Oct 31, 2022 · Despite all that, Jeremy’s four-star review described the 296 GTB as a “tremendous car to look at and drive.”. He also praised the engineers’ efforts to hide the “hybrid madness”. But Clarkson said there was a significant caveat: because the hybrid power is really there as a result of government policymakers, he said, “Ferrari ...

Mercedes-AMG E 63 S estate
1. PublishedJanuary 9, 2022 2. Rating *** A V8-powered luxury Mercedes AMG estate? Surely this would have been right up Clarkson’s alley? Well, he liked quite a lot about it, including the vast boot, its speed and the way it flowed from corner to corner. But because the electrics started going wrong, including one incident when the driver’s seat kept moving forward on its own, crushing him against the steering wheel until he looked “like Stanley Tucci towards the end of that movie The Core,”...
Lexus ES 300h
1. PublishedJanuary 30, 2022 2. Rating *** This review was Clarkson at his most forlorn, seemingly resigned to the idea that speed and fun are no longer priorities in motoring, as people now prize comfort and efficiency above all else. He referred to the hybrid “Lexus ES Something or Other” saloon as “a Prius in a businessman’s suit”, describing its performance as “not even on nodding terms with the concept of speediness.” However, he admitted it’s exceptionally comfortable and the build qual...
Kia Sportage GT Line S 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid
1. PublishedMay 29, 2022 2. Rating *** The tone of melancholia continued in May with his review of Kia’s hybrid Sportage. A double winner at The Sunday Times Motor Awards 2022the Sportage may be, but the popular family SUV failed to win over Clarkson who complained of a lack of speed and handling thrills: “To drive? Who cares, really? No one who’s interested in a Korean SUV, that’s for sure.” Noticing the proliferation of USB ports around the cabin, including in the sides of the front seats,...
BMW M5 CS
1. PublishedFebruary 27, 2022 2. Rating **** This could have received five stars, as at one point Clarkson pointedly agrees with the people on the internet who argue that it is the best BMW M5 ever. The 2022 CS didn’t quite make that mark, though, for three main reasons, according to Clarkson: its “gearbox wanted to remain in Greta mode a bit longer than I’d have liked”; the V8 engine could have been noisier; and you can’t actually buy one — the limited production run of 2,200 examples was ev...
Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS
1. PublishedApril 24, 2022 2. Rating **** The Cayman GT4 RS has the engine of the 911 GT3 in a smaller package, and Clarkson likes that. He also likes the fact that it’s ludicrously loud … “Not on the outside, mind. Only for those who are in it. Take note Jaguar, who do it, wrongly, the other way around.” The balance, suspension set up and other mechanical trickery mean that this is, according to Clarkson, a car you can “literally fling around the place and, like all good sports cars, it reac...
Ford F150 Lightning
1. PublishedOctober 23, 2022 2. Rating **** Clarkson is famously not a fan of electric vehicles (“A car without an engine has no soul”), but Ford’s big battery-powered pick-up truck won him over. How? Well, 260 miles of indicated range isn’t terrible, he reckoned, given it’s so big that “you drive it from a seat that’s so far off the ground, you can look down on passing airliners.” And it can carry a ton, tow four tons and accelerate as quickly as a Ferrari F40. What’s more, he argued, “it is...

- 1997 Ferrari F355. Average Used Car Price: $103,164. A car collection would not be complete without a Ferrari, so of course, Clarkson chose one of the best for his collection.
- The 2014 Rally "MFB" Bentley Continental GT. Average Used Car Price: $97,951. What happened to the Bentley from The Grand Tour? Jeremy kept it! We see him zipping around in it when the mud comes to his farm in 2020.
- 2012 Porsche 911. Average Used Car Price: $88,334. Clarkson is always in the mood for a car that's fast and sporty, so you would think that the rear-engined icon, the Porsche 911, is right up his alley.
- 2011 Aston Martin Virage. Average Used Car Price: $75,573. Originally meant to be positioned between the DB9 and DBS, the Aston Martin Virage was bigger and bulkier than most other Aston Martins, so that would naturally mean it would be a good fit for tall Clarkson and his big potbelly.
One and a half tonnes of explosively fast fun. The Clarkson Review: Ferrari 296 GTB. By Jeremy Clarkson (Sunday Times, Oct. 30) . In the beginning there was the Toyota Prius. Launched in 1997, it was the first mass-produced car to have both a normal petrol engine and an electric motor, and it was supposed to be the futur
Dec 27, 2021 · The Golf GTI is both.”. 4. Ferrari Roma. The Ferrari Roma ticked a lot more boxes for Jeremy than other Ferraris in recent years. The engine is up front, which he likes, and with 612bhp Clarkson said its twin-turbo V8 doesn’t produce unusable amounts of power. While he found the interior good — even practical — the seats he described as ...
Apr 25, 2021 · THE NEW Ferrari Roma is Maranello’s first car in a long time that is actually fun to drive on British roads, according to Jeremy Clarkson. The Sunday Times motoring writer has not been a fan of the prancing horse’s offerings in recent years, branding the company a “hatmaker” and saying its cars are too big, wide and powerful to be used on the twisty, bumpy roads of the UK.
