FIRST DRIVE: BMW M5 Touring – Now It Makes Sense!
The future is heavy. So heavy that the new hybrid BMW M5 saloon weighs 35kg more than the non-hybrid X5 M SUV. And yet, could adding another 40kg – to turn M5 saloon into M5 Touring – suddenly make it the fast Five you want? See, a 2.5-tonne super-saloon doesn’t really work from a dynamic point of view. But, seen through the lens of fast, practical transport, can a booted version of the M5 makes sense? Sure, the M5 Touring is 75kg heavier than the equivalent M Division SUV (no, really!) but a lower centre of gravity will forever be a winner. Then there’s the kudos of driving a hot wagon, too. Is then, the M5 Touring the M5 to have? Over to Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WANT MORE TOP GEAR?

Driving the incredible McLaren GTR trio: F1, P1 and Senna | Henry Catchpole - The Driver’s Seat
Driving one McLaren GTR would make for an amazing day. Getting to drive all three is nigh-on unbelievable. Only the F1, the P1 and the Senna have ever had the GTR treatment in McLaren’s history. Even fewer have been converted to drive on the road as well as the racetrack, but all three in this film have been through Lanzante’s workshop, meaning they can mingle with regular traffic. With matching liveries and a couple of Long Tails, it makes for quite the sight. In this latest episode of The Driver’s Seat, Henry Catchpole tells the GTR story with the help of Ray Bellm, the man who started it all. We delve into how the McLaren F1 road car became a race car that won Le Mans at the first attempt in 1995. What bargain did Ron Dennis make? How did J.J. Lehto get the best from the GTR? How did Bellm end up with two F1s in La Sarthe in 1997? It’s a fascinating tale. Jump forward 20 years and you have the modern McLaren GTRs, here painted in tribute to the F1’s Gulf Davidoff livery. There are other nods to the older car inside each one as well, but the P1 and Senna both bring their own characters to the party too. With 1080bhp the P1 is insanely fast (even after the fury of the short-geared, sequential shift F1) and arguably the most fluidly beautiful of the trio. Meanwhile, the Senna GTR has a modern race car feel to it and for the reason behind that you need to look at the car which was unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow in 2018… After driving around the old Top Gear test track for the day, Dean Lanzante then sat down with us to explain the reasons for and the work that goes into road-converting a GTR. There are legislative, heritage and comfort tightropes to be walked to greater and lesser degrees with all three. But the experience of driving a GTR on the road is worth the effort. Just remember to shift all the way down the F1’s sequential ‘box before you come to a stop! We hope that you enjoy the film and the stories in it. If the sound of a GTR downshift has inspired you and you’d like to show your support, then please do subscribe to the channel and give the film a thumbs up. It really helps.

2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SV 4.4 AT MHEV iAWD - Sound, Interior and Exterior Design in Detail. Subscribe. Special thanks to: https://www.instagram.com/jlr_lviv/ Watch This Next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D52iODMu8G8&list=UULFgV6iVN6IdBvGXD3tqoUmKA The Range Rover Sport SV is the most powerful and dynamic Range Rover Sport to date, combining high performance with the hallmark refinement and design of Range Rover. Featuring advanced performance technology, it includes a suspension system built for ultimate control and a sensory audio setup with wellness-enhancing features. The Range Rover Sport SV is powered by a 4.4-litre Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 engine, producing 635 PS (467 kW) at 6,000-7,000 rpm and 750 Nm of torque from 1,800-5,855 rpm—a power boost over the previous 5.0-litre V8. This setup enables the SV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 3.8 seconds (3.6 seconds with Dynamic Launch), with a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). Aided by innovations such as 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheels (a world first on a production vehicle), Carbon Ceramic Brakes, and standard aerodynamic upgrades, it saves up to 76 kg in weight. Reflecting Range Rover’s modern luxury, the Range Rover Sport SV is initially available only to select clients through an invitation-only SV EDITION ONE. This exclusive edition combines premium features, colors, and finishes, with custom branding on the front splitter, center console, treadplates, and puddle lamps. Technical Specifications for the Range Rover Sport SV P635: Transmission: Automatic Driveline: All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Engine capacity: 4,395 cc Cylinders/Valves: 8 / 4, arranged longitudinally Bore/Stroke: 89 mm / 88.3 mm Compression ratio: 10.5:1 WLTP Fuel Consumption (l/100 km, mpg) Low: 19.7-20.3 (14.4-13.9) Medium: 11.4-12.2 (24.8-23.2) High: 9.7-10.4 (29.2-27.3) Extra High: 10.8-11.5 (26.3-24.6) Combined: 11.7-12.5 (24.1-22.7) Fuel Tank Capacity: 90 liters The Range Rover Sport SV rides 10-25 mm lower than other Range Rover Sport models, depending on the selected drive mode, with its 6D Dynamics suspension paired with advanced chassis and suspension systems. Custom SV-tuned settings are applied to All-Wheel Steering and Torque Vectoring by Braking, delivering a sportier feel, especially in the new SV Mode.

The Carbon Ceramic Brakes reduce unsprung weight by 34 kg compared to standard iron brake discs, contributing to improved responsiveness. The braking system features eight-piston Brembo Octyma front calipers with a unique cross-piston arrangement, available in custom colors like Yellow, Red, Carbon Bronze, and Black. The optional 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheels, a first for any production vehicle, reduce weight by almost 9 kg per corner, enhancing handling and ride quality while meeting rigorous Range Rover durability standards. Drivers can activate SV Mode to elevate the vehicle’s dynamic capabilities, optimizing steering, transmission, throttle, exhaust note, and 6D Dynamics suspension, lowering the vehicle by an additional 15 mm. SV Mode also activates the TracDSC stability control, allowing the driver to fully explore the vehicle’s balance and agility. Inside, the Range Rover Sport SV debuts the Body and Soul Seat (BASS) system, providing a tactile audio experience from SUBPAC™ that allows front-seat occupants to feel the music. This is paired with the 29-speaker, 1430W Meridian Signature Sound System and features wellness programs designed to promote relaxation by enhancing heart rate variability (HRV). The Price of the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SV is expected to start at $180,000 USD and can reach up to $200,000 USD depending on trim and options.

Ferrari 12Cilindri vs Aston Martin Vanquish: Super GT Battle!
Once upon a time the McLaren F1 boasted a mind-bending 627hp and was the pinnacle of the supercar world. Yet here we are in late 2024 with a Ferrari 12Cilindri and an Aston Martin Vanquish that each sport around two hundred horsepower more than the iconic Big Mac! In an era when combustions engines keep being read their last rites, that we’ve got two big twelve-cylinder motors not only alive, but producing ever most preposterous amounts of power, is a reason to celebrate. Which we could do – but when two so-called ‘super GTs’ arrive so quickly one after the other, rather than let them rest on their laurels we’d sooner find out which was best. So, before the snow and ice of winter descended upon Italy, we took a yellow Ferrari and a red Aston Martin to a rather special location.

FIRST DRIVE: Alpine A290 – New Hot Hatch Champion?
The A290 is Alpine’s second coming after the splendid A110 sports car – and it could scarcely be more of a change! Joining the family alongside the (ageing but brilliant) turbocharged, mid-engined, rear-drive sports car is… a front-wheel drive, electric hot hatchback. Yes, yes, we know EVs haven’t quite hit the mark with enthusiasts yet. But hot hatches are few and far between these days, and the A110 was stand-out special, so we should both be excited and give Alpine credit for bucking a gloomy trend. How then, does the Alpine A290 stack up?
