Fifth Gear reviews the 370Z
2009-06-27 17:50:00 Speaking of the European launch of the 370Z, here's the first review of the car from Fifth Gear.
Fifth Gear drives the Focus RS
2009-02-25 01:58:00 Fifth Gear drives yet another fabulous European Ford that we don't get here in North America - and never will. Why "never"? Because when the European Focus finally comes to North America in a couple of years it will be an updated generation... and that means Europe won't have an RS at that point in time to send us. Ford tends to wait a few years into the run of the model before they bring out an RS model... so hopefully when they do we'll also have it here. But we do have to ask ourselves a question: would the current Focus RS even be desirable in North America? Well... 300 HP won't be state of the art in 4-6 years from now: and that's at least how long it would take to get the next RS here (assuming that financial and emissions priorities allow one). The Evo XI and STI will both produce around 340 HP by then... and will be equipped with direct injection and more advanced engine management to get mileage up. And their drivetrain and su...

VIDEO: Fifth Gear pits the Audi TT DSG against the manual transmission
2007-10-06 18:38:00 Volkswagen and Audi are pioneers in the commercialization of dual clutch transmissions under the DSG brand. The TT is offered with either a DSG or manual transmission. The beauty of a DSG is that it has the mechanical efficiency of a manual with lightning fast shifts that help performance and reduce the losses during shifts to provide even better mileage than a manual. It can also provide seamless automatic operation for those who prefer two pedal operation with 10-15 percent better mileage. Vicki Butler-Henderson of Fifth Gear in the UK got a chance to take lap a racetrack in two near-identical TTs where the only difference was the gearboxes. The DSG-equipped car managed to go four-tenths of a second faster and gets better mileage from the same engine. Check out the video after the jump.[Source: Fifth Gear]
Top Gear + Fifth Gear = Final Gear
2007-10-06 12:43:00 The Brits, some people think they are a bunch of arrogant arses, but they know how to make a proper car show. If you are a fan of the British car shows, namely the Top Gear and the Fifth Gear, the place to be is a site called the Final Gear. Here is an excerpt from their About page: "In late October of 2003, Vuk and I (Viper007Bond) were members of the forum at Fast-Autos.net. At the time, I had only seen small clips here and there of the shows as there wasn't really any public way to get either show. So, long story short, the wonderful Vuk started ripping episodes for me and sending them to me. In return, I started hosting the rips on my personal site for the members of the Fast-Autos.net forum. I quickly used up all of my bandwidth though and went to a crazy system where I had different people hosting the episodes to distribute the bandwidth. That didn't work for too long though as the bandwidth was just too immense. Not to mention the site was really ugly (I rock at ...
Barcelona hits the Fifth Gear
2007-09-28 12:23:00 Finally its raining goals at Camp Nou. Last three of their mathces is giving an impression of Barcelona getting back to what they are famous for - Playing attractive football. The last three matches were against really tough opposition - Lyon, Sevilla and Zaragoza. And they did this with the most important players injured (Ronaldinho, Eto and Puyol), that speaks volume. You know, the most warming part of these three victories is the fact that in the heart of it is the two most promising young talents Barca has produced - Iniesta and Messi. The way this year is progressing it looks like Messi will be marching ahead of the contempory players that are around him and develop a class which will be unique and reserved for Legends. All These matches Messi has been fantastic. He is linking well with midfield and particularly well with Henry and Iniesta. In all the attacks of barca there will be a definitive involvement of Messi and Iniesta. There is always a Buzz around t...
