overcome struggles. Audi Sport, the drivers and a crew of brainy people are currently preparing for the next edition of the famous desert rally in early 2023. Having pushed boundaries and mastered multiple motorsport disciplines, including endurance racing, rallying, DTM, IMSA and Formula E, Audi is thirsty for Dakar success. With the world’s toughest rally kicking off once again in January 2023, you can see in the video above how the team and drivers are preparing and what they learned last year.

2023 Honda Civic Type-R: Real World Test On Road And Track | Top Gear

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

This is the latest FL5 generation Honda Civic Type R, driven on road and track. It’s likely the last of a dying breed, an old-school front-drive, manual gearbox hot hatch. One with 324bhp, a 171mph top end, some less, er, challenging looks than the old FK8 and a front end so clever it can outwit its own driver. Seriously, it’s capable of some mind-boggling feats. But is it a hot hatch at all when it’s almost the size of a BMW M3 and costs £47,000? It is when the recipe is right and it’s this good to drive. Honda has been building Civic Type Rs for 25 years, and has honed the latest to within an inch of its life. Nothing has been overlooked. The turbo spins 3 per cent more freely, the flywheel is 18 per cent lighter reducing inertia by 25 per cent, the steering column now wears a larger torsion bar reducing deflections by 60 per cent, revised lower suspension arms improve camber rigidity by 16 per cent and rear body rigidity is up 15 per cent. Many per cents. Enough in fact for us to declare the new Type R TopGear’s Car of the Year 2022. And not just because of the handling, nor the superb gearshift and the sublime new seats. It’s that it all works in such harmony and is as rewarding to drive as any ‘proper’ sports car you care to mention. It’s a sublime car, this. More demanding of you than a Golf GTI or R, but infinitely more entertaining and beguiling. What a thing to drive… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear Chapters:

NEW Maserati GranTurismo Folgore – £200k, 750bhp All-Electric GT Car Tested | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0YKb6RRuxg

Welcome to a world first. This is the new GranTurismo Folgore. When it arrives next year, it’ll be Maserati’s first pure EV. And it’s quite something: a tri-motor layout powered by a 92kwh battery and developing 750bhp. There will be no hybrid option, but as well as this all-electric model the marque will offer the GranTurismo with the MC20 supercar’s twin-turbo V6 Nettuno motor with either 483bhp (in the entry level Modena version) or 542bhp (for the Trofeo). But electric is the clever one, able to divvy power up between the motors and do complex torque vectoring stuff through corners. Range is quoted at 280 miles on the WLTP cycle. Petrols are likely to be around the £150k mark, this Folgore closer to £200,000. The name, by the way. It roughly translates as lightning or thunderbolt, and will be applied to all electric Maseratis in future. Folgore versions of the MC20 supercar and Grecale SUV will follow soon after. Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, got behind the wheel on track to tell us all about it. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear Chapters:

FIRST DRIVE: Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut – £2.3m, 1578bhp Hypercar Tested On Road And Track | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTd5f_Tj89M

This is the wingless Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut – according to Christian von Koenigsegg: “The name Absolut comes from the fact that this is the absolute fastest Koenigsegg that will ever make.” Yikes. The engine is a flat plane crank 5.1-litre twin-turbo V8 that for the most part feels naturally aspirated and always very angry indeed. It produces 1,578bhp and 1,106lb ft of torque, can rev from idle to 8,500rpm in 0.2 seconds, 0–62mph takes around 2.5 seconds and top speed in this Absolut version is theoretically the scary side of 310mph. We say theoretically, because no one’s found the space, or the brass balls, to find out yet… Only 125 will ever be built costing around £2.3m each, though deep pockets won’t help here – they’re all completely sold out. Allow Top Gear magazine's Jack Rix to be your guide on the fastest Koenigsegg ever. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear Chapters:
