Mercedes’ SL Black is a prime candidate, as is Corvette ZR1 and Audi’s new R8 V10.
Add to that the Lotus Evora, Ford’s astonishing Focus RS against Hammond in the Megane R26R, the new BMW Z4, and an epic shoot out between the Jag XFR and the M5. Hot enough for you?

ZR1 should be awesome.

All good, but I want to see Hammond review his own Morgan Aeromax. In a demob suit, in black and white, smoking a pipe.

Think May might have a crack at the Megane R26R - he said during a news segment last year that he rather liked it. More Stig in a stripy jumper possibly?

Forget the above - just noticed it will be Hammond in the Megane. I'll get my coat.

I'll tell you what they are gonna say:

M5 is faster, better steering, better brakes, better car overall and they all would buy the Jag over it.

The list looks okay.

Just as long as Clarkson doesn't review any more Ferrari's. I'm sick and tired of listening to him explaining about the different modes of the traction control...WE GOT IT ALREADY!
