Tv motormouth Jeremy Clarkson could be out-foxed in his latest TV stunt.

The Top Gear host is set to challenge the Ledbury Hunt to see if he can beat the hounds in a cross-country race.

What do we reckon he will drive?

vikiradTG2007 · April 10th, 2008, 2:24 PM

Cayenne GTS, I think.

ahpadt · April 10th, 2008, 3:19 PM

Another pointless challenge.

Challenges are fun if they are part of bigger car review. I don't want to see too many of them though.

i'm saying the new Cayene Turbo GTS
mainly because it's just so powerful

or a VW Fox / Cross Fox

NooDle · April 15th, 2008, 1:54 PM

what about a Subaru Forester? Don't they have a new model out?
I don't think they'll do another topic on the Porsche SUVs, it's been done

The GTS is NOT a turbo

Cayenne < Cayenne S < Cayenne GTS < Cayenne Turbo < Cayenne Turbo S

Well..... hasnt been a Turbo S around yet, but should be out when the model's getting common and is about to be booted out with a bang.

Jezzabelle · April 19th, 2008, 10:37 AM

It's the VW Fox. I am sure of it!

Bit more here - still no confirmation of the car though

j8mie · April 21st, 2008, 10:18 AM

It will have to be a off roader, otherwise the "hunt" will be over very quickly. VW haven't made a Fox 4x4 have they?

Alasondro Alegré · April 21st, 2008, 11:02 AM

Yep, looks like they filmed it during the weekend,

Momo63 · April 25th, 2008, 8:18 PM

It would appear to be a Daihatsu http://www.ledburyreporter.co.uk/sea...unt_riders.php
Though the Ledbury Reporter is not exactly the most reliable of papers...

Alasondro Alegré · April 29th, 2008, 5:28 PM

What a magnificently unexciting choice of car! images/smilies/lol.gif

Still, should be a good watch.

Alasondro Alegré · May 11th, 2008, 12:45 PM

Here's yet another article, probably the most revealing so far,

http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/397/255869.html

It confirms that the car was a Daihatsu, and that this will air on July 9. It also mentions Hammond had to take some riding lessons, and, most importantly, hints that the next series will have six episodes.

stiggie · May 11th, 2008, 4:12 PM

Six episodes? images/smilies/cry.gif

klorphil · May 21st, 2008, 3:45 AM

Might be this:

http://www.daihatsu.co.uk/terios/technical/

The only 4x4 model sold in the UK.

dragonboy3000 · June 23rd, 2008, 10:57 AM

We all knew about it from articles and the series 11 preview video showed us part of it.
We knew that it would be richard on horseback and jeremy in a car painted like a fox. What we didnt know is what car they'd be using.
Well after examining the video, it turns out that Jeremy will be driving, something you wouldnt think they would test. It's the second generation, Daihatsu Terios. Here is alink to wiki article on the car:
