In one of our most spectacular challenges yet Richard Hammond travels to Cyprus where he pits the new Porshe Cayenne Turbo S against the RAF's freefall parachute display team, The Red Devils. Jeremy Clarkson employs a top interior designer to convert a Mercedes S Class into the ultimate luxury car - with suprising results. The BMW Z4M flexes it's muscles when the Stig power tests it on the track and the star in the reasonably priced car is Hollywood A lister - Ewan McGregor.

This one is gonna be good. I like Ewan and the BMW seems to be one hairy car.

Kebab gud · May 15th, 2006, 05:48 PM

wow .. a big star this time...
soo .. we have to wait untill after the Worldcup to se the True lap time of the koenigsegg?

Evo7 · May 15th, 2006, 08:38 PM

Another episode with hardly any James May, it's like he is only a part-time presenter now.

SL65 · May 15th, 2006, 11:47 PM

Yeah looks a good episode. Was reading about the S-Class segment in the preview and I think Clarkson will make it very entertaining...

Oh yeah, Z4M + Stig = images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Ewan should be interesting - became a big fan after watching Long Way Round. Jezza's take on the "ultimate luxury car" should be a laugh.

Hang on, I assume its a second hand Benz S Class? I think I saw this of www.topgear.com and its preview gallery

When do they do the New S Class with its stupid COMAND system and night vision TV dash-board screen thingy

arsemonky · May 17th, 2006, 07:17 AM

I want to see the new S Class with its night vision thingy.

On the old S Class, I heard he put a fireplace in the back, and he forgot to bolt together all the furniture and gave it to James and Richard

canessjc · May 17th, 2006, 03:20 PM

It looks like a good episode indeed. I want to see that Z4M.

The only thing is that I would also like to see new stars in the "star in a reasonably-priced car" segment, maybe both a newcomer and a star who raced the Liana at the same time.

About James May barely appearing, it seems as if the dog is appearing more than he is! He doesn't seem that interested in cars or speed, maybe that's why.

Izari · May 17th, 2006, 03:51 PM

i cant wait for the Z4M
