Jeremy takes a "look" at the Toyota Prius. James tests the new Maserati Quattroporte. The boys gives a preview of the new Mercedes Benz CLS. Richard celebrates the death of the Rover V8 engine and giving it a proper send off by taking part a race in a Rover SD1 (fitted with the Rover V8 engine). To find out whether diesel has caught up with petrol, Jeremy and Richard are having a race around the test track with Jeremy in the new Skoda Fabia VRS which has a turbocharged diesel engine and Richard in the Mini Cooper which has a supercharged petrol engine. Jeremy tests his dream car, the Ford GT, which had been ridiculed by Richard and James for its poor fuel economy, lack of boot space and the difficulty of getting in to the car in a normal public parking space. Richard demonstrates the power of two of the four engines of a Boeing 747 airplane by sending cars through the jet wake behind the plane.
