Welcome to the second video from our 35th annual running of Autocar's Britain's Best Driver's Car shootout.
Every year we take the 11 best new sports cars and test them for three days on road and track to decide which is the greatest.
In this year's lineup we have the Alpine A110R, Ariel Atom 4R, Audi RS7, BMW M2, BMW M3 CS, Honda Civic Type R, Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, Peugeot 205 GTi Tolman Edition, Porsche 911 Dakar, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Prodrive P25 to review. They're all fantastic cars - the best of the year, so even the one that finishes 11th is great.
These, though, are the top five. Join Matt Prior as he counts down the winners - which will be crowned Britain's Best Driver's Car of 2023?

£120k for a 205 , no matter how good it is that is simply outrageous.

@felixarbable 7 месяцев назад

Usually these kinda cars are basically shop cars to sell upgrades, like you can probably buy the brake pakage or whatever separately

@Malc180s 7 месяцев назад

@@felixarbable It's a 205. Brakes, chassis, seats, dials, whatever, it's a 205. £12k for the upgrades would be extremely expensive. Fools and their money though.

A 205 in 5th place? Even you seemed underwhelmed in the review of it.

@davidhayes4814 7 месяцев назад

Clearly the 205 is something special and such projects always carry a premium. A Hyundai i20N, which would be a modern equivalent, is little more than 20% of the cost……

@rajkohli81 7 месяцев назад

You seemed to be enjoying the GT3 RS a whole lot more than the Sterrato. Are you sure you didn't choose the 911 on account of predictability??

@johnob1824 7 месяцев назад

my thoughts too..best car there

@christophercatto7184 4 месяца назад

Hi Matt. the footage of the Huracan Sterrato is really interesting. It seems like a nice car to drive in the wet, particularly because an NA engine is more controllable than a turbocharged one.

@DouglasJWalker 7 месяцев назад

For some reason, I think this is the best test review there can be. Trustworthy team

@gerthuizing 7 месяцев назад

205 seems a bit overrated, to me. In the days the 309 GTI 16 was so much better. That was a homologation special that you didn't get in the UK, but with a different rear axle, a longer wheelbase and lager track it is much more stable and much more fun. Everybody that drove one will tell you about endless the sliding (and drifting with a FWD). Faster as well, but Tolman will have that sorted with 200 hp. And besides: the safety is an issue. And what after 30.000 miles? than it is an old 205 again. Big depreciation.

@stephane8200 7 месяцев назад

Why are we looking at Matt Prior in a car 90% of the time? Voice over is also an option. I want to see a car. Not a journalist talking about cars.

@Dyltheboy 7 месяцев назад

People are saying this is boring which I don’t completely agree with. My problem is the conditions and the car choices. Why is there an RS7, Dakar, Sterrato, Civic Type R, and two old hatches in the running for best SPORTS car of the year?

@lastexile1187 7 месяцев назад

Cant see how an offroad Huracan can beat a GT3RS which has topped every single test its ever done.... but guess they have to change it up once in a while. I 'GET' the Dakar that works and has the history but the Sterrato just doesn't make sense but they all sold out so what do i know 😂😂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ Give me a Performante anyday.

Phenomenal cars but had to skip forward a lot. Never changing views, track and nothing else, unenthused host. Unfortunately quite a slog.

@DrPittenstein 7 месяцев назад

Still have no idea how the Sterrato could be better to drive (on road or track) than a regular Hurracan?

@RichardLane-gm1en 7 месяцев назад

Less grip, more compliance. Add in wet weather and you've got a more fun, more mischievous car than the regular Huracan, and that's capable of flying along country roads with loads of performance but a light touch in terms of ride.

@samueldowney2806 7 месяцев назад

Not having driven either, I can confidently say; It isn't. Perhaps it was more (crude) fun on a washout trackday that rendered the entire test pointless, but other that that, it won't be. 2023 the year of the SUV sport scar. Humanity is doomed.

@LarsAgerbk 7 месяцев назад

How can lifted trackday cars beat not-lifted trackday cars? I could respect this order if the track had offroad parts in it. But it doesn't. Seems like the British weather turned the decision in favour of 4x4. 24:56 "on track it is not the nicest of them all but it is good" And yet....

@nonick8490 7 месяцев назад

What I would appreciate greatly is a summary of each car's data at the start of each section! That would allow some perspective for comparing them much better! The way it was done here is horrible, you have to painstakingly search for any info about the cars in some subtitles, for a few of them it is missing entirely!

@thomasheuer1916 7 месяцев назад

Conditions were too limiting for a fair conclusion. British kit cars can't be taken seriously for everyday.

@chrisjohn3008 7 месяцев назад

@m3procar 7 месяцев назад

If you want to review cars like these, than learn to drive them on the limit. You were sort of driving them towards the limit, then tried to catch them, but couldn't hold them there, looked very on/off the limit when you tried. Take a couple of proper drift courses and learn to keep a car on the limit. If you can, show us more from the outside instead of watching you trying to drive the cars. You seemed very much out of your comfort zone. Not a good video!

ffs guys how many more times?? As someone who hasn't the means to do this stuff himself, if you want to get a feel for what the cars like, the ONLY way is to show the apex, hand movements, feet, dials, mirrors (what other accessories does a car have?)..to just show the dudes face might be good for the ego, but he might as well be poodelling round a carpark. Don't just give your opinion, give the drivers view of the experience. WHY NOT JUST DO THAT AS WELL??. Is it deliberate?? In short wake the fk up to the bleedin obvious.
