0:00:11 > 0:00:13'Tonight, I speak German...'

0:00:13 > 0:00:14Vorsprung durch!

0:00:14 > 0:00:16GERMAN ACCENT: '..the German speaks English...'

0:00:16 > 0:00:19- Go out, go out, go out! - HE RETCHES

0:00:19 > 0:00:22'..and Matt takes a tour of London with superstar wheel man Ken Block.'

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Oh! Westminster Bridge!

0:00:24 > 0:00:26TYRES SCREECH

0:00:32 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hello, and welcome to Top Gear.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is it, the wait is over. Tonight is the night.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Yes, the night where more cars go sideways

0:00:49 > 0:00:51than ever before on Top Gear.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55No, no. No, that's not what I'm talking about. No.

0:00:55 > 0:01:00I'm talking about you guys finally getting to see Chris

0:01:00 > 0:01:02enjoy his breakfast twice.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05LAUGHTER

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Once on the way down and once again on the way back up.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Can we just get this over with, please?

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Sure, yeah. Let's roll the Audi R8 film.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Here is the brand-new R8 2.0,

0:01:20 > 0:01:22and it's gunning for the big boys.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Cost - £135,000.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Engine - the V10 from the Lamborghini Huracan.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Horsepower - over 600.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44And there's no cheaty turbo charging here,

0:01:44 > 0:01:49which means you can rev this engine all the way to 8,700 rpm.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Even the slightest tickle of that accelerator delivers all that power

0:01:56 > 0:01:58right to the back of your head.

0:02:00 > 0:02:030-60 in 3.2 seconds.

0:02:03 > 0:02:08And she will not run out of puff until she hits 205mph,

0:02:08 > 0:02:10which makes her the fastest, most powerful,

0:02:10 > 0:02:13road going Audi of all time.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Vorsprung durch. Have some of that!

0:02:21 > 0:02:24The engine might be supercar old school,

0:02:24 > 0:02:26but everything else about the R8 is

0:02:26 > 0:02:29reassuringly state-of-the-art.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35There's aluminium and carbon fibre all over the shop,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39which makes it a bit lighter, but a lot stiffer than before.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42And as far as looks go, it's completely an R8 still, obviously.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47However, it's just subtly so much sharper and better sculpted,

0:02:47 > 0:02:51miles better looking. I love it.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Physical dials? No chance.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59The entire dash is a high-def widescreen telly

0:02:59 > 0:03:01that can be configured as you desire.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06And then there's the stuff you can't see.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Under your fingertips here is a seven-speed, twin-clutch gearbox,

0:03:10 > 0:03:14changing gear faster than you can say, "Does it come in manual?"

0:03:14 > 0:03:15ENGINE REVS

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Which it doesn't, by the way.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22And because it's a bonkers fast Audi,

0:03:22 > 0:03:25naturally it has to have four-wheel drive.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28This, though, is especially clever four-wheel drive

0:03:28 > 0:03:32which can shove 100% of the engine's power front or back

0:03:32 > 0:03:35depending on which end wants it most.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Every single second this R8 is making a gazillion calculations

0:03:40 > 0:03:43based on information drawn from hundreds of sensors

0:03:43 > 0:03:48that help it to decide exactly where to push and what to shove.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55One of the results of which is that it grips so well through the corners

0:03:55 > 0:03:59your internal organs will have to apologise to each other

0:03:59 > 0:04:00quite a lot.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Here we go again.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, the R8 will change gear for you.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14It will alter the suspension stiffness

0:04:14 > 0:04:17and steering response for you.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19It will decide how to divvy up the power for you.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22ALL to give you the optimum performance.

0:04:22 > 0:04:27There's no doubt that the R8 is a brilliant car.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29An amazing bit of kit,

0:04:29 > 0:04:36but is it just a bit too friendly to be a genuine supercar?

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Or does it have a dark side?

0:04:39 > 0:04:43To test whether the Audi computers have removed the V10's venom,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45we've come to one of the most extreme,

0:04:45 > 0:04:49intimidating race circuits on the planet.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Laguna Seca.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Home to the infamous Corkscrew.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02A high-speed descending helter skelter over a blind crest

0:05:02 > 0:05:05that throws you into a sheer 30-metre drop.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Clearly there was only one person in Top Gear's arsenal

0:05:11 > 0:05:12to take to the wheel.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Sabine Schmitz.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Sab...- Hm?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21How about a challenge?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Challenge? What do you mean?

0:05:23 > 0:05:29- Your brain versus Audi's brain. Two flying laps.- Mm-hm.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31First lap, the car's in control.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34All the computers, all the race aids on, gearbox in automatic.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- You're just a driving monkey. OK?- Yeah, OK.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Second lap,

0:05:39 > 0:05:43you're in charge of everything, gearbox in manual.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Sabine versus the machine. - Oh, cool.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Let's go.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57'First lap, dynamic mode.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00'That means all of the R8's driver's aids are on -

0:06:00 > 0:06:04'launch control, dynamic steering, track spec damping

0:06:04 > 0:06:05'and traction control,

0:06:05 > 0:06:09'faster throttle response and a quicker gear change.'

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Three, two, one. Go!

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'm just a monkey behind the wheel!

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I do nothing!

0:06:19 > 0:06:22It's shifting itself.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24HE SCREAMS

0:06:24 > 0:06:25Whoo!

0:06:27 > 0:06:28Corner number three.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32No gear shift at all.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34HE SCREAMS

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Are you still there?

0:06:35 > 0:06:38We're going on the hill. Corkscrew!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40THEY CHEER

0:06:40 > 0:06:41That was fun.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46The car has everything under control.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Coming to the final bend.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh, baby!

0:06:51 > 0:06:52Home straight.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Oh, slow down, Sabine, please.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58You need some fresh air?

0:06:58 > 0:06:59- Oh,- BLEEP.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01BLEEP.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05'After putting a few pounds in the swear jar it was time for lap two.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09'This time, all driver's aids off.'

0:07:09 > 0:07:11OK, 1.46.78 to beat.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Can Sabine beat the Audi machine?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16In three, two, one. Go!

0:07:21 > 0:07:24This is the real deal now.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Hairpin bend.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Go on, Sabine.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Feels better from a passenger point of view, if that matters.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yes, corner number three.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Going well.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yeah!

0:07:37 > 0:07:38Come on, Sabine.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Yeah!

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Feels smoother.- Good traction.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Up the hill. Come on.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50All you can see is sky!

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, much quicker into the Corkscrew this time.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57SABINE CHEERS

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Hold on tight to your balls, sonny!

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Ah!- Hey!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06My stomach wants a divorce.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08SABINE CHEERS

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Two more corners left.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13This is great stuff. Yes!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Very late breaking into the last corner.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Come on, Sabine.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21You can do it. Sideways into the home straight.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24HE COUGHS

0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Go on, Sabine. - Here is the finish line.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Whoo!

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Stop! Stop! Stop!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Stop! Please, stop!

0:08:36 > 0:08:38HE RETCHES

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Go out, go out, go out!

0:08:40 > 0:08:42HE RETCHES

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Why is it red?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Strawberries. For breakfast.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53APPLAUSE

0:08:57 > 0:09:02The new Audi R8 and Sabine Schmitz, everyone!

0:09:02 > 0:09:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:05 > 0:09:11Who did beat the machine by seven seconds. Seven seconds.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yeah! Thank you very much.

0:09:16 > 0:09:21So, Sabine, the Audi R8 V10 Plus, Audi's fastest road car ever.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23A hit or a miss?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I like the suspension, I like the response of the steering wheel,

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I like the power and the brakes. Everything perfect.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I have a little problem with all that technics inside,

0:09:31 > 0:09:33you know the computer stuff.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Doesn't work so easy, you really have to think about it,

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- what you're doing. - So, thumbs up?- Thumbs up.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I love it, but I'm not so sure about strawberry boy.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43LAUGHTER

0:09:43 > 0:09:44I'm not here.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49OK. Didn't say you were.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Now it's time to hand the R8 over to our tame racing driver.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Some say...

0:09:54 > 0:09:57es ist der Mann der auch ein Rennfahrer ist.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58LAUGHTER

0:09:58 > 0:10:03Er hat zwei...Fuchse!

0:10:03 > 0:10:04LAUGHTER

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Oh, it gets me every time. I tell you.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- OK, all we know is he's called...- EVERYONE: ..the Stig!

0:10:12 > 0:10:13APPLAUSE

0:10:13 > 0:10:15All right. Let's do this.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Off the line, the Audi R8 V10 Plus.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Italian heart, German suit.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Stig, with all the computers firmly switched off,

0:10:22 > 0:10:24just like Sabine, of course.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Up to the first corner and that's very, very tidy,

0:10:26 > 0:10:27nip and tuck from the Stig.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Stealthy focus, focus stealthy.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Immaculate through Chicago.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh, so precise. Oh, so accurate.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Very Teutonic.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39Into Hammerhead now.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Will there be any oversteer whatsoever?

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Of course there won't.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46The R8's four-wheel drive system keeping everything

0:10:46 > 0:10:48pointed in the right direction.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Time to open up the taps now and step on that gas.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Up to the tyre wall, then.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Bit of a slide on the exit there.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Second-to-last corner.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Stig stamping on those carbon ceramic brakes.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Still no dramas. Why would there be?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Round Gambon clean as a choirboy's conscience

0:11:09 > 0:11:11and across the line.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:15 > 0:11:18So, we have the car here and we have the time here.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21The Audi R8 V10 Plus, basically a Lamborghini Huracan

0:11:21 > 0:11:24dressed for dinner as opposed to ragging it around the track,

0:11:24 > 0:11:25so, it should be pretty close.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27There's the Lamborghini Huracan at 1.15.8.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30And it is... 1.15.7.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31There they are.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Happy together.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36APPLAUSE

0:11:36 > 0:11:38OK. OK.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Now, here's the film that's made all of us the most jealous,

0:11:42 > 0:11:44because we didn't get to make it.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Driving the new Ferrari F12 tdf, it's that damn Chris Harris.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Hate that guy.- Yeah. - LAUGHTER

0:11:53 > 0:11:55DISTANT ACCELERATION

0:11:55 > 0:11:57RELAXING CLASSICAL MUSIC

0:12:11 > 0:12:17This is the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Tour de France.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's a car named after the legendary race.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23No, not that one.

0:12:23 > 0:12:24The other one.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28The Tour de France Automobile.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34They called it the toughest car race in history.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36An entire lap of France.

0:12:36 > 0:12:424,000-odd gruelling miles over ten days on road, track and dirt.

0:12:42 > 0:12:47The Tour de France made the Le Mans 24 Hours look like a Sunday fun run.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52It ran for nearly a century,

0:12:52 > 0:12:55but its glory days were the end of the 1950s,

0:12:55 > 0:12:58where this Ferrari 250 Tour de France cleaned up,

0:12:58 > 0:13:00winning every year it competed.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05Only 77 were ever made and this one is worth £5 million.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10They were easy to drive long-distance.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12They were reliable.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13But they were also quick.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16This one can do 160mph.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Which is thanks to a three-litre V12 producing 250 horsepower.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Which, by 1950s' standards, was a lot.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31What's it like into this hairpin?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Second. Heel and toe. First.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Wow!

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Bit of understeer.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37Get on the gas early.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Grab second.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Listen to the noise!

0:13:40 > 0:13:41ENGINE ROARS

0:13:43 > 0:13:44My first day in the job.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49Can't believe they've given me a £5 million Ferrari to throw around.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Wouldn't make the best introduction to the BBC insurance department, would it?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55"Hi. Yeah, Chris here. New bloke."

0:13:58 > 0:14:00The Tour de France race didn't just run on road.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03They'd also stop off for a blast around any track

0:14:03 > 0:14:05they found along the way.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Tracks like this one.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Circuit Paul Ricard.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Fast...

0:14:17 > 0:14:18..technical...

0:14:20 > 0:14:22..and boasting one of the longest straights of any

0:14:22 > 0:14:23track on the planet.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Just the place, then, to let the old girl off the leash.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32My first chance to open it up.

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Yes.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Doesn't get any better.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39That engine, that gearbox.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45It's really hard not to imagine yourself as some

0:14:45 > 0:14:46gentleman racer from the late '50s.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49What a life to lead.

0:14:51 > 0:14:52Whoa, bit of oversteer.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59So good was the 250 TDF that when it reached racing retirement...

0:15:00 > 0:15:02..Ferrari retired its name too.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11Now, 50 years later, the Tour de France is back.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Whoa-ho-ho, ho-ho!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Welcome to the Ferrari F12 tdf.

0:15:24 > 0:15:30770 bhp of brain-melting V12...

0:15:31 > 0:15:32..fury.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42The basic recipe is the same as the TDF from the '50s.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46A normally aspirated V12 up front, motivation from the back.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48But this is another world.

0:15:51 > 0:15:52OK.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54This isn't officially called the Tour de France,

0:15:54 > 0:15:57because those pesky men in Lycra now own the full name.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00So, tdf lower case it is.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07What Ferrari's done here, basically, is take the F12 and sharpened it.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09More power.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Less weight.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13A pretty standard recipe for going quicker.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17But taking a car as savage as the Ferrari F12 and making it

0:16:17 > 0:16:22sharper is like taking a hydrogen bomb and making it more explode-y.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27It is bonkers fast.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Nought to 60 in under three seconds.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Top speed 211mph.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41But the tdf isn't really about speed.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45It's about downforce.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47The dark art of gluing a car to the ground

0:16:47 > 0:16:49through the power of air alone.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53It's not pretty, but it's all functional.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55This big mouth gulps in the air,

0:16:55 > 0:16:58then extracts it through this nostril, then in again into this

0:16:58 > 0:17:02intake here, where it gets accelerated down the side of the car.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04And these gills are fully functional,

0:17:04 > 0:17:06cos they reduce the pressure in that wheel arch.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09And then everything gets kicked over this new rear spoiler

0:17:09 > 0:17:11and there are even flaps down there underneath that are just

0:17:11 > 0:17:13to give you more downforce but, of course,

0:17:13 > 0:17:16it's also an excuse for some beautiful details.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Everything's carbon and little bits that stick out everywhere.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25This car also has something Ferrari calls "passo corto virtuale".

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Where the tdf's rear wheels turn slightly in the opposite

0:17:29 > 0:17:31direction to its fronts.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34They say this makes cornering more nimble.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38I say more scary.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39TYRES SCREECH

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Ferrari said it created this car to be challenging,

0:17:45 > 0:17:47to be a bit of an animal.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50And, by George, it is.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm using about a quarter throttle here in third gear

0:17:56 > 0:17:59and I'm completely sideways.

0:17:59 > 0:18:00TYRES SCREECH

0:18:00 > 0:18:02I don't think I have driven a car that wants

0:18:02 > 0:18:03to oversteer more readily.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10That was 90mph.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12And I absolutely love it.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15It's a difficult car to control,

0:18:15 > 0:18:17but would you want it any other way?

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Should Ferrari make cars that everyone can drive?

0:18:19 > 0:18:23All supercars now can be driven by complete idiots.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25The world needs cars that are difficult to drive.

0:18:27 > 0:18:32Compared to the normal F12, then, the tdf is easier to crash

0:18:32 > 0:18:33and less easy on the eye.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36And it costs £100,000 more.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40But none of that matters.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44You want a car that makes the hairs on your neck stand up,

0:18:44 > 0:18:48that makes every nerve in your body dance like it's in some

0:18:48 > 0:18:51insane '90s rave every time you push the throttle?

0:18:52 > 0:18:55This is it. This is that car.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03Ferrari has hinted this might be its last proper V12 without

0:19:03 > 0:19:05some sort of artificial power boost.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Maybe turbos, more likely hybrid electrical power.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15So, the F12 tdf could be the end of the road

0:19:15 > 0:19:17for that grand, pure engine

0:19:17 > 0:19:21and a road stretching back to the 250 Tour de France and before.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27The V12 - the very soul of Ferrari.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31If this is indeed a send-off...

0:19:34 > 0:19:36..it's an unforgettable one.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:19:51 > 0:19:52All right. OK, OK, OK.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54So, Chris, just between you and me,

0:19:54 > 0:19:56you've driven every supercar,

0:19:56 > 0:20:00hypercar, super-hypercar, hyper-supercar on the planet.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- How does it compare? - Well, it's scarier.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05It looks angry, it sounds angry -

0:20:05 > 0:20:08everything about it is angry.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10I can't believe you need a licence to buy a gun,

0:20:10 > 0:20:13but you can just walk in and buy one of these.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16OK, so then, where does Ferrari go from here?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Oh, I don't know, but it probably involves

0:20:18 > 0:20:22electricity and hybridity, and four-wheel drive.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23It'll be a new recipe.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26This is the last of the old kind.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's pure, it's vivid,

0:20:28 > 0:20:30it's just wonderful.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31So you like it?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Yes.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34Would you date it?

0:20:34 > 0:20:36LAUGHTER

0:20:36 > 0:20:37- I'd marry it.- Ah!

0:20:38 > 0:20:42OK, ladies and gentlemen, the future Mr and Mrs Harris.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44CHEERING

0:20:46 > 0:20:48And keep that applause going for tonight's

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Superstars in a Rallycross Car,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Kevin Hart and Anthony Joshua.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54CHEERING

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Hey, hey, hey.

0:21:04 > 0:21:05- Hey, my friend.- Wow.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06Hello, Kevin, how are you?

0:21:06 > 0:21:08How are you, sir?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Anthony, how are you?- You all right, yeah?- Hello, hello, hello.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Kev there, Anthony there.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- What about this?- Wow.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Amazing.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Amazing.- So cool.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22When we announced that you two were going to be on the same show,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25people became so excited they literally started to fall apart.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Is that what happened?- Seriously.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Can those people in the back, can they see me?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- LAUGHTER - Is this...?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Should I sit up? I feel like this is unfair.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35I feel like they all lost sight of me

0:21:35 > 0:21:37as soon as I did this right here. It's like

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- I was here, then I wasn't. - OK, so, Anthony,

0:21:40 > 0:21:43do me a favour, tell everybody all about Kevin, please.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Well, Mr Kevin Hart, currently seated to my left,

0:21:46 > 0:21:47is starring in Central Intelligence

0:21:47 > 0:21:49alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson...

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Yes, that's good. - The film is out the 29th of June.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55- And here is a clip where The Rock, who plays a CIA agent...- Yes.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58..Bob Stone, is pretending to be Kevin and his wife's therapist.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Yeah, that's good. You did really good.- Thank you.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01LAUGHTER

0:22:05 > 0:22:06It's called soul-gazing.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10Stare into my soul, and I'll stare into yours.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Maggie, this...- Hey. Shh.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15There's no talking, and don't look away.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17(Stare into my soul.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- (You are not my... - Shh, there's no talking.)

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yeah, but I'm not staring at...

0:22:22 > 0:22:23(Me and you. Stay with me.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26- (I'm your wife.) - You are not my wife, don't....- Hey.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28SHE GASPS

0:22:28 > 0:22:30How could you hit your wife?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32How could I...? How could I what?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- You hit your wife! - No, I...

0:22:34 > 0:22:35- He hit me.- OK.- He hit you.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37You hit us.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38LAUGHTER

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Excellent.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44OK, so...

0:22:48 > 0:22:51If you look very carefully at that clip,

0:22:51 > 0:22:53it looks like you're trying not to laugh all the time.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55No, that was a long day.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56We laughed...

0:22:56 > 0:22:58we laughed... I would say 90%

0:22:58 > 0:23:01of that was...was broken up by laughter.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04First of all, Dwayne's hands are the size of my face,

0:23:04 > 0:23:06so him to smack me...

0:23:06 > 0:23:09my whole face was numb by the end of that day.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11I just couldn't stop laughing, so he had to keep smacking me.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14And he said, when I smack him, he's like, "Just go for it."

0:23:14 > 0:23:17- And I said, "All right," and I smacked the- BLEEP- out of Dwayne.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20I was like, "You have a smack, dude."

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Even though we're acting, I smacked him, I knew we were acting,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25but I still got scared. "All right, man.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27"Come on, don't you be for real. Like, that's my character."

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- And are you movies now? Is that what you're focused on?- Yeah, man.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33You know, I'm like a sex symbol.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Here's the thing.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Here's the thing, man, the big screen makes me look tall,

0:23:37 > 0:23:39- so I'm in love... - Does you a favour?

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Yeah, I'm in love with the fact that I just look tall on the

0:23:43 > 0:23:44big screen, and then it's a shock

0:23:44 > 0:23:47- when people see how small I really am.- OK.- "I got you!"

0:23:47 > 0:23:48- Cos you are.- Yeah.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50I mean it, I knew you were small because I've seen you

0:23:50 > 0:23:53on other shows, but you are really, really small.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55No, you know, I don't say "small", I say "petite".

0:23:55 > 0:23:56That's a better word.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's just a better word to use.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Petite just means I'm put together

0:24:00 > 0:24:03in a smaller package than your average-size male. That's all.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07- But I got a nice smile, so it takes your attention off of my size.- Yeah.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09You got to learn, it's tricks to the trade, man.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12If you're going to be small, there's certain things you got to do.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15I'm a good clapper. See that right there?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17When you think about me being small,

0:24:17 > 0:24:18I might give you a good clap.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20You out of there, you forgot about it that fast.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22If I was tall, I wouldn't be cool.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24- If I had this size, I'd look stupid. - What you trying to say?!

0:24:26 > 0:24:29I would look stupid if I came out here with the same voice,

0:24:29 > 0:24:32- all big like this.- Yeah, it would be no fun for us, either.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34You'd be like, "Kevin, get your dumb ass out of here,

0:24:34 > 0:24:36"looking all stupid." Can't move my neck. It'd be weird.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Do me a favour, can you tell us what Anthony's up to?

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Oh, man, no problem.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Mr Anthony Joshua to my right here,

0:24:51 > 0:24:55if you do not know, this man will be defending his IBF heavyweight title

0:24:55 > 0:24:56against Dominic Breazeale.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Yes, yes.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04It's going down on the 25th of June at the O2.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06You know what, I don't need to talk about this man.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07To show you how incredible Anthony is,

0:25:07 > 0:25:10here's a punch that won him the belt in this first place.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Well, this IS the punch that won him the belt in the first place.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Take a look for yourself, people. See, that was good.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- COMMENTATOR:- ..on the floor, and there's still 1.40 left

0:25:18 > 0:25:20in this second round.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21And he's down again.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24And Joshua on the brink here,

0:25:24 > 0:25:26strolls into the corner.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:28 > 0:25:31The IBF heavyweight champion of the world.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Yes, yes.- Wow.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34- Wow.- Thank you.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39So, Anthony, you defend your title on the 25th of June

0:25:39 > 0:25:42and, of course, in that fight, it was all over the second round.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Yeah.- Don't you sometimes feel a bit guilty

0:25:44 > 0:25:46when you end the fights too early?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Don't you feel, like, for the advertisers, the sponsors...?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51LAUGHTER ..drag it out a little bit longer?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53I leave that down to the promoters of the job.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55And even though, you know,

0:25:55 > 0:25:57you do get the glitz and glamour and stuff,

0:25:57 > 0:25:59like coming on this beautiful show,

0:25:59 > 0:26:01meeting legends like Kevin and yourself,

0:26:01 > 0:26:03it is a gladiator sport, as well,

0:26:03 > 0:26:04and it's kill or be killed.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06So, at the same time, there is the longevity,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09and the entertainment, and the advertisement of it,

0:26:09 > 0:26:12but people are coming out to see someone get knocked out,

0:26:12 > 0:26:13and I'd rather that be him than me.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15LAUGHTER OK.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- I get it now. - So you understand, yeah?

0:26:18 > 0:26:20- It's serious business. - I'm so stupid(!)

0:26:23 > 0:26:24So that was in the second round.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Now, he went down just before the knockout punch...- Yeah.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29- ..he got up to a mandatory count of eight.- Correct.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31So they were two big punches.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33When you sort of sense that moment coming,

0:26:33 > 0:26:34is the punch fizzing in your hand,

0:26:34 > 0:26:36or does it come from nowhere?

0:26:36 > 0:26:38It's...it's second nature cos it's just an instinct

0:26:38 > 0:26:42that I've picked up through training constantly over the years.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44I love it, because you see it in their eyes

0:26:44 > 0:26:46when they get hit. Everyone has a plan.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48They come to the ring with so many plans -

0:26:48 > 0:26:50"I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that."

0:26:50 > 0:26:52And then, as soon as you hit them with a certain shot,

0:26:52 > 0:26:54everything goes out the window...

0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Yeah.- ..and it's funny to see in their eyes.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58- YOU know.- Yeah, I know.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00- LAUGHTER - I relate.- You can relate?

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Yeah, I relate.

0:27:02 > 0:27:03So, yeah, and then it goes out the window -

0:27:03 > 0:27:05all plans out the window.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07- OK, so, let's talk about cars, shall we?- OK, yes. Let's do it.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10OK, so, best first car?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Now, be ready for this, Anthony, OK?

0:27:12 > 0:27:15This guy is so into his cars, it's not funny.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16- All right?- Yeah?- Just be prepared.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- OK, this may be your first knockout for a while...

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- My first defeat. - ..in the wrong direction.- Yeah.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24- OK, so, first car ever?- Yeah.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at this.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29This is, you're about to see a Pontiac, man.

0:27:29 > 0:27:30A Pontiac Firebird.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33First of all, what happened to my chest in that picture?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35But it was a Firebird Trans Am, man.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37This is my first baby.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40I remember getting this car.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42My mom couldn't afford to get me a car.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45This is when my dad wasn't really in my life

0:27:45 > 0:27:47as much as he should have been.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50So my brother, he went and mustered up some money

0:27:50 > 0:27:51and brought me a car.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53At the time, it wasn't new,

0:27:53 > 0:27:56you know, it didn't start all the time, but it was my baby.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57It was my first car, man.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00But for the first car, a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am?

0:28:00 > 0:28:01- Yeah, yeah.- What a brother.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Have you sort of returned the favour since then?

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Absolutely not. - LAUGHTER

0:28:06 > 0:28:08No, I have not. No, of course, man.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11I've gotten my brother...I've gotten my brother some cars

0:28:11 > 0:28:14to date, but nothing is ever going to surpass what he did for me.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Anthony, you're up against a Pontiac Firebird.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19- This is a tough call. - Yeah, that is a tough call.

0:28:19 > 0:28:20And it must be your genuine first car.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Anthony, what is it?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24My first car was a Vauxhall Astra 1.6.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26CHEERING All right!

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Look how skinny I look.

0:28:34 > 0:28:35My head don't fit my body.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Why do you look like a boxing coach that didn't make it?

0:28:37 > 0:28:38LAUGHTER

0:28:38 > 0:28:40He looks like he has no training.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42OK, well, we've got to fight the corner

0:28:42 > 0:28:44- for the Astra against the Pontiac...- Yeah.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47..because the Vauxhall Astra is the

0:28:47 > 0:28:49- third bestselling car ever in the UK...- Really?- ..ever.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52- Wow.- That's what I'm saying - I know what I'm talking about.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55- Seriously.- Yeah.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57One in four drivers in the UK -

0:28:57 > 0:28:58they may not want to admit it -

0:28:58 > 0:29:00- has driven a Vauxhall Astra.- Yeah.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03All right, well, we've got to find out, OK, best first car?

0:29:03 > 0:29:04Audience, you decide.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07Let's hear it for the 1980 Pontiac Firebird.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09- LOUD CHEERING - Yes, yes.

0:29:12 > 0:29:13Yeah.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Or the Vauxhall Astra?

0:29:16 > 0:29:18MUTED CHEERING

0:29:18 > 0:29:20OK, Kevin wins Round One.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Round One, Round One.

0:29:22 > 0:29:23Round One, Round One.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25- Now, now, now.- Well-deserved.

0:29:25 > 0:29:26Best...

0:29:26 > 0:29:28best car ever? OK?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Best car ever? - I have to warn you, Anthony,

0:29:30 > 0:29:32- he currently owns nine brilliant cars.- Nine?

0:29:32 > 0:29:35OK? So let's just see the nine cars he currently owns, OK?

0:29:36 > 0:29:38OK, look at those.

0:29:38 > 0:29:39Just take us from the top-left

0:29:39 > 0:29:41to bottom-right, please, Kev.

0:29:41 > 0:29:45OK, that's my Ferrari, that's a 458 Italian.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47I told myself when I get to a point in my career where

0:29:47 > 0:29:49I can afford one, I was going to get one.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51This is after I bought it,

0:29:51 > 0:29:53and this is my sexy pose...

0:29:53 > 0:29:55that I chose to do in front of it.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57So you got a G Wagon? Is that a '63?

0:29:57 > 0:29:59That's a '65.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Then you got an SLS, and then you've got a Wrangler,

0:30:01 > 0:30:03- is that a Rubicon?- Yes, it is.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05You know the great thing that I did with this?

0:30:05 > 0:30:07People, if you look close, right,

0:30:07 > 0:30:09you see that stepladder on the bottom of it?

0:30:09 > 0:30:10LAUGHTER

0:30:10 > 0:30:13- That's didn't come with that - I put that on there.- Good for you.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15I put that on there, yeah, true stuff.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17I jump in and out of it, actually.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19It's funny when you jump out in front of girls,

0:30:19 > 0:30:22cos the just say, like, "What happened to his knees?"

0:30:22 > 0:30:24But it's a good... it's a good truck, man.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26It's like the opening scene in Trading Places...

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Pretty much, when Eddie Murphy's down on his knees.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Back to the grid. Now, the van is interesting,

0:30:31 > 0:30:33cos a lot of people don't know about these vans.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Oh, it's my pride and joy. - This is a Jet Sprinter.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Now, educate people about this van. - OK, so I work a lot.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41I have a crazy schedule,

0:30:41 > 0:30:43so I built a mobile office.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45What this is, it's basically

0:30:45 > 0:30:47equipped to have everything

0:30:47 > 0:30:50I need, from Wi-Fi, a living room setting,

0:30:50 > 0:30:53- a closet, a bed, yeah. - ANTHONY WHISTLES

0:30:53 > 0:30:54There she is, see that?

0:30:54 > 0:30:57That right there, that's called peanut butter insides.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59- I like peanut butter. - LAUGHTER

0:30:59 > 0:31:02I love peanut butter. So those seats recline

0:31:02 > 0:31:05just like an aeroplane. They go forward, back,

0:31:05 > 0:31:08that back row reclines all the way down into a bed.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11This is what I'm in more than anything at all, pretty much.

0:31:11 > 0:31:12Let's go to the final corner,

0:31:12 > 0:31:14because I do believe the final car

0:31:14 > 0:31:17- you're going to cite as your best car ever.- This is.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19And I don't understand why, but please tell me.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22All right, so this car here is a

0:31:22 > 0:31:25Pontiac GTO 1966.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28There's a story behind this car.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32My dad loved the Pontiac GTO. You know, he loved it.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35He said, "Son, this is the best car of all cars."

0:31:35 > 0:31:37My dad was in and out of rehab,

0:31:37 > 0:31:40in and out of jail throughout my life.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43And just as a testimonial to my dad,

0:31:43 > 0:31:45and my dad having meaning to me,

0:31:45 > 0:31:47when I could afford it and I found it, I bought

0:31:47 > 0:31:49what my dad's favourite car was,

0:31:49 > 0:31:51and built it up in mint condition.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54And then it was kind of a hypocrite move,

0:31:54 > 0:31:55cos my dad came to my house.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57He's like, "Can I drive it?"

0:31:57 > 0:31:58I said, "Absolutely not."

0:32:00 > 0:32:03- I haven't let him.- Really?- I have not let my dad near the car.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06But the nickname for that car is Dad - that's what I call it.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08It's just after my father.

0:32:08 > 0:32:09All right, so best car ever?

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Best car, right there. That's it right there.- That's cool.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13Now, Anthony, sorry, forgive me,

0:32:13 > 0:32:16I forgot you were here, actually, because...

0:32:16 > 0:32:19- that took a while. But see what I'm saying about Kevin here?- Yeah.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23So you're going up against this 1966 Pontiac GTO.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Yeah.- Yes.- Good luck.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26What do we have?

0:32:26 > 0:32:29My best car ever would be the Range Rover Sport.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Why?

0:32:31 > 0:32:34Well, it's the car that I bought for my mum.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36- ALL:- Aw-w-w!

0:32:36 > 0:32:37LAUGHTER

0:32:39 > 0:32:40Bye!

0:32:49 > 0:32:52I wanted my mum to feel like her son, who's an Olympian,

0:32:52 > 0:32:54she'll be proud to tell everyone.

0:32:54 > 0:32:55She can live up to those expectations.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58So the day before I fought for the British title

0:32:58 > 0:33:01I made sure my mum got her car delivered.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03She come out, and this was parked downstairs.

0:33:03 > 0:33:04She's crying, she's over the moon,

0:33:04 > 0:33:07- and that's why this is my favourite car.- Wow.- Yeah.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10- It's a good play.- I like it.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Cos it's only about winning.- I like it.- Don't care about anything else.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15- I like it.- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17- He bought the car for his mum! - I like it.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21Beautiful mom.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23That's a beautiful mom.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25So, it is Mrs Joshua's Range Rover up against

0:33:25 > 0:33:29Mr Hart's '66 Pontiac GTO.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Let's hear it for...

0:33:31 > 0:33:36Kevin Hart's beautiful 1966 Pontiac GTO,

0:33:36 > 0:33:39called Dad, that he won't let his dad drive...

0:33:39 > 0:33:41MUTED CHEERING

0:33:45 > 0:33:46Or...

0:33:46 > 0:33:50let's hear it for brand-new IBF heavyweight world champion,

0:33:50 > 0:33:51from Britain...

0:33:53 > 0:33:55..the car that he bought for his mum,

0:33:55 > 0:33:58- the Range Rover, Anthony Joshua. - Boo!

0:33:58 > 0:33:59LOUD CHEERING

0:33:59 > 0:34:01Boo! Boo!

0:34:03 > 0:34:04Boo!

0:34:04 > 0:34:07Who buys a car for their mother?!

0:34:07 > 0:34:09Boo!

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Boo, moms.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Nobody else? Just me? - So it's 1-1.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Shall we go to the laps?

0:34:16 > 0:34:18CHEERING

0:34:18 > 0:34:19Kevin, how do you think yours went?

0:34:19 > 0:34:22Oh, man, I think mine was amazing.

0:34:22 > 0:34:23You're looking at a semi-pro,

0:34:23 > 0:34:26so it's not...it's not something that's difficult for me.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28This stuff comes easy.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30You know, I ate that track up.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Yeah, that's what I did. I made the track my- BLEEP.

0:34:44 > 0:34:45Well, we'll see.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Anthony, how do you think it went?

0:34:47 > 0:34:50As long as it went half as good as Kevin's, I'm happy.

0:34:50 > 0:34:51- LAUGHTER - I'm happy.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Very wise answer.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Would you like to see Kevin's lap? Yes?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57CHEERING OK. He loves his cars,

0:34:57 > 0:35:00how can he drive? Let's find out, here we go.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02On the line, Kevin Hart.

0:35:02 > 0:35:0430 million Twitter followers,

0:35:04 > 0:35:07but that counts for nothing on our rallycross course.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09I can feel it.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13Ricky Bobby. If you're not first, you're last.

0:35:13 > 0:35:17A bit of Talladega Nights there. Time to shake and bake, Kevin.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20Good conditions on the course today, so no excuses there,

0:35:20 > 0:35:22dry but cool, should be quick.

0:35:22 > 0:35:26Now let's kill the rest of it, let's go. Let's go, give it to me.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Big splash?

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Yes! The Mini's wipers going crazy.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Now, this is very promising so far.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Here comes Hammerhead,

0:35:36 > 0:35:38and I like the look of that.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Oh, that's very nice. That is very nice.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44Ooh, good turn, Kevin. Good turn.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47Good turn, indeed. Off-road now for the second time.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51Let's have a look at the hairpin, very telling, this.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Oh, again, very nice, ladies and gentlemen.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56And the jump!

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Air, yes! Big air.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00Nearly there, Kev, just a few more corners.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Let's go. We there.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Don't overthink it, Kevin.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09The second American on our rallycross track,

0:36:09 > 0:36:12will he be faster than Jesse Eisenberg? Let's hope so!

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Into the last corner and...

0:36:17 > 0:36:19across the line!

0:36:19 > 0:36:21APPLAUSE

0:36:21 > 0:36:23What do you think?

0:36:23 > 0:36:25That was great driving.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28- That was great driving. - But you know when you see yourself

0:36:28 > 0:36:32back on-screen, you think one thing or the other, what do you think of that, seriously?

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Well, I mean, a lot of you guys could tell

0:36:34 > 0:36:36I have experience behind the wheel, you know?

0:36:36 > 0:36:39It was very quick. Honestly, it could be a record.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40I don't know what it was,

0:36:40 > 0:36:43but I'm curious to know what the fastest times around here were.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45- I'm quite sure I'm up there. - All right.- Yeah.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Well, we're about to find out. Shall we see Anthony's lap?

0:36:48 > 0:36:49CHEERING

0:36:49 > 0:36:52World champion in the ring, how does he do out on the track?

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Let's have a look now.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58All right, Anthony Joshua, the first MBE in our rallycross Mini.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Let's go, baby! - LAUGHTER

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Not at all motivated there. Olympic gold - easy.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Serious competition now, Anthony.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14There, there, grip! Give me some grip! Lovely.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Through the water splash.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19Yay! And time for the tricky left-hander.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21This isn't easy at all.

0:37:21 > 0:37:22Nice.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26If you're too hard on the brakes there, it's all over.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Hammerhead, look at that. Yes, come on, opposite lock!

0:37:30 > 0:37:33This is looking good. This is looking rapid.

0:37:33 > 0:37:37Come on! Let's pick it up. Up!

0:37:37 > 0:37:39Back off-road, and this is so slippy.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41There's SO little grip here.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Did you give it some handbrake?

0:37:43 > 0:37:46I think he did, ladies and gentlemen.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48High rev!

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Good air! Excellent air for such a big guy.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Right, Tyre Wall...- This is the one, this is the one.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Whoo!

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Look at that, look at that!

0:38:01 > 0:38:0416 fights undefeated, will he retain his perfect record here?

0:38:07 > 0:38:11Bouncing into the last corner, big chunk of grass there

0:38:11 > 0:38:14and he's over the line! CHEERING

0:38:14 > 0:38:16Great drive. That is a great drive.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Well done, well done, well done. - That's a great drive.

0:38:19 > 0:38:20That's a great drive.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23- What do we think? - May the best man win.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26- May the best man win. - That's fine, cos it's you.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30- That's what I'm saying, deep down. - That was a great drive.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33I thought they were both great drives, very, very good.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Kevin, to go top, 1.53.9 to beat.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Kevin Hart completed our lap in...

0:38:40 > 0:38:431.50...

0:38:43 > 0:38:457.7, there you go.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Wow.- That's all right!- Top three.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51- You go third.- Top three. - That's not bad.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54I'm happy with that. Top three.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Did you beat Anthony, did Anthony beat you?

0:38:58 > 0:39:02Anthony Joshua, your time around the Top Gear track

0:39:02 > 0:39:04in the rallycross car, as our superstar,

0:39:04 > 0:39:06one of our superstars, is...

0:39:06 > 0:39:091.50...

0:39:09 > 0:39:122.6! You're the brand-new leader! CHEERING

0:39:12 > 0:39:16- There he goes! There he goes! It's OK!- What is this?!

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- You're beaten by the new champ!- No!

0:39:19 > 0:39:21- No, it's fine!- No! No!

0:39:21 > 0:39:24- It's fine!- No!

0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Let's hear it for Anthony Joshua and Kevin Hart!- No!

0:39:31 > 0:39:34This is racism!

0:39:34 > 0:39:37This is racism at its best, right now!

0:39:37 > 0:39:40- He won because he's black! - LAUGHTER

0:39:42 > 0:39:46Let's hear it again for Kevin Hart and Anthony Joshua!

0:39:46 > 0:39:49- You were moving!- Very good.

0:39:54 > 0:39:59OK, our next film is about Rory Reid and a little blue hatchback.

0:40:08 > 0:40:12This is the new Ford Focus RS. It looks like a five-door

0:40:12 > 0:40:15family hatchback that's been down the gym.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Scratch the surface, though, and it's got substance.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25A Cosworth-tuned 2.3-litre turbo engine

0:40:25 > 0:40:27that bangs out 345 horsepower.

0:40:29 > 0:40:30345!

0:40:32 > 0:40:34In a Ford Focus!

0:40:34 > 0:40:37That's like fitting a retirement bungalow with its own

0:40:37 > 0:40:39surface-to-air missile system!

0:40:41 > 0:40:440 to 60 happens in 4.7 seconds.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Quicker than the Lamborghini Countach ever managed it.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52People, this isn't a Focus, it's a blur.

0:40:53 > 0:40:58And to prevent this blur becoming a smear, it's got massive brakes

0:40:58 > 0:41:01and adaptive suspension to cope with British B-roads.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05Even in its most unyielding setting,

0:41:05 > 0:41:09this isn't a hot hatch that's going to grind your spine to talcum powder

0:41:09 > 0:41:12the minute you see some bumpy tarmac.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15The ride is firm, but it's forgiving.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17And, more importantly, it's fast.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20And then there's the best bit.

0:41:20 > 0:41:24The Focus RS now has four-wheel drive.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27That's not exactly revolutionary in a modern hot hatch,

0:41:27 > 0:41:29but this version is a bit special.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38Most four-wheel drive hot hatches send pretty much all their power

0:41:38 > 0:41:40to their front wheels,

0:41:40 > 0:41:43but the Focus RS sends 70% of its power to the rear.

0:41:45 > 0:41:49Sensors monitor speed, yaw, steering angle and G-force,

0:41:49 > 0:41:52sending data to the rear drive unit, where two clutch packs employ

0:41:52 > 0:41:54side-to-side torque vectoring to send power

0:41:54 > 0:41:56to the left or right wheel.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59You got all that?

0:41:59 > 0:42:00Me neither.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03But what it all adds up to is this button.

0:42:03 > 0:42:04You press it four times...

0:42:06 > 0:42:08..and this happens.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10- Whoo! - BRAKES SCREECH

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Yeah!

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Whoo!

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Pointing forward is so last-century.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Sideways! That's the new forwards.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30And if you're thinking, "Well, that's immature,"

0:42:30 > 0:42:32yep, it is.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36- But so am I! - HE LAUGHS

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Drifting just makes everything better.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Imagine how much happier we'd be as a nation

0:42:43 > 0:42:46if we could get everywhere like that.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51And it's not because I've been taking lessons off the Stig.

0:42:51 > 0:42:55I haven't. Sliding this car is so easy.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58I reckon even a child could do it.

0:43:02 > 0:43:03BRAKES SCREECH

0:43:04 > 0:43:06My granny could drift this.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11See what I mean?

0:43:13 > 0:43:16If I have to find a problem,

0:43:16 > 0:43:18the seating position is a little bit high,

0:43:18 > 0:43:22the gear change is a tiny bit woolly around the edges,

0:43:22 > 0:43:25and from some angles the RS does look...

0:43:25 > 0:43:26tame.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28Sure, they're minor flaws,

0:43:28 > 0:43:31but the world of hot hatches is cut-throat right now.

0:43:33 > 0:43:38Especially when it contains bruisers like this,

0:43:38 > 0:43:40the Honda Civic Type R.

0:43:41 > 0:43:45Like the Focus, it costs £30,000,

0:43:45 > 0:43:50but unlike the Focus, it's all big arches, big wing, big attitude.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53However...

0:43:55 > 0:43:57It looks great...

0:43:59 > 0:44:03..and it drives OK, so why does it feel a bit out of date?

0:44:07 > 0:44:10In the Ford Focus, your 30 grand buys you four-wheel drive.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13In here, it's two for the price of four.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19There's more power than before...

0:44:20 > 0:44:22..but it's all on the front wheels.

0:44:22 > 0:44:24And where's my drift button?!

0:44:26 > 0:44:28Even though it was only out last year,

0:44:28 > 0:44:32the Civic just feels old-fashioned, like Honda have been so busy

0:44:32 > 0:44:34perfecting the old formula,

0:44:34 > 0:44:36they didn't notice that the world's moved on.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39The game's become more grown-up, more sophisticated.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42Uh-oh.

0:44:42 > 0:44:44I'm in serious trouble here.

0:44:44 > 0:44:48The Mercedes-AMG A45.

0:44:48 > 0:44:52Yep, the current kings of Formula One have gone and built a hot hatch,

0:44:52 > 0:44:55and the results are...predictable.

0:44:55 > 0:44:56Go!

0:44:57 > 0:44:59No, no, no!

0:45:00 > 0:45:02It's just like Formula One!

0:45:03 > 0:45:06Honda, down on power, languishing at the back.

0:45:09 > 0:45:10Civic, you've failed me!

0:45:12 > 0:45:15I like your look, but if I need power...

0:45:17 > 0:45:19..I need the A45,

0:45:19 > 0:45:23with an engine developed by Merc's F1 team.

0:45:23 > 0:45:2540 horsepower more than the Focus,

0:45:25 > 0:45:2770 more than the Civic,

0:45:27 > 0:45:31that's 376 horsepower from a two-litre engine.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34Unprecedented.

0:45:34 > 0:45:38Like the Focus, the A45 also has four-wheel drive.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41It's got a fancy pants double-clutch gearbox.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43It 0-60s in barely four seconds.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47And, with the limiter removed, it'll hit 169mph.

0:45:48 > 0:45:51It's just as you'd expect from an F1 team,

0:45:51 > 0:45:53all very impressive...

0:45:53 > 0:45:55and all a bit dull.

0:45:55 > 0:45:59Look, here I am going round the Hammerhead at serious speed.

0:46:01 > 0:46:05But you just don't feel as part of the action as you do in the Focus.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17This wins Top Trumps every time.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20Most power - tick. Drag race - tick.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23But who needs Top Trumps if it's not exciting?

0:46:24 > 0:46:25Are you excited?

0:46:25 > 0:46:27SILENCE

0:46:29 > 0:46:31I'll take that as a no.

0:46:31 > 0:46:32And that's the point.

0:46:32 > 0:46:37The A45 is just a bit grown-up for a hot hatch.

0:46:37 > 0:46:41It's like...something your dad might drive.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44Here's the other kicker.

0:46:44 > 0:46:50This A45 is ten grand more expensive than the Focus and the Type R.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53In hot hatch world, in any world, that's a lot.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Which is why I choose the Focus.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04Ten grand buys you 200 days' worth of B-road petrol,

0:47:04 > 0:47:07or 50 tyres to turn into dust clouds.

0:47:08 > 0:47:12Even if it were the same price, the RS is more interactive,

0:47:12 > 0:47:15more hands-on, more joyful.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18This is the best hot hatch on the planet.

0:47:19 > 0:47:24Maybe even the best fast car you can buy, full stop.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27Keep your Ferraris, man, keep your Porsches and your Paganis.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30I'm taking the Focus RS.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35I love this thing. I do.

0:47:42 > 0:47:44APPLAUSE

0:47:47 > 0:47:51And here they are, Rory Reid and his little blue hatchback.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54That's a pretty hard sell you gave the Focus there, Rory.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57But, seriously, "Keep your Paganis, keep your Porsches," really?

0:47:57 > 0:48:00Really, really, man. This car does the mundane,

0:48:00 > 0:48:02it does the astonishing.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05You can take this to the shops, you can drift it, you can race it.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08It's like having a three-car garage in one car.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11Name me one other car that's as much fun to drive.

0:48:11 > 0:48:14Your Paganis, your Porsches, all the stuff you just said to keep.

0:48:14 > 0:48:17Yeah. I'm talking about in the real world though, OK?

0:48:17 > 0:48:21On real roads, the Focus RS is just more of a laugh, man, you know?

0:48:21 > 0:48:25It's more super than most supercars.

0:48:25 > 0:48:26Oh... You're sure?

0:48:26 > 0:48:28- Yeah, I said it! I said it!- OK, OK.

0:50:43 > 0:50:44When you get a minute.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48I really want to see Buckingham Palace

0:50:48 > 0:50:52and I'd also like to see Tower Bridge.

0:50:53 > 0:50:57Oh, and the Houses of Parliament. You know where that is?

0:51:01 > 0:51:03Oh, Canary Wharf!

0:51:07 > 0:51:11Did you know that that, right there,

0:51:11 > 0:51:13is the second tallest building in London?

0:51:15 > 0:51:18Yeah, that one over there. Back there, way back there.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20That was it.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47Did you know that a lot of people think this is London Bridge,

0:53:47 > 0:53:50but it's actually called the Tower Bridge,

0:53:50 > 0:53:52because of the, uh, the towers.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Oh. Does Winston approve?
