Top Gear: The Perfect Road Trip 2 Page #2

Look at it, it's all angles and...

It's beautiful.

Look, I will concede, reluctantly,

it's not as visually exciting

as some Lamborghinis are

when they're first launched.

- It should be.

- Deny that the back of your car

still looks like the back

of a vacuum cleaner.

It looks like something on a shelf

in an electronic...

It does, it does.

I... Listen, I'm not saying

that the McLaren is perfect,

but it's more perfect than that is.

I want you to stop talking now

because there's a danger

- I might agree with you a tiny bit.

- (MUMBLING)

And I don't wanna do that. What I do

wanna do is drive my Lamborghini.

Right.

All right, I will concede

that the McLaren is a very good car.

But in the real world, this is better.

It's the things you can't see

that make the difference.

The turbo in the McLaren

is carbon fibre.

Very strong, very light, very good.

But you ding it,

basically you're gonna need a new car.

The tub in this is a blend of

carbon fibre and aluminium

which is easier to repair.

This interior, it's superb.

This has had proper thought put into it.

Things are where they should be,

there's no confusion and what's what

just for the sake of how it looks.

And all of the electronics

now come from Audi.

Which means they work.

There's a device which shuts down

the engine at a set of traffic lights.

And there's four-wheel drive.

But don't think that

they've made it all sensible.

Oh, my God! (ENGINE ROARING)

Listen to that.

(TYRES SQUEALING)

It's got the same

5.2-litre V10 as in the Gallardo.

It's got a new top-end

and a new exhaust system.

A point that makes itself clear

as soon as you put your foot down.

Yay!

(CHUCKLES)

It's got the same

flappy paddled DSG gearbox

as you get in the Audi R8.

Which is very good news,

because that's one of,

if not the best, gearbox in the world.

Instant!

And I've got a button here.

It's the ANIMA button.

That's Italian for animal.

I bet Hammond is sitting

in his Lamborghini now

talking about animals.

'Cause he doesn't know that ANIMA,

which is what the button's called,

in Italian, means "soul".

And there's three different modes,

so I'm guessing

they're like different animals.

The soft one is probably a hare,

fast but quite fluffy.

And then you can go for the middle one,

that's maybe a cheetah.

And then the really angry one

is a tiger. I'm going tiger.

If you push it,

it just firms up the dampers.

It doesn't turn the car

into an elephant.

It has nothing to do with animals.

He's a blithering idiot.

There are times,

pushing on like this when

the Hurcan feels more like a sports car

than a super car,

and that is a compliment.

Because what I'm saying is
