You wait ages for an 800+ bhp super GT, then two turn up at once. It’s the Aston/Ferrari showdown we’ve all been waiting for: 12 Cilindri vs Vanquish. In this episode of the Top Gear Magazine Podcast, Jack Rix, Rowan Horncastle, and Ollie Marriage grill Ollie Kew about his latest adventure to Italy, where he and Jethro Bovingdon spent a day testing two of the finest front-engined, rear-wheel-drive machines on the planet. Tough day at the office, that. The Ferrari? A masterpiece of minimalism – no turbos, no hybrid, just a howling V12 and some clever active aero. The Aston? The most powerful production car it’s ever built. Let the battle commence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Have you ever wondered what a billionaire car enthusiast gets up to on the weekend? Well, wonder no more. Ollie Marriage has been to Spain and peeked behind the curtain at The Supercars Owners Circle – an exclusive fraternity of discerning car collectors that, refreshingly, don’t mind getting their ultra-exclusive cars out of their temperature-controlled humidor garages and take them for a good old thrashing.

It’s that time of year again when we name the finest automobiles on planet earth and adorn them with a TG rosette. Yep, the votes have been counted, the arguments have simmered down and the results are in. Unsurprisingly, the class of ’22 is an absolute belter, with everything from single-seater fan cars to retro EV buses, and off-road supercars to trusty hot hatches. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s back – the most important automotive event of the year : The Top Gear Awards. This is where we name the best cars in the world, slap shiny TG rosettes on them, and remind you why being a petrolhead is still worth it. The votes are in, the arguments are down to a low simmer, and the winners? Oh, they’re spicy. This year, we’ve got hybrid hypercars leading the charge (literally), like the Lamborghini Temerario, alongside all-out combustion greatness like the McLaren 750S – think peak V8 madness, distilled and detonated on a track. Meanwhile, SUVs and crossovers are evolving faster than smartphone updates. Hyundai’s ludicrously handsome Santa Fe proves that practical doesn’t have to be boring, while the Dacia Duster answers every question you didn’t know you were asking. For EV fans, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. The Renault 5 shows it’s possible to blend affordability, nostalgia, and actual personality in a segment that sometimes feels like a kitchen appliance showroom. And if you want a peek into the future? There’s the McMurtry Spéirling – a car so fast it’s basically a legalised warp drive. So charge your glasses (or plug them in) and raise a toast to the cars, the chaos, and a car industry that refuses to back down. This year’s lineup is as thrilling as ever, and trust us – you’re going to want to hear all about it. So tune in as Jack, Rowan and the two Ollies discuss this year's winners.

Looks like a miniature Batmobile, sounds like a TIE fighter from Star Wars, goes like the absolute clappers. And we’ve finally got behind the wheel of the McMurtry Spéirling – the car last seen kicking up dust and shredding hillclimb records at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. But it has been tinkered with and is now available to buy for a cool £984k. The new Spéirling Pure comes with all the goodies Max Chilton deployed at Goodwood. That means a twin-electric-motor setup powered by a 60kWh battery system detonating 745kW of electrons (or a nice, round 1,000bhp) on the rear axle. Together with a “patented downforce on demand system” and a scarcely believable kerbweight of under 1,000kg, this thing is capable of serious numbers. Not just 190mph flat out, but also the fact it’ll pull 3G through the corners and be able to lap Silverstone 10 times at proper flat-out pace, then recharge in 20 minutes to do it all over again. And Ollie Marriage has experienced it for himself. So, Rowan Horncastle and Ollie Kew grill him to find out what this Cheat Mode car is really like to drive. Learn more about your ad choices.

Top Gear is coming to America! Well, technically, we’ve already been... to film a new YouTube series called TG2: Cars and Stripes, which you can watch now. The premise is simple: two British blokes – Jack Rix (TG magazine’s editor-in-chief) and Jethro Bovingdon (renowned car journalist and presenter of Top Gear America) – driving American cars... in, er, America. Prepare for highs and lows, EVs and dirty great V8s, races and challenges, driving skills and driving spills with some friendly-ish armchair debate in-between. In the first part of a two-part episode, Rowan Horncastle, Jack Rix and Jethro Bovingdon discuss the series, including Singer’s ACS, the Ford Bronco DR, Ruffian Mustang, Mustang Shelby GT500-H, Bronco Raptor, Hummer EV, going to skid school with Travis Pastrana and much more!   Learn more about your ad choices.

There has never been an open-top version of the Chiron, as there was with the Veyron. But we’re not sad, because rather than merely cutting a hole in the roof to make one, Bugatti has instead given us this: the W16 Mistral. The jaw-dropping exterior is bespoke, just 99 will be made, and the price for admission is £5m. Production starts right about now, and every single one was sold out before it was revealed to the public back in 2022. It’s also the last-ever road-going Bugatti to use a W16 engine, before we move on to the V16-powered Tourbillon. And in this case, the quad-turbo, 8.0-litre, W16 engine goes out on a high, in the same 1600hp guise as used in the record-breaking 304mph Chiron Super Sport 300+. Speaking of which… when the roofless Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse hit 254mph in 2013, it did it with a mere 1200hp. With over a decade of engineering advancements behind it, including an extra 400hp, how fast might the W16 Mistral go? To find out, Top Gear joined Bugatti at the Papenburg proving ground in Germany, and snuck in a little go of our own. Over to Deputy Editor Ollie Kew, who, in this episode of the Top Gear Magazine Podcast tells Jack Rix, Rowan Horncastle and Ollie Marriage what it's like to be on set of a new World Record attempt.

In this week’s episode of Top Gear Magazine Podcast, we’re talking slippery cars. Having come back from Audi’s ‘Windkanal’ (that’s a wind tunnel, to you and me) Top Gear Magazine’s Deputy Editor, Ollie Kew, is our guide. He went to see just how far aerodynamics have come in nearly a century, so took the Auto Union Type C ‘Stromlinie’, the innovative Audi 100, and the new Audi A6-etron Avant, to the company’s wind tunnel for a little show ‘n’ tell. Now he’s going to try and explain his findings to Rowan Horncastle and Ollie Marriage before they all discuss if any car designed around the wind has ever been cool. Learn more about your ad choices.

Not one but two new Porsche 911 GT3s are upon us, both a regular be-winged car and the more subtle Touring model. And for once, the headline news isn’t the power, the peak revs or the Nürburgring lap time, but how practical it is. That’s right, because for the first time in the 25-year history of the GT3, it’s being offered with back seats. It’s only for the Touring, but that addition alone will be enough to start The Internet chattering about whether this is ‘all the car you’ll ever need’. However, if kids, or at least taking your kids with you, isn’t your thing, then worry not. The back seats are merely an option, and the non-Touring GT3 can’t be had with them at all. Plus, if you’re the sort of Porsche purest who hates weight, you can double down on that ethos with either a Weissach pack for the GT3 or a Leichtbau (aka Lightweight) pack for the Touring. As for what else is new (and there are a lot of detailed, GT3 RS-inspired changes) then join Top Gear Magazine’s Associate Editor Tom Ford, for an in-depth walkaround of both new GT3s with Andreas Preuninger, Porsche’s Director of GT Cars… Learn more about your ad choices.

Christian von Koenigsegg is a glutton for engineering punishment. His Swedish hypercar company currently builds the Jesko (which has just set the 0-400km/h-0 record) and it’ll soon start delivering the new CC850 and Gemera to customers. That’s three distinct models, each with their own head-scratchingly complex innovations. And yet, amongst all this, he said “yes” to a request from a customer who wanted their older-model Agera RS melded with the best bits of a Jesko and CC850 to create an absolute one-off. Many engineering headaches later we have this, the Chimera, which blends an Agera RS with the 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine from a Jesko and the fiendishly complex manual-cum-automatic gearbox from the CC850.
