Now on Top Gear.
It's all about luxury. Oh, yeah!
A Rolls Royce for two beautiful ladies,
Tanner drives the new $250,000 Porsche 911...
It is awesome!
...And we hit one of the richest towns in America
to see if we can put one over on the locals.
Wow. Is this a real Ferrari?
It says "Ferrari" right up there.

New Jersey...
Home of Atlantic City, the birthplace of Bon Jovi,
and more landfills than any other state in the union.
It's also one of the best places
to snatch up used-car bargains.
Our challenge was to buy the best high-end car we could
for $5,000.
Then, to see who chose best,
we drive them through New York to The Hamptons,
the playground of the rich and famous,
to try and convince the locals that they were the real deal.
This is a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
I got it for $5,000.
You can't even get a beat-up Camry for 5 grand.
Look, I like Cadillacs... I always did...
but this is a whole new standard of elegance.
Everything about this car is grand.
Look at this gas flap.
It's like a rudder!
I wasn't the only one to buy British.
That's exotic?
I'm sorry your husband passed away.
How are you dealing with it?
I didn't know you were 140 years old, Adam.
I didn't know you were a junk-bond salesman.
Allow me to introduce the 1982 Jag XJS.
Mm-hmm. This thing is beautiful.
- Here's the thing...this probably rides pretty good, right? - Excellent.
This rides and has performance.
Look at it... low-slung.
It looks like a cat about to attack.
See, the only cool thing about this is it has a V-12.
Well, this one's part
of a very popular americanization program,
where they put a Chevy 350 small block in there.
[ laughs ]
Oh, come on... it adds a little redneck.
To an otherwise
almost overly-sophisticated piece of excellence.
A little redneck?
You have to drive this thing without shoes or teeth.
It's not that bad. Did you hear it rumble in here?
[ engine revs ]
No way.
[ horn honks ]
Look who got a Ferrari.
Foust: You did not. I can tell you that.
I always wanted a Ferrari 308, and I finally got one.
You did not get one. You bought a kit car.
This is no Ferrari. Look in there.
No, I don't even have to look in there.
I can see it's too short, the intake doesn't work.
This is a Faux-rarri.
There is a little of bit of Pontiac Fiero in there.
You know, it's a kit car.
You buy a cheaper car and replace the outside
with a fiberglass version of a cool car.
This is an '88 Fiero.
It was built on the best year of the Fiero.
Look at that. Your car is incontinent.
As you're driving this car, and you see,
how people look at it like it's a Ferrari,
but then you see the Fiero gauges,
Doesn't it just make you feel dirty inside?
It looks great!
But it's not a Ferrari,
And it's not gonna make it in The Hamptons.
Wood: Bickering wouldn't prove anything.
Wood: What are you doing? Getting in the car.
Yeah, but it's not right-hand drive.
I know.
[ laughs ] The door doesn't open?
So, we started on our journey to The Hamptons.
Our first challenge was at an airport 50 miles away.
The drive gave us time
to get to know our cars a little better.
Ferrara: This is the definition of luxury... Rolls-Royce.
This was the first unibody Rolls ever,
and it has hydraulic rear suspension.
Load it up with beer, dead bodies,
Money stolen from common people...
Doesn't matter.
It just glides like a shadow.
Okay, couple of bad points.
I'm sitting this close.
Because this is as far as the seat goes back.
A/C doesn't work.
I can't even tell you how much horsepower it has,
Because Rolls-Royce doesn't disclose that.
They would just say the horsepower is sufficient.
However, the brakes on this are...Not so sufficient.
See? Look at him.
He's driving to the country club.
I own the country club.
Foust: I loved these things as a kid.
They were just menacing.
It has inboard rear brakes,
A very sophisticated rear suspension,
And is actually pretty quick for how comfortable it is.
When you get a car like this that has a cat for a name,
The problems are considered character.
Tachometer and speedometer do not work at all.
The horn work? No.
Wood: So you either think kit cars are cool
or they're owned by underfunded posers,
that live in their mom's basement.
I, obviously, think they are cool.
Now, I've seen a lot of kit cars,
and this one is actually really close.
Kit cars were supposed to be
a certain percentage different from the original.
So that there wasn't copyright infringement,
but this was so close that Ferrari actually sued
the company that made it and put them out of business.
My Ferrari looks great,
but I quickly discovered one of its weaknesses.
Okay, I'm gonna get hit.
[ horns honking ]
How ya doing, sweetheart?
Foust: That was a bold move... pulling out
iIn your 22-horsepower Ferrari into live traffic like that.
Ferrara: I didn't think he was gonna make it.
It cruises beautifully at 30.
It just is taking it a long time to get there.
I think you're upsetting the natives there, Rutledge.
That was one ugly dude.
[ breathes deeply ]
Clearly you can't drive the Fiero like you would a Ferrari.
That's what I'm learning.
Congress moves faster than that Ferrari.
Ferrara: Rutledge almost got himself killed,
but he wouldn't give up.
I think you guys aren't realizing
I'm driving a true exotic car.
It's not just a nice car, it's exotic.
It's a Ferrari on the outside; it's a Pontiac on the inside.
Rut, you're driving a vehicular transvestite.
Well said.
Wood: After an eventful 50 miles,
we arrived at our first challenge.
[ straining ]
Foust: You okay? It's english.
Ahh, beautiful runway.
You know what feels great is being a Ferrari owner.
- It's not even Ferrari-ish. - It's amazing.
All right. Let's see what we're doing here.
"The engineering of a great dream car
"should stand the test of time.
"To see which of you chose best,
"you'll now make a top-speed run.
"The car that comes closest,
to hitting its original top speed wins."
What will this do top speed?
Back in its day, this did 112.
[ laughs ]
Wow.
- I don't believe that. - It did 112.
This thing is way too heavy to get up that fast.
I believe 112. What does that thing do?
123.
- What?! - No, no, no.
- That's what the Pontiac did. - Yeah, that's a Fiero speed.
There's no way the top speed of a Ferrari 308's 123.
It's like in the 140s.
It's 144, actually.
So you have to do 144.
You know what? Fine.
I'll do 123 on my way to 144.
I'll do them both.
Yeah.
- He's a bigger idiot than I thought. - Yeah.
This thing, original speed... 142 miles an hour.
Get out of town. With the v-12.
I think with a Chevy, it's gonna be even faster.
Way. Yeah.
Adam, you're straddling the yellow line.
You know what that means?
I have no idea what that means.
It means you're going first.
Watch and learn, kids.
When you say "learn,"
does that mean we have to use our passenger door?
Shimmy on over there.
I'm just gonna sit over here on beauty and power.
[ engine turns over ]
Smoke the tires! Light them up!
Light them up [bleep]
It's a Rolls-Royce, you idiots!
You have to roll the window down.
I can't hear what he was saying.
Oh, that's obscene.
Look at that... smooth as silk.
[ engine rumbles ] did you hear that shift?
That was a difficult shift to second.
30, 35, 40.
He is just not very far away.
I don't need to go fast. I just need to look good getting there.
I can still read the license plate. That is sad.
85, and I'm running out of room to stop.
- You know what they rate the horsepower of those? - What?
Sufficient.
Get out.
- Swear. - Lame.
That didn't look like 112.
See, it's not about speed,
it's about looking good getting there.
Wait a minute. Hold on just a second.
Yeah, 'cause I think this whole thing was about speed.
- No, it says "top speed." - It says "speed" right here.
85. Bull[bleep]
I don't think you hit 85.
I hit 85.
Miles an hour?
Yeah. Then I needed room to stop.
- I'm up. - I'm going.
[ engine turns over ]
Okay, here we go.
[ engine revving ]
This is terrible.
Kind of rearing to go here.
I'm gonna go ahead and go...
[ tires squealing ]
See ya!
Come on, baby, that's what I'm talking about!
[ coughs ]
Why does he always have to do that?
'cause he has a small [bleep]
I've got no speedometer whatsoever,
But it feels like about 100.
142 for that car was really fast.
Looks like we got 120.
Oh, geez. He might really do it.
And I think that's the end of the road.
[ brakes squeal ]
Brakes actually work pretty good.
I'm looking for a fireball. You got anything?
[ tires screech ]
Hello.
Oh, sorry about the burnout there.
- Real nice. - Maybe a little excessive.
148 miles an hour.
- You did not! - You're so full...you did not.
Yeah, unless the speedometer is wrong.
Does your speedometer work?
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- It works? - Oh, yeah.
You know what? I can beat it.
I can do 149.
- That? - Yeah.
Why 149? Are you just one-upping me,
Are you adding just one number to my number?
Picked that number out of thin air.
You're gonna be surprised. Real mature, one-upper.
That's the slowest red car ever made.
You know you're not even gonna see triple digits.
That's not true.
[ engine turns over ]
Foust: All right, Ferrari.
- Sorry. That was really close to your name, wasn't it? - That's true.
[ laughter ]
Come on.
[ laughs ]
Oh, this thing runs like crap.
Still in second gear.
Shift!
Foot is on the floor.
[ laughs ]
Really?
Really?! Come on!
Do something!
That is depressing.
I am gonna have to lie.
[ car door closes ]
Ferrara: How are you? - Real good.
- Okay. - What was your speed?
- How'd you do? - I'll be honest...
I was going so fast, it was hard to look down.
40? 45?
50? 55?
Did you make 60?
I didn't. I hit 55.
Seriously?
State speed limit, I did not break.
That's all she had. That's it?
That is so sad. I'm ashamed.
What a huge piece of [bleep]
And thank god it looks so good,
still the best-looking car here.
It's terrible.
Let's go.
I am happy to be climbing back into that.
I have the best-looking car here.
Buffy and Anastasia... they're all gonna love this.
Ferrara: We made our way to The Hamptons for the next challenge,
but which of our cars would fit in best?
Vineyards, money, Rolls-Royce... I am in my element right here.
Foust: Holy cow.
That is a ranch right there.
People with their own equestrian tracks.
[ posh accent ] I think I was gonna take Buffy out for a ride this morning.
Wow. Look at these houses.
Look at that!
What the hell is that?
Wood: You know, when people are buying an exotic car,
they're really trying to make a statement.
Maybe it says, "I've arrived," or, "I'm fancy now."
This car screams, "bravo," and, "yeah," all put together.
Adam's says,
[posh accent] "Pardon me. Do you have any grey poupon?"
[ dog barks ]
We arrived at the location for our next challenge...
the ultra exclusive bridge golf club
where membership will cost you $750,000.
Rutledge's Fiero was so nervous it wet itself.
"A great dream car is one people want to be seen in,"
Mm-hmm. "to find out
"which of you chose the most appealing car,
"you will pick up and drive as many Hamptonites as you can
"to an event here at the bridge golf club.
"You have one hour. Most people moved wins."
[ laughs ] Foust: "Most people moved wins."
Yes.
Gentlemen, this is The Hamptons.
This is all about image, okay?
This is an image.
This is offensive. You know what?
My Ferrari is as real as the women's breasts up here.
Well, that's a fair point.
Thank you, thank you.
Are you gonna tell people it's a Ferrari?
It may not even come up.
We got one hour. I'm gonna prove you guys wrong.
Ready? Yeah.
Let's go.
How do we know if they're Hamptonites?
They'll be looking down on you.
Wood: Ha! Right.
Hold on, world.
[ tires screech ]
Coming up, Tanner gets to drive a real dream car...
The all-new Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
It is awesome!
And our cars come face to face with high society.
[ car backfires ] Oh!
Luxury cars are status symbols,
and there's nowhere status means more than The Hamptons.
To see who could fake it best,
we'd all bought used luxury cars for $5,000,
and we were just about to find out if we could blend in.
You've got one hour. I'm gonna prove you guys wrong.
Ready? Yeah.
Let's go.
How do we know if they're Hamptonites?
They'll be looking down on you.
Wood: Ha! Right.
Hold on, world.
[ tires screech ]
We had been hired to chauffeur women
from a beauty salon in town to a gala event at the golf club.
Here we are, fellas.
Sorry!
God... Hi, ladies.
Foust: Adam and Rutledge pounce first.
Woman: What are you doing?
This is just a safety precaution.
I think I smell a fire coming out of...
- Did I scare you? - I'm sorry. -What?
Is the car on fire? I do smell something.
It's his car. What you smell is his car.
I'm sorry. We're just blocked in here.
Can you move that piece of crap out of the way?!
Okay. You ready?
Hold on. Accelerates pretty fast.
And...there I go.
What's up? Hey, Ferrari.
308.
Whee!
Ferrara: You ever been in a Rolls-Royce before?
Yeah... not one like this, though.
Yeah, she's special.
Wood: This is the 308... Uh-huh.
which you may recognize from "Magnum P.I."
Did you ever watch that show?
I wasn't alive.
Okay.
It's a little warm in here. Can you turn on the A/C?
You know, A/C carries a lot of germs, you know?
So I prefer the cross ventilation to cool you down.
I can go faster.
No! No, that's fine. We're good, we're good.
Wood: You know, the thing about exotic cars
is they draw a lot of attention.
Obviously, a very beautiful woman like yourself
find the cars very attractive.
I'm sure that's what drew you to the car initially.
[ car backfires ]
Oh!
Sorry. Was that us?
That was... yeah, the car backfired.
I just haven't had a chance to get this
into the Ferrari dealership.
It's really hard to get...
and the car shut off. Okay. Okay.
I'm sorry. I just need one... there it goes.
That's good. Here. Let me just open her up a bit.
Yeah! There we go.
I'm starting to feel really carsick,
because it's so warm in here.
Okay, I'll speed up.
No.
Can you just pull over right here?
We can run in here to the ladies' room.
Ladies, I have found you a rest room.
Okay. Great.
[ car backfires ]
Oh, yeah.
Look at that... just hit 40!
[ laughs ]
[ applause ]
The king of the road, I think we established, is the Jag.
How did you establish that?
- In our top-speed test. - We had one challenge.
[ laughter ] Well, it still shows what you can get for 5 grand,
But if you had a little bit more to spend,
You could buy yourself a real dream car, like this GT3 RS.
[ applause ]
Absolutely stunning,
but Porsche has come out
with an even faster car this year,
and guess who got to drive it.
This is the fastest,
most powerful production Porsche ever.
In development, Porsche's engineers,
who don't tend to overstate things,
code named it "The Beast."
This is the 911 GT2 RS.
Foust: GT2 RS...
over 620 horsepower, 205 miles an hour,
and zero to 60 in 3.4 seconds.
It eats the asphalt, just devours it.
To get these figures,
Porsche had to cut down the weight drastically.
So they got out the ax
and made the GT2 RS just over 3,000 pounds,
an astonishing 400 pounds lighter
than the next model down... the 911 turbo.
They lost the rear seats,
The all-wheel drive went out the window,
and even the metal badge on this carbon-fiber hood
became...a sticker.
Even though this car started out as a mechanic's pipe dream,
eventually 80,000 engineering hours,
and nearly half a million miles of testing were invested in it.
If you want to buy the GT2 RS,
it will cost you a cool 245 grand,
but you're too late.
Porsche will only make 500,
and they've already sold the lot.
As with all 911s, the engine is buried in the rear,
a legacy of the Volkswagen Beetle it was derived from,
and a key to its high-strung handling.
This is a good, old-fashioned beast,
that could get you into real trouble.
The remarkable thing about Porsches, especially the 911,
is that if you take it easy,
you could even call it practical.
I mean, it's got pretty good storage space,
with all the business in the back,
you've got a lot of room up front.
The visibility is second to none,
and this 911 is just about as comfortable.
Sitting in traffic as it is shredding up a mountain road.
You can't say that about too many cars
in the 200-mile-an-hour club.
So, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS could be the world's fastest car,
that you could legitimately take shopping.
Porsches have always made cars with a split personality.
I'd met the practical shopping car.
Now I wanted the raging, snarling beast to bite me...
...fling me from the track in a red mist of rage.
[ tires screech ]
Now, a car like this is undeniably built
to basically test your moxie as a driver.
That's right, I said it... moxie.
I will say that this does not feel like 620 horsepower.
I expected so much more drama from this car.
I expected to be scared.
This was bugging me.
Where was the beast?
Something was wrong here.
Maybe in trying to create a practical supercar,
Porsche had grabbed the beast...
...and cut off its horns.
So I called Porsche...
And they had an answer.
The surface temperature is now reading 161 degrees,
that is really bad for a turbo-charged engine.
They're extracting a little bit more
out of the same amount of fuel,
and when you have hot air,
it basically wants to combust before the spark even lights.
A car could lose as much as 70, 80 horsepower.
Just in temperature swing.
So if I was going to unleash this beast inside the GT2 RS,
then I'd have to take a journey
to the one place you can escape the California desert heat,
a faraway place called night.
[ siren wails ]
12:00 A.M. Downtown Los Angeles.
Temperature... 60 degrees.
Welcome to Beastville.
Sun's gone down. Entering the city.
Now, all this light-to-light business
is not what you would really think.
The GT2 RS was designed for,
and I would agree with you.
[ siren wails ]
Unless, of course, you had a fleet of officers there,
whose sole purpose
was to close these streets down for your enjoyment.
This is for you.
It's not for me, 'cause I'm barely even gonna enjoy this.
[ sighs ]
[ siren wails ]
It is awesome!
[ tires squealing ]
Now that the cold air is out...
[ engine revs ]
This thing is back to being a beast.
As I raced through tunnels and dark avenues,
I finally discovered what this car was really about.
Yeah!
That is what I am talking about.
[bleep]
It's like a dream come true.
The ground rush from the curb, the lights, the poles...
Everything is ridiculous.
It looked like I wasn't the only beast out hunting.
Rivals.
Okay, it looks like we have
the inevitable california competition at the light.
And this was some serious competition:
A 500-horsepower classic '69 Chevy Nova,
one of the great muscle cars;
and an American legend... a 2009 Dodge Viper SRT10,
zero to 60 in under 3.6 seconds.
Both had the muscle to send the Porsche packing.
[ engines revving ]
Not surprisingly, the Porsche whipped the competition.
That Nova sounded serious, too.
[ tires screech ]
Whoo-hoo!
The beast inside the GT2 RS was sated...
and so was I.
This car had finally lived up to its fearsome reputation.
In its 45-year run, there really hasn't been a bad 911.
You can't say that about Corvette, Lamborghini,
or Ferrari.
And there's that temptation to call this one.
The latest, greatest, and fastest ever...
The ultimate 911.
It seems to have found this perfect balance,
between a livable supercar and the ultimate driving utensil.
But, then again, that's what we thought about the last 911.
Wow. Is this a real Ferrari?
Ferrara: The ladies of The Hamptons
Get a ride in style in our cut-priced luxury cars.
Oh, yeah!
We're on a drive from New Jersey to The Hamptons,
to find out how much luxury you can get for just 5 grand.
- And some of us are doing better than others. - Really?
At least the girls got into my car.
And unless these girls need their teeth cleaned,
no one wanted to get into your creepy dentist's Jag.
All right, I did get off to a slow start,
but things were starting to look up.
Wood: I was first to deliver my posh local to the event.
Adam hadn't been so lucky.
His girls had walked off and left him halfway,
and Tanner had only just started.
I'm your ride. Sorry. Don't mean to rush you in there.
Just running a little bit late.
Foust: Yeah.
Okay.
All right, we're out of here.
Wow. Is this a real Ferrari?
It says "Ferrari" right up there.
Wood: Here we go.
Woman: My friend has a car like this,
but this is so different.
It's all custom.
A Rolls-Royce for two beautiful ladies.
Well, thank you.
We're off.
I'm glad you climbed into my car.
Not too many people will just climb straight into the Jag,
You know.
It can be kind of intimidating,
Mainly because of its raw power.
Wood: Getting a little hard to shift in here.
Might have to check... oh, boy.
Sorry. Just let me... Oh, there...
Yep, there it went.
Is that smoke?
Ferrara: Smoke?
Yeah, coming from...
It's like a dust... dusty kind of smoke.
Watch. We speed up... look, it goes away.
It'll be gone in a minute.
- It's a V-8, right? - Right, it's a V-8.
- You want to feel the thunder? - Oh, yeah!
Surprisingly fast, right?
Wait... how much is this car?
Thank you so much.
I hope you have a wonderful time.
It was nice to meet ya.
So you really were only interested
in your relationship for two years,
and then you were getting out of it
for like a year and a half or two?
Yes, pretty much.
Good gosh.
Are you a gemini?
Close.
- Taurus. - Taurus.
Wood: Oh, you feel that power?!
Um... Is this really a Ferrari?
Ferrara: Here we are, ladies.
Don't get the door.
Thank you.
- No, I'll let you out. - Thanks. Nope, nope.
Thank you!
The hour was up,
and I only managed to deliver two girls,
but surely Rut's pseudo-supercar
couldn't have done any better.
How you doing?
Fantastic.
She still alive, or did she die from fumes?
She loves the Ferrari. Let me get that for you.
Really? How does she feel about the pontiac?
There you go.
Hey, thank you so much.
I hope you have a wonderful time.
- It was so nice to meet you. - You too.
Oh, look.
Ferrara: It's the XJ moron.
Wow. There's a girl driving Tanner's car.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, I think it's gonna be... What is he doing?
Oh, gosh.
Yeah, there you go.
And your sister's wedding...
how much fun you gonna have with that?
Thank you. I had no idea a car could go sideways.
Just remember... this one's mine. Can't have it.
Really? Yep, thank you for the drive.
Wonderful driver.
Yes. Thank you.
Really good girl.
Wood: Why was there a girl driving your car?
She wanted to buy it because it is so awesome.
Oh, stop it.
No, she totally dug the thing from the moment she saw it,
And the V-8... everything about it.
Is that a hickey?
No, it's not a hickey. What are you talking about?
People don't give hickeys anymore.
Anyway, are we going back at it again or what?
Round two, baby.
That's it. We're done. It's been an hour.
It has not been...
Is that the only girl you got in there in one hour?
You got one?
[ laughs ]
Coming up, our luxury cars get their final challenge.
Now it's time for something we call big star, small car.
That's where we take a celebrity,
put them in our small car, let them rip up our track,
to see who can set the fastest lap time.
And our celebrity this week is is from "Torchwood."
Please welcome Arlene Tur.
[ cheers and applause ] How you doing?
Thank you! Yay!
Thank you. You ready?
Yeah, I'm ready, but are you ready?
Oh, I'll be fine. I'm taking all these guys,
and we're gonna be in the hangar.
What kind of driver do you think you are?
You conservative? Are you composed behind the wheel?
- Extremely composed. - Really?
- All the time. - Okay.
Nobody has anything to worry about.
Okay, great. We will see you after your lap.
All right, go get 'em.
See you later!
[ laughs ]
Here we go.
[ scoffs ] terrible start.
Don't know how to drive stick. I'm really... [ groans ]
She is flying through that first turn.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
She's happy about it. All right.
She's coming into the teardrop.
She's moving at a pretty good speed.
Now, you know you got to be careful here.
Let's see how she does.
[ speaking italian ]
Which means, "I'm having a lovely time here on 'Top Gear'".
Thank you so much for inviting me, gringo."
[ speaking spanish ]
♪ a-la la la la la la ♪
Hug it.
Hug it, hug it, hug it.
Nice and close past the tire.
She's moving at a pretty good speed.
Now, the track is a little moist,
which makes it more grippier, if you will.
Here, slow down.
Where am I going?
GPS is busted in the car, as well,
but she's doing pretty good.
This is the roughest part of the track.
She's not on the brakes at all. Look at that.
Nice!
What?
I'm a racecar driver, mama! I'm a race... uh-oh.
[ tires squeal ]
And across the flag! She hit the flag!
Oh, that's great!
[ laughs ]
[ cheers and applause ]
Arlene, come on up.
Arlene Tur!
[ cheers and applause ]
- You did so good. - Oh, my God...
Have a seat.
Did you have fun?
[ laughs ]
I had so much fun.
Now, you hit... no.
- Two cones. - Two? Only?
- You broke a camera. - What?!
You scared a cameraman. [ laughter ]
And you did something...
You broke the flag.
You hit the flag when you came in.
- No. - Yes, you actually hit the flag.
Where can I hide?
So, you're pretty much just put your foot down and hold on.
[ sighs ] You know, I told you I was very composed.
Mm-hmm. So I had to let it rip.
Well, I'm glad you let it out here,
'cause you're gonna kill somebody. I know.
Well, I've never been told.
That I can actually go as fast as I wanted.
You don't go fast on the roads, which is responsible.
What is your daily driver?
A Jeep, a Jeep Wrangler.
Extended back.
It looks like a little pickup truck.
It's sweet. I love it.
Okay, so, now this segment is about dream cars,
all about our dream cars.
What would be your dream car?
Ooh, I have a couple.
Good.
The Shelby Cobra is a favorite.
Excellent choice.
I would say vino wine with the pearl stripes.
Oh, you got it all picked out.
- Yeah, I don't care if it's a kit car. - Okay.
I don't have to have the really, really expensive one,
'cause I also want the Mercedes G-Wagen.
- The G-Wagen. - Cabrio, the convertible.
Okay, let's say a man's coming to pick you up for a date.
Is there any car he could pull up where you just went,
"Oh, hell no"?
[ laughter ]
No, not really.
Dodge Caliber? No.
What about an '83 Civic Wagon?
It's all about the guy that pulls up, not the car.
Really? Yeah.
I don't believe you. What?!
Guy pulls up in a Pontiac Aztec, you're gonna be like...
No, that's not right. No, I disagree with that.
I don't care about the Aztec.
All right. Now, tell me about "Torchwood."
Death doesn't work in "Torchwood"?
They tried to explain it to me.
This season, it's called "miracle day."
And something happens where everyone stops dying.
It turns out to be a problem.
There's gonna be overpopulation,
and it's how Torchwood, the CIA, the government,
and everyone begins to deal with this question of immortality.
So, what do you play on the show? What is your character?
I play a cardiothoracic surgeon.
Well, here's what I don't understand.
You're a surgeon... save people's lives that don't die.
Exactly... nobody's dying,
but everybody's still getting hurt, the pain still exists,
and there's an overpopulation...
Not enough resources, not enough staff.
It's the house I grew up in.
Yeah, pretty much.
So, I have to ask you, what did you think of our Suzuki?
It's nice.
I didn't know I could take it that fast on the corners.
I really...
I like your style,
'cause we pretty much have the same style.
How do you think you did, honestly?
- Terrible. - Terrible?
I think I did terrible because I've never trained,
I didn't know when to brake,
I had the clutch in probably the whole time I was driving.
Right.
So I'm thinking I'm right under buzz.
That's the happiest he'd ever be in his life,
I got to be honest with you.
[ laughter, applause ]
You're so bad.
- Did you give it your best? That's what I want to know. - No!
- You didn't? - I mean, I need more time on the track.
- So, you think more time, you could have done better? - Of course.
I'll be honest with you...
I don't think you could have done any better.
What? Why?
'Cause you did it in 1:40...
What?
What?!
2...
[ crowd oohs ] What?!
Point 4. Liar!
- 1:42.4. - Liar! Liar!
Look at that. You know what that means?
I won!
That means... I won!
I won! I won! I won!
You won. I won! I won!
I won! I won!
- How did I do that?! - That's great!
Arlene Tur!
[ cheers and applause ] yeah! Whoo!
Whoo! Whoo-ooh!
- How did I do that?! - You were great!
- That's crazy! - See?
That doesn't mean I'm good.
That just means they weren't...that daring.
[ laughter ]
That's great. That's crazy.
So, your dream car is a Suzuki.
- My dream car's a...a red Suzuki. - A red Suzuki.
Ours are not. Our dream cars look like this.
Wood: Our discount luxury cars
had been living the high life in The Hamptons,
but now it was time to bring them home
to Jersey City, New Jersey, for their final challenge.
After winning the chauffeuring challenge,
it was one-all for me and Tanner.
Adam had to win here to salvage a tie.
What kind of place is this?
Foust: It's a metal recycling plant.
- It's basically a mortuary for cars. - Wow.
And it is the site of our next challenge.
"Dream cars cost serious money,
"and for that, your expectations are
"that you'll get serious engineering and build quality.
"To see which of your cars was built best,
"they'll be placed under an electromagnet.
The fewest parts lost wins."
Foust: Okay, let's do this.
Wood: Not worried at all? Ferrara: Not at all.
Ferrara: We were in the final challenge
To see who got the best dream car for $5,000.
So far, Tanner's Jag had won the speed test.
Rut's K-Mart Ferrari somehow won the chauffeuring challenge.
[ car backfires ] oh!
But now it was all about build quality.
"To see which of your cars was built best,
"they'll be placed under an electromagnet.
The fewest parts lost wins."
[ chuckles ]
What are you smiling about?
Oh, 'cause your car's fiberglass.
- You think it's not gonna lose anything. - Yes! My car is fiberglass!
It could lose the engine. Everything else could come up.
So, look, your car weighs 5,000 pounds?
- Close to 5,000 pounds, yes. - All steel.
This thing weighs what?
4,000 pounds.
All steel.
Mine?
2,900.
All crap. Mostly fiberglass.
Okay, the quality of these cars
is what's gonna keep them together.
This was a challenge made for my Rolls.
Here was my chance to get back in the game.
All right, I'm ready.
- You sure about this? - Positive.
Okay, let's do this.
- Not worried at all? - Not at all.
- Come on, magnet. - Look at the hood moving right there.
That hood's fine.
Yeah, come on down, come on down.
Watch the windshield! Oh, my gosh.
Come on down. Don't break the wind...
Ha ha! Just come on down on that thing.
Oh, man.
See that, gentlemen? Quality. Hold on.
Oh, he's going for the trunk.
Bring it down, bring it down, yeah.
[ laughing ] oh, yes!
Oh, look at that! Oh!
- Okay, okay. That's good. - Hey, don't scratch it!
- Look at his face. - That's your jack.
That doesn't count 'cause that's an accessory.
Build quality, all right. That's quality.
My Rolls put up a good fight.
Now it was time for the bearded boy and the plastic Pontiac.
She's ready.
Something's got to be loose.
Cover up. Okay. Is that gonna help?
- Little lower. - That's good there.
Keep it coming, keep it coming.
Perfect. Don't change a thing.
Yeah, plenty of room, plenty of room. That's good.
No, no, no. That's totally fine there.
Don't hug me.
There we go. Look at this!
- Look at that quality. - I don't even think it's on.
I don't think it's on. Hold on.
You don't think it's on?
Oh! Oh!
Yes!
It's on.
That means your car is so cheap.
That it doesn't have enough metal in it,
to even react to a magnet.
It's garbage. Get it out of there.
Wood: At last, it was Tanner's turn
to put his Jaguar XJ-crap under the magnet.
Come on, come on, come on!
- If he won this... - You got this.
- ...he'd take the title. - No problem.
- Handmade. - Yep.
All right! Bring it over!
I'm pretty nervous. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Yeah, you should be. Turn that thing on.
It's on now.
Oh, you can hear it.
Go easy.
[ laughter ]
Turn it off!
Just ripped it off the hinges.
You know, I think we're done here.
[ laughter ]
Does that count as one part?
Totally scratched it up.
Come on, now. This is not funny.
This counts as one, right? No, it's two.
Two wipers. That's two different parts.
This is three.
That's three. That's three.
I'm taking my car, and I'm leaving.
I'll just wait here. Nothing fell off mine.
Ladies and gentlemen, my Ferrari.
[ cheers and applause ] I know. Thank you.
She is a thing of beauty.
Could you please stop insulting these people?
Tell them what it really is. It's a 308 P.O.S.
[ laughter ]
It's a winner. I know that much.
It is not a winner. It is horrible.
That last challenge was ridiculous.
It only won because it's made of plastic.
I could have showed up in a big wheel, and it would have won.
Well, I guess you should have showed up on a big wheel and won.
Yeah, with this Ferrari racing suspension.
Look at this. [ laughter ]
Good gosh. All right.
On that note, that's all we've got.
See you next time. Thanks for watching.
