Anyone has any idea where were those deserted towns and all? Wow that's really surreal..
so still no Golf VII (GTI) -.- though it got mentioned
Who knows what Ferrari might say? "No more car for BBC!"

They couldn't care less. Even if TG had totalled that Ferrari, there are things like insurance *and* the fact that the whole *show* (not just a segment of it) was basically one big Ferrari-commercial.

On a side note: I really want to know more about that empty airport and the empty village and suburb they shot in. Those places really didn't look all that abandoned.. more like (as they pointed out) a setting from a Zombie-flick. Heck, that airport still had stuff like seats, office equipment and monitors in it .. it looked like you could easily re-open it within a few days.

Do you think? I thought it was a big commercial for the McLaren, like the review some seasons ago. Why they felt the need to tell in the news segment that the McLaren is faster than the Ferrari? Also, the pictures thing at the beginning (the only thing that spoilt the episode in my opinion). was meant to say that the McLaren is showing off more that the Ferrari.
Irrelevant. You still get 45 minutes of gorgeous shots of the Ferrari blasting through beautiful scenery. It's the overall exposure of the product that counts, not the conclusion the presenters come to. Unless the reviewers completely bash the product, (basically telling people they'd be stupid to buy it), it's mission accomplished for the manufacturer/PR-guys.
Yes, you could argue that the film was indeed a commercial for all three cars - and in a sense, it is. But: In the end they all say they'd buy the Ferrari regardless of their "results", so I'd say it came off best in the piece.
And (as I've pointed out above), there's still such a thing as insurance. And the fact that a mult-billion-?uro company like Fiat couldn't care less about the cost of replacing a piece of bodywork or even an entire car. And I'm also pretty sure that losses/damages due to ham-fisted car-journalists are calculated into their PR-budget. Those things happen all the time at press-events and to cars they loan to magazines for reviews.

8/10 ... minus 1 for using the Ferrari 458 again.
your name is audi, you drive an audi, you have it in your avatar and you still have the need to comment on the fucking audi from the last decade?
From the pictures, it looks like "Francis Drake circuit" (Someone turn this into a real race, please! ) is based on "Ciudad Valdeluz"
http://desertedplaces.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-spanish-ghost-town-of-ciudad.html
" Ciudad Valdeluz is a suburb 60 kilometers (37 miles) northeast of Madrid, Spain. It was meant to be city of 30,000, but only 1,000 people took up residence there after construction halted in 2008 with 75% of the city unfinished due to the economic downturn.
Today, Ciudad Valdeluz resembles a ghost town with the few residents being served by a supermarket, a corner shop and a medical center open twice a week. A security patrol watches over the deserted streets and the empty buildings. "
Sad...
