Top Gear magazine DVD


The DVD, which is shot in the Top Gear style (close-ups of design details faded in and out, speeded-up clouds, occasional dark corners) features laps of the 'Ring, roadtesting, interior shots as well as behind-the-scenes featurettes.

On both promo films, it sounds like Richard Hammond may be narrating but in the Aston V8 section there is a shot of a bespectacled Aston engineer and Sabine driving around the 'Ring.



She "interviews" him (I use that word lightly) about the V8's stats and, based on this, I sure hope she doesn't replace JC in the next season of TG.

Anyway, the overall structure of the DVD is as follows:



1. Jaguar
A. Promotional film
i) ALC Concept
ii) Testing Prototype
iii) New Jaguar XK8
B. Extras
i) Design film (history of Jags, sketches, etc.)
ii) Stats page



2. Aston Martin
A. Promotional film
i) The New Vantage
ii) Testing
iii) At the 'Ring
iv) Details
B. Extras

ii) DB9 and Vanquish (the other DB Cars)
