Top Gear S25E04

The fourth episode of BBC Top Gear Season 25 is all about the fastest car ever to emerged from the United States, a post-war cult classic Citroen, and two of the most exciting cars ever to emerged from the Land of the Morning Calm, almost.

The biggest highlight of this episode is Matt LeBlanc trying out the fastest car in the world that can scare away the European exotics on the drag strips, the all-new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon with its 840HP Supercharged V8 and specially-made drag tires. Then, he puts the Demon to the test as he is tasked to aid the landing of the world's most technical aeroplane to land on the runway, specifically at the Armstrong Flight Research Center, the ER-2.

Rory Reid, on the other hand, samples the most exciting cars ever to come out in South Korea, well almost. There was Kia's brand new high-performance saloon sold in South Korea, the Stinger, and Hyundai's GTi contender that is (still as of now) not sold in South Korea, the all-new i30 N. Meanwhile, proving that the i30 N is the real GTi contender, they've summoned Stig's teenage cousins to answer the question amidst the wet weather. The GTi did it in 1:39.3 while the i30 N did it in 1:34.6.

Then, Chris Harris pays tribute to the legendary Citroen 2CV and see what it's like driving it with Matt LeBlanc interrupting his fun in their very own adventures with the French classic and later racing against 2CV drivers in a race.

Ed Byrne and Dara O Briain are this week's Stars in a Reasonably Fast Car and in that segment, in wet conditions, Ed did it in a 1:50 while Dara did it in 1:53.2.
