0:00:00 > 0:00:02Now on Top Gear:
0:00:03 > 0:00:08It's all about luxury. A Rolls-Royce for two beautiful ladies.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13Tanner drives the new 250,000 Porsche 911.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15It is awesome!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18And we hit one of the richest towns in America
0:00:18 > 0:00:21to see if we can put one over on the locals.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- Is this a real Ferrari? - It says Ferrari right up there!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Welcome to Top Gear!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Today we're celebrating the cars that dreams are made of.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I know I have weird taste, but for you guys, what's your dream car?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Prius?!- That guy's a liar if he wants a Prius!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Man, you need to raise your goals!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- I heard Bugatti, I heard Ferrari. - Lamborghini.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10They're great cars, but that's because most of us can't afford them.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14When did 250,000 become the standard for a super car?
0:01:14 > 0:01:20It's unbelievable. So we were given a challenge. How much dream car can you get for just five grand?
0:01:20 > 0:01:26To see which one of us got the best deal, we took a trip to one of the richest places in America.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31New Jersey. Home of Atlantic City, the birthplace of Bon Jovi
0:01:31 > 0:01:35and more landfills than any other state in the Union.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40It's also one of the best places to snatch up used-car bargains.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Our challenge was to buy the best high-end car we could for 5,000.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49To see who chose best, we'd drive them through New York to The Hamptons,
0:01:49 > 0:01:54the playground of the rich and famous, to try and convince the locals they were the real deal.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00This is a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05I got it for 5,000. You can't even get a beat-up Camry for five grand!
0:02:05 > 0:02:10I like Cadillacs, I always did, but this is a whole new standard of elegance.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Everything about this car is grand. Look at this gas flap.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It's like a rudder!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I wasn't the only one to buy British.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- That's exotic?!- I'm sorry your husband passed away. How are you dealing with it?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- I didn't know you were 140 years old! - I didn't know you were a junk bond salesman!
0:02:29 > 0:02:35Allow me to introduce the 1982 Jag XJS.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37This thing is beautiful.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- This thing probably rides pretty good.- Excellent.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46This rides AND has performance. It's low-slung, looks like a cat about to attack.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49The only cool thing about this is it has a V12.
0:02:49 > 0:02:55Well, this one is part of a very popular Americanisation program
0:02:55 > 0:02:57where they put a Chevy 350 small block in it.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Come on, it adds a little red-neck to an otherwise almost overly-sophisticated...
0:03:02 > 0:03:06A little red-neck? You have to drive this without shoes or teeth!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10It's not that bad! Did you hear a rumbling?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15No way!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Look who got a Ferrari!
0:03:21 > 0:03:28- You did not. I can tell you that. - I always wanted a Ferrari 308 and I've finally got one.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- You did not get one. You bought a kit car. This is no Ferrari. - Look in there.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I don't have to. I can see it's too short, the intake doesn't work.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- This is a Faux-rrari! - There is a little bit of Pontiac Fiero in there!
0:03:42 > 0:03:48It's a kit car. You buy a cheaper car and replace the outside with a fibreglass version of a cool car.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52This is an '88 Fiero. It was built on the best year of the Fiero.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Look at that. - Your car is incontinent!
0:03:55 > 0:04:00As you're driving, you see people look at it like it's a Ferrari, then you see the Fiero gauges.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Doesn't it make you feel dirty inside?
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- It looks great!- But it's not a Ferrari and it won't make it in The Hamptons.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- 'Bickering wouldn't prove anything.' - What are you doing?- Getting in.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- But it's not right-hand drive. - I know.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17The door doesn't open?!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So we started on our journey to The Hamptons.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Our first challenge was at an airport 50 miles away.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28The drive gave us time to get to know our cars a little better.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35This is the definition of luxury. Rolls-Royce.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39This was the first unibody Rolls. And it has hydraulic rear suspension.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45Load it up with beer, dead bodies, money stolen from common people.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Doesn't matter. It just glides like a shadow.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54A couple of bad points. I'm sitting this close because this is as far as the seat goes back.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59AC doesn't work. I can't tell you its horsepower because Rolls-Royce don't disclose it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02They would say the horsepower is "sufficient".
0:05:02 > 0:05:05However, the brakes on this are not so sufficient.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14Look at him! He's driving to the country club. I own the country club!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I loved these things as a kid. They were just menacing!
0:05:18 > 0:05:22It has inboard rear brakes, a very sophisticated rear suspension
0:05:22 > 0:05:25and is actually pretty quick for how comfortable it is.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29When you get a car like this that has a cat for a name,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32the problems are considered character.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Tachometer and speedometer do not work at all. Does the horn work? ..No.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So you either think kit cars are cool
0:05:40 > 0:05:45or they're owned by underfunded posers that live in their Mom's basement.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I obviously think they're cool.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I've seen a lot of kit cars and this one is actually really close.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Kit cars were supposed to be a certain percentage different from the original
0:05:56 > 0:05:59so there wasn't copyright infringement.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03But this was so close, Ferrari sued the company that made it and put them out of business.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08My Ferrari looked great, but I quickly discovered one of its weaknesses.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- OK, I'm going to get hit. - HORNS BLARE
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Hi, sweetheart!
0:06:13 > 0:06:19That was a bold move pulling out in your 22hp Ferrari into the traffic like that!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I didn't think he was going to make it!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26It cruises beautifully at 30. It just takes a long time to get there!
0:06:27 > 0:06:33- I think you're upsetting the natives, Rutledge!- That was one ugly dude!
0:06:35 > 0:06:41Clearly you can't drive the Fiero like you would a Ferrari. That's what I'm learning.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Congress moves faster than that Ferrari!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Rutledge almost got himself killed, but he wouldn't give up.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52You guys aren't realising I'm driving a true exotic car.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56It's not just a nice car, it's...exotic.
0:06:56 > 0:07:03It's a Ferrari on the outside, a Pontiac on the outside. You're driving a vehicular transvestite!
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Well said!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09After an eventful 50 miles, we arrived at our first challenge.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- You OK?- It's English.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Ah. Beautiful runway.- You know what feels great? Being a Ferrari owner.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- It's not even Ferrari-ish.- It's amazing.- Let's see what we're doing.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33"The engineering of a great dream car should stand the test of time.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37"To see which of you chose best, you'll now make a top-speed run.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41"The car that comes closest to hitting its original top speed wins."
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- What will this do top speed? - Back in its day, this did 112.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Wow!- I don't believe that. - It did 112.- No way.
0:07:48 > 0:07:55- This thing is way too heavy to go that fast.- I believe 112. What does that thing do?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- 123.- What?!- No, no. That's what the Pontiac did.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05That's the Fiero speed. No way the top speed of a Ferrari 308 is 123. It's like in the 140s.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- 144, actually.- So you have to do 144.- You know what? Fine!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'll do 123 on my way to 144.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I'll do them both! Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- He's a bigger idiot than I thought. - Yeah!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22This thing, original speed, 142 miles an hour.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- Out of town!- With the V12.- With the V12. With the Chevy, it'll be even faster.- No.- Yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Adam, you're straddling the yellow line. Know what that means? - I've no idea.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It means you're going first. Watch and learn, kids.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38When you say learn, do we have to use our passenger door?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Shimmy on over there.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I'll sit over here on beauty and power.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Smoke the tyres!
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Yeah.- Hot them up!- Hot them up! - It's a Rolls-Royce, you idiots!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- You'll have to roll the window down. - I couldn't hear.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57That's obscene!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Look at that. Smooth as silk. - GEARS GRATE
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Hear that shift? - Difficult shift to second.
0:09:04 > 0:09:0630... 35.
0:09:06 > 0:09:0840.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11He is just not very far away!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14No need to go fast. I just look good getting there!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I can still read the license plate! That is sad!
0:09:17 > 0:09:2185... And I'm running out of room to stop.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Do you know the horsepower of those? - What?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- "Sufficient."- Get out!- Swear!
0:09:29 > 0:09:35- That didn't look like 112. - It's not about speed, it's about looking good getting there.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Hold on just a second.- I think this whole thing was about speed.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- No, it says top speed.- Right there. - It says speed right here.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- 85.- Bull.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- I don't think you did 85.- I did 85!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Miles an hour? - I needed room to stop.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- I'm up.- You're up.- I'm going.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57OK. Here we go.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59REVS ENGINE
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Raring to go here! I'm gonna go pretty soon.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06See you!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Come on, baby! That's what I'm talking about!
0:10:12 > 0:10:13COUGHS
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Why does he always have to do that? - Because he has a small penis!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I've got no speedometer whatsoever, but it feels like about 100.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25142 for that car was really fast.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Probably about 120.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Jeez, he might really do it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I think that's the end of the road.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Brakes work pretty good.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm looking for a fireball. Got anything?
0:10:42 > 0:10:48- Hello. Sorry about the burnout there. - Maybe a little excessive.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- 148 miles an hour.- You did not! - Don't fool us. You did not.- Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Unless the speedometer's wrong.- Does your speedometer work?- Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Oh, yeah.- It works?- Oh, yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06You know what? I can beat it. I can do 149.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- In that?!- Yeah, 149.- Why 149? Are you just one-upping me?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Adding one number to my number? - I picked it out of thin air.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21- You'll be surprised.- Real mature, one-upper. That's the slowest red car ever. You won't see triple digits.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23That's not true.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- All right, Ferrari. Sorry, that was really close to your name!- Yes!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Oh, this thing runs like crap.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Still in second gear!
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- Shift!- Foot is on the floor!
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Really, really come on!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Do something!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53That is depressing!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'm going to have to lie!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- How are you?- Real good.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- OK. What was your speed? - How did you do?
0:12:11 > 0:12:16I was going so fast, it was hard to look down.
0:12:16 > 0:12:1740? 45?
0:12:17 > 0:12:1955?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Did you make 60?- I didn't. I hit 55.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Seriously?- State speed limit I did not break. That's all she had. - That's it?
0:12:27 > 0:12:33- That is so sad!- I'm ashamed. What a huge piece of...
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Thank God it looks so good. Still the best-looking car here. - It's terrible!
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- Let's go.- I am happy to be climbing back into that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I have the best-looking car here.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Buffy and Anastasia, they're all going to love this.
0:12:50 > 0:12:56We made our way to The Hamptons for the next challenge. Which of our cars would fit in best?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Vineyards, money, Rolls-Royce, I am in my element right here.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Holy cow!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09That is a ranch right there.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12People with their own equestrian tracks.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16"I think I'll take Buffy out for a ride this morning."
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Wow, look at these houses.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Look at that!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What the hell is that?
0:13:25 > 0:13:30When people are buying an exotic car, they're making a statement.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Maybe it says, "I've arrived", or "I'm fancy now."
0:13:34 > 0:13:40This car screams, "Bravo!" And, "Yeah", all put together.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Adam says, "Pardon me, do you have any grave coupons?"
0:13:55 > 0:14:00We arrived at the location for our next challenge. The ultra-exclusive Bridge Golf Club
0:14:00 > 0:14:04where membership will cost you 750,000.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Rutledge's Fiero was so nervous, it wet itself.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12"A great dream car is one people want to be seen in.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16"To find out which of you chose the most appealing car,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19"you will pick up and drive as many Hamptonites as you can
0:14:19 > 0:14:22"to an event here at the Bridge Golf Club.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25"You have one hour. Most people moved wins."
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Most people moved wins.- Yes.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Gentlemen, this is The Hamptons. This is all about image, OK?
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- This is an image. This is offensive. - You know what?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40My Ferrari is as real as the women's breasts up here!
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Well, that's a fair point. - Thank you. Thank you.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Are you going to tell people it's a Ferrari?- It may not even come up.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51We've got one hour. I'm going to prove you guys wrong. Ready?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Let's go.- Let's go.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- How do we know if they're Hamptonites?- They'll be looking down on you!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Right.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Hold on, world!
0:15:03 > 0:15:07TYRES SCREECH
0:15:07 > 0:15:12We had been hired to chauffeur women from a beauty salon in town
0:15:12 > 0:15:14to a gala event at the golf club.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Here we are, fellas!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- CRUNCH - Sorry!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- God!- Hi, ladies!
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Adam and Rutledge pounced first.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28What are you doing?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31This is just a safety precaution.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- I think I smell fire coming out. Did I scare you? I'm sorry.- No.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Is the car on fire?- I can smell it. - That's his car.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42What you smell is his car. Sorry. We're blocked in here.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Can you move that piece of crap out of the way?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49OK. Ready?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Hold on. It accelerates pretty fast.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And...there I go.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59What's up? Hey!
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Ferrari 308.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Wheee!
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- Ever been in a Rolls-Royce before? - Yeah, but not one like this!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Yeah, she's special.
0:16:12 > 0:16:19This is the 308, which you may recognise from Magnum P.I. Did you ever watch that show?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Uh, I wasn't alive.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24OK.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It's a little warm in here. Can you turn on the AC?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Um, AC carries a lot of germs, you know?
0:16:31 > 0:16:38- So I prefer the cross ventilation. I can go faster.- No, we're good.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44You know, the thing about exotic cars is they draw a lot of attention.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Obviously very beautiful women like yourself find the cars very attractive.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I'm sure that's what drew you to the car initially.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55BANG
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Whoa! Sorry.- What was that?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00That was the car backfiring.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05I haven't had a chance to get this into the Ferrari dealership.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11It's hard to get... And the car's shut off. OK. I just need one...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- There it goes.- Good.- Let me just open her up a bit.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Yeah, there we go!
0:17:18 > 0:17:24- I'm starting to feel really car sick because it's so warm in here. - OK, I'll speed up.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28No! Um, can you just pull over right here?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31We can run in here into the ladies' room.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Ladies, I have found you a rest room.- OK, great.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Oh, yeah.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Look at that. Just hit 40!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57The king of the road, we established, is the Jag.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- How did you establish that? - In our top speed tests. - We had one challenge!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It still shows what you can get for five grand.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08But if you had a bit more to spend, you could buy a real dream car
0:18:08 > 0:18:10like this GT3 RS.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16It's absolutely stunning. But Porsche has come out with an even faster car
0:18:16 > 0:18:19and guess who got to drive it?
0:18:23 > 0:18:28This is the fastest, most powerful production Porsche ever.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32In development, Porsche's engineers, who don't overstate things,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35code-named it The Beast.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40This is the 911 GT2 RS.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51GT2 RS, over 620 horsepower,
0:18:51 > 0:18:56205 miles an hour. 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01It eats the asphalt, just devours it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09To get these figures, Porsche had to cut weight drastically.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15So they got out the axe and made the GT2 RS just over 3,000lbs.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19An astonishing 400lbs lighter than the next model down,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22the 911 Turbo.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26They lost the rear seats, the all-wheel drive went out the window
0:19:26 > 0:19:32and even the metal badge on this carbon fibre hood became a sticker.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Even though this car started out as a mechanic's pipe dream,
0:19:36 > 0:19:42eventually 80,000 engineering hours and nearly half a million miles of testing
0:19:42 > 0:19:44were invested in it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48If you want to buy the GT2 RS,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51it'll cost you a cool 245 grand,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53but you're too late.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Porsche will only make 500, and they've already sold the lot.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04As with all 911s, the engine is buried in the rear, a legacy of the VW Beetle it's derived from.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07It's a key to its high-strung handling.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12This is a good old-fashioned beast that could get you into real trouble.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23The remarkable thing about Porsches, especially the 911, is that if you take it easy,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26you could even call it practical.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30It's got pretty good storage space. There's a lot of room up-front.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33The visibility is second to none
0:20:33 > 0:20:39and this 911 is as comfortable sitting in traffic as it is shredding up a mountain road.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43You can't say that about too many cars in the 200-mph club.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49So the Porsche 911 GT2 RS could be the world's fastest car
0:20:49 > 0:20:52that you could legitimately take shopping.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Porsche have always made cars with a split personality.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04I'd met the practical shopping car. Now I wanted the raging, snarling beast to bite me,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08fling me from the track in a red mist of rage.
0:21:14 > 0:21:21A car like this is undeniably built to test your moxy as a driver.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24That's right, I said it. Moxy.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32I will say that this does not feel like 620 horsepower.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38I expected so much more drama from this car. I expected to be scared.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44This was bugging me. Where was the beast?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Something was wrong here.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52Maybe in trying to create a practical supercar, Porsche had grabbed the beast...
0:21:53 > 0:21:55..and cut off its horns.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06So I called Porsche...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09..and they had an answer.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14The surface temperature is now reading 161 degrees.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18That is really bad for a turbo-charged engine.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22They're extracting a bit more out of the same amount of fuel
0:22:22 > 0:22:25and when you have hot air, it basically wants to combust
0:22:25 > 0:22:28before the spark even lights.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31A car can lose as much as 70 to 80 horsepower
0:22:31 > 0:22:33just in temperature swing.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38So, if I was going to unleash this beast inside the GT2 RS,
0:22:38 > 0:22:43I'd have to take a journey to one place you can escape the California desert heat.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48A far-away place called...night.
0:23:03 > 0:23:0612.00am. Downtown Los Angeles.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Temperature, 60 degrees.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Welcome to Beesenville.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Sun's gone down. Entering the city.
0:23:20 > 0:23:27All this light to light business is not what you think the GT2 RS was designed for.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29And I would agree with you.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Unless, of course, you had a fleet of officers there
0:23:35 > 0:23:42whose sole purpose was to close these streets down for your enjoyment!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44This is for you. It's not for me.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I'm barely even going to enjoy this.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52SIRENS BLARE
0:23:59 > 0:24:01It is awesome!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03TYRES SCREECH
0:24:05 > 0:24:11Now that the cold air is out, this thing is back to being a beast!
0:24:33 > 0:24:36As I raced through tunnels and dark avenues,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41I finally discovered what this car was really about.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Yeah!
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That is what I am talking about!
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Jesus!
0:25:06 > 0:25:11It's like a dream come true. Ground rush from the kerbs, the lights, the poles,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14everything is ridiculous!
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Looked like I wasn't the only beast out hunting.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Rivals.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Looks like we have the inevitable California competition at the light.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29And this was serious competition.
0:25:29 > 0:25:36A 500-horsepower classic '69 Chevy Nova, one of the great muscle cars.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40And an American legend, a 2009 Dodge Viper SRT 10.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Zero to 60 in under 3.6 seconds.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Both had the muscle to send the Porsche packing.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Not surprisingly, the Porsche whipped the competition.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And that Nova sounded serious, too.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39The beast inside the GT2 RS was sated.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42And so was I.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47This car had finally lived up to its fearsome reputation.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54In its 45-year run, there really hasn't been a bad 911.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57You can't say that about Corvette, Lamborghini or Ferrari.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03There's a temptation to call this one the latest, greatest and fastest ever.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08The ultimate 911. It's found a perfect balance between a liveable supercar
0:27:08 > 0:27:11and the ultimate driving utensil.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15But then again, that's what we thought about the last 911.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24We're on a drive from New Jersey to The Hamptons
0:27:24 > 0:27:28to find out how much luxury you can get for just five grand.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Some of us are doing better than others.- Oh?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34At least the girls got into my car!
0:27:34 > 0:27:40Unless these girls need their teeth cleaned, no-one wanted to get into your creepy dentist chair!
0:27:40 > 0:27:44I did get off to a slow start, but things started to look up.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I was first to deliver my posh local to the event.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Adam hadn't been so lucky. His girls had walked off and left him half way!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01And Tanner had only just started.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05I'm your ride. Don't mean to rush you. Just running a bit late.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13OK. All right, we're out of here!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Wow. Is this is a real Ferrari? - It says Ferrari right up there.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Here we go!
0:28:24 > 0:28:26My friend has a car like this.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- This is really different. - This is all custom.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33A Rolls-Royce for two beautiful ladies.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34We're off.
0:28:38 > 0:28:44I'm glad you got into my car. Not many people climb straight into the Jag.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48It can be intimidating because of its raw power.
0:28:48 > 0:28:55Getting a little hard to shift in here. I might have to check... Oh, boy!
0:28:55 > 0:29:00Sorry, just let me... Yeah, there it went.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- Is that smoke?- Smoke?- Yeah.
0:29:03 > 0:29:09Yeah, it's like a dusty kind of smoke. Watch, if we speed up, it goes away.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12It'll be gone in a minute.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- It's a V8, right?- Right. Do you want to feel the thunder?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Oh, yeah!
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- It's surprisingly fast, right? - How much is this car?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Thank you so much. Hope you have a wonderful time. Nice to meet you!
0:29:27 > 0:29:31So you were only interested in your relationship for two years?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Then you were getting out of it for nearly two?
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- Yes, pretty much.- Good gosh!
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- Are you a Gemini? - Close.- Taurus?- Taurus.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Oh, you feel that power?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Um, is this really a Ferrari?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Here we are, ladies.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- I'll get the door!- No. - Let me let you out.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57No, no.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Thank you!
0:30:01 > 0:30:05The hour was up, and I only managed to deliver two girls
0:30:05 > 0:30:08but surely Ruts's pseudo supercar couldn't have done better?
0:30:10 > 0:30:15- How you doing?- Fantastic. - Is she still alive or did she die from fumes?
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- She loves the Ferrari. I'll get that.- How does she feel about the Pontiac?
0:30:20 > 0:30:27- There you go. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful time. So nice to meet you.- Thank you.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- Oh, look!- It's the XJ moron. Wow.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34There's a girl driving Taylor's car!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- ..so am I.- It's going to be... - What is he doing?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Oh, gosh! There you go.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Your sister's wedding? How much fun is that?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I had no idea a car could go sideways!
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Remember, this one's mine. You can't have it. Yep.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Thank you for the drive. Wonderful driver.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Thank you.- Really good girl.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Why was she driving your car?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- She wanted to buy it because it is so awesome.- Oh, stop it!
0:31:07 > 0:31:11She totally dug the thing from the moment she saw it. And the V8, everything.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Is that a hickey? - No, it's not a hickey!
0:31:13 > 0:31:17What are you talking about? People don't get hickeys any more.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Anyway, are we going back at it again or what?
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- Round Two, baby.- That's it.- How many did you get?- That's the hour.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31- It has not been...- It has. - Is that the only girl in one hour? - You got one.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Now it's time for something we call Big Star, Small Car.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39We take a celebrity, put him in our small car
0:31:39 > 0:31:43and let him rip up our track to see how can set the fastest lap time.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48Our celebrity today is from Torchwood. Welcome, Arlene Tur.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Thank you.- Ready?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Yeah, I'm ready, but are you ready?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I'm fine. I'll take all these guys into the hangar.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03What kind of driver are you? Conservative? Are you composed behind the wheel?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Extremely composed. All the time.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- OK.- Nobody has anything to worry about.- OK, great.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- We'll see you after your lap. - OK.- Go get 'em!
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Here we go.- Terrible start!
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Not getting on with that stick.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Unbelievable.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- She is flying through that first turn.- Woo!
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Woo-woo-woo-woo!
0:32:33 > 0:32:35She's happy about it!
0:32:37 > 0:32:40She's coming into the tear drop.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Moving at a pretty good speed. You have to be careful here. See how she does.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49SPEAKS IN CUBAN SPANISH
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Which means, "I'm having a lovely time on Top Gear. Thanks for inviting me, Gringo."
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- #- Un pocito mas, un pocito meno
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- #- La-la-la-la-la-la.- #
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Hug it. Hug it, hug it, hug it.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Nice and close past the tyres. Pretty good speed.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10The track is a little moist, which makes it more grippier.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Slow down.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Where am I going?
0:33:15 > 0:33:21GPS is busted in the car as well. She's still pretty good. This is the roughest part of the track.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23She's not on the brakes at all!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Nice!
0:33:25 > 0:33:29What? What? I'm a race car driver, Momma!
0:33:29 > 0:33:30I'm a race car... Uh-oh!
0:33:30 > 0:33:33TYRES SCREECH
0:33:33 > 0:33:36And across the flag! She hit the flag!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Oh, that's great!
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Arlene, come on up!
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Arlene Tur!
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- You did so good!- Oh, no! - Have a seat.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Did you have fun?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I had so much fun!
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- You hit...- No.- ..two cones...
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Two only?- You broke a camera.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- What?!- You scared a cameraman.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25- And you did something. You broke the flag. You hit the flag when you came in.- No!
0:34:25 > 0:34:27You actually hit the flag!
0:34:27 > 0:34:33- I have to tell you...- Where can I hide?- You're pretty much put your foot down and hold on.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35I told you I was very composed.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40- So I had to let it rip. - I'm glad you let it out here, cos you're going to kill somebody!
0:34:40 > 0:34:46I know. I've never been told I could go as fast as I wanted. So...
0:34:46 > 0:34:51- You don't go fast on the roads. That's responsible. What's your daily drive?- A Jeep Wrangler.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Extended back, looks like a pick-up truck.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Sweet. I love it.- This segment is all about dream cars.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00What would be your dream car?
0:35:00 > 0:35:05- Ooh, I have a couple.- Good. - The Shelby Cobra is a favourite.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- Excellent choice.- I would say vino, wine, with the pearl stripes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- You have it all picked out. - I don't care if it's a kit car!
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- OK.- Doesn't have to be the really expensive one
0:35:17 > 0:35:23- because I also want the Mercedes G-wagen.- G-wagen.- Cabriole. The convertible.- OK.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27A man's picking you up for a date. Is there any car where you'd go, "Hell, no!"
0:35:27 > 0:35:34- No, not really.- A Dodge Caliber?- No. - What about an '83 Civic Wagon?
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- No. It's the guy that pulls up, not the car.- Really?- Yeah. - I don't believe it.- What?
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- A guy pulls up in a Pontiac Aztec? You're going to be like...- No,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48that's not right. I disagree with that. I don't care about the Aztec.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51All right. Tell me about Torchwood.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- Death doesn't work in Torchwood? They tried to explain it.- This season it's called Miracle Day.
0:35:56 > 0:36:02Something happens where everyone stops dying. There's going to be over-population.
0:36:02 > 0:36:08It's how Torchwood, the CIA, the government, everyone deals with the question of immortality.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10On the show, what's your character?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I play a cardiothoracic surgeon.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18- So you're a surgeon that saves people's lives that don't die. - Exactly!
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Nobody's dying, but everybody's still getting hurt.
0:36:22 > 0:36:28Pain still exists and there's over-population, not enough resources or staff. So...
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- It's the house I grew up in! - Pretty much!
0:36:32 > 0:36:34I have to ask, what did you think of our Suzuki?
0:36:34 > 0:36:40Oh, it's nice. I didn't know I could take it that fast on the corners! I really...
0:36:40 > 0:36:43I like your style. We have the same style.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- How do you think you did?- Terrible! - Terrible?
0:36:45 > 0:36:52I think I did terrible because I've never trained. I didn't know when to brake.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55I had the clutch in probably the whole time I was driving.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00- Right.- So I'm thinking I'm right under Buzz.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Adam had to win here to salvage a tie.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43What kind of place is this?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46It's a metal recycling plant.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Really?- Basically a mortuary for cars.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- Wow.- It is the site of our next challenge.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55"Dream cars cost serious money.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00"For that, your expectations are that you'll get serious engineering and build quality.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36OK. The quality of these cars is what will keep them together.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39This was a challenge made for my Rolls.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Here was my chance to get back in the game.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- Right. I'm ready.- Sure about this? - Positive.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- Come on down!- Watch the windshield.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Come on down! - Don't break the windshield!

0:40:12 > 0:40:16- Oh, look at that!- OK, that's good, guys. Don't scratch it!- Goodness me!
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- That's your jack!- That doesn't count. It's an accessory.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- That's build quality, all right. - Quality.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28My Rolls put up a good fight. Now was time for the bearded boy in the plastic Pontiac.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31She's ready!
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- Something's got to be loose. Cover up.- OK.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- Is that going to help?- A little lower. That's good.- Keep it coming.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Perfect. Don't change a thing.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- Plenty of room.- That's good. That's fine there. That's good.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- Here we go.- Look at this!
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- Look at that quality.- I don't think it's on. Hold on.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56You don't think it's on?!
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Whoa!
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Yes!- Well, it's on.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05That means your car is so cheap it doesn't have enough metal in it
0:41:05 > 0:41:07to react to a magnet.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Garbage. Get it out of there.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13At last it was Tanner's turn to put his Jaguar XJ crap under the magnet.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Come on, come on!
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- If he won this, he'd take the title. - No problem.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Hand-made.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Right. Bring it over!
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- I'm pretty nervous, to be honest. - You should be. Turn that thing on.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- It's on now.- You can hear it. - Go easy.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Just ripped it off the hinges!
0:41:43 > 0:41:44I think we're done here.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Does that count as one part?
0:41:53 > 0:41:58Totally scratched it up. Come on, now. It's not funny.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- This counts as one.- No, two.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Two wipers. Wipers.- This is three.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05That's three.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I'm taking my car and I'm leaving.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12I'll just wait here. Nothing fell off mine.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Ladies and gentlemen, my Ferrari!
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Thank you. She is a thing of beauty.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Please stop insulting these people. Tell them what it really is.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28It's a 308 P.O.S.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31It's a winner, I know that much.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36A winner? The last challenge was ridiculous! It won because it's made of plastic!
0:42:36 > 0:42:40I could have showed up on a big wheel and won.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42So you should have shown up on a big wheel and won!
0:42:42 > 0:42:47Yeah, with this Ferrari racing suspension! Look at this!
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Good gosh. All right. On that note, that's all we've got.
