Top Gear magazine have done it again! They've included a stunning promo DVD for the new Jaguar XK and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage with the latest issue.

The DVD, which is shot in the Top Gear style (close-ups of design details faded in and out, speeded-up clouds, occasional dark corners) features laps of the 'Ring, roadtesting, interior shots as well as behind-the-scenes featurettes.

On both promo films, it sounds like Richard Hammond may be narrating but in the Aston V8 section there is a shot of a bespectacled Aston engineer and Sabine driving around the 'Ring.

She "interviews" him (I use that word lightly) about the V8's stats and, based on this, I sure hope she doesn't replace JC in the next season of TG.

Anyway, the overall structure of the DVD is as follows:

1. Jaguar
A. Promotional film
i) ALC Concept
ii) Testing Prototype
iii) New Jaguar XK8
B. Extras
i) Design film (history of Jags, sketches, etc.)
ii) Stats page

2. Aston Martin
A. Promotional film
i) The New Vantage
ii) Testing
iii) At the 'Ring
iv) Details
B. Extras
i) On The Road (driving around English countryside)
ii) DB9 and Vanquish (the other DB Cars)
iii) Playing in the Snow (snow testing in Sweden/Finland)
iv) Stats

I wonder if these films will be the basis for the Season 7 reviews of the Jaguar XK8 and Aston V8?

Here are some pics so hold you over until somebody DivX's the disc and posts something on mininova. You can also watch a clip of the DVD online.
