S1·E13 – Thriller
2008-11-01 • ? min
In "Thriller", it's unsurprisingly all about thrills at the wheel. Aston Martin's 'gentleman thug', the DBS, takes on rivals from Italy – including the 240mph Pagani Zonda F Roadster – on the breathtaking roads of the Swiss Alps, and the lightweight Lamborghini Superleggera battles it out on the track with Ferrari's 430 Scuderia. The Porsche 911 turbo gets to strut its stuff on the autobahn too. Clarkson then swaps his racing overalls for a camouflage uniform to join the Marines at the controls of an all-terrain Viking, before using its machine gun to shoot at a Lexus! Then there's the rocket science - Clarkson-style - as a Porsche 944 is fitted with 'rocket launchers'. He also blasts fireworks at a speed camera, has a bit of an accident with a double-decker bus, and drops a 7-tonne diesel engine onto a Highways Agency traffic car!
