a very tough call... the golf gti V is one of my favourites.
one of the best imo was the first slr feature with richard in south africa... the engine/compressor noise was...omg... I had to go to the bathroom :mrgreen:

have to admit that feature was certainnly visually damn good, put the sound of the 355 in and that would be my #1 to :D not that the 430 sounds bad or anything :wink: just perfection was achieved with the 355 to my ear :D

Jeremy's review of the M3 CSL back in season 3.

Amazing noise from the engine, plus driving without any rules, very nice.

Thats a good question :P

Best for me are Jag XKR vs Beemer 645Ci vs Porsche 996 - stunning location and footage + Jeremy, Richard and James fooling around on the beach :shock: :mrgreen:
F430 right after it, excelent footage, music and car and Jeremy funny and entertaning as always.


EDIT: :oops: forgot - BEST is ofcourse M1 vs M5E34 vs M3E30 on sle of man :mrgreen:

No.1

for me its the Pagani Zonda roadster feature by richard,P

I second that nomination.

May i also suggest the trackday supercars feature.... a 360 CS and GT3 RS... both glorious sounding, raw as fuck and beautiful.

That was when TG started getting a better art team, with more stylish shots etc... more of the same please. A 430CS and a 997 GT3 can't be too far away 8)

hmm... this is a tough one

i do think the supercar feature a year ago simply fantastic; and definately the best footage/music/driving for one single episode that seems impossible to out-do.

but, in the case of just reviewing one car; im a lover of the classic review on old TG with Tiff driving the E39 M5... it wasnt long, but it was perfect!

there´s a lot of good ones, but one of the best that i can mention is the one with the Zonda S vs the Murcielago

TT vs 350Z vs Crossfire in Iceland was great and Jeremy's expression in the Enzo was priceless :D

The CGT is my favourite feature by far. Maybe because it's my favourite car ;)

I was forgetting, the one with the Carrera GT is incredible, only hearing the sound of the thing WOW :o

I think my favorite just by actual footage was the 575 and Vanquish S the cinematics were amazing and if I recall it was one of the first to have been shot in their newer style.

and the 360CS and GT3RS was a good shootout.

Wally 118 vs Zonda Roadster
DB9 vs train
612 vs plane
Carrera GT - the howling beast

The F430, the music, the car...Great feature.

I second that, just the first seconds with that nice music in the background and the ferrari drifting :shock: I downloaded this feature (apart from the complete episode) just because of that moment :D


Then ... 612 vs plane, 360CS/GT3RS, Enzo, the Ring and Sabine ... they're countless 8)

hehe, the 575 and Vanquish feature that came first to my mind.

The cinematics were jaw dropping. The slow motion......

and the 360CS and GT3RS was also nice.

Oh, the first Koenigsegg and the original Ford GT40 were also nice 8)

For me it's when they test the enzo, plus the 80's supercars, that was great ! just incredible, all those nice cars, especially the Enzo :D my top 3:

1. Enzo's and the supercars from the 80's
2. 360 CS and GT3 RS
3. Porsche Carrera GT

FIRST Koenigsegg??? I assume that means there's another besides the black CC8S Jeremy drove and reached 174mph in?

That video was one of the first I ever saw of Top Gear and it was the first I ever saw of the Koenigsegg. When I first saw JC deliver the "It's absolutley BRUTAL!" I instantly became a Top Gear fan and made the Koenigsegg my favorite car.

Other car videos that are faves:

Vanquish S vs. 575m (the camera work, music, and Coogan's expressions are priceless)

2nd Cheap Coupe Challenege

I completely agree...
In addition, the Super Power Jeep vs Snowmobile race over a lake in Iceland... I couldn't believe that thing...

My all time favorite has got to be the recent 05' M5 feature. Made the car seem crappy at first, and then when he hit the button the whole review changed.

my favourite top gear feature is test of ariel atom. I didnt see the car before show and i was in shocked because of the performance of the car. 0-100km/h is 3 seconds if you change the gear fast enough.

Id have to agree with just about everything that has already been said but if I had to pick a favourite it would come down to the Enzo/80's supercars feature or one of the Zonda (v Murci or convertible). However for the funniest I reckon the Toyota Hilux.

I love the challenges.....1500 pounds and a lot of imagination...the porsche one, and the one with the xjs etc.. were hilarious and great...
I also loved the ilux that never broke feature

pilone

First one I loved is the review/challenge between Porsche 911 GT3 RS & Ferrari 360 Challenge...
Two awsome cars but in that video you can fell how Porsche is...the best!!
Porsche, don't forget, has 39 hp less than Ferrari...Try to give to RS other 39 hp!!

Porsche rules 8)

For me it had to be the 575 vs Vanquish review although my pick lost. And the TVR tuscan review a few episodes back...excellent camera work. Top Gear is far away from the competition.

Stradale vs. GT3 RS.

Still get all pumped up whenever I watch it. :mrgreen:


Other favourites are the Scaglietti vs. airplane, Enzo, F430 and Carrera GT features.

Ferrari 430 review and 360CS vs GT3 RS

I've seen it a lot of times :lol:

1zippo1
09-19-2005, 11:19 AM
Shit, to be honest I can't really answer this question because there just are soooo many...

If I had to pick a couple, the GT3 vs 360CS is very good and don't forget Tiff's review of the M3 & 996TT. James his best feature was no doubt the Maserati Quattroporté. Jeremy has done so many superb features that I can't tell which one is THE best. The best of Richard are probably the Zonda & Murci Roadster + Porsche GT + TVR R350C.

Some other favorites: M3 CSL, Koenigsegg, Murci vs Zonda, CGT, Toyota pick up truck destruction, ...

gucom
09-19-2005, 11:24 AM
the original McLaren F1 test back in '94, the Ferrari F1 vs F50 test, James in a rally car vs hammond in a bobsled (ohhhhh the look on james' face :D )and so many great others...its hard to decide...
Oh yeah and OFCOURSe the toyota pickup...man that was AWESOME :lol:

AlienDB7
09-19-2005, 01:20 PM
This is a tough question, there're way too many memoriable features on Top Gear.

If I have to pick one, it got to be the jag XKR vs. BMW 7 series vs. Porsche 911 feature with the guys playing on the beach :mrgreen:

Ian_yamaue
09-19-2005, 03:08 PM
Very tough indeed... They present a lot of quality and fun stuff, like the Lotus Exige vs. Apache, or the atempt to destroy a Toyota Hilux, most of the interviews are just hilarious...

The last episode of last year had a "cheap car comparison" that was very funny as they couldn´t find even one car that was even close to good. The Enzo, SLR, CGT and Ferrari 360 CS vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS reviews were awesome aswell.

I think of all of the 6 seasons I watched the one that made the lasting impression was the CGT.
That howl and Jeremy's reactions are classic. 8)

09-25-2005, 07:10 PM
hmmm best feature...thats a good one.been thinkin about it and one feature that i loved and watched quite a lot of times,its the Aston Martin DB9 vs the train.loved that feature.along with that i liked the long test they did of the twin turbo diesel audi that jeremy drove 800miles on a tank.

also the CGT was a good feature and the GT3 RS vs the CS.

but as i said,the best for me had to be the Aston Martin DB9 vs train feature. :D
