Default Cars in the next Top Gear Series

What car are you folks hoping/looking forward to in the next season of Top Gear?

For me, I really want them to test the new CTS-V - even though that is wishful thinking - and the new M5.


I hope this isn't a repost question, I didn't see it in my search if it is.

F430 and MC12 would be nice. I'd say the CCR, but when discussing upcoming supercars that could take the Enzo the only thing they mentioned was the unfinished Veyron.

The CCR may not be quite as managable through the corners, but they have some really nice straights.

Yeah but it was the 650hp CC and not the 800hp CCR. But i agree on the F430 and M5.

Edit: how could i forget the Sagaris

I wish they could test an '05 Saleen S7, the 750hp one. I've never seen a review of it.

They are going to have to acknowledge the new production car speed record, so I am sure they will want to test the CCR if egg lends them one. I think JC will be happy, he didn't seem to like the F1 that much.

i agree, that would be fantastic

other than that, I'd like them to test the new Z06 Vette (when available, though i'm not sure when that is happening/happened), F430, MC12, AMV8, Ascari KZ1, and maybe they should bring in a Reliant Robin for fun

We read in EVO that JC drove the Koenigsegg CCR so I think we can hope to see it in this series I also think the M5 and the F430 will be there ... Even if they usually prefer to test cars on their own test track and the M5 is not yet available in UK .

I'd like them to test the MC12 and the AMV8 (which is almost certain they will). Te Saleen would be great, but it will never happen on Top Gear

No, seriously I want to see Clarkson test drive the 6.0 Holden (GTO). He only got to drive the 5.7 last seasons and loved it so. I can’t wait to see him with the 400HP version!!

However, what I want to see are the Nürburgring videos... especially when Sabine tries to break the 10 minutes barrier with a van! And the usual DB9 vs EuroTrain or Scaglietti vs airplane... I wonder what will they do this season.
Well for the MC12 i'm not sure either, yesterdays 5th gear had hairy tom with frank mountains, which was also in Top Gear mag, for which he also writes!! For sure after this and the buying a ferrari F1 car feature, he and hairy tom seem to get on very well, so maybe TG would have to find another one? Whatever i'm sure theres plenty to come, by the time they air they will have been off about 5 months!!
