...some angry cyclists...

...and I throw a sandwich out of the window.
我把三明治扔出窗外
All that...

But first, Aston Martin has just launched a new car.
但首先阿斯顿马丁刚刚发布了一款新车
And here's Richard Hammond to tell us all about it.
有请理查德哈蒙德给大家讲述
This is the new V8 Vantage.

And, well, it's not an ugly car, is it?

I mean, I'm not sure about this colour.

You'd be on the phone to your doctor if your wee came out like this.

But the shape itself is stunning.

This is one of those superstar cars

that leave a wake of dropped jaws
能惊掉一群人的下巴
and phone camera flashes.
还能吸引无数闪光灯
And as the smallest, punchiest,
而作为马丁产品线中
sportiest car in the Aston line-up,
最小巧最有力最运动的车型
it's fast too.
它也非常快
0-60 takes three-and-a-half seconds.
百公里加速3.5秒
So you're not gonna be embarrassed by 911 Carreras.
这样就不会被911卡雷拉羞辱了
Top speed, 195.
极速313km/h
But here's the thing.
然而问题是
Astons have always been beautiful
阿斯顿的车总是很美
and fast in a straight line,
在直道上也非常快
but when you're making a sports car,
但当你造一辆跑车
that's the easy part.
这都是简单环节
It was when you dug deeper under the skin,
当你深挖外表之下
into the areas you couldn't see,
探究目不能及的地方
that in the past they often came up short.
那就是他们以前的短板了
The trouble is, the company has never had the money
问题在于他们公♥司♥从来没有像保时捷
or the manpower of Porsche or Ferrari,
或者法拉利那样的财力或人力
and you could sense that in their cars.
你在车里可以感受到这一点
They just didn't feel as well made
它们就是不如竞争对手
or well-engineered as some rivals.
做工精湛或者制♥造♥优良
That means they sold mainly to people
这意味着它们的目标客户
listening to their hearts and not their heads,
相比理性更注重感性体验
because your heart says, "I want an Aston"
因为你的内心呐喊着 "我想要阿斯顿"
even when your head says,
然而大脑告诫你
"That door doesn't fit properly."
"车门装得不太好"
But this is 2018.

This car can't be nice to drive, "for an Aston".

It's got to be good, full stop.
它一定得是 "这很不错句号♥"
So, let's start with the interior,
所以我们从内饰开始看
a place that normally tells you straightaway
从这儿一眼就能看出来
if corners have been cut.
有没有偷工减料
And the news in here is good.
这方面的情况不错
Everything you see is brand new,
你看到的一切都是新的
not warmed-up leftovers from an older model.
不是旧设计炒冷饭
And it all feels properly put together...
给人的感觉也算做工精良
as it should in a car that costs £121,000.
对得起它12万1千英镑的价格
And if you push down on the electric height adjustor,
如果你把电动座椅推到最低
it has the lowest driving position
它的最低驾驶坐姿
of any car I've ever been in.
是我见过最低的

准确说它出自奔驰AMG部门
Yes, this will make people of a Brexity persuasion choke on their real ale,
没错这会给英国脱欧的支持者一记响亮的耳光
but look at it this way.
但要这么想
Why waste money you don't have
你本身就囊中羞涩
developing an OK engine,
没钱开♥发♥好引擎
when you can buy in a brilliant one?
那为什么不直接买♥♥更棒的呢
Besides, there's a plaque here that says, look,
而且这里有一块铭牌写着
it's been inspected by somebody at Aston Martin.
它经由阿斯顿马丁的什么人检验过了
Presumably to make sure those slapdash German engineers
大概就是确保那些马虎的德国工程师
have done things properly.
别出什么乱子吧
But although the Vantage has Mercedes lungs,
尽管Vantage有着梅赛德斯的肺
the engineers have tried to make sure
工程师仍要努力确保
it sings with an Aston voice.
它有着阿斯顿的歌♥喉
Yeah, in an AMG, this engine doesn't make this noise.
没错在AMG里引擎是这种声音
In a Merc, it's all oom-pah bass.

Whereas Aston Martin have added

And there's too much Alcantara. This will be all right when it's new,
而且欧缔兰面料太多了新的还好
but buy one of these second-hand,
如果你买♥♥一辆二手的
and it'll be like using somebody else's flannel.
就像用别人擦过的毛巾一样
Still, in the big scheme of things,
