Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson poses the question "Can the Americans make a decent car?" and uses European and Japanese cars to test that theory.

Jeremy Clarkson has traveled the planet to find the ultimate Supercar. He compares the topless versions of the Ferrari 430 and Lamborghini Gallardo. The Gallardo's big cousin, the Murcielago, weighs in too. Clarkson also has a go at being a Formula 1 hero thanks to a Radical SR3.

Thriller, as the name suggests, is all about thrills at the wheel. Aston Martin's gentleman thug, the DBS, takes on its rivals from Italy. The lightweight Lamborghini Superleggera battles it out on the track with Ferrari's 430 Scuderia and Clarkson's test of the best takes him to the breathtaking roads of the Swiss Alps, the no limits German autobahn - and, er, Norfolk.

It's all about challenges and some big questions. Which car makes the most smoke while going sideways - a Lamborghini Murcielago SuperVeloce or a Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S? What is best at drifting? - the Jaguar XKR, the Lotus Evora, Audi's R8 V10 or BMW's M3?

It's The Italian Job so obviously, Jeremy Clarkson heads to Kent in England for the race of a lifetime. But first he has to get ready. So, it's the Fiorano test track in Italy where he compares Ferrari's 458 Italia and the limited edition 599 GTO.

Jeremy Clarkson is in the South of France. His base? - The high-tech testing ground for Formula One - Circuit Paul Ricard. The mission? - To find his favorite car of the year. The candidates? - For starters there's a pair of Ferraris... the V12, 6.3 litre FF and the 458. There's the UK challenger to the 458... McLaren's MP4-12C. Joining the action are the latest gizmo-laden Nissan GTR, Porsche's GT2 RS, the 570-horsepower Lamborghini Performante and the built-for-fun BMW 1M.
