The grand tour

[willisit]

The Holy Trinity thing I noticed was very similar to the Chris Harris (with Tiff and Marino Franchitti) thing from a while back - except in that one the P1 came out as easily the fastest (by easily, I mean more than a couple of tenths!). Something to do with the fact it had a full track mode (that dropped the ride height 50mm and also engaged other electronic trickery I think) that the other two don't have.

It was filmed in the same location, during the same weekend (August 2015 I believe.. or thereabouts). I think it was a "one off" for a few motoring mags/TV shows.

I've always been a P-car man, so the 918 does it for me. I've never "like" Ferraris, but they're obviously very special. I'm sold on the P1, but, these are halo hyper cars so it's all just bedroom wall poster stuff anyway!

Must have better script writers at Amazon!

Richard Porter is still with them; he was the TG script editor. His book is a hoot - get it for Christmas.

Thought episode 3 was the best so far. Some of the jokes were rehashed from older episodes of Top Gear but there was enough in it to keep me watching. The bit with Celebs getting killed is played out already and actually is beginning to annoy me.
And as others have said, that Hellcat was immense.

Yeah I'm bored with the celebrity death thing already, hopefully that'll change but I doubt it

Just watched the trailer for the next episode and it looks like it's featuring the Mustang. About time!

I hope they review the performance pack model, I drove a friends non PP and it felt a little soft.

Performance pack ain't a thing in the uk so I would highly doubt it.

Edit- Oh wait, I think all uk models have the performance pack. I though you meant the power packs - could be wrong though. Not sure

all the stangs that went to europe are already loaded with PP and premium

In theory yes, in practice no. It isn't the complete PP (just wheels and brakes I think) and RHD cars don't have the premium interior.

We have parts of it (leather) just not other parts (Like coloured stitching, etc, etc....) It's a bit of a pain but i'd rather it than the tiny rubbish interior the stock car gets ;).

We get PP breaks, Wheels, and the gear rotaring, we also don't have the small lip spoiler on our cars which is part of the Performance pack... We also have the PP lower grille as standard.

Premium interior, is a bit half n half, it's more '3/4 Premium'

Hope that clears it all up.

I'm sure [MENTION=6364]Twin Turbo[/MENTION] can correct me!

RHD cars do have the Premium trim but what they don't get is the Premier trim.


Premier adds soft touch upper door panel, soft touch (and white stitched) dash and white stitch (better quality) leather on the seats. Annoyingly, LHD Euro cars do get this!

I'll see if I can find the photos later, that one of our European friends provided

mmmmm soft touch.....

You knew this didn't you, it was in your head and you didn't have to look anything up! Its partly admirable and partly disturbing.................but for now I will settle on admirable owing to the season of goodwill.
