Fifth Gear
Motoring magazine. Tiff Needell drives a Williams Formula 1 Grand Prix car; Jason Plato gets a world's first test-drive in the £380,000 Pagani Zonda F; Jon Bentley investigates killer signposts; Vicki Butler-Henderson races a classic Evo 6 against the very latest Evo 9; and Tom Ford hunts 4x4-hater Ken Livingstone in the new Lexus Hybrid off-roader

*****POTENTIAL SPOILERS HERE*****

The Pagani Zonda feature will be the only interesting feature in this upcoming show and it's a shame they haven't made any conclusions after the criticism of the last serious involving crash tests :( Some topics will forever remain boring and they should just drop the case once and for all.

sounds promising in words, lets hope they don't let us down :)
Putting Tif in a F1 car should put some emotion into his commentary for once, or maybe he'll just be quiet and let us hear the noise.
Tom always does some funny stuff with 4x4's, so I'm looking forward to it :)

Sounds like another awesome video to me, can't wait to see the Tiff in a newer F1. (The last time I saw him in an F1 car is that Ferrari Speical of Top Gear)

As for the Zonda Review, I am totally with you Dani, can't wait to hear it.

The Zonda F is definetely gonna be cool and I find it rather interesting to see what the classic Evo6 can do about the new Evo9.

This safety feature isnt looking too promising...

Well, I don't know if Jason or Tiff ( I can't watch the show) has tested the car in a track, but drifting a 602 bhp in a thight italian road must be scary. And maybe that is a pre-production unit so they have to be careful

In that case he has no right saying its the best supercar on the market, since he didnt seem to take it to the limit....

Arghhh, I hope tested the Zonda F properly :x 6 min is not that bad if they are correctly used :wink:

But you can take a car to the limit being smooth, if you're powersliding it, maybe you're just trying to be spectacular

Tiff did that with the Murcielago and Zonda S last time. Don't see why not for the Zonda F :wink:

It only got out of shape once and he didnt seem to be pushing that hard through the corners. How a car behaves once the limits of adhesion are breached is extremely important...

Believe it or not, the Evo 6 beat the evo9, and the evo9 was the FQ320, compared to the 270bhp the Evo6 had. I'm sure the Evo6 was modded tho, the exhaust was hugh, and they said it was a import from japan so who knows what was done to it. I just find it hard to believe myself. If this shoot out is actually true, the name Evolution means nothing.

Well a nice episode, but i can't help always thinking Top Gear would have done this better :lol: The zonda test was pretty damn good, plato doing a much more entertaining test than his feature in the first epsiode, just the noise and the urge when he hit the loud pedal was stunning, just it felt squeezed in didn't really come to a satisfactory conclusion. add 3 or 4 mins on to the first tests and it would be the perfect format for the fifth gear style i think.

Of course this would also include getting rid of the depressing and boring crash tests and banishing jon bentley to the gadget show where he belongs. Liked the fact that the test went a bit wrong anyway, always good to see slightly embarassed guys in suits trying to cover up problems :P

The chasing ken livingstone thing was a nice attempt at humour but well it failed for me, if this is as good as they can do then stop trying to be Top gear in this respect and concetrate on the cool tests IMO, still well done for trying something different i suppose!

Evo 6 vs evo9, hmmmmm why is it that as car's get older they become softer :bah: still a damn good car though and a resonably close result, viks certainly enjoyed herself laughing orgasms as usual :P

As for the M5 vs Williams BMW, well started off quite promising, resonably interesting stuff about the fitness required these days and it was all quite specatacular in the end especially Tiff's reaction at the end!! :lol: I was left feeling it was a little pointless but really can't complain much higher budget so far it seems and far more entertainment IMO, keep it up :D

i will only review the features that i saw

zondaF- too bad 1 hour show, adn they could only feature zonda for 5 mins..that is sad..the sounded car nice and all.. but the review just not that indept to me.. and he didnt redline the damn car. if it was JC.. defintly will hear teh car redline

evo6 vs evo9.. pretty boring..i just find viki boring.. and the 5th gear laps stuff boring

m5 vs f1...this was prett good. we get to see how the driver get train and stuf... seems like tiff was affraid to drive the f1 car hard
