S1·E12 – Supercar Showdown
2007-11-05 • ? min
Jeremy Clarkson travels the planet - from Spain via Strasbourg to Swindon - for the "Supercar Showdown" to beat them all. There's a fight between a prancing horse and a raging bull as topless versions of the Ferrari 430 and Lamborghini Gallardo slug it out. The Gallardo's big cousin, the Murcielago, weighs in too. The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano struts its stuff, and Audi's R8 faces up to the Porsche GT3 as Nurburgring-know-all Sabine Schmitz tokes on the Stig. Clarkson turns into a Formula 1 hero thanks to a Radical SR3 and has a blast in the Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster and the stunning Ascari A10. The line-up of supercars would not be complete without the 1000-horsepower, 252mph Bugatti Veyron, so he blasts off in one of those too. Meanwhile, everything else explodes as Clarkson finds out if there is such a thing as 'too much' turbo power!
