NASCAR? Can't wait for all the jokes about the fans being inbred hicks.

It seems Hammond is doing that segment and among the three he is most fond of America, so hopefully the entire segment won't be about proving stereotypes right.

[Edmond Dantès]

Roma Victrix

[RSP]

Hot damn, this supercar trip is hot!

Hot damn, this Will.I.Am interview is horrible!

edit; zomg, Tron Legacy soundtrack at that last bit ...

[PjotrStroganov]

Very good. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Dat blue stuff!

[Kyaw]

That was good stuff. Not much silliness, just car stuff.

Loved the Imola bit.

[Yenrot]

Very enjoyable, not too much acting either.

[Dilly]

Nice episode.

The stuff I'd give just to drive around Imola with one of those cars.

[Zeppu]

Supercar challenges are the best!

[123rl]

That trailer makes it look like proper Top Gear is back. The dreadful India episode is a thing of the past

[Exterminieren]

Great episode. Everything I love about Top Gear, with none of the stuff I hate.

[Edmond Dantès]

Should have mentioned Roland Ratzenberger during the Imola segment.

Roma Victrix!

[Dilly]

Yeah, weird he was not mentioned.

[Ash_69]

Fantastic episode and still extremely enjoyable and funny without the over the top scripting. Hope this continues.

[Tashbrooke]

Saw a double page spread in a nuts mag where they are all gonna have customised granny mobiles, should be epic... Sub'd and waiting in anticipation for some awesome gifs

[AlphaSnake]

That was one of the best episodes of Top Gear in the last...2 or 3 years?

[jett]

Gorgeous cars. Really enjoyed this one.

[jump_button]

Hamsters break down was the best part The guest on the other hand looked like he was on something

[DrForester]

What a fun episode. Wonder if they'll do lap times for those cars next week.

[mblitek]

For those that don't know I always upload the high-definition version of each Top Gear episode on my server along with a bunch of other motorsport related videos and whatnot. PM me for login details.

That Lamborghini had me all giddy with the blue flame overrun and backfire :)

Probably not a good idea to openly invite people to download shows from your server here on GAF....

The Aventendor is easily one of my favorite designed cars of all time simply because it does not look like a conventional auto design.

That was one of the best episodes of Top Gear in the last...2 or 3 years?

Easily. It was the guys driving around in supercars shooting the shit. Get from point a to point b, and drive the damn cars.

To be fair, the Top Gear crew are open to it and have talked about it on the show even -- in reference to certain sites.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I've been pretty down on the show lately, but this really was a wonderful return to form. All is well in the world when everything is mid-engined with loud-- preferably fire-breathing like that goddamn Lambo-- exhausts. Keeping the focus on cars and the guys' adventures when finding out what makes them great, and not so great, is when Top Gear is at its best.

What a fun episode. Wonder if they'll do lap times for those cars next week.

The Stig has already lapped all three over the last several seasons. At the moment, the McLaren is only behind the Atom V8 on the board. Crazy.

[Cake Boss]

Amazing episode, please have more like these for the rest of the season.

[rabhw]

Damn what an awesome episode. I wish I could reward them with better TV ratings but I'm in Canada so all I can do is download it :(

I really hope they keep this up. Although maybe they blew their season's budget on this episode :P

[Lonestar]

Heard a couple tracks off of Fight Club earlier. Another use from the new Batman films, and Fall from Tron Legacy

Tron and Batman have been used for a while by now.

Didn't hear it tonight, but they use this all the time too.

[paskowitz]

I need an Aventador in my life.

If you have not seen the latest episode, this is all you need to know:

Warning: You may fizz!

[CSX]

If gifs only had audio...


and man Clarkson was trying to kill himself, hitting those corner bumps with the lambo. Car was jumping everytime

[ascii42]

That was quite good. I liked the fake montage thing they did.

[XcL_]

Good episode , looking forward to the wing suit that was in the montage.

[reilo]

That was quite good. I liked the fake montage thing they did.

It was funny because it felt like a mockery of early new-format Top Gear / Fifth Gear.

[theb0xmIke]

That Lambo.....

[jey_16]

Awesome episode, especially them trying to go fast as possible on the oval track. Very intense

[uneilath]

Didn't see any Koenigsegg Agera R in the preview montage... :(

[Gowans]

Great ep, so glad it's back!

[Xun]

I said it yesterday but it really was a good episode.

Hopefully the next episodes continue this trend! This is the Top Gear I like.

[xptoxyz]

A nice, episode, much more enjoyable to watch than the Christmas Special if my memory serves me right.

The Aventador exhaust was a nice effect, was it just faked in some way?(partially thinking this because of the colour) Just doesn't seem a regular back-fire or whatever it's called.

[PjotrStroganov]

The banter during the news segment was also more real. Less obvious scripting is just more enjoyable.

It could be that on a race setup the engine runs a bit rich on fuel. And I wouldn't be surprised if Lamborghini have incorporated it on purpose. Compare it to those lasers shooting rain drops from the windscreen.:P

[SunhiLegend]

[CHEEZMO™]

I think I must have missed these flames everyone's talking about :(

[Cptkrush]

This was easily my favorite episode in the last 2 or 3 series'. Hopefully more like it, because it seems like they've gotten their focus back. Jezza pushed that Aventador so hard on Immola, I was literally on the edge of my seat anytime they were showing his laps.

Also, DAT TUNNEL SCENE

[Trokil]

lame episode, not very funny about cars they've already tested

the challenges in my opinion were also quite lame

If you do those challenges make them in cheap cars or something more interesting, they already did those supercar ones forever. In Paris it was at least funny because they were not able to leave the parking spot, but this one was just a snore fest.

And yes I like those supercars, but they did the same thing in the US, in Rumania, in France, Switzerland and so on with almost the same cars.

Why are they never taking something like a Nissan GT-R, a Subaru or something similar quick and drive through something with some corners instead of just a highway. There are such great roads out there and there also great cars except supercars.

[Xun]

It's a shame they didn't show the Stigs time in each of those cars on Imola.

[paskowitz]

Could you make a gif of the Aventador's exhaust back fire?

The color is only a result of the temperature (in this case, very hot). It is not that common see in the day time, but at night it is easy to see and is not all that uncommon.


Usually when this happens it can actually be pretty hard to see. But they probably knew exactly how to set up their cameras (its the BBC) to capture the effect. The day was also overcast and a bit dark.

I don't think you watched the same episode the rest of us did... Did you not see the city driving or Immola racing?

[xptoxyz]

Ok guys I'm convinced, haha, by faked I meant obviously caused on purpose. The colour and given it's still a road car in the end.(type of fuel or something, was my train of thought if that makes any sense)

It also seemed to last for so long on the shots(might also be because of the way it was composited/edited).
