It's all about luxury. A Rolls-Royce for two beautiful ladies.

0:00:030:00:08

Tanner drives the new 250,000 Porsche 911.

0:00:080:00:13

It is awesome!

0:00:130:00:15

And we hit one of the richest towns in America

0:00:150:00:18

to see if we can put one over on the locals.

0:00:180:00:21

-Is this a real Ferrari?

-It says Ferrari right up there!

0:00:210:00:25

Welcome to Top Gear!

0:00:430:00:45

Today we're celebrating the cars that dreams are made of.

0:00:450:00:49

I know I have weird taste, but for you guys, what's your dream car?

0:00:490:00:53

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

0:00:530:00:55

-Prius?!

-That guy's a liar if he wants a Prius!

0:00:550:00:59

Man, you need to raise your goals!

0:00:590:01:03

-I heard Bugatti, I heard Ferrari.

-Lamborghini.

0:01:030:01:06

They're great cars, but that's because most of us can't afford them.

0:01:060:01:10

When did 250,000 become the standard for a super car?

0:01:100:01:14

It's unbelievable. So we were given a challenge. How much dream car can you get for just five grand?

0:01:140:01:20

To see which one of us got the best deal, we took a trip to one of the richest places in America.

0:01:200:01:26

New Jersey. Home of Atlantic City, the birthplace of Bon Jovi

0:01:260:01:31

and more landfills than any other state in the Union.

0:01:310:01:35

It's also one of the best places to snatch up used-car bargains.

0:01:350:01:40

Our challenge was to buy the best high-end car we could for 5,000.

0:01:400:01:45

To see who chose best, we'd drive them through New York to The Hamptons,

0:01:450:01:49

the playground of the rich and famous, to try and convince the locals they were the real deal.

0:01:490:01:54

This is a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.

0:01:540:02:00

I got it for 5,000. You can't even get a beat-up Camry for five grand!

0:02:000:02:05

I like Cadillacs, I always did, but this is a whole new standard of elegance.

0:02:050:02:10

Everything about this car is grand. Look at this gas flap.

0:02:100:02:13

It's like a rudder!

0:02:130:02:16

I wasn't the only one to buy British.

0:02:170:02:20

-That's exotic?!

-I'm sorry your husband passed away. How are you dealing with it?

0:02:200:02:25

-I didn't know you were 140 years old!

-I didn't know you were a junk bond salesman!

0:02:250:02:29

Allow me to introduce the 1982 Jag XJS.

0:02:290:02:35

This thing is beautiful.

0:02:350:02:37

-This thing probably rides pretty good.

-Excellent.

0:02:370:02:40

This rides AND has performance. It's low-slung, looks like a cat about to attack.

0:02:400:02:46

The only cool thing about this is it has a V12.

0:02:460:02:49

Well, this one is part of a very popular Americanisation program

0:02:490:02:55

where they put a Chevy 350 small block in it.

0:02:550:02:57

Come on, it adds a little red-neck to an otherwise almost overly-sophisticated...

0:02:570:03:02

A little red-neck? You have to drive this without shoes or teeth!

0:03:020:03:06

It's not that bad! Did you hear a rumbling?

0:03:060:03:10

No way!

0:03:130:03:15

Look who got a Ferrari!

0:03:190:03:21

-You did not. I can tell you that.

-I always wanted a Ferrari 308 and I've finally got one.

0:03:210:03:28

-You did not get one. You bought a kit car. This is no Ferrari.

-Look in there.

0:03:280:03:33

I don't have to. I can see it's too short, the intake doesn't work.

0:03:330:03:37

-This is a Faux-rrari!

-There is a little bit of Pontiac Fiero in there!

0:03:370:03:42

It's a kit car. You buy a cheaper car and replace the outside with a fibreglass version of a cool car.

0:03:420:03:48

This is an '88 Fiero. It was built on the best year of the Fiero.

0:03:480:03:52

-Look at that.

-Your car is incontinent!

0:03:520:03:55

As you're driving, you see people look at it like it's a Ferrari, then you see the Fiero gauges.

0:03:550:04:00

Doesn't it make you feel dirty inside?

0:04:000:04:03

-It looks great!

-But it's not a Ferrari and it won't make it in The Hamptons.

0:04:030:04:08

-'Bickering wouldn't prove anything.'

-What are you doing?

-Getting in.

0:04:080:04:12

-But it's not right-hand drive.

-I know.

0:04:120:04:15

The door doesn't open?!

0:04:150:04:17

So we started on our journey to The Hamptons.

0:04:170:04:20

Our first challenge was at an airport 50 miles away.

0:04:200:04:24

The drive gave us time to get to know our cars a little better.

0:04:240:04:28

This is the definition of luxury. Rolls-Royce.

0:04:310:04:35

This was the first unibody Rolls. And it has hydraulic rear suspension.

0:04:350:04:39

Load it up with beer, dead bodies, money stolen from common people.

0:04:390:04:45

Doesn't matter. It just glides like a shadow.

0:04:450:04:48

A couple of bad points. I'm sitting this close because this is as far as the seat goes back.

0:04:490:04:54

AC doesn't work. I can't tell you its horsepower because Rolls-Royce don't disclose it.

0:04:540:04:59

They would say the horsepower is "sufficient".

0:04:590:05:02

However, the brakes on this are not so sufficient.

0:05:020:05:05

Look at him! He's driving to the country club. I own the country club!

0:05:070:05:14

I loved these things as a kid. They were just menacing!

0:05:140:05:18

It has inboard rear brakes, a very sophisticated rear suspension

0:05:180:05:22

and is actually pretty quick for how comfortable it is.

0:05:220:05:25

When you get a car like this that has a cat for a name,

0:05:250:05:29

the problems are considered character.

0:05:290:05:32

Tachometer and speedometer do not work at all. Does the horn work? ..No.

0:05:320:05:37

So you either think kit cars are cool

0:05:370:05:40

or they're owned by underfunded posers that live in their Mom's basement.

0:05:400:05:45

I obviously think they're cool.

0:05:450:05:48

I've seen a lot of kit cars and this one is actually really close.

0:05:480:05:51

Kit cars were supposed to be a certain percentage different from the original

0:05:510:05:56

so there wasn't copyright infringement.

0:05:560:05:59

But this was so close, Ferrari sued the company that made it and put them out of business.

0:05:590:06:03

My Ferrari looked great, but I quickly discovered one of its weaknesses.

0:06:030:06:08

-OK, I'm going to get hit.

-HORNS BLARE

0:06:080:06:10

Hi, sweetheart!

0:06:120:06:13

That was a bold move pulling out in your 22hp Ferrari into the traffic like that!

0:06:130:06:19

I didn't think he was going to make it!

0:06:190:06:22

It cruises beautifully at 30. It just takes a long time to get there!

0:06:220:06:26

-I think you're upsetting the natives, Rutledge!

-That was one ugly dude!

0:06:270:06:33

Clearly you can't drive the Fiero like you would a Ferrari. That's what I'm learning.

0:06:350:06:41

Congress moves faster than that Ferrari!

0:06:410:06:44

Rutledge almost got himself killed, but he wouldn't give up.

0:06:440:06:48

You guys aren't realising I'm driving a true exotic car.

0:06:480:06:52

It's not just a nice car, it's...exotic.

0:06:520:06:56

It's a Ferrari on the outside, a Pontiac on the outside. You're driving a vehicular transvestite!

0:06:560:07:03

Well said!

0:07:030:07:04

After an eventful 50 miles, we arrived at our first challenge.

0:07:040:07:09

-You OK?

-It's English.

0:07:180:07:20

-Ah. Beautiful runway.

-You know what feels great? Being a Ferrari owner.

0:07:200:07:24

-It's not even Ferrari-ish.

-It's amazing.

-Let's see what we're doing.

0:07:240:07:29

"The engineering of a great dream car should stand the test of time.

0:07:290:07:33

"To see which of you chose best, you'll now make a top-speed run.

0:07:330:07:37

"The car that comes closest to hitting its original top speed wins."

0:07:370:07:41

-What will this do top speed?

-Back in its day, this did 112.

0:07:410:07:45

-Wow!

-I don't believe that.

-It did 112.

-No way.

0:07:450:07:48

-This thing is way too heavy to go that fast.

-I believe 112. What does that thing do?

0:07:480:07:55

-123.

-What?!

-No, no. That's what the Pontiac did.

0:07:550:07:59

That's the Fiero speed. No way the top speed of a Ferrari 308 is 123. It's like in the 140s.

0:07:590:08:05

-144, actually.

-So you have to do 144.

-You know what? Fine!

0:08:050:08:09

I'll do 123 on my way to 144.

0:08:090:08:11

I'll do them both! Yeah.

0:08:110:08:14

-He's a bigger idiot than I thought.

-Yeah!

0:08:150:08:18

This thing, original speed, 142 miles an hour.

0:08:180:08:22

-Out of town!

-With the V12.

-With the V12. With the Chevy, it'll be even faster.

-No.

-Yeah.

0:08:220:08:27

-Adam, you're straddling the yellow line. Know what that means?

-I've no idea.

0:08:270:08:31

It means you're going first. Watch and learn, kids.

0:08:310:08:34

When you say learn, do we have to use our passenger door?

0:08:340:08:38

Shimmy on over there.

0:08:380:08:41

I'll sit over here on beauty and power.

0:08:410:08:43

Smoke the tyres!

0:08:450:08:47

-Yeah.

-Hot them up!

-Hot them up!

-It's a Rolls-Royce, you idiots!

0:08:470:08:52

-You'll have to roll the window down.

-I couldn't hear.

0:08:520:08:55

That's obscene!

0:08:550:08:57

-Look at that. Smooth as silk.

-GEARS GRATE

0:08:570:09:01

-Hear that shift?

-Difficult shift to second.

0:09:010:09:04

30... 35.

0:09:040:09:06

40.

0:09:060:09:08

He is just not very far away!

0:09:080:09:11

No need to go fast. I just look good getting there!

0:09:110:09:14

I can still read the license plate! That is sad!

0:09:140:09:17

85... And I'm running out of room to stop.

0:09:170:09:21

-Do you know the horsepower of those?

-What?

0:09:210:09:24

-"Sufficient."

-Get out!

-Swear!

0:09:240:09:26

-That didn't look like 112.

-It's not about speed, it's about looking good getting there.

0:09:290:09:35

-Hold on just a second.

-I think this whole thing was about speed.

0:09:350:09:39

-No, it says top speed.

-Right there.

-It says speed right here.

0:09:390:09:43

-85.

-Bull.

0:09:450:09:47

-I don't think you did 85.

-I did 85!

0:09:470:09:49

-Miles an hour?

-I needed room to stop.

0:09:490:09:52

-I'm up.

-You're up.

-I'm going.

0:09:520:09:54

OK. Here we go.

0:09:550:09:57

REVS ENGINE

0:09:570:09:59

Raring to go here! I'm gonna go pretty soon.

0:09:590:10:04

See you!

0:10:040:10:06

Come on, baby! That's what I'm talking about!

0:10:080:10:12

COUGHS

0:10:120:10:13

-Why does he always have to do that?

-Because he has a small penis!

0:10:130:10:17

I've got no speedometer whatsoever, but it feels like about 100.

0:10:170:10:21

142 for that car was really fast.

0:10:210:10:25

Probably about 120.

0:10:250:10:28

Jeez, he might really do it.

0:10:280:10:29

I think that's the end of the road.

0:10:290:10:32

Brakes work pretty good.

0:10:350:10:36

I'm looking for a fireball. Got anything?

0:10:360:10:39

-Hello. Sorry about the burnout there.

-Maybe a little excessive.

0:10:420:10:48

-148 miles an hour.

-You did not!

-Don't fool us. You did not.

-Yeah.

0:10:480:10:53

-Unless the speedometer's wrong.

-Does your speedometer work?

-Yeah.

0:10:530:10:57

-Oh, yeah.

-It works?

-Oh, yeah.

0:10:570:11:01

You know what? I can beat it. I can do 149.

0:11:010:11:06

-In that?!

-Yeah, 149.

-Why 149? Are you just one-upping me?

0:11:060:11:11

-Adding one number to my number?

-I picked it out of thin air.

0:11:110:11:15

-You'll be surprised.

-Real mature, one-upper. That's the slowest red car ever. You won't see triple digits.

0:11:150:11:21

That's not true.

0:11:210:11:23

-All right, Ferrari. Sorry, that was really close to your name!

-Yes!

0:11:240:11:28

Oh, this thing runs like crap.

0:11:350:11:37

Still in second gear!

0:11:370:11:38

-Shift!

-Foot is on the floor!

0:11:380:11:42

Really, really come on!

0:11:460:11:48

Do something!

0:11:480:11:50

That is depressing!

0:11:500:11:53

I'm going to have to lie!

0:12:000:12:03

-How are you?

-Real good.

0:12:070:12:09

-OK. What was your speed?

-How did you do?

0:12:090:12:11

I was going so fast, it was hard to look down.

0:12:110:12:16

40? 45?

0:12:160:12:17

55?

0:12:170:12:19

-Did you make 60?

-I didn't. I hit 55.

0:12:190:12:23

-Seriously?

-State speed limit I did not break. That's all she had.

-That's it?

0:12:230:12:27

-That is so sad!

-I'm ashamed. What a huge piece of...

0:12:270:12:33

-Thank God it looks so good. Still the best-looking car here.

-It's terrible!

0:12:330:12:37

-Let's go.

-I am happy to be climbing back into that.

0:12:370:12:42

I have the best-looking car here.

0:12:420:12:44

Buffy and Anastasia, they're all going to love this.

0:12:440:12:48

We made our way to The Hamptons for the next challenge. Which of our cars would fit in best?

0:12:500:12:56

Vineyards, money, Rolls-Royce, I am in my element right here.

0:13:000:13:04

Holy cow!

0:13:050:13:07

That is a ranch right there.

0:13:070:13:09

People with their own equestrian tracks.

0:13:090:13:12

"I think I'll take Buffy out for a ride this morning."

0:13:120:13:16

Wow, look at these houses.

0:13:160:13:19

Look at that!

0:13:210:13:23

What the hell is that?

0:13:230:13:25

When people are buying an exotic car, they're making a statement.

0:13:250:13:30

Maybe it says, "I've arrived", or "I'm fancy now."

0:13:300:13:34

This car screams, "Bravo!" And, "Yeah", all put together.

0:13:340:13:40

Adam says, "Pardon me, do you have any grave coupons?"

0:13:400:13:45

We arrived at the location for our next challenge. The ultra-exclusive Bridge Golf Club

0:13:550:14:00

where membership will cost you 750,000.

0:14:000:14:04

Rutledge's Fiero was so nervous, it wet itself.

0:14:040:14:09

"A great dream car is one people want to be seen in.

0:14:090:14:12

"To find out which of you chose the most appealing car,

0:14:120:14:16

"you will pick up and drive as many Hamptonites as you can

0:14:160:14:19

"to an event here at the Bridge Golf Club.

0:14:190:14:22

"You have one hour. Most people moved wins."

0:14:220:14:25

-Most people moved wins.

-Yes.

0:14:260:14:28

Gentlemen, this is The Hamptons. This is all about image, OK?

0:14:280:14:32

-This is an image. This is offensive.

-You know what?

0:14:320:14:37

My Ferrari is as real as the women's breasts up here!

0:14:370:14:40

-Well, that's a fair point.

-Thank you. Thank you.

0:14:400:14:44

-Are you going to tell people it's a Ferrari?

-It may not even come up.

0:14:440:14:48

We've got one hour. I'm going to prove you guys wrong. Ready?

0:14:480:14:51

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

0:14:510:14:53

-How do we know if they're Hamptonites?

-They'll be looking down on you!

0:14:530:14:57

Right.

0:14:570:14:59

Hold on, world!

0:15:010:15:03

TYRES SCREECH

0:15:030:15:07

We had been hired to chauffeur women from a beauty salon in town

0:15:070:15:12

to a gala event at the golf club.

0:15:120:15:14

Here we are, fellas!

0:15:140:15:16

-CRUNCH

-Sorry!

0:15:190:15:21

-God!

-Hi, ladies!

0:15:210:15:23

Adam and Rutledge pounced first.

0:15:230:15:26

What are you doing?

0:15:260:15:28

This is just a safety precaution.

0:15:280:15:31

-I think I smell fire coming out. Did I scare you? I'm sorry.

-No.

0:15:310:15:36

-Is the car on fire?

-I can smell it.

-That's his car.

0:15:360:15:39

What you smell is his car. Sorry. We're blocked in here.

0:15:390:15:42

Can you move that piece of crap out of the way?

0:15:420:15:45

OK. Ready?

0:15:470:15:49

Hold on. It accelerates pretty fast.

0:15:490:15:53

And...there I go.

0:15:530:15:56

What's up? Hey!

0:15:560:15:59

Ferrari 308.

0:15:590:16:02

Wheee!

0:16:020:16:03

-Ever been in a Rolls-Royce before?

-Yeah, but not one like this!

0:16:040:16:09

Yeah, she's special.

0:16:090:16:12

This is the 308, which you may recognise from Magnum P.I. Did you ever watch that show?

0:16:120:16:19

Uh, I wasn't alive.

0:16:190:16:21

OK.

0:16:220:16:24

It's a little warm in here. Can you turn on the AC?

0:16:240:16:27

Um, AC carries a lot of germs, you know?

0:16:270:16:31

-So I prefer the cross ventilation. I can go faster.

-No, we're good.

0:16:310:16:38

You know, the thing about exotic cars is they draw a lot of attention.

0:16:380:16:44

Obviously very beautiful women like yourself find the cars very attractive.

0:16:440:16:49

I'm sure that's what drew you to the car initially.

0:16:490:16:53

BANG

0:16:530:16:55

-Whoa! Sorry.

-What was that?

0:16:550:16:57

That was the car backfiring.

0:16:570:17:00

I haven't had a chance to get this into the Ferrari dealership.

0:17:000:17:05

It's hard to get... And the car's shut off. OK. I just need one...

0:17:050:17:11

-There it goes.

-Good.

-Let me just open her up a bit.

0:17:110:17:15

Yeah, there we go!

0:17:150:17:17

-I'm starting to feel really car sick because it's so warm in here.

-OK, I'll speed up.

0:17:180:17:24

No! Um, can you just pull over right here?

0:17:240:17:28

We can run in here into the ladies' room.

0:17:280:17:31

-Ladies, I have found you a rest room.

-OK, great.

0:17:310:17:36

Oh, yeah.

0:17:420:17:45

Look at that. Just hit 40!

0:17:450:17:48

The king of the road, we established, is the Jag.

0:17:540:17:57

-How did you establish that?

-In our top speed tests.

-We had one challenge!

0:17:570:18:01

It still shows what you can get for five grand.

0:18:010:18:04

But if you had a bit more to spend, you could buy a real dream car

0:18:040:18:08

like this GT3 RS.

0:18:080:18:10

It's absolutely stunning. But Porsche has come out with an even faster car

0:18:120:18:16

and guess who got to drive it?

0:18:160:18:19

This is the fastest, most powerful production Porsche ever.

0:18:230:18:28

In development, Porsche's engineers, who don't overstate things,

0:18:280:18:32

code-named it The Beast.

0:18:320:18:35

This is the 911 GT2 RS.

0:18:370:18:40

GT2 RS, over 620 horsepower,

0:18:470:18:51

205 miles an hour. 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds.

0:18:510:18:56

It eats the asphalt, just devours it.

0:18:580:19:01

To get these figures, Porsche had to cut weight drastically.

0:19:050:19:09

So they got out the axe and made the GT2 RS just over 3,000lbs.

0:19:090:19:15

An astonishing 400lbs lighter than the next model down,

0:19:150:19:19

the 911 Turbo.

0:19:190:19:22

They lost the rear seats, the all-wheel drive went out the window

0:19:220:19:26

and even the metal badge on this carbon fibre hood became a sticker.

0:19:260:19:32

Even though this car started out as a mechanic's pipe dream,

0:19:320:19:36

eventually 80,000 engineering hours and nearly half a million miles of testing

0:19:360:19:42

were invested in it.

0:19:420:19:44

If you want to buy the GT2 RS,

0:19:460:19:48

it'll cost you a cool 245 grand,

0:19:480:19:51

but you're too late.

0:19:510:19:53

Porsche will only make 500, and they've already sold the lot.

0:19:530:19:56

As with all 911s, the engine is buried in the rear, a legacy of the VW Beetle it's derived from.

0:19:590:20:04

It's a key to its high-strung handling.

0:20:040:20:07

This is a good old-fashioned beast that could get you into real trouble.

0:20:070:20:12

The remarkable thing about Porsches, especially the 911, is that if you take it easy,

0:20:180:20:23

you could even call it practical.

0:20:230:20:26

It's got pretty good storage space. There's a lot of room up-front.

0:20:260:20:30

The visibility is second to none

0:20:310:20:33

and this 911 is as comfortable sitting in traffic as it is shredding up a mountain road.

0:20:330:20:39

You can't say that about too many cars in the 200-mph club.

0:20:390:20:43

So the Porsche 911 GT2 RS could be the world's fastest car

0:20:430:20:49

that you could legitimately take shopping.

0:20:490:20:52

Porsche have always made cars with a split personality.

0:20:530:20:57

I'd met the practical shopping car. Now I wanted the raging, snarling beast to bite me,

0:20:580:21:04

fling me from the track in a red mist of rage.

0:21:040:21:08

A car like this is undeniably built to test your moxy as a driver.

0:21:140:21:21

That's right, I said it. Moxy.

0:21:210:21:24

I will say that this does not feel like 620 horsepower.

0:21:260:21:32

I expected so much more drama from this car. I expected to be scared.

0:21:320:21:38

This was bugging me. Where was the beast?

0:21:400:21:44

Something was wrong here.

0:21:440:21:46

Maybe in trying to create a practical supercar, Porsche had grabbed the beast...

0:21:460:21:52

..and cut off its horns.

0:21:530:21:55

So I called Porsche...

0:22:030:22:06

..and they had an answer.

0:22:070:22:09

The surface temperature is now reading 161 degrees.

0:22:090:22:14

That is really bad for a turbo-charged engine.

0:22:140:22:18

They're extracting a bit more out of the same amount of fuel

0:22:180:22:22

and when you have hot air, it basically wants to combust

0:22:220:22:25

before the spark even lights.

0:22:250:22:28

A car can lose as much as 70 to 80 horsepower

0:22:280:22:31

just in temperature swing.

0:22:310:22:33

So, if I was going to unleash this beast inside the GT2 RS,

0:22:330:22:38

I'd have to take a journey to one place you can escape the California desert heat.

0:22:380:22:43

A far-away place called...night.

0:22:440:22:48

12.00am. Downtown Los Angeles.

0:23:030:23:06

Temperature, 60 degrees.

0:23:100:23:12

Welcome to Beesenville.

0:23:130:23:16

Sun's gone down. Entering the city.

0:23:160:23:20

All this light to light business is not what you think the GT2 RS was designed for.

0:23:200:23:27

And I would agree with you.

0:23:270:23:29

Unless, of course, you had a fleet of officers there

0:23:320:23:35

whose sole purpose was to close these streets down for your enjoyment!

0:23:350:23:42

This is for you. It's not for me.

0:23:420:23:44

I'm barely even going to enjoy this.

0:23:440:23:47

SIRENS BLARE

0:23:510:23:52

It is awesome!

0:23:590:24:01

TYRES SCREECH

0:24:010:24:03

Now that the cold air is out, this thing is back to being a beast!

0:24:050:24:11

As I raced through tunnels and dark avenues,

0:24:330:24:36

I finally discovered what this car was really about.

0:24:360:24:41

Yeah!

0:24:510:24:53

That is what I am talking about!

0:24:530:24:55

Jesus!

0:25:010:25:02

It's like a dream come true. Ground rush from the kerbs, the lights, the poles,

0:25:060:25:11

everything is ridiculous!

0:25:110:25:14

Looked like I wasn't the only beast out hunting.

0:25:170:25:20

Rivals.

0:25:210:25:22

Looks like we have the inevitable California competition at the light.

0:25:220:25:27

And this was serious competition.

0:25:270:25:29

A 500-horsepower classic '69 Chevy Nova, one of the great muscle cars.

0:25:290:25:36

And an American legend, a 2009 Dodge Viper SRT 10.

0:25:360:25:40

Zero to 60 in under 3.6 seconds.

0:25:400:25:43

Both had the muscle to send the Porsche packing.

0:25:430:25:46

Not surprisingly, the Porsche whipped the competition.

0:26:120:26:15

And that Nova sounded serious, too.

0:26:150:26:18

The beast inside the GT2 RS was sated.

0:26:350:26:39

And so was I.

0:26:390:26:42

This car had finally lived up to its fearsome reputation.

0:26:420:26:47

In its 45-year run, there really hasn't been a bad 911.

0:26:480:26:54

You can't say that about Corvette, Lamborghini or Ferrari.

0:26:540:26:57

There's a temptation to call this one the latest, greatest and fastest ever.

0:26:570:27:03

The ultimate 911. It's found a perfect balance between a liveable supercar

0:27:030:27:08

and the ultimate driving utensil.

0:27:080:27:11

But then again, that's what we thought about the last 911.

0:27:110:27:15

We're on a drive from New Jersey to The Hamptons

0:27:220:27:24

to find out how much luxury you can get for just five grand.

0:27:240:27:28

-Some of us are doing better than others.

-Oh?

0:27:280:27:31

At least the girls got into my car!

0:27:310:27:34

Unless these girls need their teeth cleaned, no-one wanted to get into your creepy dentist chair!

0:27:340:27:40

I did get off to a slow start, but things started to look up.

0:27:400:27:44

I was first to deliver my posh local to the event.

0:27:460:27:50

Adam hadn't been so lucky. His girls had walked off and left him half way!

0:27:500:27:55

And Tanner had only just started.

0:27:590:28:01

I'm your ride. Don't mean to rush you. Just running a bit late.

0:28:010:28:05

OK. All right, we're out of here!

0:28:090:28:13

-Wow. Is this is a real Ferrari?

-It says Ferrari right up there.

0:28:170:28:21

Here we go!

0:28:220:28:24

My friend has a car like this.

0:28:240:28:26

-This is really different.

-This is all custom.

0:28:260:28:29

A Rolls-Royce for two beautiful ladies.

0:28:290:28:33

We're off.

0:28:330:28:34

I'm glad you got into my car. Not many people climb straight into the Jag.

0:28:380:28:44

It can be intimidating because of its raw power.

0:28:440:28:48

Getting a little hard to shift in here. I might have to check... Oh, boy!

0:28:480:28:55

Sorry, just let me... Yeah, there it went.

0:28:550:29:00

-Is that smoke?

-Smoke?

-Yeah.

0:29:000:29:03

Yeah, it's like a dusty kind of smoke. Watch, if we speed up, it goes away.

0:29:030:29:09

It'll be gone in a minute.

0:29:090:29:12

-It's a V8, right?

-Right. Do you want to feel the thunder?

0:29:120:29:15

Oh, yeah!

0:29:150:29:17

-It's surprisingly fast, right?

-How much is this car?

0:29:190:29:23

Thank you so much. Hope you have a wonderful time. Nice to meet you!

0:29:230:29:27

So you were only interested in your relationship for two years?

0:29:270:29:31

Then you were getting out of it for nearly two?

0:29:310:29:34

-Yes, pretty much.

-Good gosh!

0:29:340:29:38

-Are you a Gemini?

-Close.

-Taurus?

-Taurus.

0:29:390:29:43

Oh, you feel that power?

0:29:430:29:45

Um, is this really a Ferrari?

0:29:450:29:49

Here we are, ladies.

0:29:510:29:53

-I'll get the door!

-No.

-Let me let you out.

0:29:530:29:56

No, no.

0:29:560:29:57

Thank you!

0:29:590:30:01

The hour was up, and I only managed to deliver two girls

0:30:010:30:05

but surely Ruts's pseudo supercar couldn't have done better?

0:30:050:30:08

-How you doing?

-Fantastic.

-Is she still alive or did she die from fumes?

0:30:100:30:15

-She loves the Ferrari. I'll get that.

-How does she feel about the Pontiac?

0:30:150:30:19

-There you go. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful time. So nice to meet you.

-Thank you.

0:30:200:30:27

-Oh, look!

-It's the XJ moron. Wow.

0:30:270:30:31

There's a girl driving Taylor's car!

0:30:310:30:34

-..so am I.

-It's going to be...

-What is he doing?

0:30:340:30:36

Oh, gosh! There you go.

0:30:360:30:39

Your sister's wedding? How much fun is that?

0:30:410:30:44

I had no idea a car could go sideways!

0:30:440:30:47

Remember, this one's mine. You can't have it. Yep.

0:30:510:30:55

Thank you for the drive. Wonderful driver.

0:30:550:30:57

-Thank you.

-Really good girl.

0:30:570:31:00

Why was she driving your car?

0:31:000:31:03

-She wanted to buy it because it is so awesome.

-Oh, stop it!

0:31:030:31:07

She totally dug the thing from the moment she saw it. And the V8, everything.

0:31:070:31:11

-Is that a hickey?

-No, it's not a hickey!

0:31:110:31:13

What are you talking about? People don't get hickeys any more.

0:31:130:31:17

Anyway, are we going back at it again or what?

0:31:180:31:21

-Round Two, baby.

-That's it.

-How many did you get?

-That's the hour.

0:31:210:31:25

-It has not been...

-It has.

-Is that the only girl in one hour?

-You got one.

0:31:250:31:31

Now it's time for something we call Big Star, Small Car.

0:31:330:31:37

We take a celebrity, put him in our small car

0:31:370:31:39

and let him rip up our track to see how can set the fastest lap time.

0:31:390:31:43

Our celebrity today is from Torchwood. Welcome, Arlene Tur.

0:31:430:31:48

-Thank you.

-Ready?

0:31:500:31:52

Yeah, I'm ready, but are you ready?

0:31:520:31:55

I'm fine. I'll take all these guys into the hangar.

0:31:550:31:58

What kind of driver are you? Conservative? Are you composed behind the wheel?

0:31:580:32:03

Extremely composed. All the time.

0:32:030:32:06

-OK.

-Nobody has anything to worry about.

-OK, great.

0:32:060:32:09

-We'll see you after your lap.

-OK.

-Go get 'em!

0:32:090:32:12

-Here we go.

-Terrible start!

0:32:190:32:22

Not getting on with that stick.

0:32:230:32:25

Unbelievable.

0:32:250:32:27

-She is flying through that first turn.

-Woo!

0:32:270:32:31

Woo-woo-woo-woo!

0:32:310:32:33

She's happy about it!

0:32:330:32:35

She's coming into the tear drop.

0:32:370:32:40

Moving at a pretty good speed. You have to be careful here. See how she does.

0:32:400:32:44

SPEAKS IN CUBAN SPANISH

0:32:460:32:49

Which means, "I'm having a lovely time on Top Gear. Thanks for inviting me, Gringo."

0:32:490:32:54

-#

-Un pocito mas, un pocito meno

0:32:540:32:58

-#

-La-la-la-la-la-la.

-#

0:32:580:33:00

Hug it. Hug it, hug it, hug it.

0:33:000:33:04

Nice and close past the tyres. Pretty good speed.

0:33:040:33:07

The track is a little moist, which makes it more grippier.

0:33:070:33:10

Slow down.

0:33:110:33:13

Where am I going?

0:33:130:33:15

GPS is busted in the car as well. She's still pretty good. This is the roughest part of the track.

0:33:150:33:21

She's not on the brakes at all!

0:33:210:33:23

Nice!

0:33:230:33:25

What? What? I'm a race car driver, Momma!

0:33:250:33:29

I'm a race car... Uh-oh!

0:33:290:33:30

TYRES SCREECH

0:33:300:33:33

And across the flag! She hit the flag!

0:33:330:33:36

Oh, that's great!

0:33:360:33:39

Arlene, come on up!

0:33:500:33:52

Arlene Tur!

0:33:530:33:54

-You did so good!

-Oh, no!

-Have a seat.

0:33:560:34:00

Did you have fun?

0:34:040:34:06

I had so much fun!

0:34:080:34:11

-You hit...

-No.

-..two cones...

0:34:110:34:13

-Two only?

-You broke a camera.

0:34:130:34:15

-What?!

-You scared a cameraman.

0:34:150:34:19

-And you did something. You broke the flag. You hit the flag when you came in.

-No!

0:34:190:34:25

You actually hit the flag!

0:34:250:34:27

-I have to tell you...

-Where can I hide?

-You're pretty much put your foot down and hold on.

0:34:270:34:33

I told you I was very composed.

0:34:330:34:35

-So I had to let it rip.

-I'm glad you let it out here, cos you're going to kill somebody!

0:34:350:34:40

I know. I've never been told I could go as fast as I wanted. So...

0:34:400:34:46

-You don't go fast on the roads. That's responsible. What's your daily drive?

-A Jeep Wrangler.

0:34:460:34:51

Extended back, looks like a pick-up truck.

0:34:510:34:54

-Sweet. I love it.

-This segment is all about dream cars.

0:34:540:34:57

What would be your dream car?

0:34:570:35:00

-Ooh, I have a couple.

-Good.

-The Shelby Cobra is a favourite.

0:35:000:35:05

-Excellent choice.

-I would say vino, wine, with the pearl stripes.

0:35:050:35:10

-You have it all picked out.

-I don't care if it's a kit car!

0:35:100:35:13

-OK.

-Doesn't have to be the really expensive one

0:35:130:35:17

-because I also want the Mercedes G-wagen.

-G-wagen.

-Cabriole. The convertible.

-OK.

0:35:170:35:23

A man's picking you up for a date. Is there any car where you'd go, "Hell, no!"

0:35:230:35:27

-No, not really.

-A Dodge Caliber?

-No.

-What about an '83 Civic Wagon?

0:35:270:35:34

-No. It's the guy that pulls up, not the car.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-I don't believe it.

-What?

0:35:340:35:39

-A guy pulls up in a Pontiac Aztec? You're going to be like...

-No,

0:35:390:35:44

that's not right. I disagree with that. I don't care about the Aztec.

0:35:440:35:48

All right. Tell me about Torchwood.

0:35:480:35:51

-Death doesn't work in Torchwood? They tried to explain it.

-This season it's called Miracle Day.

0:35:510:35:56

Something happens where everyone stops dying. There's going to be over-population.

0:35:560:36:02

It's how Torchwood, the CIA, the government, everyone deals with the question of immortality.

0:36:020:36:08

On the show, what's your character?

0:36:080:36:10

I play a cardiothoracic surgeon.

0:36:100:36:13

-So you're a surgeon that saves people's lives that don't die.

-Exactly!

0:36:130:36:18

Nobody's dying, but everybody's still getting hurt.

0:36:180:36:22

Pain still exists and there's over-population, not enough resources or staff. So...

0:36:220:36:28

-It's the house I grew up in!

-Pretty much!

0:36:280:36:32

I have to ask, what did you think of our Suzuki?

0:36:320:36:34

Oh, it's nice. I didn't know I could take it that fast on the corners! I really...

0:36:340:36:40

I like your style. We have the same style.

0:36:400:36:43

-How do you think you did?

-Terrible!

-Terrible?

0:36:430:36:45

I think I did terrible because I've never trained. I didn't know when to brake.

0:36:450:36:52

I had the clutch in probably the whole time I was driving.

0:36:520:36:55

-Right.

-So I'm thinking I'm right under Buzz.

0:36:550:37:00

It's the happiest he'd ever be in his life!

0:37:000:37:04

You're so bad!

0:37:070:37:09

-Did you give it your best, I want to know.

-No.

0:37:100:37:13

-No?

-I mean I need more time on the track.

0:37:130:37:16

-So more time, you could have done better?

-Of course.

0:37:160:37:19

To be honest, I don't think you could have done any better.

0:37:190:37:22

-What? Why?

-Because you did it in one...forty...

-What?

0:37:220:37:27

What?!

0:37:270:37:29

..two...

0:37:290:37:31

What?!

0:37:320:37:33

-..point four.

-Liar!

0:37:330:37:35

1:42.4.

0:37:350:37:37

-Look at that. Know what that means?

-I won!

0:37:370:37:40

-That means...

-I won! I won!

0:37:400:37:43

I won! I won!

0:37:430:37:45

-You won!

-I won! I won!

0:37:450:37:47

I won! I won! I won!

0:37:470:37:50

-How did I do that?

-You can see!

0:37:500:37:52

Arlene Tur!

0:37:520:37:55

-How did I do that?

-Cos you were great!

0:37:590:38:02

That's crazy!

0:38:020:38:04

That doesn't mean I'm good. It just means they weren't that daring.

0:38:050:38:09

-That's great.

-It's crazy.

-So your dream car is a Suzuki!

0:38:090:38:15

My dream car is a Suzuki. A red Suzuki!

0:38:150:38:18

Ours or not, our dream cars look like this.

0:38:180:38:23

Our discount luxury cars have been living the high life in The Hamptons.

0:38:230:38:27

But now it was time to bring them home.

0:38:270:38:30

To Jersey City, New Jersey, for their final challenge.

0:38:320:38:35

After winning the chauffeuring challenge, it was one-all for me and Tanner.

0:38:350:38:40

Adam had to win here to salvage a tie.

0:38:400:38:42

What kind of place is this?

0:38:420:38:43

It's a metal recycling plant.

0:38:430:38:46

-Really?

-Basically a mortuary for cars.

0:38:460:38:48

-Wow.

-It is the site of our next challenge.

0:38:480:38:52

"Dream cars cost serious money.

0:38:530:38:55

"For that, your expectations are that you'll get serious engineering and build quality.

0:38:550:39:00

"To see which of your cars was built best, they'll be placed under an electromagnet.

0:39:000:39:05

"The fewest parts lost wins."

0:39:050:39:08

-Why are you smiling?

-Oh, your car's fibreglass! You won't lose anything!

0:39:100:39:15

-My car's fibreglass!

-You could lose the engine. Everything else.

0:39:150:39:19

-Your car weighs 5,000lbs?

-Close to it, yes.

-All steel.

0:39:190:39:24

-This thing weighs what?

-4,000lbs?

-All steel.

0:39:240:39:28

Mine, 2,900, mostly fibreglass.

0:39:280:39:32

OK. The quality of these cars is what will keep them together.

0:39:320:39:36

This was a challenge made for my Rolls.

0:39:360:39:39

Here was my chance to get back in the game.

0:39:390:39:41

-Right. I'm ready.

-Sure about this?

-Positive.

0:39:410:39:45

-OK. Let's do this.

-Not worried?

-Not at all.

0:39:450:39:48

-Come on, magnet!

-See the hood moving.

-The hood's fine.

0:39:480:39:52

-Come on down!

-Watch the windshield.

0:39:520:39:55

-Come on down!

-Don't break the windshield!

0:39:550:39:58

-Ha-ha!

-Come on down with that thing!

-Oh, man!

0:39:580:40:01

-See that, gentlemen? Quality.

-He's going for the trunk.

0:40:010:40:05

Bring it down. Bring it down!

0:40:050:40:07

Oh, yes!

0:40:080:40:10

-Oh, look at that!

-OK, that's good, guys. Don't scratch it!

-Goodness me!

0:40:120:40:16

-That's your jack!

-That doesn't count. It's an accessory.

0:40:160:40:21

-That's build quality, all right.

-Quality.

0:40:210:40:23

My Rolls put up a good fight. Now was time for the bearded boy in the plastic Pontiac.

0:40:230:40:28

She's ready!

0:40:280:40:31

-Something's got to be loose. Cover up.

-OK.

0:40:340:40:36

-Is that going to help?

-A little lower. That's good.

-Keep it coming.

0:40:360:40:41

Perfect. Don't change a thing.

0:40:410:40:44

-Plenty of room.

-That's good. That's fine there. That's good.

0:40:440:40:48

-Here we go.

-Look at this!

0:40:480:40:50

-Look at that quality.

-I don't think it's on. Hold on.

0:40:500:40:54

You don't think it's on?!

0:40:540:40:56

Whoa!

0:40:570:40:58

-Yes!

-Well, it's on.

0:40:580:41:01

That means your car is so cheap it doesn't have enough metal in it

0:41:010:41:05

to react to a magnet.

0:41:050:41:07

Garbage. Get it out of there.

0:41:070:41:08

At last it was Tanner's turn to put his Jaguar XJ crap under the magnet.

0:41:080:41:13

Come on, come on!

0:41:130:41:15

-If he won this, he'd take the title.

-No problem.

0:41:150:41:19

Hand-made.

0:41:190:41:21

Right. Bring it over!

0:41:210:41:22

-I'm pretty nervous, to be honest.

-You should be. Turn that thing on.

0:41:260:41:30

-It's on now.

-You can hear it.

-Go easy.

0:41:300:41:34

Just ripped it off the hinges!

0:41:390:41:42

I think we're done here.

0:41:430:41:44

Does that count as one part?

0:41:490:41:51

Totally scratched it up. Come on, now. It's not funny.

0:41:530:41:58

-This counts as one.

-No, two.

0:41:580:42:00

-Two wipers. Wipers.

-This is three.

0:42:000:42:03

That's three.

0:42:030:42:05

I'm taking my car and I'm leaving.

0:42:050:42:08

I'll just wait here. Nothing fell off mine.

0:42:080:42:12

Ladies and gentlemen, my Ferrari!

0:42:140:42:17

Thank you. She is a thing of beauty.

0:42:180:42:22

Please stop insulting these people. Tell them what it really is.

0:42:220:42:26

It's a 308 P.O.S.

0:42:260:42:28

It's a winner, I know that much.

0:42:280:42:31

A winner? The last challenge was ridiculous! It won because it's made of plastic!

0:42:310:42:36

I could have showed up on a big wheel and won.

0:42:360:42:40

So you should have shown up on a big wheel and won!

0:42:400:42:42

Yeah, with this Ferrari racing suspension! Look at this!

0:42:420:42:47

Good gosh. All right. On that note, that's all we've got.

0:42:470:42:51

See you next time. Thanks for watching.

0:42:510:42:53

It was only 5,000 bucks!
