"Tonight we have Porsche verses Lamborghini." "And Chris Harris verses a large wall." "Back in the 60s, Alfa created cars like this, the GTA, that were." "The trouble is since those heady times the Alfa story has been one of disappointment, false dawn and." "Was now, there's a new Alfa that finally promises to." "But like no Alfa for a long time, the Giulia is rear wheel" "drive and under the bonnet of this?" "59,000 version is a twin turbo V6," "Exciting headlines... but come on!" "It can't possibly live up to the promise!" "But I've got to start with that engine." "It's effectively a Ferrari V8 with two cylinders lopped off the." "What you have is an Alfa Romeo saloon powered by a Ferrari." "It does an incredible impression of a" "normal aspirated engine at the top where most turbo engines run out," "That V6 is a fraud in the most perfect way." "But there's no point having all that power and torque if." "There's so much grip on these roads and you can just fire it." "And the whole thing just feels so composed." "They've even done serious things like weight saving." "Large areas of the bodywork are made of." "Most of the interior is covered in the stuff, and what." "It's all very convincing, and then there's where you sit." "Italy has spent decades perfecting the art of the awful driving position, it's a matter of national pride." "But somehow they've managed to forget it all with this car." "This steering wheel is in just the right" "I can only assume that at some point, in the early '70s, all the." "Alfa engineers that knew about making a car fun to drive got accidentally locked in a store cupboard." "And at some point last year, Alfa found the key!" "All those years spent reworking flabby." "All those disappointments we've endured." "This is one of the best moments of my year so far!" "And I know this is the bit where I'm supposed to reveal." "To conclude, that, yes, the Giulia is still interesting, but." "And that, ironically, is the problem." "Now Alfa's finally created a car capable of mixing it with the best in the world, it's going to have to... well, you." "The sort of car unlikely to be amused by some pretty-faced." "The M3 really is the defining super saloon." "It's a spectacular car and I adore it." "I've got more power, I've got more torque." "This Alfa is all over this BMW, whether he likes it or." "That may have more low-down punch and his interior." "But look, that arm rest, that could come off" "I know which car I'd rather be in right now and it's not" "I can't believe I'm saying that, but it's not the M3." "I'm going sideways in a 500 horsepower Alfa." "You can slide this car anywhere you want." "Guess what happens when you get it on to the straight!" "Zero to 100 in 8.2 seconds, 190 miles per." "So, and I almost can't believe I'm finally." "Built a super saloon to beat the very best." "It's like England finally winning the World Cup a day many had hoped for, but in their heart of hearts never believed could really happen." "Well, I couldn't help but hear you saying..." "That you could slide this car anywhere you want." "I thought you might want to prove it." "So, you want me to skid side ways through that?" "Right, my comprehensive review being a little" "high-brow for some, my childish colleague would now have we put the Alfa sideways through a." "And frangible, it turns out, has nothing" "to do with almonds, it means fragile." "Rory, why are you in an umpire's chair?" "Please don't question the umpire, Chris." "There's no way on earth he's going to do this." "Everything in my brain is saying, don't drive at the big," "Everything in my brain is saying, don't drive at the big" "I thought you said you could drift this anywhere?" "Honestly, I was feeling about as wounded as the poor." "So, with the wall rebuilt, Chris lined up for another attempt." "This is going to go so horribly wrong!" "And this time he would try a slightly different line." "Mate, you went through the wall, just not quite in the shape of the." "Do you understand the concept we're working towards here?" "OK, Harris was running out of time, but somehow still confident he could do it before the day was out." "My tenacious colleague set off to make it third time lucky." "I accept, as Chris Harris, that my statement that I could drift" "it through anything, was on reflection, unwise!" "As much as I want to see him fail, there's a small part of me." "And with supplies of frangible wall now critically low, Chris settled himself for one final attempt." "I just want to get this done." "I can't even see what I'm doing here!" "My God, I can't believe we did it!" "No-one felt worse about damaging the Alfa than." "See that, and I see that you moved the steering." "And Rory didn't you steal that wall idea from the." "You knew that was all CGI in that ad, all." "You can't just jump to the front of the queue like that!" "Now it's time to put the Giulia around our test drive, and you know what that means?" "Over 500 horsepower, fibre carbon body." "Stig getting very lively into the first turn there." "Really is, he's managing the throttle there." "Using the systems, they would have been on in race mode here." "Bit of under-steer, gets on the gas, neutralises it." "Well controlled by our white-suited friend!" "Starts to under-steer and neutrallises it with the gas." "Now the long straight back towards Apollo." "Clench those buttocks, that was fast." "So, the fastest 4-door ever to lap our track I believe." "Not only that, same day, same conditions, we lapped" "the new M3 and it was slower, two tenths slower." "So the Alfa's officially faster than an M3." "The European exotica doesn't end there because we are now a week" "closer to me driving the new Renault Twingo." "And now it's time to welcome this week's guest." "He was once voted the planet's greenest celebrity, this." "How did you become the planet's greenest celebrity?" "The only reason I can fathom is that I drive a Prius." "But now that I have too many children we had to get." "So I now have a Mercedes Viano to get them in the back, and that's a big diesel guzzling monster, so I think I've lost any." "Everybody is always saying the Prius is this horrible car," "it's disgusting to drive, but I think it deserves." "Because it represents the biggest evolutionary step in the history." "Without the Prius we wouldn't have the LaFerrari," "The single greatest step in automotive technology?" "In honour of the world's greenest celebrity." "We filled the studio with a selection of sustainable stuff." "This Jaguar I-Pace is an SUV, it is their answer to the Model X." "It wasn't so long ago that the Jag brand image was a little bit Prescott, but this thing is more Silicon Valley." "Forget the Prius, this is the electric family." "There's one problem, though, it's not real." "It's not real yet, but it will be ready for production by the end of the year and it will cost about?" "60,000." "Why are you so resistant to the idea of electric cars?" "Because it's all about putting the nozzle in the hole." "It comes from Mercedes, it's called the Maybach G650 Landaulet." "And here it is, check this thing out." "They say it demonstrates that the definition of unique luxury." "It's got a massive V12 engine, massive ground clearance," "It's an off-roader that's also a limo that is also a convertible," "The one that reads the buyer is of sound mind." "It looks like a Suzuki Vitara slammed into Mr T's jewellery box." "You're saying that like it's a bad thing." "You've been around our track before back in the days." "This time you're taking on the fire breathing Toyota GT 86." "You had some fun training with Chris Harris, what was he like?" "I mean, to be fair, I think driving lessons to bring out." "Didn't you once play a driving instructor?" "What did you find out about your average driving instructor?" "They do a very difficult job for relatively low remuneration." "As a Doctor Who fan I'm looking for a bit more." "Put your hands on the wheel, what are you doing?" "Through here, I don't like this at all." "Now, we've got to find our route between the grass." "Brake at the hundred, brake at the hundred." "Come on, that was wonderful, wasn't it?" "You are nearly killing me, you horrible person, you." "I think you have got to start being nicer to the guests." "You've got to chill, I had a great time." "He didn't look scared, he looked fine." "Because it felt like he was trying to hurt me." "I would like to tell you about a new performance hybrid from Japan." "36 tonnes, 340 horsepower, it's got a diesel electric hybrid." "You really, genuinely care about this stuff, don't you?" "Back me up, you look like a tracked excavator fan?" "I'm not entirely sure what this is telling us about your fascinations, Matt." "Another treat for the world's greenest celebrity." "It's in our studio, it looks brilliant." "There's a motor in each of the wheels so it's four-wheel drive." "What is this big fascination with electric cars?" "Have you noticed every week there's a new electric super hyper car?" "One that promises it will beat the Bugatti Veyron." "That's the whole point of electric cars." "What did you say it was called again?" "Sounds like something you used to remove hair." "I think it's time to move on at that point." "Your classic convertible supercar, theatrical, flamboyant, and according to our producers, pointless." "Great for the two days of the summer when it's warm and dry, utterly useless for the rest of the icy, wet, cold year." "We said get with the times, yes, roofless supercars were once like that, but the modern breed, you can really" "Matt and I were each told to pick a four-wheel drive convertible supercar and to report bright and early Monday morning." "Welcome to the four seasons supercar challenge." "You will now drive from Las Vegas to the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains encountering spring, summer, autumn and." "Our four seasons cars were waiting downstairs, and my ace card," "the Lamborghini Huracan Spider, 5.2 litre V10, 610 horsepower, all lurking under a body of pure Italian flamboyance." "I put my chips on the Porsche 911 Turbo S." "It might only have a 3.8 litre flat 6 but trust me, in the real world," "This is the supercar challenge, did you not hear the rules?" "0-60 in under three seconds, top speed over 200 mile per hour," "It's got rear seats, it's a sports car." "Don't get me wrong, I love 911s, but it's a super car." "Coming from the man who's chosen the lifestyle Lamborghini." "In other words that's the car for the driver who doesn't like driving, it's all about image." "They said don't bring a blue car and don't wear a blue shirt." "Well, this wasn't going to be settled in a car park." "I chose this car because this is a proper supercar," "it's low, it's pointy, it's noisy, it's impractical." "That's what you want in a supercar, you want that over the top styling, you want that larger than life superhero feeling." "Inside the Lamborghini Matt will be giving a passionate, detailed explanation as to why he's driving a supercar, I don't need." "This is faster to 60, it uses less fuel, it costs lets money, it's practical, it's all-round better." "And best of all I don't look like a part-time." "Out of the city limits we began our epic journey." "From the intense heat of California's vast desert plains to the brutal sub-zero snow and ice of the Sierra Nevada mountains." "And for this challenge the Lamborghini really." "The Huracan is the last of the naturally aspirated supercars." "That's because these days Turbo is to go." "The 911 has a higher top speed than the Lambo." "And according to Porsche it's 2.8 second 0-60 is half." "Every time you actually do it's faster." "They're about posters on a bedroom wall." "The Lamborghini Hurricane Spider, like walking into a room and." "We were told to report to a local race track for our first Four Seasons challenge, but before we got going we went out for a few sighting laps to really get to know our cars." "It shouldn't be able to do what it does." "The engine is in the wrong place, so it should understeer, but." "The engine is an animal, it pulls and pulls and pulls." "It's not a bad lifestyle, if you ask me!" "That should find the limit without crashing, and this car is all." "The double clutch gearbox is super fast." "It's a bit faster in a straight line than I." "Soon though, we were told to pull over." "Spring is a season of unpredictable weather." "I can tell that it looks like it's going to rain any minute." "When a fast-action roof is essential." "You must start with your roof down and finish with your roof up." "First one past the chequered flag with their roof up wins." "Going to get my roof down towards the end of the race." "An impressive start, but I had a different plan." "I don't have to worry about this any more." "The Lamborghini roof goes up in 17 seconds." "Annoyingly, Harris's Porsche does it in just 13." "I've got to get a little bit of an advantage" "here, because he's got a four-second quicker roof mechanism." "And to do that, Matt had to slow down to a steady 31." "Does you being beaten make me a super car?" "Well, this is a test of practicality." "So your sports car has a very practical four seconds." "A super car, which this is, and that is not, is." "And as we moved on to the next challenge..." "Even the incredible scenery was bringing out." "One hour later, we arrived at our next challenge location and the." "Death Valley is one of the hottest places on." "Before we went any further, Harris insisted on taking supplies." "I'm taking no chances with this Death Valley thing." "I've got water, snacks, a shovel and spare radio." "For me, to survive this potentially deadly crossing, I." "Are you sure you don't need a muffin?" "What are you going to do with that shovel?" "Time to take a vacation from your car." "Thank you for stocking my car up with goodies!" "These chips that you bought, they are delicious!" "Tasty snacks aside though, life in Harris's Porsche was." "Quite a bit different than the Lambo." "8500 RPM with a lovely step up at 4.5." "I'm a very, very short man, as my co-host is very keen to point out, and I'm pretty much in the air flow here." "If you were the size of a normal human." "The sense of theatre, if you wanted to feel that you bought" "something Special with your money, I have to say it's more special than." "But it's just lacking any kind of sense." "So, for the rest of the challenge, we agreed to just enjoy." "That is some epic scenery right there." "And reaching the foot of the Sierra Nevada it was." "If you take selfies, I think it is a great car." "Great, Matt." "What about" "my car!" "?" "Tell me about my car?" "That is a nice car." "If you are in the market for a super car." "That is the most bland one you can find - that is it." "That is a bland super car!" "That's a meaningful 50-year marriage." "That's a one-night stand!" "We called summer a no-score draw." "After a long day t producers kindly laid on accommodation in a quaint local village." "Ever had the feeling you're being" "watched?" "To help us blend in..." "I had a plan!" "OK, follow my lead!" "Year that should do it, erecting the roof will cover all bases in this situation." "Just put your roof up!" "I just erected four seconds faster than you!" "Stop saying erect!" "This is the last place you want to get caught with an erection!" "OK, now, what you need to know about that film is when I got my Lambo" "back from Harris, it was disgusting!" "OK!" "Crumbs on the seat." "Chocolate on the wheel." "I am sure you got humous on the rev needle." "You, my friend, are a pig!" "I'd rather be fast than clean." "You can be both." "It says what kind of person you are." "Are you a car slob, like me?" "Personally I am not." "But I have four kids." "My car has a layer of raisins and snot at all times." "Are you clean in the car?" "I have given up until my children reach 46, I will just accept that is how we're going to live." "Mine can be dirty in the car." "I keep the outside of the car pristine." "You have a different attitude." "Especially driving around in London, the odd scratch, anything that doesn't disable the vehicle I don't think is worth worrying about." "What is a scrape or a scrunch?" "There is a panel that if you drive too fast definitely flaps out the black." "You can kick it back in and it does for about a week each time." "Are you the kind of person when you parallel park you nudge the car in front?" "I am very careful about other people's cars." "If you are in a multistorey and you rub against the wall to sneak into that space, what is the..." "I can't take it." "The thought of damaging something!" "You are back on our screens in Broad Church." "The final." "This is it." "I think we should do three and want them wanting more." "If there was a door of revolving crimes happening it would..." "They are secretive about the storey lines?" "Story lines." "It is a thriller." "Anything which has elements of plot, you want to hold back." "In this modern era, the thought that anyone could miss-place an e-mail, the Kremlin could hack into your account." "It means being on the show gets tiresome." "Everything has a password." "One script has one password, another has another password." "The sciment amendments." "They are not passwords you choose." "That is in a different e-mail, which has a different password, you had to remember from last week..." "I cannot keep up." "It is impossible." "If you don't know your lines, you can say, I didn't get the e-mail." "I end up being a grumpy man about it." "Send me some paper." "I can't deal with this!" "Are you ready." "The time has come to see how you did around the track, on your own!" "I'm very optimistic." "I fear crushing disappointment." "We need to discuss this, after I left you at the end of our coaching session, you agreed you'd then go off and do your timed laps." "I gather you went for extra training on your own." "An extra training lap..." "Well!" "What happened?" "I..." "I kind of think you've got to go for it." "You've got to learn what the car can take." "You've got to push your boundaries." "Sometimes you overstep your boundaries." "Can we see the image, please?" "No!" "Anything that doesn't disable the vehicle..." "Doesn't count as an accident!" "We've only had that car two weeks." "Now it's got character." "What did you hit?" "There's nothing out there?" "One of those foam sides that tells you when you turn left!" "But you did managed to record the timed lap, yeah?" "A really good view of the damaged panel again." "Braking hard, a bit early, what's he like to here?" "The trick is to use the whole circuit, not half the circuit." "If you hadn't had ESP there you would have died." "I was feeling quite confident until your barrage of criticism." "You set yourself high standards, I want to help you get there." "And I'm just glad you didn't apply any more damage to our car." "I think that was quite quick, bearing in places." "I'm confident, I think you've done well." "The best time on the board is still Max Whitlock," "David Tennant, you did it in 1:44 flat." "I couldn't have done it without my teacher." "I'll take second place, that's all right, that's good." "Now, earlier on, Matt and I finished the first day in our big convertible supercar trip in the charming town of Darwin." "And because what happens in Darwin stays in Darwin, really, that's their motto, we pick up the story." "We got up early as it was time to leave California's desert plains." "I think we might be about to enter into a bit of twisty," "We start our climb into the Sierra Nevada mountains." "Look at that, that is a sheer face, you go off that, that's bad." "We wondered what our next challenge might be." "Smokey the Bear up ahead, Smokey the Bear up ahead." "And with no idea what Matt was on about, we came across a policeman waiting with the answer." "Welcome to fall, a season of tricky road conditions." "You and your cars will now fall down the slippery mountain road under the power of gravity alone, no touching the accelerator," "That sounds like a completely relevant real-world test." "I do this with my motorcycle buddies, neutral, all" "I've got to say, it doesn't feel like fall." "We invented the language, its autumn." "It's fall, we're not going to autumn down the hill." "Look, whoever wins the challenge gets to name the season, deal?" "We would now take turns freewheeling our cars to the bottom of the mountain, 1,000 feet below." "It was time to let the blue bull run free." "OK, here we go, come on, seven, eight, nine, ten," "But as this one and a half tonne 200 grand rock gathered momentum..." "This is a tight one, this is a tight one." "Come on, don't be a chicken, stay off the brakes." "Although the further I went, the easier it became." "Here comes the hairpin, set up way out here," "With the little blue bull really starting to run," "76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86!" "It felt fast, but Harris's Porsche was heavy and potentially quicker." "OK, it's fair to say this isn't the sort of challenge I'm used to." "If you're speeding with the car in neutral, is it still" "I admit I did find the whole lack of engine thing a bit tricky." "I don't know what's around the corner, I keep wanting to brake." "OK, so you did it in two minutes, 46 seconds." "I did it in two minutes and three seconds." "That's a typo, how can be 43 seconds quicker?" "You were a third quicker, basically, than me." "Let me see that, I just kicked your ass here." "As the winner of fall I had made it 1-1 with just one challenge remaining, and as we climbed high." "Arriving at Mammoth Mountain our four seasons decider looked like it" "would be the toughest challenge of them all." "When does heavy snowfall become a blizzard?" "I don't know, this feels pretty blizzardy." "Time for your final challenge, winter." "You claimed your supercars could handle any weather." "You will now prove it by racing across Mammoth Mountain." "We have to race across Mammoth Mountain?" "I lost the last challenge, I fully intend to win this one." "Mammoth Mountain sits at the heart of the Sierra Nevada range." "To cross it our challenge would start over 9000 feet up at the top of the ski slope, plunge into the bottom, two mile drive through deep drifts and would bring us to the final stage, applying through dense forest and a race to finish on the other" "4-wheel drive, 600 horsepower, ?" "200,000 car," "Apparently the other side of the mountain it's not snowing." "When manufacturers talk about 0-60 times, they assume." "But if you're on, say, a ski slope, those times may vary slightly." "Harris's all-weather Porsche had started well, but then..." "To stay in the race, Harris had been forced." "On the other side of the mountain, the weather cleared." "But I was now out of the deep stuff and gaining fast." "Going into the second stage, it was uphill all the way." "The low riding Lambo started to struggle." "Pushing to open up a lead, keeping the hammer down was becoming." "Now since Chris had already bent the rules, it seemed only fair." "With the snow chains on I soon had the Porsche in my sights." "You ain't getting away now, Harris, I got you." "At the final stage we were neck and neck but with no way past," "to stand any chance of winning I decided to take a different line through the forest in a sprint to the finish." "That 43 seconds is driving him crazy, I can tell." "Two truly incredible supercars but only one winner." "We just drove all the way up the mountain in two supercars." "It's ridiculous that these cars managed to do that." "I knew they were good, I did not know they were that good." "That was so much fun, that might be the most fun." "You know how Lamborghini is building the new four-wheel drive thing?" "They don't need to build an off-roader because they have." "If you had to pick one, you'd take the Porsche, right?" "It's true perfection, it does everything." "OK, Matt, between the three of us, Porsche or the Huracan?" "The Huracan is so theatrical and it has a spectacular motor..." "It has back seats, you can put the kids in it." "You can do whatever you want with it." "On next week's show, the Aston Martin DB 11." "The 24-year-old man has been charged with murder." "You made sure an innocent man is charged!"
