Could YOU Drive An Aston Martin Valkyrie?

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

Can anyone drive an Aston Martin Valkyrie? Well, no, because if you’re tall or wide you simply won’t fit into the snug little Formula 1-inspired cockpit. But, say you’re short and slight enough to squeeze in, could Joe Public drive the Valkyrie? We’re not talking about tickling it along at idle either, but properly uncorking the 6.5-litre V12, mashing the ERS button for an extra 143bhp of e-boost, and chasing the big speeds where the full 1000kg of downforce is produced. To answer such a question, Top Gear put its Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, into an Aston Martin Valkyrie, once Contributing Editor Jethro Bovingdon had shown him what it could really do… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WANT MORE TOP GEAR?

FIRST LOOK: Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RS – New Nürburgring King?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTZEEw0525U

The 1048bhp Mercedes AMG One is the production car lap record holder at the Nürburgring… and yet, despite being over 500bhp down on it, the current Porsche 911 GT3 RS would be nipping at its heels all the way around the iconic track. With pace like that, you don’t really need to go faster, do you? Well, Manthey thinks so. And as such, it’s given us this: the Manthey Performance Kit for Porsche’s track monster. It’s Manthey’s most in-depth upgrade to date, as it must take on the GT3 RS’s trick suspension and clever active aero and go one better. But wait, before you get sniffy about a tuned Porsche, remember that Manthey is 51% owned by Porsche, so this is essentially a factory car. Manthey and Porsche’s GT department use the same test driver, for instance, and you can buy the new kit through Porsche dealerships. That, and Manthey is Porsche racing royalty, with multiple class wins at Le Mans, and is just coming off the back of its 911s finishing first and second in the LMGT3 category in this year’s FIA World Endurance Championship. If anyone’s going to know how to make a Porsche faster on track… How has Manthey waved its magic wand though?

FIRST LOOK: TWR Supercat – Wild 650bhp V12-Engined Jaguar XJS

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

Welcome to the wild new TWR Supercat. It’s a restomod, but rather than a universally loved starting point, this limited-edition ‘super-GT’ is built from the bones of a car that was a) maligned on release, b) beset with reliability issues, and c) quite ugly. Perfect for a makeover, then. The Supercat has been spun off the Jaguar XJS, a car TWR (but likely few others) holds dear to its heart, thanks to a smattering of race wins. Count ‘em: TWR won the European Touring Car Championship, Spa 24hrs and Bathurst in 1984 in the big Jag. TWR today isn’t TWR from back in the day, mind. Now it’s a new company, albeit one run by Fergus Walkinshaw, son of original TWR founder Tom Walkinshaw. Anyway, the Supercat… there’s a mad new carbon body, a new interior, new chassis, plus a bored and supercharged 5.6-litre V12 good for around 650bhp. Over to both Ollie Kew and Ollie Marriage, for the full story… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WANT MORE TOP GEAR?

Bugatti Mistral! 282mph… With No Roof

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCnGxF_4qZo

There has never been an open-top version of the Chiron, as there was with the Veyron. But we’re not sad, because rather than merely cutting a hole in the roof to make one, Bugatti has instead given us this: the W16 Mistral. The jaw-dropping exterior is bespoke, just 99 will be made, and the price for admission is £5m. Production starts right about now, and every single one was sold out before it was revealed to the public back in 2022. It’s also the last-ever road-going Bugatti to use a W16 engine, before we move on to the V16-powered Tourbillon. And in this case, the quad-turbo, 8.0-litre, W16 engine goes out on a high, in the same 1600hp guise as used in the record-breaking 304mph Chiron Super Sport 300+. Speaking of which… when the roofless Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse hit 254mph in 2013, it did it with a mere 1200hp. With over a decade of engineering advancements behind it, including an extra 400hp, how fast might the W16 Mistral go? To find out, Top Gear joined Bugatti at the Papenburg proving ground in Germany, and snuck in a little go of our own.

Range Rover Sport SV vs Audi RS6 GT: Track Battle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWan7u2-yNM

Practicality and performance don’t often go together, but we all get a little excited when they do. Case in point: the optional back seats in the new Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. That’s one end of the scale though – a performance car with a sop to being sensible. At the other end of the scale (literally and figuratively) are properly practical cars that have had the wick turned up considerably. Like these two: the Range Rover Sport SV and the Audi RS6 GT. The former is the fastest version of Range Rover’s sportiest SUV, a follow-up to the outrageous previous-generation Sport SVR. The latter is a run-out version of Audi’s über go-faster estate, complete bespoke bodywork and manually adjustable coilover suspension. Each costs over £170,000. But are these proper performance cars, or just jack-of-all-trades machines that don’t quite hit the mark? Over to Top Gear Magazine’s Deputy Editor, Ollie Kew, to find out. With a little ‘help’ from The Stig… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WANT MORE TOP GEAR?
