Clips from The Grand Tour - Enviro-mental (S01E01)

"Amongst other things."
The Grand Tour
"Coming up now is my professional review."
The Grand Tour
"This is the car in question."
The Grand Tour
"No, wait. Sorry. Hang on."
The Grand Tour
"It's easy to be confused."
The Grand Tour
"This is it."
The Grand Tour
"The hottest, hardest,"
The Grand Tour
"tightest 911 of them all..."
The Grand Tour
"...and the most exotic."
The Grand Tour
"It has the fattest back tyres I've ever seen on a road car."
The Grand Tour
"carbon-fibre body panels for lightness."
The Grand Tour
"so if you turn it over and there are sparks,"
The Grand Tour
"there will be a blinding flash of light,"
The Grand Tour
"and then you will have a convertible."
The Grand Tour
"Like many people, I don't really like the idea of the Porsche 911,"
The Grand Tour
"and I certainly don't like the people who drive them."
The Grand Tour
"I find them flawed, in some dark and rather disgusting way."
The Grand Tour
"But I will grudgingly admit"
The Grand Tour
"that even the basic cooking models are..."
The Grand Tour
"extremely lovely to drive."
The Grand Tour
"They're..."
The Grand Tour
"They're just very good sports cars."
The Grand Tour
"But what about this one?"
The Grand Tour
"Well..."
The Grand Tour
"Let's find out."
The Grand Tour
"Straight away, I can tell you the engine..."
The Grand Tour
"is incredible."
The Grand Tour
"There's no turbocharging."
The Grand Tour
"It's just a four litre flat-six, but..."
The Grand Tour
"you get 500 horsepower."
The Grand Tour
"That's bike territory."
The Grand Tour
"and because the engine is sitting right over the rear axle,"
The Grand Tour
"the grip is just astonishing."
The Grand Tour
"I've engaged all the hero buttons down here,"
The Grand Tour
"turned all the electronic driver aids off,"
The Grand Tour
"and let see if I can unstick it."
The Grand Tour
"In here far too fast into Swindon Swings."
The Grand Tour
"But, anyway, no loss of traction at all."
The Grand Tour
"I thought, when I read the spec sheet on the RS,"
The Grand Tour
"that Porsche had tried to make a supercar,"
The Grand Tour
"a rival for Ferrari and McLaren and Lamborghini, but they haven't."
The Grand Tour
"It's still a sports car."
The Grand Tour
"It's still chuckable and deft."
The Grand Tour
"Annoyingly."
The Grand Tour
"But... is it as good as this,"
The Grand Tour
"the BMW M4 GTS?"
The Grand Tour
"Like the Porsche, it's made from exotic lightweight materials..."
The Grand Tour
"and fitted with scaffolding instead of back seats,"
The Grand Tour
"and enormous tyres."
The Grand Tour
"It looks good."
The Grand Tour
"But there are some problems."
The Grand Tour
"When you arrive at a small speed hump in the Porsche,"
The Grand Tour
"But when you arrive at the same hump in the BMW..."
The Grand Tour
"you will need a team of men to fold away the spoiler"
The Grand Tour
"and adjust the ride height."
The Grand Tour
"This takes several hours."
The Grand Tour
"There are some other issues as well."
The Grand Tour
"To give owners the sense they're driving a racing car,"
The Grand Tour
"And I think that, on a day-to-day basis, that would drive you a bit mad."
The Grand Tour
"Then there's the ride, which is extremely bumpy,"
The Grand Tour
"and the drone from the tyres, which is horrendous."
The Grand Tour
"After ten minutes on a motorway,"
The Grand Tour
"you will have a headache,"
The Grand Tour
"and you won't have any headache pills with you,"
The Grand Tour
"Now, at this point, I would normally use the word "however""
The Grand Tour
"and start talking about the car's good points."
The Grand Tour
"However..."
The Grand Tour
"The engine, for example, has water injection,"
The Grand Tour
"which sounds cool."
The Grand Tour
"you have to fill a water tank in the boot."
The Grand Tour
"I don't know, but I'm not sure this is very hi-tech."
The Grand Tour
"And then there's the steering, which in comfort mode is horrid,"
The Grand Tour
"That said, the steering wheel is nice."
The Grand Tour
"It's good and thick. It's..."
The Grand Tour
"It's like holding onto something from the Ron Jeremy range."
The Grand Tour
"And the seats aren't bad."
The Grand Tour
"But other than that..."
The Grand Tour
"No."
The Grand Tour
"when you go into battle against the Porsche."
The Grand Tour
"We both have around 500 horsepower,"
The Grand Tour
"both have a top speed of around 190,"
The Grand Tour
"but the Porsche is a lot lighter."
The Grand Tour
"Probably because it doesn't have a tank full of water in the boot."
The Grand Tour
"Struggling to keep up now."
The Grand Tour
"Oh, "Springs"!"
The Grand Tour
"A pampas grass shop."
The Grand Tour
"Oh! We're having... God, that's nasty."
The Grand Tour
"to my rather brutal driving style."
The Grand Tour
"The problem is..."
The Grand Tour
"it doesn't really respond very well to delicacy, either."
The Grand Tour
"and someone who thinks they're a boxer"
The Grand Tour
"How did BMW get this thing so wrong?"
The Grand Tour
"Oh, God!"
The Grand Tour
"It's twitchy, it's unpredictable."
The Grand Tour
"And in the rain,"
The Grand Tour
"it's somewhere between spiteful and undrive..."
The Grand Tour
"Oh, God! ...undriveable."
The Grand Tour
"But, that said, this has to be the winner of this test"
The Grand Tour
"because Richard Hammond..."
The Grand Tour
"...has got one of those."
The Grand Tour
"I called it."
The Grand Tour
"That was annoying."
The Grand Tour
"At points."
The Grand Tour
"But you were doing so well,"
The Grand Tour
"and then you ruined it at the end."
The Grand Tour
"What do you mean, ruined it?"
The Grand Tour
"By saying you'd have a worse car"
The Grand Tour
"because I haven't got one."
The Grand Tour
"- That Porsche wounded me. - Wounded you?"
The Grand Tour
"It did wound me, because, you know, it's got so much grip"
The Grand Tour
"that you're sort of forced into the seat?"
The Grand Tour
"And the seat's got stitching on it"
The Grand Tour
"which digs a hole in your back."
The Grand Tour
"I've got a picture of what it did. Look at this!"
The Grand Tour
"That's my back!"
The Grand Tour
"Oh, I'm amazed you weren't hospitalised with that! That's horrific!"
The Grand Tour
"- That is a savage wound! - Mine's never done that to me."
The Grand Tour
"That's cos you're a midget! You don't reach that high up the seat."
The Grand Tour
"Or maybe you're a freak and sit in the wrong place."
The Grand Tour
"It's not just the fact it wounds you."
