5th Gear (2002) s22e01 Episode Script
Series 22, Episode 1
Hallo and welcome to Fifth Gear This is gonna be a very special show We staging the most exciting "car vs plane" race ever To give the new porsche boxster s the tougest test Jason races the Limousine that faster than the super car his is quick Jonny went to Norway to see how the new Ford Focus ST handles in one of the greatest road in the world Just want to take off the whole time And Tiff finds out which tires are going to save you next time it rains But first,let me introduce you to these bad boys This is the largest civilian jet display team in the world Basitive France,the 7 pilots use precision flying techniques take them wingtip to wingtip at 500mph The team fly 39 fight jets They can produce nearly 2tones of frust and pull up to HG in the ultimate test of speed and precision I've taken one of them on in the greatest car vs plane race you've ever seen But first we need to choose one of the 7 pilots to race against me And for that I using a very car Well,the boys.
This is a Porsche boxster s it's powerful,accurate and since you know all about We are going to have a competition to see who is the fastest This is the Start Who foot down to the bottom slide around the box come through to the middle once on the corner and then power all the way back fastest wins he winner will then get to race the jet against me and the car first,I showed the routes the new boxster has all new body work, new engines and a competely provided shacy which porsche claims and proves handling steer in first gear roll the There is no better way of testing that with an obsticle course as fast as she drives Õâ¸öÈË¿ÚÒôÆæÝâ¡£¡£Ìø¹ý~~ and through the finishing line with a 3.
4litre 6 cylinder engine.
The top speed at 170.
This is the fastest boxster ever.
and almost as fast as his big brother--the 911 But with short overhangs before and bigger 19inch wheels, the car should be more stable and for to handle let's see JXX who flys plane no.
1 is up first they all get 1 1 each and I'll time them all from the passenger seat and offer some guidence we need to going this way lovely well done you went sideways for a long time and smoke the 6 speed manual takes 5.
3s to get to 62mph ALthough you can avoid such wrong gear issues by optik for the 7 speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe you gonna to be the quickst I hope It seems to be very easy to ride the new car is 35 kg lighter than it's previers seser and has 315 hp,5 more than before it makes for lively combination you don't fried the getrieb of course i think the getribe is having a little warm Do you like this vs plane? Ëý£¨Vicki£©¿ªµÄʱºòºÜÃÀºÃ£¬ÎÒ¿ªµÄʱºòºÜÔã¸â can we try again? not with me in the car the new boster s has equipped itself brilliantly its stable,predictable handling and.
.
the result's time boys,none of you have got mechanical sympathy? I've got a headache and feel sick thanks so much I'm gonna start with the person who is the slowest And that is GXXX 30.
7 in 6th place And then we have joint 4th position.
And taht goes to FXXX and SXXX OK,so it's the dann to the top 3 in 3rd place with time of 26.
0 is DXXX so 2 of you left where are you PXXX and SXXX? hands up and the fastest of you is PP And I hope you fly better than you drive SO,we have oue pilot for der boxster vs jets Still to komen on FG Jonny reviews the location of one of the world's greastest driving roads.
Do you got a list of roads to drive in your life time? this is gonna to be on that.
and to find out how well a hybrid drifts.
the flick was too big And now,ladies and gentlemen May I introduce you to the spelendid Fifth Gear team test.
today ,the team tested the new hybrid Lexus GS450h this luxury saloon is powered by a v6 petrol engine and an electric motor,give a total of 286bhp costingÈçͼ it's a rival for tradition desiel saloons like the BMW 5series and Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse isn't it an all new Lexus GS£¿ ly ,the brand new car WHAT? I've seen this before This look like you got a really good point.
because I can't work out if it is new or not it's not neu there's nothing about this make you stand out"wow,that's the neu Lexus" this is the 450h,so this is the hybrid why means?does it,mr.
geek.
that it can go to London for free.
hybrid actually you can't go to London for free.
Suddenly you can't do it any more for any car that lease above 100 g per km CO2 in that big old v6 petrol kicks more than 100g 125,says it as soon as I sat inside though i realized there is where the money has been spend stitch on that gear lever there is really nice it is actually really nice inside it the top and all material are wonderful Look at this.
This is lovely look at this wooden cover .
.
I think they spend thousands of manhours on these sorts of thing just beautiful ,quality,stylisch cabin.
we are all very impressed this is like driving in a gentlemen's club what's that? It's a mouse you can aim for where you want to go then fire understate it luxury i like that Lexus is made aim with to engineering more driving invovements so,been Jason told,.
drive it the whole point is,is it fun to drive as you know BMWs and AUDIs and MERCs they stuck exactly 6000 revs firstly,what Jason and I immediately noticed was this CVT transmission it is constently veryinstead of you keeping in a gear and the revs going up and down it picks a rev band,the gearing goes up and down you get a very strange feeling in that the engine makes exactly the same noise all the way from sail 30 mph all way to 120 no matter you manual or auto,you get 6000 revs God,that's weird It get another black mark for fuel economy The Lexus is figured 45miles per gallon sounds very good for big lexury car but BMW535diesel has even more power and does 52miles per gallon watching Tiff and Jason,I thought that is a slightly awkward handling car he's done a running slick she's not very nice a bit slow that's a heavy as well I don't know if I've drifted a hybrid on the show before just when do it it got leer of electronics you can't turn off.
there is always some clever japanische person under the dashboard not allow you to have any fun I don't know if you are trying hard enough usually those boys can turn it in get the back sliding sideways,and hang on to a lovely drift all right,I'll get it flick in OMG I'm not for you to get the mark the flick was too big it's not a really sporty drive but i like it it might not suit to be frown around the track but the Lexus GS450h is an actually luxury limo but it was not as sporty as we were hoping it to be the Lexus GS450h gets 8 50grand is a lot of money,and you can get a more efficient BMW 5series that will cost you less and for that reason I'm going to give the Lexus 6 so the GS it's exceptional teuer inside it's a lot of money though and it doesn't looking interesting enough it doesn't drive that well as a driver's car 50 grand drive another jaguar XF or merc E-KLASSE i'm gonna give it 7.
5 well,i didn't think i've liked it but i do which gives the Lexus GS450h a team test score of 30 out of 40 next, tires they are the only thing that connect your car to the road and Tiff is going to show you just why you shouldn't cut corners when buying them a car's total grip on the road is limited to just 4 patchs,very big than the palm of our hand so you might imagine how hard each of these to work to keep 1.
5 tones of metal from sliding off the road understand just how crucial the tires are so when it comes to replacing them,the decision you make is a very important one so we are gonna to use this very typical familie car to try out 3 different ranks of tire on very different prices first,i'll test the new set of ECO tyres from EURO's biggest tire manufacture--continental a full set cost 330p there are more than 300 tire-brands to choose from and i want to see how a middle price compares the set by Czech company M cost 200p finally,i'll try a set of part worn tires perfect legal, good enough to get you through MO and a very attempting 60q for the set every day driving in the dry weren't shau many differences so we are going to the limit corns will die today,that's for sure the first of our 2 tests on specially wetting track is to see how fast i can corner in low grip condition first up,the standard fit--C the line-change test at 70 in to my high speed test corner how would the M costing 130p less compare i'm not getting out these corners as quick as i was in standard tire try the line-change 70mph and i'm telling you M gripping me more than it was for the C tire with less grip,the car's safty system has to brake harder to keep me safe and they hold me back in the high speed corner as well the tracktion scrunch the speed right at 66 on that lap i didn't manage to maintain the same speed which indicates the tires were sliding more don't in the car likes these tyres as much as it like Cs so what do you think of the part worn tires goverment figure shows millions of secondhand tires bought each year law says they must have at least 2mm of tread really good you never quiet sure you get a matching set now the shock we went to is actually 5 tires in our size they are all different brands 2 of them are winter tires winter tires have a soft and a more ingresive tread pattern to offer batter grip in slipy conditions although this one was damaged a part worn can't be sold if the cut is more than 25mm long this was on the limit I'm not quiet sure if it spend 4 different types of tires maybe I've been pulling left or right but it doesn't right.
the line-change at 70 and if you were think of the little cut in the rear end tire is going to let it go and that makes me think of generally if you have part worn you have the wheel where they've been would you like to put your family in the back and start throwing the car off a corner right.
up to a high speed test.
high turn in 70mph running wide.
we've run very wide to 61 the worse of 3 we found that the difference in wet cornering speed was almost 10mph between the cheapest and the most expensive tires perhaps as you expected but the result of the second test "wet braking"was going to throw up a shocking result we've tried the standard fit ECO Cs first as we got to exactly 40.
wait for the green cone exactly the 40 brake this is a very very slipy surface very very it won't stop actually and we have mark with that cone next,we test the mid-priced Ms 40mph,same speed wait foe the cones hit the brakes I think we would win here stop shorter in fact,they stop 7.
7m earlier time to test the PWs and 40 handle hard it's like a wow it's slowing very well amazingly, they stop 13.
2m sonner tahn the standard fit tires showing you just how impressive the grip of winter tires can be when it's slippery even if you were fitted in a couple of old ones although personally I only recommend buy new for total piece of mind as for why the most expensive tires took the longest distance to stop in the wet it is to do with with the trade off between consumption and grip tires like these ECO Cs are optimized for low rolling resistance and therefore,the best fuel economy the mid-priced is optimized for grip but its extra drag went necessary beats feul efficient a million pound is spent by the tire industrie on researching development every year and C tell us that their very latest tires provide better grip and economy but what this test reviewed is the rubber of a lebel as an ECO tire engined improving mpg
