![]() To find out, he drives up a ski slope with the car on its standard road tyres. Having driven the car on the road and scared himself a little, Clarkson deems that the Urus still appears to be a proper Lambo, but he then questions whether it’s any good off-road. As with May’s film – and pretty much all of GT’s production – it’s filmed beautifully in a slick manner. He decides to hit the road to find out, whilst making a joke about the driving modes being in latin. The way in which the Urus has been made also causes Clarkson to be skeptical, as he presents to camera, stating that the “Volkswagen parts bin” had been raided to make this Lamborghini SUV. JC takes said car to Sweden to see whether or not it’s still a proper Lambo.įirst impressions seem to be mixed, as the looks cut the mustard, but the lack of exhaust noise entering the cabin, the high levels of refinement and the addition of turbochargers makes Clarkson wary. If I were to tell you a few years ago that Jeremy Clarkson had taken a Lamborghini up a ski slope, you would have thought I was as mad as a box of frogs, but don’t forget, the Italian supercar giant now makes the Urus. ![]() He also praises A110 for not being stripped out like a trackday special and on the whole, it’s clear he’s rather smitten with it, so it’s little surprise that he went out and bought one. He may not be keen on the styling or indeed the engine choice, but it’s quick to praise the engineering of the car and its high amount of agility, whilst explaining just how light it is compared to its rivals. Despite this, May states that’s not keen on the looks, comparing the car to a “slightly lame tribute act”. As you’ve come to expect, the cinematography from the production team is top notch, making the A110 look achingly cool. Within a few minutes of the segment’s opener you soon forget this as May delivers the review in his usual informative and calm manner. Some may say that this seems to be a bit of a trivial review, given that it feels like quite some time that it’s been in production. ![]() Captain Slow then chimes in, claiming there is one car that bucks the trend, the Alpine A110. The episode kicks off with Jezza stating the fact that France has never made a sports car that sold well, before listing off a few examples. In this show we see James May drive the Alpine A110, Jeremy Clarkson drive the Lamborghini Urus, and Richard Hammond pay tribute to the great, late Jim Clark. This week’s show couldn’t be more car-ry if it tried as it wall-to-wall, well – tent canvas side-to-tent canvas side – pure automotive action. However, I’m delighted to say, I was wrong. ![]() I’ll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive for this week’s offering as I had a sinking feeling it was going to be more of the same. The Colombia Special wasn’t the best one we’ve seen from Clarkson, Hammond and May, plus I wasn’t a massive fan of the pickup film in last week’s episode. After a decent start, season 3 of The Grand Tour has been a bit hit and miss in my opinion. ![]()
