I just finished watching it at I think it's better than the last one, allthough Jeremy has really developed an extrodinary ability to contradict himself, and he doesn't bother checking facts regarding perfomance that well either.
Most of it is concentrated around the R8, GT3 and V8 Vantage bit. Firstly I can't see what's so great about the way the R8 looks, I think it simply just looks like a wider, lower and longer verson of a TT (nice car but nothing special) with some vulgar daytime running LED added to liven it up a little bit, much like a "council house at christmas". While the R8 might look nice and modern, if not a bit boring today I'm very certain it will age badly and fade away while the 997 will be elevated to classic status, like it's predecessors. Yes, I have seen both the R8 and the GT3 in real life and the R8 is definatey the forgettable one. I remeber from my trip to London this autumn one came down Oxford street reving it's engine by the lights and nobody could be bothered, while the guards red GT3 was a real headturner.
The noise the R8 makes is also this typical unexciting generic V8 rumble most german V8s make, can't hear what's special about that. Then there is the perfomance claims, while the GT3 is miles ahead of the V8 Vantage in therms of over all perfomance, the R8 isn't. Try 7:48 (GT3), 8:03 (V8 Vantage) and (8:04) R8 on the Nordscheife (

Then there was the GT3 crash, I'd say he did that on purpose. The last time he drove a GT3 he praised it for being forgiving and playful, and that was the 996 without PSM. Then crashing the new one which is regarded as the pinnacle of driver involvement, fell and adjustability in therms of handling seems a bit odd. Then I really couldn't see the point of ruining that perfectly nice Alpine A610 Turbo.
And finally, I'm starting getting fed up with the Veyron now.
