00:03:58.339 --> 00:04:13.339
Fixed & Synced by bozxphd.Enjoy The Flick

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:17.919
Great job guys, nice fall.

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:20.519
Ah, lovely.
Didn't need that one.

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.119
- Thanks a lot.
- Thanks, Ben.

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.959
Ah, cheers, Andy.
Sweet, thanks.

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.279
I'm Ben Collins.
I've been a stunt driver on

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.559
Batman, Bond, Fast and Furious.

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:30.759
I've also played
the masked racing driver

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:32.799
on a popular motoring
programme called Top...

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:42.919
Hello, Ben.

00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:48.279
Thanks for joining me
at such short notice.

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.959
Oh, it's,
it's an absolute pleasure.

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.201
Uh, do you not think this
would be easier on the phone?

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:56.559
You will soon understand
the need for precautions.

00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.079
Yep, you're a known
paranoid and, uh...

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.159
We've known each other
for years, anyway.

00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:04.159
- And you're certain of this?
- Your name's Bary.

00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:06.319
You're the psychotic
stunt coordinator,

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.959
uh, whose got, sort of
this massively overblown sense of secrecy.

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.239
I brought you here
because I need someone

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:14.359
with a very specific
set of skills.

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:16.279
OK, go on.

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:18.639
It's a high-profile
feature film

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.479
that requires
a high-speed car chase.

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:24.919
Well, you have cable-tied
the right man for the job.

00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:37.639
The scene is set
at a high-security weapons store,

00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:42.199
at a top secret location,
manned by heavily-armed mercenaries.

00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:46.679
Some of the guards hear
the sound of an engine roaring to life,

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.279
and our hero car,
with you driving, naturally,

00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.399
leaps up from
an underground bay

00:05:52.760 --> 00:05:54.119
and the chase is on.

00:05:54.760 --> 00:05:57.119
The guards, realizing
it's a rogue vehicle,

00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:00.159
open fire on the car
that's racing through the weapons store,

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.359
avoiding other vehicles
and gun fire.

00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:03.559
Armed with blanks?

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.159
In the main, yes.

00:06:05.320 --> 00:06:07.359
- In the main?
- With the alarm raised...

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.279
A guard triggers
the electric gate to seal the facility.

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.079
You, in the hero car,
must make it through

00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:14.599
before the gates close.

00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:17.319
Providing you get through,
you'll begin to make your escape

00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:20.399
off-road around the outer
perimeter of the store.

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:25.439
After avoiding further gunfire,
you will then be pursued by a 4x4.

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:29.519
This means that the hero car
must run well off-road.

00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:30.999
OK, I think I can handle that.

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:33.239
Could you just rewind
to the part about the blanks?

00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:35.719
Once you have made your way
onto the main road,

00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.279
the car needs the speed
to outrun the 4x4.

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.559
After this, you'll then
be pursued by two further vehicles,

00:06:42.640 --> 00:06:44.719
yet to be decided
by the director.

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.159
Any idea what they are, or...

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.159
The last attack
will be from the air,

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:52.039
either by plane, helicopter
or by attack drones.

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.679
Naturally, the aircraft
will be armed.

00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:55.759
With blanks?

00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:57.879
The feature film is set
in the present day,

00:06:57.960 --> 00:06:59.039
so no old stuff.

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.959
You have 48 hours
to get out there

00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.079
and find me the perfect car
for this stunt.

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:07.679
Great. You've got
yourself a stunt driver.

00:08:45.640 --> 00:08:48.919
Now, although Bary the stunt
coordinator's recruitment techniques

00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.679
are a bit unorthodox, to say the least,
he does have an exciting mission.

00:08:52.760 --> 00:08:55.679
But it's quite a tough one
because it's not that straightforward,

00:08:55.760 --> 00:08:59.519
picking a car that performs
just as well off-road as it does on it.

00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:03.959
And, I'll tell you now,
I'm not picking an SUV.

00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:06.119
They claim to be masters
of everything, but really,

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.079
they don't do
anything that well.

00:09:08.160 --> 00:09:09.799
And the other thing
that is playing on my mind

00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:11.239
is this aerial attack,

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.919
because whether it's
a plane, a heli or a drone,

00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:15.719
all of them have
a massive top speed,

00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:17.559
and I need something
that can outrun it.

00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:21.799
But I do know a place
where top speed is almost unlimited.

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:45.719
This is Rockingham
Motor Speedway,

00:09:45.880 --> 00:09:48.399
a 1.5-mile piece of Americana

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.919
that looks like it crash landed in the
middle of the English countryside.

00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.799
This seven-degree
banked super speedway

00:09:59.880 --> 00:10:01.679
is the fastest
of its kind in Europe.

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.839
But, it's not just the track that makes
it feel like you're in the deep south.

00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:09.119
Because Rockingham has a fleet

00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.639
of America's greatest gift
to the motorsport world,

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:13.999
NASCARs.

00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:16.559
Born out of the days
of moonshiners,

00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:18.279
running illegal whisky
at high speed

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.159
across the southern states.

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.279
It's now a multibillion dollar
global motorsport empire.

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.999
Now, the secret of NASCAR's
success is its sheer simplicity.

00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.959
Because, here I am, sitting
inside a space frame cage,

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:03.879
basically covered
in steel sheeting.

00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.639
Up front is a bellowing
V8 push rod engine

00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.119
that kicks out 600 horsepower,

00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:12.679
slaved to the rear axle

00:11:12.920 --> 00:11:15.239
by this gigantic prop shaft.

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.079
It sits on these great,
big Goodyear bags of rubber

00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:22.479
that's gluing me to the track
when I wind the engine up.

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.519
Given an open stretch,

00:11:27.640 --> 00:11:29.719
easily I can bust it past 200.

00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:32.759
And that's enough to keep
a helicopter or a drone

00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.119
or pretty much whatever it is
that is coming at me

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.399
from an aerial attack,
on its toes.

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:41.199
Gonna get
the hammer down, baby!

00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:43.639
Shake and Bake! Shake and Bake!

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.759
I just love this car.

00:11:57.680 --> 00:12:00.039
It reminds me of the good
old days I had here

00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:02.079
racing in the ASCAR series,

00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:04.079
when I won
the European championship,

00:12:04.520 --> 00:12:06.599
and set the lap record,
which still stands.

00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:14.839
So, this NASCAR
has super speed,

00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:16.399
so it gets a massive
tick in the box,

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.519
in terms of evading
aerial attack.

00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:21.719
And it can maintain
those speeds for extended periods,

00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:23.559
so, another
important tick there.

00:12:24.400 --> 00:12:26.079
The only thing
that is troubling me,

00:12:26.280 --> 00:12:28.479
when I'm traveling
in a straight line,

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:32.079
I have to turn the steering
wheel quite a long way to the right.

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.479
That's because
this car is built

00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:36.839
to turn left
and kind of only left.

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.959
So, what I'm gonna do is
take it onto the infield

00:12:40.040 --> 00:12:42.399
and see how it fares
when I turn right.

00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:48.039
It's so unstable
and the brake pedal is so stiff.

00:12:53.560 --> 00:12:54.639
Jeez.

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.999
OK, that wasn't
very good or dignified.

00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.999
The brakes just aren't
designed to be leant on that hard,

00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.119
because you hardly
brake on the oval.

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.199
Because the wheels are
pointing the wrong way,

00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:12.639
when I turn right,

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.719
you just get this
massive understeer,

00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:17.039
touch the throttle
and the back end lights up,

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.679
because the axle's pointing
the wrong way as well.

00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:21.839
It's like driving,
I don't know...

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:23.519
A wheelie bin.

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.679
Here we go.
There's another tight hairpin.

00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:30.759
I'm dreading this.

00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:33.479
Keep turning, keep turning,
nothing's happening.

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:35.319
Sh...

00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:41.879
I think I'll be doing that
all day long.

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:46.559
I love this baby, but I think I'll have to
retire it and find something else.

00:13:53.400 --> 00:13:55.239
Something like that
looks pretty nice.

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.919
Now, I know Bary said
no old cars,

00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:02.879
but if it was good enough for
Steve McQueen in Bullitt,

00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:04.479
it'd be rude not to.

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.159
Now, this is a bit more like it!

00:14:14.280 --> 00:14:16.159
A proper American muscle car.

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:22.199
The 1965 Ford Mustang was built to
chew up road courses like this one.

00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:29.359
Now I should have no problem
tackling a few lefts and rights.

00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:32.959
I love these old cars.

00:14:33.040 --> 00:14:36.759
You can feel the heritage of it.
You can smell the leather.

00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.319
You can smell some gasoline,
actually, to be honest.

00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:47.719
You've got lots of
movement in the tyre

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.959
that, really, you can
embrace it and drive the car to its limit.

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.559
I drove a car just like this one
in Fast and Furious,

00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:03.519
chasing through
the streets of London.

00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:25.879
Now, that high-pitched
sound you're hearing

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.039
is the inside wheel spinning,

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:29.439
so there's obviously...

00:15:29.520 --> 00:15:32.039
There's no lock diff
in the back putting traction

00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:36.639
through both rear tyres, which is
not good for making forward progress.

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.519
It's, uh, pretty spongy
and not really that stable,

00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:42.799
and the jelly-like
suspension...

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.159
Well, you can't exactly say
it corners like it's on rails.

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.839
Oh!

00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:51.679
It's all right, granddad.

00:15:57.640 --> 00:16:00.119
The beauty of
the '65 Mustang, though,

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.439
is it does look the part,
and I'll give it that.

00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:04.799
But I don't think
I'll get many points for that

00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:06.999
when I'm under attack
from live rounds,

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.599
from whatever it is that
Bary's got in store for me.

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.599
And as much
as I love this track and these machines,

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.679
my search is going to
have to cary on elsewhere,

00:16:19.760 --> 00:16:23.039
because I think that when
it really comes down to it,

00:16:23.640 --> 00:16:26.079
these old boys are
going to let me down.

00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.799
You have one new message.

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.359
Ben, don't think
I'm not monitoring your every move.

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.839
I told you, no old cars.

00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.399
Stop disobeying orders
and carry out the mission.

00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:58.759
Otherwise, I will be forced
to take extreme measures.

00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:09.519
Now, as much as
I love old school American muscle cars,

00:17:09.600 --> 00:17:12.479
those ones just threw up far
more questions than answers.

00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:16.559
They are totally impractical,
fragile even by modern standards.

00:17:16.760 --> 00:17:20.159
But, what I do still need is something
with the NASCAR top speed

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:21.839
that corners like
it's on rails.

00:17:22.120 --> 00:17:24.599
In short, what I think
I need is a supercar.

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.319
And there's none
more capable or more loaded with technology

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.039
than the one I'm driving next.

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.359
Welcome to the future.

00:17:57.600 --> 00:18:01.679
This is the 650S,
the latest creation from McLaren

00:18:01.760 --> 00:18:04.359
and a quantum leap
in terms of car design.

00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:07.839
Every inch of this
technical marvel

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.359
has been engineered
to make it go faster than its rivals.

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.919
From the integrated
front splitter that creates downforce,

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.959
to these unique door blades

00:18:19.040 --> 00:18:21.799
that help generate
incredible grip and balance.

00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:25.919
And then, there's the engine,

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.319
a twin-turbo V8 warp drive

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:33.319
that propels the 650S to
a top speed of 207 miles per hour.

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.639
Now, that really is
flying machine speed.

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.079
Now, I'm fortunate enough
to have driven

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.799
well, nearly evey
supercar in the modern era,

00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:00.879
from Bugatti to Ferrari,

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.479
Aston Martin to Lamborghini,
all of them.

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.559
And they all have one thing
very much in common,

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.559
which is that they're
different to this McLaren,

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.959
because this car is truly unique,

00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:14.359
in that it has liquid suspension,
and I'm not joking.

00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:22.719
It's got hydraulic fluid that rushes
across the suspension very, very quickly,

00:19:22.800 --> 00:19:26.439
and responds when you need to shore up
some support in a corner.

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:30.879
And it's absolutely incredible to drive,
because it's so responsive.

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.559
And if you're wondering
where this mythical technology comes from,

00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.639
well, of course,
it comes from Formula 1.

00:19:43.080 --> 00:19:46.199
McLaren have been involved
at the sharp end since the '60s,

00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:49.639
and a lot of the active
technology on this car

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.759
was banned from Formula 1,
because it was an unfair advantage.

00:19:52.840 --> 00:19:57.159
But all is fair in
love, war, supercars and stunt sequences.

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.119
So their loss is my gain.

00:20:02.560 --> 00:20:06.039
And the other good thing about
Formula 1 technology is that it's tough.

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:09.439
This car is made from
a carbon fibre mono cell body

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.679
that sits around
the driver like a cocoon.

00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:14.439
So it's fantastically
protective in a crash,

00:20:14.520 --> 00:20:17.199
as well as giving you
the support in the corners.

00:20:17.280 --> 00:20:20.039
Now, that should be good for
taking a bullet or five,

00:20:20.120 --> 00:20:21.359
if it comes to that.

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.801
With this kind of technology,

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:29.759
the 650S can accelerate to
60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds,

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.679
and come to a dead stop
in just under 29 meters.

00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:39.039
Now, some of those figures
are a little bit hard to comprehend,

00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:41.319
so what I need to do
is a practical experiment

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.319
to show you just
how mind-blowing the McLaren really is.

00:20:44.560 --> 00:20:46.919
This is an Audi A4 S Line,

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.159
the kind of car that
typically flashes you to get out of the way

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.799
of the fast lane on a motorway.

00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:52.279
It's a tidy little car.

00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:54.719
What I'm gonna do
is accelerate from 0 to 60,

00:20:54.800 --> 00:20:56.959
and back to 0 as fast as I can,

00:20:57.120 --> 00:21:00.439
and I'll jump in the 650S
and we'll compare the difference.

00:21:00.760 --> 00:21:02.519
So, into sport mode.

00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:04.399
Off we go.

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:10.839
Here we go it's 40, 50...

00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:13.599
And 60!

00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:18.359
Ah, pretty good for
German engineering.

00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:19.999
Very impressive braking.

00:21:20.360 --> 00:21:23.399
Now, it's time to hop in
the McLaren and see the difference.

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:32.639
Now, in the Audi, that launch

00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.799
was similar to a sort of
fast getaway from the traffic lights.

00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.119
But in the McLaren, when this launches,
its gonna be like a space shuttle.

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.319
Apollo 13. No, Interstellar
is a better example.

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.639
So, get it into D,
set the launch control on.

00:21:46.800 --> 00:21:49.759
OK, so it's ready.
All I have to do is floor it.

00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:51.839
And the turbo spools up,
it's ready,

00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.119
and I just dump the brake
and we're off!

00:21:56.760 --> 00:21:57.759
60.

00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.119
Oh, the braking, blimey.

00:22:00.560 --> 00:22:03.119
Literally, you're peeling
the back of your head off the chair,

00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:06.199
and the next thing is you're tying to
keep your nose off the dashboard.

00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:09.519
And the distance compared to the Audi,
this is half the space.

00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:12.479
0 to 60, back to naught
in hardly any space at all.

00:22:15.040 --> 00:22:17.439
The McLaren certainly
has the straight line speed

00:22:17.560 --> 00:22:19.279
to escape an aerial threat.

00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:22.359
But, does it have
the maneuverability I need as well?

00:22:25.800 --> 00:22:28.359
A striking feature of this car
is the aerodynamics.

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.719
Of course, McLaren
calls it the Active Aero.

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.759
Get on the brakes,
it pops up like a barn door,

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:40.559
acting as an air brake and stabilizing
the car with extra downforce

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.559
to push the rear into the deck
and give you maximum braking force.

00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:50.039
It's like having an R2-D2 on your shoulder,
setting X Foils into attack position.

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:51.639
Really incredible.

00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:54.719
And it gives you
the confidence to attack these corners.

00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:11.039
At the heart of this ship
is an ultra lightweight V8 engine,

00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:13.959
powered with two turbochargers.

00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:16.239
You just hear those
spooling up behind you,

00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:19.359
there's this beautiful whistling sound
when you lay down the power.

00:23:22.040 --> 00:23:27.079
This car only takes 5.7 seconds
to reach 100 miles an hour.

00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:29.159
It's ridiculously fast.

00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.559
The supercars of yesteryear
took that long to get from 0 to 60.

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:42.959
That engine just keeps on pushing this
car all the way up to 207 miles an hour.

00:23:43.040 --> 00:23:44.799
So I love it.

00:23:49.360 --> 00:23:51.199
It seems to be almost unbreakable.

00:23:51.320 --> 00:23:54.279
Of course the question is,
will it be good enough for Bary?

00:23:54.360 --> 00:23:58.054
Well, stopping power is,
well, unbelievable,

00:23:58.080 --> 00:24:00.624
acceleration, yep, phenomenal.

00:24:01.280 --> 00:24:03.679
Handling-wise,
it's totally out of this world.

00:24:07.520 --> 00:24:10.159
I think the other thing to
think about is, uh, off road.

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:11.999
Hmm, that could be interesting.

00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:23.559
Right, now, there's an off-road course
around here somewhere.

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.999
Here we go. Bit of a ski jump.
Let's give this a ty.

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:29.879
Whoa, there's some nasty gravel.

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.719
Don't want to chip the paint on this baby.

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.799
And I don't want
the dust going in the air intake either.

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:38.599
The ride height on the McLaren
is not exactly high.

00:24:39.520 --> 00:24:41.959
There's a bit of a dip,
let's have a... Whoa!

00:24:42.320 --> 00:24:44.639
Oh, oh...

00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:45.879
Well, that's enough.

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.319
That's going to rip the splitter off.
Right, I can't get over that.

00:24:51.320 --> 00:24:52.799
As painful as it is to admit,

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.119
the McLaren 650S may not be
the ideal tool for off-roading.

00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.279
So, I think this is going to
have to come off the menu.

00:25:04.560 --> 00:25:07.719
Sorry, baby,
let's get you back off here.

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.599
What an amazing car.

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.839
The McLaren is just
a feat of engineering and design.

00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.599
It's as good as anything I've ever driven
in terms of balance and performance.

00:25:24.760 --> 00:25:27.119
And if this chase sequence
was purely on the road,

00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.239
with no evasive maneuveres
or hand brake turns,

00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.239
the 650S would be my choice.

00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.959
But I think I need something
with just a bit more all-round capability.

00:25:37.080 --> 00:25:39.199
In fact, I think if
I drove it up on to the set,

00:25:39.280 --> 00:25:42.119
Bary would probably kill me,
and then he'd steal the keys.

00:25:45.080 --> 00:25:49.119
The thing that is starting to nag me a bit,
though, is this aerial attack business.

00:25:49.280 --> 00:25:53.079
I really haven't got a clue
what I'm up against or how to evade it.

00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:56.199
I think I'm gonna have to do
some serious research.

00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:19.159
This is the Extra 300
aerobatic stunt plane.

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.559
Powered by
a 300 brake horsepower engine,

00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:29.639
it has a top speed
in excess of 250 miles per hour.

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.359
But it's the sheer
maneuverability

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.959
and handling of this thing that makes
it the F1 car of air race planes.

00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:51.919
And this one has been
fitted with two seats.

00:26:52.520 --> 00:26:55.039
I think you can probably
see where this is going.

00:26:59.120 --> 00:27:00.439
My wingman for the day

00:27:00.520 --> 00:27:03.679
is former RAF fast jet pilot
Mark Greenfield.

00:27:04.800 --> 00:27:07.679
With over 20 years of
aerobatics coaching under his belt,

00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:12.159
including a stint running the world-famous
Empire Test Pilot school,

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.039
he's a real-life top gun.

00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:21.799
- Are you ready?
- I'm ready. Let's do it.

00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.119
OK, power's coming on.

00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:33.199
So, that's us airborne.

00:27:34.080 --> 00:27:35.519
That did not take long, did it?

00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:36.919
No, not at all.

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:43.519
Once airborne, Mark doesn't hesitate
to show me what the plane can do.

00:27:47.520 --> 00:27:48.559
Ah...

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.239
I hate you already.

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:58.279
Well, I admit I was, uh...

00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.959
Obviously the whole reason
of coming up here is to ty and gauge

00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:05.239
how I'm going to fare in a car
against something in the air.

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.919
And, uh, I'm not sure if I'm
feeling as confident after that.

00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.479
And things generally
got worse from there.

00:28:17.840 --> 00:28:18.839
Oh, my God.

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.679
I don't know what just happened,
but I'm glad that it's over.

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:27.959
I was starting to realise
I could be in serious trouble.

00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:32.319
But, the whole thing with a car is that
I can stop, whereas you can't.

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.879
Well, it depends
what you mean by stopping.

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.399
If you can brace yourself and
I'll show you how we'll stop

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.439
relative to the ground
in three seconds.

00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.439
I don't know if
I'm gonna like this.

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.759
OK, so that's effectively
a right angle turn there.

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:51.799
- Yeah.
- And so, the movement

00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.879
over the ground was...
uh, pretty much 0.

00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:00.719
I just feel like
you've got a whole range of tools

00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.119
with which to punish me
while we're up here, and...

00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:06.559
I don't think that I did anything to you
in a former life to justify that.

00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:13.439
As it turned out, though,
Mark had been saving the best until last.

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.679
The Cravat, a highly-dangerous
aerobatic maneuvere

00:29:19.760 --> 00:29:21.999
which sends the plane
into a wild spin,

00:29:22.080 --> 00:29:26.439
twisting around and around in the vertical
whilst tumbling at the same time.

00:29:29.560 --> 00:29:32.999
OK, so, we're gonna pull up
gently into the vertical,

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:35.159
and we're about to go direct...

00:29:47.520 --> 00:29:48.759
How was that?

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:51.239
I think, what you've
done there is,

00:29:52.040 --> 00:29:54.999
you've taken a boy's dream
and you've turned that into a nightmare.

00:29:56.800 --> 00:29:58.279
I have your best
interests at heart,

00:29:58.360 --> 00:30:02.599
but I do want to make sure you understand
the capabilities of an aeroplane.

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.039
Mark's demonstration
has proven to me

00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:13.799
just how formidable
this aerial attack might be.

00:30:14.120 --> 00:30:17.159
If we reverse the roles,
and you had to choose a car

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.359
to get away from an aeroplane,
what would you choose?

00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:22.559
Well, I'd want something that
is very maneuverable

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.479
and very agile
and tight turning circle would be good.

00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:30.479
Lots of power and something that's
camouflaged to match its surroundings.

00:30:31.760 --> 00:30:33.759
Next, Mark decided to show me

00:30:33.840 --> 00:30:37.559
how devastating a strafing run
would be at 250 miles per hour.

00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:40.319
Here we go, rolling in.

00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:44.559
Wow, that's amazing,
when you see the ground open up like that.

00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:50.599
This is quite low!

00:31:00.840 --> 00:31:04.799
There's just no denying it.
A plane is faster, more agile

00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.599
and more lethal than
I could ever have imagined.

00:31:10.560 --> 00:31:14.599
If Mark had been hunting me in the plane,
I would have had nowhere to hide.

00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:19.440
Well, thank you very much.

00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:22.319
I think I've learned
all I need to know about...

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.679
An acrobatic, aerobatic
wizard like yourself.

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.919
So, I hope I never meet you again.

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.879
Cos if you're working for the other
side, I'm in deep trouble.

00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:32.119
Oh...

00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:36.879
The ground is still moving under my feet.

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:39.359
- You're a horrible, horrible man.
- Lt might do that for a little while.

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:42.839
Yeah, I'm not doing that again.

00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.319
You have one new message.

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:56.319
Ben, I hired you
to find me a car, not a damn plane.

00:31:56.800 --> 00:32:01.199
Stop trying to second-guess me.
That just makes me angry.

00:32:01.280 --> 00:32:04.799
And trust me,
you do not want that.

00:32:13.800 --> 00:32:15.799
As unpleasant as that
experience was,

00:32:16.120 --> 00:32:19.519
it has given me some idea
of what I might be facing out there.

00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.000
But I need to get on with this
because the clock is ticking.

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.159
And it's not helping me
with Bary's anger management issues.

00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:30.479
Now, the stunt plane has given me an idea
about the type of car I might want to choose.

00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:33.159
I've got one in mind now
for the underground scene

00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:36.599
that could fit the bill and just about
give my attackers the slip.

00:32:53.520 --> 00:32:56.262
It's 6:30 in the morning
and, as instructed,

00:32:56.288 --> 00:32:58.664
I've arrived on foot
at this dockside,

00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.519
where, apparently,
I'll be met by someone, hopefully.

00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:19.599
And that someone is
Michelle Westby,

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:23.039
a Drift Cup Competitor,
and my guide into the world of drifting,

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:25.679
the motorsport that's
taking the world by storm.

00:33:28.040 --> 00:33:29.479
- Hi, Michelle. That's mega.
- Hi.

00:33:29.560 --> 00:33:30.919
- Thank you.
- It's a great location...

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:33.999
And great big space. It's just like
San Tropez, but with concrete.

00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:36.439
Beautiful location,
lovely smooth surface here...

00:33:36.520 --> 00:33:38.319
- Perfect for drifting.
- Excellent.

00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:39.479
I've got a first lesson
for you as well.

00:33:39.560 --> 00:33:41.599
I'm gonna take you over now to
meet the British Drift Champions,

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:43.679
and they're going to
give you quick crash course in drifting.

00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:45.479
- Beauty. Cool. Cool.
- Let's go.

00:34:05.800 --> 00:34:09.759
So, let me introduce you
to JapSpeed Drift Team and their drivers.

00:34:11.080 --> 00:34:13.159
First up,
we have Paul "Smokey" Smith,

00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:16.039
Super Pro Drift British
Champion of 2012

00:34:16.120 --> 00:34:18.559
and one of the hardest
competitors on the scene.

00:34:19.520 --> 00:34:21.079
Next up, we have Shane Lynch.

00:34:21.200 --> 00:34:23.759
Irishman Shane made the switch
from circuit racing

00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:26.999
to drifting in 2007 and
has not looked back since.

00:34:28.600 --> 00:34:30.879
So, what I've arranged for you
is for Smokey to let you know

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.360
all you need to know
about drifting.

00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:33.999
- Smashing.
- And then you'll be battling it out

00:34:34.080 --> 00:34:37.599
with Shane after, whilst me
and Smokey look on and judge a winner.

00:34:37.680 --> 00:34:38.959
Sweet, let's do it.

00:34:39.560 --> 00:34:40.599
- Smoke.
- All right.

00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:43.119
Lovely stuff, good to
meet you, yeah. Brilliant.

00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.719
Shane.
Looks like a biter. So...

00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:49.159
But we will tangle later,
me and you.

00:34:49.240 --> 00:34:51.599
Teach you some manners, boy.
Oh, yeah.

00:35:02.200 --> 00:35:04.919
Although my day job
involves quite a lot of drifting,

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:06.439
I've never done it
competitively.

00:35:06.520 --> 00:35:08.839
So I need to know what
the judges are looking for.

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:13.839
That's mega. And what kind of
things are you doing

00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.119
to sort of, like, unseat the other driver,
cos you're in attack mode.

00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:20.319
You're both in a tandem drift
and it's judged by a pair of judges.

00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:21.479
So what are they looking for?

00:35:21.560 --> 00:35:24.519
Well, they are looking for
general speed around the course.

00:35:24.600 --> 00:35:25.600
- It's not a race.
- Yeah.

00:35:25.680 --> 00:35:29.519
But they do like to see you going through
the course as fast as you possibly can.

00:35:34.200 --> 00:35:36.359
So speed is important,
so it's not all about sliding.

00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:37.759
It's not all about sliding.

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:41.679
It's controlling the power
and getting that power to the ground...

00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:45.199
Yes, you're spinning the wheels, but you
want to be constantly moving forward.

00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.401
And what about Shane, then? Do you know
any tricks to making him uncomfortable?

00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.199
- If you go in and you're on his door...
- Yeah.

00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:59.279
He'll know you mean business.
And I think that could take the win.

00:36:05.160 --> 00:36:07.119
- That's mega. Very cool.
- Yeah.

00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:11.159
Now, when I do this with Shane,
can I tap him out the way, knock him off?

00:36:11.240 --> 00:36:13.679
Don't crash into him,
judges don't like that...

00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:15.159
- But you can rub him...
- Ls it against the rules?

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.839
- Against the rules.
- It's not against my rules.

00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:18.399
I do it all the time on the track.

00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:19.559
- Really?
- Yeah.

00:36:19.640 --> 00:36:21.319
All right, all right.
So, I have to do it fair and square,

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.639
loads of grip, loads of speed
and ty and intimidate him.

00:36:23.720 --> 00:36:26.439
Yeah, get as close as you can,
but don't hit him.

00:36:26.520 --> 00:36:27.799
All right.

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:32.159
With the demonstration over,
it's time to take the wheel.

00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.839
Well, I don't know
how many points I'm going to get for style,

00:36:50.200 --> 00:36:52.439
but I'm just about
making it around this course.

00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:56.679
But I don't feel I'm doing it
quite as neatly as Smokey.

00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.199
Quayside, loads of toys.

00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.559
This car is just
so drivable, it's unreal.

00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:19.599
It feels like you can just
kick this thing anywhere.

00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:26.959
550 horsepower,
it's just so precise.

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.999
You can see why they tune these cars
so specifically for drifting.

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.559
Everything is just
perfectly tuned,

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.999
but I can't stop sliding.

00:37:43.520 --> 00:37:47.119
This doesn't feel very fast,
but it does feel spectacular.

00:37:47.600 --> 00:37:49.399
Does feel like I could
take it anywhere,

00:37:49.600 --> 00:37:51.919
maybe even under that truck,
give it a go.

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:57.319
Impressive.

00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:01.039
This could be the baby.

00:38:02.120 --> 00:38:05.719
It's definitely the most fun car I
have ever driven, without a doubt.

00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.999
Loads of power,
super precise, I'm sold.

00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:15.799
- Is that all right?
- That'll do.

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:19.039
Let's take him on, man.
I'm gonna take Shane down the town.

00:38:19.120 --> 00:38:20.319
- I think you can do it.
- You reckon?

00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:21.799
- Yeah.
- Really?

00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:24.559
I think it's different with
one than with two, isn't it?

00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:26.279
- Yeah, it's a little bit different.
- All right.

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:27.719
- We'll see how you get on.
- Fair enough.

00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:29.999
- Where is he? That way?
- Over there.

00:38:30.080 --> 00:38:31.399
Mystery man.

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:48.439
Guys. Shane, you're to lead.

00:38:48.520 --> 00:38:51.879
Ben, you must follow as close to
Shane's rear quarter as possible.

00:38:52.520 --> 00:38:54.759
Shane, you ready?
Ben, you ready?

00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:57.439
Go!

00:39:19.560 --> 00:39:23.519
Just when our epic battle
was heating up, disaster struck.

00:39:24.080 --> 00:39:28.879
Shane's super charger
on his modified Nissan 370Z disintegrated,

00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:34.079
resulting in catastrophic engine failure,
bringing our competition to an end.

00:39:39.720 --> 00:39:44.559
It was just as well, really, because my
Silvia wasn't sounding too clever either.

00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:57.639
Broken the diff.
Mind you, my pain is not as bad as Shane's.

00:39:58.560 --> 00:40:02.519
This looks like a super charger belt,
another piece here.

00:40:02.640 --> 00:40:04.639
We could ty and knit
this together, mate.

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.399
That would make
a lovely paperweight.

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:10.519
Technically... What about that?

00:40:10.600 --> 00:40:11.760
That's default win, isn't it?

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:13.759
- No.
- His breakage is worse than mine.

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:15.319
- No.
- What do you mean "no"?

00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:16.961
Do these things really
break this often?

00:40:17.120 --> 00:40:19.119
They do, unfortunately.
That's why we cary spares.

00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:20.959
Spares... What do
you mean "spares"?

00:40:21.040 --> 00:40:22.919
Spares?

00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:27.879
Bary hasn't got time for spares.
Where's he going?

00:40:29.240 --> 00:40:33.839
These things are very unreliable, clearly.
And that's not gonna work well.

00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:36.279
They're also quite slow,
because...

00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:38.439
It's great, their drifting,
they're amazing, they're spectacular

00:40:38.520 --> 00:40:40.719
but you're going sideways,
you're not going forwards that quickly.

00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:42.319
Top speed, 80 miles an hour...

00:40:42.640 --> 00:40:47.599
Where is he... Where am I supposed to go?
Broken car. I'll follow him.

00:40:55.240 --> 00:40:57.799
That came close, but no cigar.

00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:59.879
The drift car made
all the right noises,

00:41:00.040 --> 00:41:02.519
but with that lack of
top speed and dodgy reliability,

00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:04.199
I'd just be dead meat.

00:41:07.200 --> 00:41:09.039
Adding some heat
to the situation

00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:11.479
is the abusive messages
I'm getting on my phone

00:41:11.560 --> 00:41:13.639
from Bary, and the
elephant in the room

00:41:13.720 --> 00:41:19.279
is the small matter of finding a car
that actually can go fast off-road.

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:21.639
It's time to head west.

00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.159
Hidden deep within
a rural valley in mid-Wales

00:41:40.240 --> 00:41:43.679
lies over 10 miles
of demanding off-road track,

00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:46.559
a network of punishing
gravel roads,

00:41:46.640 --> 00:41:49.719
which makes the perfect
testing ground for this...

00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:55.159
The Ariel Nomad,

00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:57.999
an insane creation that
wouldn't look out of place

00:41:58.080 --> 00:42:00.039
on the set of a Mad Max movie.

00:42:00.520 --> 00:42:03.519
Ten years in the making,
this is the latest offering

00:42:03.600 --> 00:42:05.719
from track day heroes, Ariel,

00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:09.279
famous for their road-based
rocket ship, the Atom.

00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:13.159
This machine is their
idea of what an off-road vehicle should be,

00:42:13.240 --> 00:42:15.319
and it might just fit the bill.

00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:21.239
Ariel will say that this car
will accelerate from 0 to 60 miles an hour

00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:23.439
in just 3.4 seconds.

00:42:23.560 --> 00:42:25.799
Now, that's Ferrari Enzo territory,

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.759
and if that's the case, these baddy soldier
people are in for some serious trouble.

00:42:38.720 --> 00:42:39.719
That's first.

00:42:41.560 --> 00:42:45.079
And that's second,
and that's straight to 62 miles an hour.

00:42:47.040 --> 00:42:49.719
Like me, you're probably wondering
how the hell it does that.

00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:51.639
Well, it's not doing it
with brute force,

00:42:51.720 --> 00:42:55.719
because this engine
only pops out 235 horsepower,

00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:57.679
which is practically
a lawnmower.

00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:03.559
Powered by a 2.4 litre
Honda engine,

00:43:04.120 --> 00:43:06.439
and it doesn't have a
supercharger or a turbo.

00:43:06.520 --> 00:43:09.159
It's just good,
old-fashioned torque.

00:43:12.080 --> 00:43:15.799
The beauty of it is in
the power-to-weight ratio,

00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:19.279
because the car
only weighs 570 kilograms,

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:22.639
which is about
half a Ford Focus.

00:43:26.640 --> 00:43:30.159
65% of that weight
is over the rear axle,

00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:33.759
where you need it for traction because
this is rear-wheel-drive only.

00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:36.999
I really thought that
would kill the steering,

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:38.639
but it doesn't.

00:43:38.720 --> 00:43:40.159
This thing is so agile,

00:43:40.240 --> 00:43:43.279
and just fires you
out of these corners, it's ridiculous.

00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:59.759
Part of the grip story
is from these three-way adjustable dampers,

00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:01.839
and these amazing
all-terrain tyres,

00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:05.079
that just eat the landscape
and spit it out the back.

00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:06.919
Whoo!

00:44:28.240 --> 00:44:30.999
It's almost easy to forget
why I came here in the first place,

00:44:31.080 --> 00:44:33.399
which is to assess
whether this baby

00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:37.199
has got what it takes
to escape an aerial assault.

00:44:37.640 --> 00:44:41.959
In terms of sheer straight line speed,
136 miles an hour...

00:44:42.040 --> 00:44:44.119
OK, it's not the
fastest thing in the world,

00:44:44.200 --> 00:44:48.319
but you could pretty much
drive over anything at 80 miles an hour.

00:44:49.520 --> 00:44:51.039
The thing that lets
it down though,

00:44:51.120 --> 00:44:53.599
there's just
nothing protecting the car's vital parts.

00:44:53.680 --> 00:44:56.559
The engine is just covered
in the same plastic they use

00:44:56.640 --> 00:45:00.039
to build traffic cones.
It's hardly bulletproof.

00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:03.519
And I'm expecting some
serious flak from the sky.

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:08.439
It's with a very heavy heart,

00:45:08.520 --> 00:45:10.359
but I'm gonna have to
say no to the Nomad.

00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:14.159
However, I've got
one more supercar from the off-road world

00:45:14.240 --> 00:45:16.159
that might just do the job.

00:45:17.560 --> 00:45:19.879
This, as you can
probably tell, is a Mini,

00:45:20.040 --> 00:45:23.719
but it couldn't be further away
from the run-of-mill estate agent chariot

00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:25.559
you see every day
in the High Street.

00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.519
This one competes in
the World Rally Cross Championship,

00:45:30.600 --> 00:45:33.799
one of the roughest
and toughest race series on the planet.

00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:41.679
OK, it's time to unleash
the fury of this baby.

00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.759
There's quite a complicated
launch procedure.

00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.399
I've got to hold of my
finger over the launch button.

00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.879
OK, I've got first gear,
gonna turn the anti-lag on.

00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.479
There we go, I can already
feel the power surge.

00:45:52.560 --> 00:45:54.199
Here we go.

00:45:56.240 --> 00:45:59.159
Oh, my God,
it's unbelievable power.

00:46:02.080 --> 00:46:04.879
The kick in the back you get
is like from a Formula 1 car,

00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.799
that does 0 to 60
in 2.5 seconds,

00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:11.119
up to 100 in five.
Absolutely ridiculous.

00:46:12.720 --> 00:46:16.559
This model was originally designed
for the World Rally Championship,

00:46:16.640 --> 00:46:21.239
but then they added an
enormous turbo so big...

00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:22.879
Whoa!

00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:24.439
They had to give it a name.

00:46:24.520 --> 00:46:28.439
Its name is Gerrard,
and when Gerrard gets angry,

00:46:28.520 --> 00:46:30.119
you go very, very fast.

00:46:39.560 --> 00:46:42.279
It kicks out 500 horsepower,

00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:44.039
which is twice the Nomad had,

00:46:44.120 --> 00:46:46.679
lancing itself very neatly

00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:50.079
through this
four-wheel-drive system,

00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:52.639
just hammering me
down this road.

00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:57.319
Whoo!

00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:02.079
It's also got this
wonderful handbrake,

00:47:02.160 --> 00:47:03.799
which has rear diff release,

00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:07.359
which I admit, sounds like some kind
of bowel control problem.

00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:10.159
What it allows me to do is

00:47:10.240 --> 00:47:12.639
lock up the rear wheels
whilst applying the power

00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:16.079
and just trim the nose
of the car into the corner

00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:19.439
whilst accelerating,
and it's just incredible.

00:47:22.640 --> 00:47:27.319
I'm very reassured by the fact that
this car is covered in Kevlar,

00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:29.879
the stuff they make
bulletproof jackets from.

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.119
There's a whole shield
in front of the engine bay

00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:34.200
and in the rear quarter panels,

00:47:34.240 --> 00:47:38.279
so if I do come under fire,
I've got some pretty good protection there.

00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:44.359
I've got a good feeling about this Mini.
I think this is the one.

00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:48.439
Oh, hang on a minute.
Team are calling me in.

00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:02.159
That was awesome.
Thank you so much.

00:48:02.240 --> 00:48:04.159
- Is everything ok?
- No, we need to refuel.

00:48:05.600 --> 00:48:07.759
What, did you half fill it or
something, or was that a full tank?

00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:09.559
- That is a full tank.
- You serious?

00:48:09.640 --> 00:48:10.639
I'm serious.

00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:14.400
Well, five minutes isn't
going to cut a car chase. There's no way.

00:48:14.560 --> 00:48:16.039
This car had
everything I wanted,

00:48:16.120 --> 00:48:18.679
and now I've got to
start completely from scratch.

00:48:19.240 --> 00:48:20.239
Ugh!

00:48:31.160 --> 00:48:32.159
Hi, Bary.

00:48:32.240 --> 00:48:35.119
Ben, don't mention names
over a cellular phone!

00:48:35.680 --> 00:48:38.479
And you know why I'm calling.
Have you found me a car?

00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:40.239
Uh, no, not quite.

00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:42.879
What do you mean, "Not quite"?

00:48:43.240 --> 00:48:47.079
Well, I've tested some amazing stuff
but nothing that's quite right for the job.

00:48:47.160 --> 00:48:52.319
You really need to sort this.
Fourteen hours, find me that car!

00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.359
I will, I promise.
I've got a plan.

00:48:55.600 --> 00:48:57.759
Bary... Hello?

00:48:58.560 --> 00:49:00.439
Bye... Bye, Bary.

00:49:00.520 --> 00:49:02.039
Thanks for calling.

00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:25.719
Here are the final four cars
I'm assessing for this mission.

00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:27.919
And to help me make
the big decision,

00:49:29.200 --> 00:49:33.039
I've brought in stunt driving heavyweight,
Martin Ivanov,

00:49:34.080 --> 00:49:36.119
known as "the Russian."

00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:41.559
A multiple-award-winning stunt
performer and driver,

00:49:41.680 --> 00:49:43.679
we met on the set of
Quantum of Solace,

00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:46.839
and he's the one man I trust
when it comes to a car chase.

00:49:49.240 --> 00:49:51.759
Martin, thanks for coming all the way from
Moscow to test these cars out.

00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:52.839
You know the brief.

00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:55.119
The first one we've got
is the Audi S8,

00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:57.200
and it should be good
because it's, you know,

00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:58.919
a true action movie favourite.

00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.759
Yeah, perfect, this is the car.
No more searching needed.

00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:04.159
OK, great,
that's good confidence

00:50:04.240 --> 00:50:07.399
but we have got more in the car park,
so, this is just one of the four.

00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:09.319
No, no, no, no.
This is the car.

00:50:11.080 --> 00:50:15.559
Now, to settle this argument,
we need to get out on the track.

00:50:23.680 --> 00:50:25.599
The amazing thing with this car
is when you get into it,

00:50:25.680 --> 00:50:29.999
it feels really big, it's like being
in a tank but it's so fast with it.

00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:37.159
It's got twin-turbocharged,
V8 engine, 520 horsepower.

00:50:39.680 --> 00:50:40.759
And because it's Quattro,

00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:42.759
I thinks it's gonna be
almost as good off-road

00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:44.479
as putting its power
down on the tarmac.

00:50:44.560 --> 00:50:47.799
So I think you've got a point.
This could be a fantastic car.

00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:53.399
But we are gonna test
some more cars

00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:56.359
because I still think
one of those ones in the garage

00:50:56.440 --> 00:50:57.759
could be better than this one.

00:50:57.840 --> 00:50:58.919
Yeah. Let's see.

00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:11.639
And here's the next contender.

00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:16.079
From super saloon to super car,

00:51:16.160 --> 00:51:18.679
this is the Noble M600.

00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:24.679
This could be a hero
or a villain's car with its mean looks.

00:51:26.520 --> 00:51:29.919
But this beast is all
about killer performance.

00:51:43.160 --> 00:51:46.959
Now, the reason I've chosen this Noble
is because it delivers true performance

00:51:47.040 --> 00:51:49.359
in a very, very simple
old-fashioned way

00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:51.879
and I'm talking as basic
as horse and cart.

00:51:58.680 --> 00:52:02.759
It goes from 0 to 60 in three seconds,
and just keeps going

00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:05.519
until you get to
225 miles per hour,

00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:09.399
which surely is enough to defeat
anything by land, sea or air.

00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:17.599
I have to admit, aerodynamics are a
little bit light on the Noble,

00:52:17.680 --> 00:52:19.679
which does make it quite
skittish at high speed

00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.519
but it's also what
makes it so fast.

00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:27.319
Just look what it's
like in the corners.

00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:28.919
It's just balletic.

00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:33.319
And the harder you drive it,
the more you get out of it.

00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:36.599
I love this car.
I think this could be a winner.

00:52:40.600 --> 00:52:41.999
Release the Russian.

00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:47.279
I am coming.

00:52:57.040 --> 00:52:58.759
I almost feel sorry for Martin,

00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:01.239
in that I'm going to break his
spirit right at the beginning

00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:05.119
because the advantage this
car is pulling on the Audi is sizeable.

00:53:05.200 --> 00:53:06.239
It's killing it.

00:53:11.600 --> 00:53:15.199
The poise in these chicanes is where
I really seem to break away from him.

00:53:15.720 --> 00:53:20.959
Martin's car is leaning heavily,
blistering its front tyres no doubt,

00:53:21.040 --> 00:53:22.799
as it tries to keep up
with the Noble.

00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:28.479
I'm sure he'll get over it
on his flight home.

00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:30.439
Bye-bye, Martin.

00:53:40.720 --> 00:53:43.359
Ugh! So much for
catching me, Martin. Where were you?

00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:44.879
This car is a joke.

00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:47.439
- What do you mean?
- Look at the ground clearance.

00:53:48.360 --> 00:53:49.360
It's not that low, is it?

00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:51.599
Your chase will end
at first speed bump.

00:53:52.240 --> 00:53:53.839
Well let's go ty
another one then. Come on.

00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:55.399
- Yeah, let's do it.
- Grumpy.

00:54:03.720 --> 00:54:06.039
Next is the Jaguar F-Type.

00:54:09.240 --> 00:54:13.119
A stunning GT, which is giving
Aston Martin a run for its money.

00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:19.239
It certainly looks the part,
but does it have it where it counts?

00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:36.159
This is the Jaguar F-Type S,
a supercharged version of the V6 engine,

00:54:36.240 --> 00:54:39.999
knocking out
374 brake horsepower.

00:54:42.160 --> 00:54:44.879
It's got a shorter wheelbase
than that massive Audi,

00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:48.599
which should give this the advantage
in the off-road part of the chase,

00:54:48.680 --> 00:54:52.399
and it's got some ground clearance,
which was the Achilles heel for the Noble.

00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:54.759
So, this has got to be
a strong candidate.

00:55:03.560 --> 00:55:05.559
Now, unbelievably,
in terms of acceleration,

00:55:05.640 --> 00:55:08.559
the Audi actually has
the edge over this Jag,

00:55:08.720 --> 00:55:10.679
but this has longer legs,

00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:13.399
and it can stretch them
to 171 miles an hour.

00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:17.759
And it's great at drifting.

00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:22.759
Which means I can throw loads of smoke
in the face of my would-be pursuers.

00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:28.119
It's just so much fun, this car.
Ahhh!

00:55:31.680 --> 00:55:33.039
Release the Russian.

00:55:41.680 --> 00:55:42.959
Come to papa.

00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:49.599
It's much, much more
evenly-matched this time.

00:55:52.200 --> 00:55:56.359
I've got a little bit more pick-up and
traction, just coming out of the corners

00:55:56.440 --> 00:56:00.199
but as soon as we get on these straights,
he is closing right up on me.

00:56:00.640 --> 00:56:02.079
This does not bode well.

00:56:04.520 --> 00:56:08.759
Let's ty the old smoking-tyre maneuvere and
see if I can push him back a little bit.

00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:12.359
Come on, Jag!

00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:15.679
I've got my foot to the floor.
I can't stop him.

00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:17.679
Ahhh, Martin!

00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:26.079
Oh, I thought you'd be smug.

00:56:26.160 --> 00:56:27.959
- Victory!
- I know what you're gonna say.

00:56:28.080 --> 00:56:30.519
I mean, you kind of won,
but only in the straight bit.

00:56:30.640 --> 00:56:33.759
- This is still a good car.
- But I won.

00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:37.719
- All right, well, I've got one more, yeah?
- Yeah, your last chance.

00:56:38.120 --> 00:56:39.279
Yeah, you're so tough.

00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:44.559
I've saved the best till last.

00:56:44.640 --> 00:56:48.479
The BMW M3 is a legend
of Teutonic performance.

00:56:48.720 --> 00:56:50.999
The M3 has been
trouncing its rivals,

00:56:51.080 --> 00:56:54.519
on and off the race track,
for nearly four decades,

00:56:54.600 --> 00:56:57.119
but is it the all-rounder I need?

00:57:08.160 --> 00:57:13.559
Now this is BMW's brand new M3,
the pinnacle of German engineering,

00:57:13.640 --> 00:57:15.679
a car that even Martin
would approve of.

00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:21.599
BMW have given this M3
a brand new engine.

00:57:21.680 --> 00:57:26.239
They ditched the V8
for a lighter straight 6 turbocharged unit,

00:57:26.680 --> 00:57:29.879
firing out 425 horsepower.

00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:31.359
It's an incredible car
to drive.

00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:33.599
You've got so much control
under your right foot.

00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:38.039
Fantastic cornering.

00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:45.719
And you can still drive it
like an absolute hooligan when you want to.

00:57:48.120 --> 00:57:49.679
This car is great.

00:57:54.200 --> 00:57:55.519
Deploy the Russian.

00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:03.439
You don't know
the power of dark side.

00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:09.559
Now, instantly, I get the feeling
that we're much more closely-matched.

00:58:10.160 --> 00:58:13.599
Both these cars have got
incredible poise through the corners.

00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:18.519
He's hanging on, but it's nothing like
as deadly as it was with the Jag.

00:58:24.600 --> 00:58:28.839
Even in this big straight, the Audi,
I can just see him closing in.

00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:30.519
Argh! Braked a bit late.

00:58:32.560 --> 00:58:35.679
Oh, you're close, Martin,
but you're not quite close enough.

00:58:37.240 --> 00:58:38.239
Yeah.

00:58:42.040 --> 00:58:46.079
Well, that was a workout, but one of
these cars definitely is a winner,

00:58:46.160 --> 00:58:47.399
and I think I'm sitting in it.

00:58:52.240 --> 00:58:54.239
Well, I think that was draw, yes?

00:58:54.720 --> 00:58:56.159
I think even you'd agree with that.

00:58:56.840 --> 00:58:58.720
Well, hallelujah,
let's break out the champagne.

00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:00.319
I think this is the winner.

00:59:00.600 --> 00:59:01.599
No.

00:59:01.720 --> 00:59:02.719
Why?

00:59:03.080 --> 00:59:04.079
Look at the colour.

00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:07.239
Under aerial attack, it's perfect target.

00:59:08.680 --> 00:59:10.159
Well, thanks.

00:59:10.440 --> 00:59:11.599
I'm not sure I agree.

00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:13.479
Well, I've got to pick something.

00:59:13.560 --> 00:59:15.919
If you had to pick
any car other than the Audi,

00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:17.119
which one would you pick?

00:59:17.320 --> 00:59:18.319
Audi.

00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:20.879
That's not helpful, is it?
Because I need to pick one.

00:59:21.560 --> 00:59:23.559
This is it,
this is the final reckoning.

00:59:23.640 --> 00:59:27.279
I think I've made a decision, though,
which is it's got to be something else.

00:59:33.520 --> 00:59:34.519
Today is the day of reckoning.

00:59:34.600 --> 00:59:39.919
I really thought the BMW had it all,
but it just doesn't cover evey base,

00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:43.239
and now I'm gonna go
with a car, in my gut,

00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:45.119
I'm convinced is the right one.

00:59:45.200 --> 00:59:46.679
No more second-guessing.

00:59:48.320 --> 00:59:49.319
Let's do this.

00:59:57.400 --> 01:00:00.759
My final choice
is quite simply an icon,

01:00:01.720 --> 01:00:04.959
a thoroughbred sports car
that's pure Hollywood.

01:00:06.160 --> 01:00:10.399
The Ford Mustang combines
European handling with American muscle,

01:00:11.040 --> 01:00:14.999
making it the ultimate all-rounder,
and an unstoppable force.

01:00:57.400 --> 01:00:59.039
Rogue vehicle, rogue vehicle!

01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:01.079
So there you have it, folks,
the Ford Mustang GT.

01:05:01.160 --> 01:05:03.239
Loads of grunt for getting
yourself out of trouble.

01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:06.119
It's got a clutch
and a handbrake for evasive measures,

01:05:06.200 --> 01:05:08.439
ample space in
the trunk for an RPG 7

01:05:08.520 --> 01:05:11.239
and it's super fast off-road
as well as on it.

01:05:11.640 --> 01:05:13.999
I just hope the sequence
was enough to keep Bary... Oh!

01:05:14.023 --> 01:05:30.023
Hope it helped -> bozxphd
