DVD Description

Comments from Jeremy Clarkson:

'I’ve travelled the planet – from Spain via Strasbourg to Swindon – for Supercar Showdown and my aim is simple - find the ultimate Supercar.

I start a fight between a prancing horse and a raging bull as topless versions of the Ferrari 430 and Lamborghini Gallardo slug it out.

The Gallardo’s big cousin, the Murcielago, weighs in too.

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano struts its stuff and Audi’s R8 faces up to the Porsche GT3 as my special guest, Nurburgring-know-all Sabine Schmitz takes on The Stig.

I turn into a Formula 1 hero thanks to a Radical SR3. And I have a fantastic time in the Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster.

Plus there’s a new kid on the block in the shape of the stunning Ascari A10.

And the line-up would not be complete without the 1000 horsepower, 252 miles per hour Bugatti Veyron. So I blast off in one of those too.

Meanwhile, everything else explodes as I find out if there is such a thing as "Too much" turbo power, a Renault Alpine A610 comes to the end of the road and I answer the big question – "Which is stronger, the electric G-Wiz or a table?"

Enjoy…'

Synopsis

Clarkson is back to take us behind the wheel of some of the world's most amazing cars. Machines featured include the Ferrari 430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi's R8, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster and the Ascari A10.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Clarkson, no substitutes accepted, 29 Dec 2007

By	David Lim "space_hamster" (Hobart, Tasmania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Compared to his great work in Top Gear I haven't been completely impressed with his other DVD's. I enjoyed this one for several reasons. Firstly, they're clearly using the Production Crew from Top Gear, which is especially evident in both the music and the high-quality camerawork. There are also some amusing Top Gear-style bits. Such as a pretty pathetic race between a G-Whiz and an Alpine.

One of my favourite parts is a race between Sabine Schmidt and The Stig - something I'd been hoping they'd do on Top Gear for ages now. It's also littered with Clarkson's opinions on different supercars. It was Clarkson's commentary that made me pay more attention to cars, so I really enjoyed it here.

In summary, it's a pleasant way to pass the time until Top Gear returns for another series. If you're an "Eco-Mentalist" (to quote Clarkson), or you jsut can't stand the man, then don't buy this DVD. If you're a fan of Clarkson's work, then I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A return to form., 20 Dec 2007

By	Mr. D. Bell "Dan Bell" (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

After last years disappointing DVD it's a pleasure to say that Clarkson has returned to form with a very entertaining one this year.

Apart from a couple of stupid stunts (which are actually quite funny) thankfully we are back in super car territory. We get treated to watching some of the world's fastest cars going sideways around a circuit somewhere in Spain. The list of cars is mouth-watering, from a Mercialago to an Ascari A10 via an, erm Rover 25!!

Clarkson's enthusiasm is as good as ever and the 75 minute running time just flies by.

Fans of these DVDs will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good as ever, but it's nothing new., 13 Dec 2007

By	Mr. M. Sankey "Road Runner" (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a devoted Clarkson fan, I love him to bits, but the genre is getting a bit tired, especially as it's basically him just doing an hour of road tests - and with the diversity that Top Gear is showing these days, the DVD isn't as exciting as it would have been a few years ago.

The facts he pours out are nothing new for many Top Gear watchers, who will be the main audience to this. It's nice to see the Veyron, the Ascari and various other cars, but there's not really much new material.

Nonetheless it's a nice way to kill an hour and the styling of Jeremy don't fade away, so it's always entertaining.

It's not a DVD that you'll re-watch a lot, but it's good for the collection.
