Here's the Topgear Austrailia report and track test of the Granturismo S. It actually beat the C63,M3 and SL63 on the lap board.

Awesome car. That is on the 'will own one day soon' list, for sure. Would it be possible for us to petition the BBC and ask them to switch Clarkson for the Aussie show. Compare a Clarkson review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biGxDOWHGlg

He could have just said, "it's a soft Grand Tourer, but there will be a more sporty one on the way I am sure, ala the 4200/GranSport"...but no, that wouldn't have been hilariously funny :(  Nice old F1 footage though, clearly wasted on Clarkson.

Clarkson's there for the cheap laughs, funny face and stereotypical comments. Those things have made him rich though ...

Its really just a general entertainment show now, but now with an bigger audience and more £££. I wouldn't worry about what they say, on last weeks episode they said that the Lamborghini 670SV was "uncool" . What cr@p.

That Austrailian show was better, more like a true motoring show than a bunch of laughs.

what a car.

and what a toss it makes clarkson sound with his comments concerning its look.

on any objective analysis how can the GT / GTS be said to be ugly?

It is arguably the most beautiful car made by anyone for a very very long time.

They should have had him drive an S.

Much as i like jezza's banter most of the time , he'd do better to leave testing flappy paddles  to others, he plainly cant drive them , Stig didn't seem to have any problems ,


regards loz

Great review but i found the whole ozzie bit at the end a bit much. real cliche of an aussie, the way they talked, who they were dressed. I expected to hear good bowling shane at any moment!
