On this week's Top Gear Jeremy finds out what is faster, a rock climber or the new Audi RS4? Richard and James have a new take on radio controlled cars;A trip down memory lane with the story of British Racing Green and the new car from Porsche - the Cayman.

how is the RS4 supposed to compete against a rock climber??
these ep's are actually pretty cool even though there are only gonna be 6 of them. what happened to the Star in Reasonably priced car?

Uuh the Cayman S finally! And the RS4 will be nice to see. Sounds like a great episode and as it's an Top Gear it also WILL be a great episode. Hopefully anyway images/smilies/smile.gif

bartboy, easily. The rock climber uses the shortest route to top of the mountain while RS4 drives the long and twisty road.

Blythy · November 3rd, 2005, 06:06 PM

RS4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mmmm looks like a good episode of Top Gear, RS4 + A James/Richard competition with "RC Cars". Why does it have to be so far away images/smilies/sad.gif

At least it will give me some entertainment for the last day before I get my Xbox360 images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Ethan · November 4th, 2005, 05:27 AM

Nice for the RS4

Blythy · November 4th, 2005, 07:18 PM

according to the mag, the RC comp. will be against a 13 year old girl.

SL65 · November 5th, 2005, 12:23 AM

Radio controled car segment should be a Top Gear classic images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I was reading a spoiler about it in another thread and it just has that spark about it...

RS4 should be another uniquly Top Gear review - FG can never do this!

pacostacos · November 7th, 2005, 10:57 PM

I have been looking forward to their revue of the new RS4 for months

Blythy · November 7th, 2005, 11:11 PM

the RS4 vs the rock climber sounds insane but it's apparently 1000ft vs 60 miles of road.

sounds even more interesting.

bihus · November 8th, 2005, 12:33 AM

I'm afraid it will be a crap review. I want to see a good review of the RS4, not some nonsense comparison.

what better way to test it? You'll probably get more out of the RS4's ability than on a track IMO.

bihus · November 8th, 2005, 03:39 AM

I already know quattro is great on snow and stuff like that... Let's wait and see.

normal quattro, in both forms, has mixed results on a track. some have understeer, some dont.

Jimi Hendrix · November 9th, 2005, 11:26 PM

They could have compared the Audi against the Impreza Sti 2006 driven by....for instance, Petter Solberg. And the EVO IX driven by...G. Panizzi images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Nah, it would be the perfect car to take on the Isle of Man, instead of the M6.

Most expensive BMW (big luxury sports coupe) vs RS4? images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

It must be M3, but it's clear that M3 will lose images/smilies/sad.gif
