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


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 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)

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.

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!!
