Series 11 countdown: Audi RS6 vs skier

In the last series, Jeremy got very excited by the Mercedes E63 estate and the BMW M5 Touring, which he successfully proved were superior to a large 4×4 when it came to that most realistic of all tests - blasting down the runway at Manchester Airport.

Clearly someone at Audi was paying attention to this and decided to crash the fast estate party with the RS6 Avant, boasting a turbocharged V10 and wheel arches nicked straight off Gene Hunt’s Quattro.

So we sent Richard to the Alps to find out if it was good enough to overthrow the Merc/BMW axis of power.

And to make things more interesting, we organised a race against two fearsomely fearless French professional skiers.

It was always going to be a close fight, but Hammond had two things on his side. Firstly, the small matter of 572bhp. And secondly, the hope his adversaries would get distracted by some chalet girls and waste half an hour demonstrating how sensitive they are by running through Jack Johnson songs on their iPods.

Warning: This item may contain a Top Gear presenter speaking French. Badly.

The new series of Top Gear kicks off at 8pm on Sunday June 22

On go-go-go Top Gear, we went F1 crazy when Lewis Hamilton paid a visit to our test track, possibly to steal the design for our Suzuki Liana, but probably not. Also, Richard drove Fernando Alonso’s (boo, hiss) ex-company car, Jeremy and James went in search of the grandaddy of the modern car, and Jeremy rode the Thunder from Down Under - Vauxhall’s new Aussie VXR8.

Download from HERE. On cross-town traffic Top Gear, we tackled the automotive quagmire that is rush-hour London. Also, the alarmingly road-legal Caparo T1 was let out to play, Richard raced a rocket-powered German, and pop impresario Simon Cowell returned for another run around the test track.

This week’s Top Gear can be downloaded from here.

On born-free Top Gear, we ditched our draughty aircraft hangar and headed for the wide open spaces of Botswana, on a 1,000-mile safari across the spine of Africa. And, as a lesson for the people of Surrey, who think they need a 4×4 just because they live up a lane that sometimes has leaves on it, we asked each of our presenters to complete the journey in a normal two-wheel drive car bought for just £1,500.

近年来持续飞涨的全球油价,使得扳着指头感叹“买车容易养车难”不再只是中国车主的专利。这不,连财大气粗的美国人,也开始算计起养车成本来。最近,热衷发布各种排行榜的《福布斯》杂志,就根据数据推出了“养车成本最贵的十款车排行榜”。 福布斯这次推出的养车成本最贵的十款车,是根据维森克(Vincentric)公司的数据排出的,这家公司对不同车型的使用成本进行了长达5年的跟踪和统计。需要说明一下的是,维森克公司计算的养车成本是包括了折旧、燃油、维修、保险及各种相关税费等计算得出的。

刚刚看完今年最后一站比赛,真的不想再看F1了,感觉以前在现场看F1像是在浪费时间,难道F1也要商业化到WWF那样子才行吗?Ferrari就是垃圾,最恶心的车队。每个巴西车手都太好脾气了,Alonso太不是个东西了,哎呀… 可怜的Hamliton. 另外还是恭喜Kimi Räikkönen. 大家还是去看A1吧,F1实在太垃圾。

The anonymous Stig’s mission is to produce perfect lap times in exotic supercars and execute death-defying stunts with immaculate precision.
With BBC’s Top Gear returning to our screens this weekend, I am kicking off Top Gear week by tackling the biggest mystery in motoring: Who is the Stig?
Last week, stunt driver Russ Swift hinted that it could be him – and bookmaker William Hill rank him as 2/1 favourite. Continue reading »
