FIRST DRIVE: Singer And Tuthill's ULTIMATE Off-Road 911!

Күн бұрын

Imagine funds weren’t an issue and you wanted to build the ultimate off-road 911 - who would you call first? Well, if you want it to look exquisite and be ready for anything up to and including the Dakar Rally, you want it designed by Singer and engineered by Tuthill Porsche. That’s what the ACS is, and that's what Jack Rix is here to drive.
ALSO IN EPISODE THREE: Jethro asks a very important question: “Where did all the manuals go?” Because the rise of the EV and the proliferation of the auto has seen manuals all but disappear from UK shores. America, on the other hand, is positively rolling in them.
So we grabbed two of the most exciting manuals on sale in the US that we don’t get back in Blighty, and set about proving once and for all that manual beats auto...

There are too many journos banging on about manual gearboxes. Try another tune. It's this sort of dinosaur attitude that's killing the industry. Kids these days see F1, WRC, rallycross, drift drivers etc piloting cars with sequential shift; most won't give a stuff about middle-aged hacks' opinions. Why not bemoan the lack of carbs to tinker with and the loss of advance/retard controls?

Re the manual vs automatic thing, if I could afford to have two cars with one of them being a sports car, it would always be a manual. But only being able to afford one car, and living in a city(LA) where I spend so much time in my car, and so much of that time in traffic, an automatic just makes way more sense.

Maybe invite Steve Sutcliffe and Jack Rix as guests of honour. Don't bring Dickie though, he is just a bad influence 😂 Actually, could you imagine a "Chris Harris and friends" series, where each episode he has a different co-presenter and they review different cars, or do a road trip or something?

@@fatguyonalittlebike3336 not sure what’s so amusing about your comment however here’s a list of manufacturers selling new cars in the UK that still offer manual gearboxes. Abarth Audi BMW Citroen Cupra Dacia DS Fiat Ford Honda Hyundai Isuzu JEEP Kia Land Rover Lotus Mazda MG Mini Nissan Peugeot Porsche Renault SEAT Skoda Suzuki Ssangyong Toyota Vauxhall Volkswagen Most of those brands offer multiple product ranges with manuals. So yes, Europe still offers more manual options than the US.

What? He's driving a rear-engined car on a loose surface...I'd be more impressed if he managed not to drift it. Feels like you made a comment basically to claim you know something others don't, but it's a really odd thing to suggest since we know Jack can drift from plenty of previous videos and there are enough interior shots in this one where he's rotating one way and putting lock on the other way. If this was a drift video, then yeah they're going to do some dramatic interior shots that aren't actually matched to what you see outside. In this case, they're just filming a car. If you're interested in watching drift fails, just skip to the drifting bit later! Even that bit tank went sideways once it left the gravel though.

That's polyurethane sheeting that's used on most stage rally cars. The front is attached to the floor, and then the rear is generally left to hang off of the control arms. It allows the suspension to glide over rocks and other debris. It may look out of place, but it's typically very effective.
