FASTEST MUSTANG EVER around the Top Gear Track? – Clive Sutton CS850R Stig Lap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-data7Gttm4

The Top Gear Test Track has played host to multiple fast, modified Mustangs in the past – and this one is now officially the fastest. It’s the CS850R, Clive Sutton’s upgraded version of its already upgraded Ford Mustang (the CS850GT) and it has been optimised, just like The Stig, for track driving. CS takes the base Ford Mustang and its 5.0-litre V8, and adds a bespoke Whipple supercharger, intercooler and active exhaust. That increases power from the standard 454bhp to an alarming 847bhp and 665lb ft of torque. Get ready for some serious supercharger whine… Back in 2007 the Shelby GT500 set a 1:30.0, and the Roush Mustang upgraded to a 1:28.0. The CS850R managed an impressive 1:22.3 at the hands of The Stig – and on a VERY hot day too. Subscribe to see more upcoming Stig Laps via the link below

TRACK BATTLE: The Best Performance Cars Of 2022 Tested | Top Gear Speed Week Pt. 2/3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L44Vf8J-XNU

With the epic £500k Autobahn road trip successfully navigated (part 1: https://youtu.be/ODvTqQjDZWU), its now time to see what these Speed Week contenders are like on track. And where better than Autodrom Most? A circuit located in the western end of the Czech Republic only about 30 miles from the German border, where the love of racing runs deep. The corners are numbered, not named. Less evocative. It’s harder to express fear and trepidation when reverentially whispering about turns 4 and 19, rather than some mythically titled bend such as Pouhon or Paddock Hill. But ultra fast, ‘are they really flat?’ 4 and 19 are a genuine test of mettle and metal. Watch the Top Gear Magazine team navigate 4,212 metres of sublime track in the Aston Martin DBX 707, Audi RS3, BMW M4 CSL, Ferrari 296 GTB, Maserati MC20, Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica, McLaren Elva, Morgan Super 3, Porsche Cayman GT4 RS and the Praga R1, (deep breath) in an attempt to crown the ultimate performance car of 2022.

FIRST LOOK: Peugeot 9X8 – 600HP Hybrid Hypercar With No Rear Wing | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzPjvXUNaY0

This is Peugeot’s finished 9X8 endurance racing Hypercar, and yes, there’s still no rear wing. Peugeot reckons it can generate enough ground effect with clever under-body aero alone. Pretty impressive considering the 9X8 is a 671bhp endurance racer that weighs just over a tonne… The 9X8 conforms to the ACO and FIA’s Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) class and is four-wheel drive, with a 2.6-litre twin-turbo V6 powering the rear wheels and a bespoke, high performance electric motor on the fronts. Join Top Gear magazine’s Tom Ford for a look around the wingless 9X8 at Fuji Speedway, and find out more about the exciting new Le Mans Hypercar race series that has already attracted entries from BMW, Alpine, Ferrari, Porsche, Toyota and more… Chapters

FIRST LOOK: Koenigsegg CC850 – 1385hp, $3.65m Reimagined Hypercar | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIkO7LlhRVY

Koenigsegg has built a new car that looks like its oldest one. Welcome to the CC850: a 1,385hp hypercar with a very complicated manual/automatic gearbox, all clothed in the timeless design of Koenigsegg’s first ever production car. That’s the CC8S, providing ample proof of its ageless design concept because it looks just as fresh today as it did back in 2002. This new car celebrates 20 years since it first took flight, as well as the boss' 50th birthday. The CC850 achieves a 1:1 power to weight ratio with 1385hp (on E85) and a 1385 kg kerb weight. Oh, and did we forget to mention the perfect 1385 Nm @ 4800rpm for a full house? Join Top Gear magazine's Jack Rix and Christian von Koenigsegg for a guided tour around number 1 of 70 under the roof of the company's new factory. Chapters:

FIRST DRIVE: BMW M4 CSL – £128k, 542bhp Limited Edition Tested On Track | Top Gear Speed Week 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYq3i4X7h5c

This isn’t just a top-of-the-range BMW. The company has only used ‘CSL’ three times in its entire history. The CSL badge matters, and it’s reserved for deeply special cars… The last few hardcore M cars haven’t been deemed worthy, but now BMW says the time is right for the successor to the CSL dynasty. A road car, not a track car like the recent GTS models: this is supposed to be less about lap times, and more about thrills. A 50th anniversary birthday present to the M Division, and potentially a last hurrah for the M car as we know it, before electrification invades for good. The figures are impressive: 542bhp from a 3.0-litre 6cyl turbo makes the M4 CSL capable of 0-60mph 3.7 sec with a top speed of 190mph. But how will it perform compared to CSLs of the past, and can it live up to the badge? Here's Ollie Marriage's first drive from Speed Week 2022: Top Gear magazine's performance car mega-test.
