The Grand Tour:The Cars


The Grand Tour isn’t all trips to Barbados and pretending to be super-army soldiers. There are also cars. Here are 12 of the best to expect in this series.
Aston Martin Vulcan

A 7-litre 800bhp-plus track-only bruiser that’s as British as moaning about the weather


Ford Mustang V8 GT v Ford Focus RS
Old-fashioned Detroit grunt meets European turbocharged trickery. Clarkson and Hammond present the cases for each


Porsche 911 GT3 RS v BMW M4 GTS
Two German track-day powerhouses. Clarkson approaches with an open mind, but then remembers one is owned by Hammond




Honda NSX
May makes a rare track appearance to test this supercar. Mind-bogglingly technical and detailed ... and the Honda seems quite complicated too


Abarth 124 Spider
A sucker for a farty exhaust note and optional black bonnet, Hammond puts the fruitiest version of Fiat’s new roadster through its paces


BMW M2
The smallest member of BMW’s family of high-performance M cars and one that elicits a surprising conclusion from Clarkson


Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 
It’s Italian, it’s beautiful. What more do you want? Clarkson peers around his rose-tinted Alfa glasses to see if it’s any good




Jaguar F-Pace v Bentley Bentayga v Range Rover
A cross-Europe SUV showdown between expensive and sporty, very expensive and sporty and the one Jeremy’s brought along

Fifth of people in UK will suffer from poor health before age 30 Researchers said that a high proportion of the population will not reach their pension age in good health A fifth of people in England cannot expect good health beyond their 30th birthday, according to analysis of the nation’s wellbeing. By the age of 50, most people will have at least one long-term health condition, such as serious mental illness, asthma or diabetes. The figures, based on data from medical records, calculate that the amount of time during which people can on average expect to be in good health is more than a decade less than official estimates. Delaying the onset of such significant health conditions by even one year could save the NHS more than £3 billion a year, researchers said. The research, by Outcomes Based Healthcare (OBH), uses data from GP and hospital records to determine people’s “healthspan” — the length of time  they can expect to live in good health. It foun...

Slaves of the Caliphate The kidnapping, rape and murder of the Yazidi women of Iraq drew the world’s attention to the brutality of Isis. Mariane Pearl is now working with the women as they tell their chilling stories. Some of those who managed to escape were photographed in traditional dress and interviewed by Seivan M Salim       Seivan M Salim Published: 13 December 2015   (all photographs by Seivan M. Salim/Metrography) Mariane Pearl, interviewed by Christina Lamb , was in London earlier this month to launch a short film of interviews with Yazidi women, the ancient religious minority targeted by Isis last year. It was the plight of these women, trapped in the mountains of northwest Iraq after their husbands, sons and brothers had been slaughtered in their thousands in August last year, that alerted the world to the horrors of Isis. Forced out of their homes in the city of Sinjar, tens of...
