Who makes the world's best GT car?
Who makes the world's best GT car?
New Aston Martin DB12
Ferrari Roma
Maserati GranTurismo
The Aston Martin DB12 is a gorgeous new grand tourer and Aston Martin thinks it's sufficiently special that it even call it a Super Tourer - the world's first, it says.
Well. In that case, it feels only right that we should wheel out a couple of other GT cars to meet it. One is the Ferrari Roma, Ferrari's entry-level car that feels anything but an entry-level car, and the other is the Maserati GranTurismo, a car so GT-ish that the clue is, quite literally, in the name.
Question is, then, what are they like, inside and out, and to drive? Join Matt Prior as he finds out.

How to drive at 628mph | Top Gear
How to drive at 628mph | Top Gear
Going 1,000mph isn’t easy. But that’s exactly what the Bloodhound project wants to do. In order to do so you need a few things; a rather special car, a Rolls-Royce EJ200 jet and a rocket. Oh, and a rather brave person to sit behind the wheel. So strap your brain in as Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Marriage speaks to Andy Green about what it’s like to do 628mph – and how this car will try and hit 1,000. Be warned: there’s talk of yaw, static roll margins and what it’s like to drift a supersonic car.

Collecting the most valuable car in the world: 300 SLR UHLENHAUT COUPE at Sindelfingen | HD
History was made a year ago when the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR ‘Uhlenhaut Coupé’ - the car that would never be sold - became the most valuable car ever to change hands. Arguably it transformed the way other collectors think about cars being “just cars”.
Mercedes made two of these coupés for a race that never happened, and after press testing and high speed VIP rides chauffeured by race team boss Rudolf Uhlenhaut they lived a sheltered life in the factory museum with rare appearances at historic events: ‘Red’ (nicknamed for its upholstery, as opposed to ‘Blue’) had covered just over 5,000km when it was sold. Now the next page gets written.

Enzo Built a One-Off Ferrari with an F1 Engine: Ferrari 250 Europa Vignale — BTS with DTS — Ep. 13
For a few magical years, the eras of Ferrari and coachbuilding overlapped, resulting in some of the most spectacular automotive confections of all time. Before Pinin Farina became the default designer of Ferrari road cars, there was Vignale, who designed and built the bodies of about 150 Ferraris between 1950 and 1954. These were made individually by hand and so a Vignale design was almost never built in quantities greater than ten. Only two examples of this particular body design were built, and this car, serial number 0313EU, is the only 250 Europa to receive this design.
The mechanical bits of this 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa are equally special: the 22 Europas built are the only Ferrari 250s powered by the iconic “long block” Aurelio Lampredi-designed V12 which Ferrari designed in order to have a large and powerful enough naturally-aspirated engine to run competitively in Formula 1. And it sounds nothing like other Ferrari V12s.
In this video, Derek Tam-Scott explores the sensational combination of race-derived mechanicals and Vignale’s automotive jewelry that make up this car, offering a glimpse into an era where Ferrari was an obscure sports car company turning out fewer than 50 cars a year in order to fund a racing habit.

Formula E : Everything You Need To Know About GEN3 Cars
A little recap on this season’s GEN3 car that brought many new aspects compared to the previous one: increased power and performances in discharge and regen, a front powertrain, a dual axel design in regen, and the capability to fast charge at 600kW.
Smaller and 60kg lighter than GEN2, the car is optimised for wheel-to-wheel street racing, bearing in mind that sustainability is key to Formula E, indeed its design makes it a net zero race car, with sustainable materials used for bodywork parts, such as linen or recycled carbon fibre.
GEN3 is the pinnacle of electric technologies for motorsport and provides a laboratory for the manufacturers to test and see if there is potential that may be transferred to their consumer vehicles.
The evolution of the four-year cycle project is already underway. The aim is always to ensure Formula E remains at the forefront as the laboratory for future mobility, as well as to understand the challenges faced by manufacturers from a technical perspective, making sure Formula E remains the perfect platform for them.

NEW 630bhp Audi RS6 Performance Meets America’s ULTIMATE Wagons! | Top Gear
In the US of A, you can drive anything. Muscle cars, trucks and particularly the SUV is king. So if you choose to ignore all of that and daily a traditional longroof estate car, you’re… kind of an eccentric.
Curious to dive into the cult of the wagon, TopGear magazine’s Ollie Kew arranged a meet-up with ten of the West Coast’s biggest wagon fanatics, and took along the latest, greatest, fastest Audi Avant yet: the new 631bhp, £110,000 RS6 Performance.
It’s the best RS6 ever, and proof Audi is getting the hang of an entertaining chassis… but at TG’s Festival of Wagon, it was the old-timers (and their owners) that were the real stars of the show.

Singer Factory Tour: How The Most Beautiful Porsches In The World Are Restored | Top Gear
Singer has come a long way since its founder Rob Dickinson started turning Porsche 964s into four-wheeled jewellery 12 years ago. But with overwhelming demand from people who want a brand new, old 911 (the waiting list for a car is now four years) it’s outgrown its premises. Which means Singer needs a bigger one. Which it now has: a mega new facility in Torrance, California to hold all of its operations under one roof. And what a place it is. So please slacken your jaw and allow Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage and Singer Vehicle Design’s CEO Mazen Fawaz to be your guide.




The Chrysler Turbine Car: Engineering a Revolution | Full Documentary
70 min.
Starting in the 1950s, Chrysler set out to disrupt the automotive industry with a multimillion-dollar turbine research program. This documentary produced by the Hagerty Drivers Foundation chronicles those efforts and is told from the point of view of the engineers and mechanics that were responsible for the futuristic jet-engine automotive program as well as the historians like Steve Lehto (@stevelehto), Jay Leno (@jaylenosgarage), and Mark Olson (@turbinecar) that have spent decades researching this incredible aspect of American car history.
Mark Olson’s family was one of just 203 that were lucky enough to get the keys to a Chrysler Turbine Car from 1963-1966 as part of Chrysler’s incredible user test program. He drove one of the 55 Italian-bodied Turbine user test cars as a 16 year old and recounts the life-changing experience.
Hear how engineers from modern day turbine manufacturer Williams International have volunteered to work with original Chrysler old timers to help save Jay Leno’s Turbine Car, one of the last running examples from the Chrysler user test program.
This documentary was done in conjunction with the inclusion of Stahl's Automotive Collection's Turbine car (@stahlsauto9002) on the National Historic Vehicle Register in 2022. Along with Jay’s car, it is one of only 9 of those 55 user test cars to still exist and the documentary features a close look at what makes it so special. Through the National Historic Vehicle Register, the Turbine’s history will be documented and kept in the Library of Congress in perpetuity.
