  • tell him for the top three supercars from the Frankfurt Motor Show.

  • Now you might notice that we normally do a top five.

  • But there were some pretty high profile absentees from the show, including Gatti, Ferrari, Koenigsegg.

  • So we thought we trim it down and keep it to podium positions.

  • And we start with this really quite special, isn't it?

  • This is called the Lamborghini Sharm.

  • I think I had a girl at school on your show anyway.

  • What is it?

  • It's a hybrid supercar.

  • Hypercar even, you might say a vent door lineage.

  • So it's a big V 12 engine, mid engined, a serious, serious piece of kid.

  • But this car is a hybrid.

  • In fact, it doesn't have lithium ion batteries like 99% of all the hybrids out there these days.

  • This thing has super capacitors.

  • What are those?

  • Well, they're a lot more power dense.

  • And lift your mind batteries.

  • These ones are placed in the bulkhead between the engine on the rear seats.

  • And the thing about super capacitors is they can soak up the charge and release the charge at the same rate.

  • So the idea here is you can stomp on the breaks and fully charged a super capacitors.

  • And then, as soon as you get back on the throttle, it releases that energy as a boost up to 80 miles an hour on Phil's in talk.

  • When you're changing gears, it's a single clutch gearbox like the aventador.

  • So you need that talk Phil to smooth out the changes.

  • Hybrid motor.

  • It's about 34 horsepower boost.

  • Not that much.

  • It's attached to the gearbox on that accompanies this matter 6.5 liter V 12 from the Aventador, but upgraded with titanium in Let's Say, Now produces about 770 odd horsepower.

  • Add on that 34.

  • You end up with 800 and seven horsepower.

  • Give or take, that makes it the most powerful Lamborghini ever.

  • It's also the fastest Lamborghini ever north, 62.8 seconds.

  • Top speed, 217 miles an hour.

  • So this car is absolutely not messing around.

  • And then we need to talk about the design, don't we?

  • Because at the front here you're noticed.

  • These lights have taken from the Tres O millennia.

  • That was the all electric concept the Lamborghini released a couple of years ago, quite striking.

  • And as we move down the side of the car, they've taken quite a few cues from the contest, from the nose across the roof and down to the back that is called the Gandhi.

  • Any line one continuous swipe your finger.

  • Easy to draw.

  • If I knew how to hold a pen around the back, we get more contests, references.

  • So the kind of raised rear end triple tail life that's all contest, apparently.

  • And down the center, a version of the Paris Scorpio periscope.

  • Eo, I'm sure someone will correct me on the Internet.

  • I pronounced that wrong, which is basically allows you to see out the back for a very narrow slip from the rear view mirror.

  • It's quite striking thing, but this is what Lamborghini should be doing, right.

  • Proper bedroom poster stuff, the interior, By the way, it's pretty much a vent door, mostly invented or switch gear, but with a new portrait shaped screen in the middle of the dash, a sign of things to come from Lamborghini.

  • And that's the point of this car.

  • It's not just a one off showcase to get loads of attention at the Frankfurt show.

  • No technology is there to prolong the life of the naturally aspirated V 12 and V 10 engines.

  • This super capacitors hybrid technology.

  • This is how they're going to make those incredible sounding 12 be tens live on for the next generation of the event.

  • It'll the eventual replacement on DDE for the Huracan replacement to so rest assured Lamborghini on about to resort to turbo charges like everyone else, Which is good news.

  • Price.

  • Yes, I've just been told they are building these.

  • They're gonna make 63 of them and they're gonna cost two million euros plus local taxes each.

  • That's a bit of a bug in these days.

  • Okay, so the BMW Vision M concept and the significance of this car right here is that BMW's M division A gonna build a standalone supercar BMW?

  • A, of course, was never on M product.

  • And I have to say we saw pitches this thing, and it was revealed to three months ago in the reaction in the top gear office wasn't fantastic.

  • We didn't really get the clashing color scheme in the super wedgie shape, but haven't seen in the flesh.

  • I've completely changed my mind, and I absolutely love it.

  • It just looks different, doesn't it?

  • It looks interesting.

  • There's hints more than a hint, in fact, of the M one supercar from the seventies in their little bits of I eights, maybe in the front end and those flying buttresses.

  • We need to talk about the tech on this car because it's a hybrid like the I A.

  • But it's done in a very different way.

  • Behind the back seats, you've got a turbo charged four cylinder engine that produces about 300 horsepower.

  • Then you've got an electric motor on each axle, so it's proper for will drive even when it's in E v mode.

  • And BMW says, even with the petrol engine switched off just in evey mode, it is faster than the I ate with the engine on the motor's working together, which is quite significant.

  • So in total, it's producing about 600 horsepower.

  • Plug it in at home, and it will do 62 miles evey only rain, so you could realistically use this thing as a commuter car and then come the weekend, you cool on the engine and got the full 600 horsepower naught to 60 in three and 1/2 seconds.

  • I think it is 186 miles an hour.

  • Flat out.

  • Quite senior numbers.

  • Proper supercar numbers.

  • This is called electric orange.

  • I believe I'm actually quite enjoying the way that you got that, Matt Silver, the electric orange, the carbon fiber down there.

  • It hurts.

  • The eyeball was a little bit, but it works.

  • This car weighs about 1700 kilos.

  • BMW claim if being a pure evey, it would have weighed 22.1 tons.

  • That's why they're going with a hybrid.

  • That's not why they're not making the leap to full electric.

  • Okay, What else gonna tell you?

  • A carbon fibre tub.

  • Gullwing doors.

  • Very sparse interior.

  • Speaking of which, I've been given a special not to be able to sit in this car.

  • I haven't done this before, so bear with me.

  • I'm gonna go bum first.

  • Try not to take any of the carbon fiber with me as I get in.

  • There we go.

  • Was that elegant?

  • A little bit.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • All right.

  • So you're sitting super low.

  • These seats are integrated into the carbon fibre tub on dhe covered in memory foam.

  • There, actually super super comfortable really reclined proper supercar position in front of me.

  • I've got this incredible butterfly shaped wheel.

  • Whether that'll make production or not, I'm not sure.

  • And in front of that, this curved crystal display which I'm sure in the future dimension will have holograms nor sorts of augmented reality things dancing across it.

  • In fact, they do say that when you're driving at speed in something called boost plus mode, in the entire windscreen becomes on augmented reality screen overlaying graphics and the best racing line and breaking points on a race track for you.

  • Um, what else can I show you?

  • Very sparse.

  • No other buttons in here.

  • These, according to the press, release a gyroscopic cupholders.

  • So you're never gonna spill your lot in the BMW vision.

  • And next he didn't expect BMW to do it like everyone else.

  • All right, right.

  • Not so much of a supercar is a supercar killer, But look, it's the new Audi Rs six.

  • I probably more excited about seeing this than anything else in the show.

  • Have you ever seen the car that's more fights than this?

  • It's a proper, proper wide boy.

  • This 80 millimeters wider than the standard a six event.

  • 40 millimeters Wider than the old Rs six.

  • It just looks brutal.

  • It just looked proper.

  • This thing, doesn't it?

  • What can I tell you about it?

  • Well, four liter bi turbo V 8 592 horsepower.

  • It will do naught to 62 in 3.6 seconds.

  • Will do 189 miles an hour, flat out proper senior supercar numbers, those.

  • And because the bodywork is so inflated, only the roof, the tailgate and the front doors are actually lifted from the standard A six event.

  • The whole rest of it had to be changed.

  • But I mind that because if you're going for a top of the range card, don't forget the Essex on the S four, of course, have now switched to diesel, which is better, not choice.

  • But it didn't leave that headroom for this to be utterly mental.

  • And fortunately, Audi has delivered.

  • Nobody does fast estates quite like Audi today.

  • What they done to the chassis?

  • Well, we've got self leveling air suspension.

  • There's 48 votes anti roll bars, the same that you get in the Lamborghini er so it should drive properly.

  • We know you know, expecting, handling, heroics and this thing.

  • Tail out.

  • Power slides.

  • That's never what is being about.

  • It's been about four wheel drive, maximum grip, super fast.

  • Eight speed twin clutch gearbox.

  • This color is gonna be an absolute beast.

  • Goes on sale early next year, costing from about 90 grand.

  • And the big question on everyone's lips is this when I am G e 63 s.
