In Top Gear season 11 episode 4, the hosts embark on various challenges testing the limits of some of the world's most powerful cars. The episode starts off with Jeremy Clarkson testing the new BMW M3 on the track against the Audi RS4, in a battle for the title of the best four-door sports car. With both cars having over 400 horsepower, the competition is fierce and the hosts push the cars to their limits to determine a clear winner.
Next up, James May takes a 1960s muscle car to the drag strip to race against a modern-day sports car. In this contest of old versus new, May aims to prove that classic cars still have value in terms of raw power and speed. Comparing the raw power of the two cars shows a lot about how far cars have come, and if older cars with less horsepower can still compete with newer models.
For the final challenge, Richard Hammond takes a Bugatti Veyron to Germany's challenging Nürburgring track to attempt to complete a lap in under 10 minutes. This is a daunting task, considering the track's length and the car's massive 1000 horsepower, but Hammond is determined to push the car to its limits. Along the way, he runs into some obstacles, including traffic and technical difficulties, but ultimately he aims to complete one of the most grueling challenges any driver can attempt.
