This time, there's a battle between the powerful, Audi RS6; the fast, Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, and the Italian grand tourer, Maserati Coupé. The agile super-minis--Ford Fiesta, Honda Jazz, Nissan Micra, Citroën C3, and the hot-hatch, MG ZR--are put to the test, as Richard sets out to find Britain's fastest white van driver in a Ford World Rally Transit van. In the meantime, a humble Lada Riva gets an extreme makeover, as the experienced team of Lotus transforms it into a beast. Lastly, the Irish actor,
Michael Gambon, is the next star in a reasonably-priced car.
