听听看
Oh, that's nice!
天籁啊
Really has that character of the older Porsches.
它浑身洋溢着老保时捷的风范
It has that raw, visceral feel to it.
我有着那种原始的发自内心的感觉
You couldn't be more involved or engaged with this car
要比它更能与车融为一体的话
if you were strapped under the motor.
得要让车把你碾过去了
Some people will tell you that,
有人可能会说
because the engine in this car is way out back,
这引擎是塞在车尾的
like it is in all 911s,
和所有911一样
that it's inherently unbalanced and butt-heavy.
它不平衡车尾过重
I'm here to tell you they're wrong.
我要告诉你他们都错了
Sure, you have to adapt to the unique way 911s go around corners,
当然你得先适应911的独特过弯方法
but that makes them all the more absorbing to drive.
但是这种方式会让你更沉浸于驾驶中
And by "absorbing" I mean engaging,
我说沉浸的意思是被吸引
inviting, exciting, awesome... ing.
被诱惑被兴奋很棒
When you get it right it's so rewarding.
但当你抓住窍门以后回馈是丰厚的
My hand's shaking a little bit.
我手都在抖
I'm good.
我没事
So, you've probably guessed by now -- I like this car.
也许你现在也能猜到我喜欢这辆车
But it does have a few problems.
但它也有一些小问题
Firstly, and ridiculously,
首先难以置信的是
Porsche hasn't developed an infinite gas tank yet.
保时捷并没有造出用之不竭的油箱
Come on, Porsche, let's sort this out.
加油啊保时捷快想想办法
And while we're here,
既然我们耗在这
there's another little problem with this 911 R.
911 R还有另外一个问题
It costs £137,000. That's...
它要花掉你 137000镑实在是
That's a lot of pounds.
一大堆英镑
OK, have a look at this.
然后再仔细看看
All that cash doesn't buy you a radio or air conditioning.
那堆英镑并不能给你买♥♥一台收音机和空调
It does, however, get you a place to keep your sandwich.
但是却能给你一个可以放三明治的空间
Now, to be fair,
讲道理啊
Porsche will fit the air con and the radio
如果你想的话保时捷会免费
at no extra charge if you want,
给你安上空调和收音机
but I'd skip the radio and definitely go for the air con
但是我不要收音机我只要空调
cos it's hot enough to roast a chicken in here.
因为这里热得可以烤鸡了
It's done.
欸烤好了
But there is another, more pressing, problem facing the 911 R.
但是还有一个更严峻的问题考验着911 R
And it comes from Porsche.
是来自保时捷的
That is the 911 GT3 RS.
那是 911 GT3 RS
This car's evil twin.
这辆车的恶魔胞兄
It has exactly the same engine as this car
它的引擎和这台一样
but it also has a giant wing, super-fast double-clutch gearbox,
但是它却有一个大扰流板和快如闪电的双离合变速箱
fatter tyres and a sharper suspension.
更宽的轮胎和更硬朗的悬架
And how much more do you pay for all that extra track-bred performance?
为了这些赛道性能的提升你要多掏多少钱呢
Well, that's the thing --
呃问题来了
the GT3 RS is about six grand CHEAPER than this car.
GT3 RS比这辆便宜6000英镑
I know, it doesn't make sense, does it?
不可理喻对吧
So, what happens when you put them head-to-head in a drag race?
当你把它们放到直道加速赛时会发生什么呢
Don't be stupid, I'm not racing him.
别傻了我才不会和他比呢
That car does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds,
它百公里加速只要3.3秒
a full half-second quicker than this car.
整整比这辆快了0.5秒
It's faster round any racetrack you care to mention.
在任何赛道上都会更快
This car IS slower.
这车就是更慢
That's the whole point.
这才是精髓
Manufacturers are so preoccupied with lap times these days
制♥造♥商们现在过于专注于圈速
they've forgotten about the most important thing -- us.
而忘了更重要的关键点我们
The ones behind the wheel.
坐在方向盘后的驾驶者
Cars like the GT3 RS have become so fast, so capable,
像GT3 RS一样的车很快很厉害
that you'd have to be a Stig to access the performance of the car.
但你得成为试替哥才能全部释放出它们的能力
Aw, look at him go.
看看他开得
They're too clever.
它们过分聪明
The driver has been dealt out of the equation,
驾驶者们被放在考虑范围之外
less of a cog and more of a weakest link.
变得无足轻重变成最弱的一环
He's not going to stop till he runs out of tyres.
他除非轮胎跑完了是不会停下来的
He's run out of tyres.
啊他把轮胎跑完了
Wonder how he's getting home. I wonder if he has a home.
好奇他怎么回家我更好奇他有没有家
The 911 R is all about giving driving back to the driver.
911 R做到了把驾驶还给驾驶者
This car relies on me to make the downshift,
这车依靠我去降挡
it relies on me to quickly up-shift so the revs don't drop too far,
也是靠我来快速升挡转数才不会降太多
it relies on me to keep the butt in line.
依靠我来把车开好
You and the car work together as a team.
车和你像是一个团队一样工作
Missed the shift there, but that's OK.
档没挂进去不过没关系
The car needs me to be a good driver.
车需要我成为好司机
There's nowhere to hide.
没地方可隐藏了
It says, "OK, what you got?"
好像在说你有啥本事
I like that.
我喜欢这样
They say you shouldn't meet your heroes.
人们都说你不应该遇到你的英雄
But they're wrong, you should totally meet your heroes.
但他们错了你绝对应该见见你的英雄
I highly recommend it.
我双手赞成
For years, fast cars have been getting faster and faster.
很多年了跑车们变得越来越快
But they haven't necessarily been getting more exciting to drive.
但他们并不一定让人在驾驶时感到血脉喷张
The 911 R takes things back to basics,
911R 这辆车带我们回归初心
reminds us that sports cars aren't all about the stopwatch,
提醒着我们跑车不一定就是要拼圈速
but the sensation, the experience, the moment.
同时还要有感动体验和重要的那一刻
They're about making us feel connected, making us feel alive.
会让我们觉得我们和车是有关联的我们是活着的
And maybe, just maybe,
也许只是也许
the 911 R is perfection.
911R是完美的
You better not eat my sandwich!
你最好不要吃我的三明治
Happy? Yeah? How happy? I am very happy.
开心吗真的多开心非常开心
I'm in my happy place. You're in your happy place?
我在快乐老家你在快乐老家
I can tell! Right, good for him. So Matt's had his Porsche fix,
我能看得出来嗯非常好马特搞定了保时捷
time now for my classic Brit fix --
该我的英国经典车出场了
cars that have always looked gorgeous
他们看起来总是那么华丽
but never been so gorgeous to actually drive.
但开起来从没有那么华丽
Until now.
直到现在
In the past, cars were designed with the free-flowing hand
在过去车子是真实人类亲手
of an actual human being.
设计出来的
Curves were king,
曲线就是王者
creations brimming with fantasy and escapism,
创意往往伴随着幻想空想
genius and artistry.
天赋和艺术
The only problem was they broke down -- a lot.
唯一的问题就是它们经常坏
They leaked a lot -- all over your drive.
常漏油驾驶时随时都会
They were noisy, they were cold
很吵闹没有暖风
and they were uncomfortable.
驾驶起来不舒服
Nowadays, though, more and more companies
现在越来越多的厂家
are specialising in remaking old stuff better than when it was new.
专门把老家伙们变得比原来更好
Cars like this DB5 from Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell.
就像这辆在纽波特帕格内尔生产的阿斯顿马丁DB5
This exquisite being has enjoyed a full nut-and-bolt rebuild
这个精美的存在经历了细到螺母的重建
to bring it bang up to date.
来让它回归时代怀抱
Now, the engine in this spectacular specimen
在这辆惊人范本车里的引擎
has been what they call "blueprinted" --
他们称它为蓝图
rebuilt from the bare bones of the original
由原装引擎经过
with loads and loads of clever tweaks and twists and tricks
大量机智的的改进和调整
to massively improve performance.
性能有了极大的提升
But, most importantly -- in a classic car --
最重要的是这辆古典车
reliability.
很可靠
You can even spec your 1960s Aston with power steering,
这60年代的阿斯顿马丁甚至能配备助力转向
air conditioning and satnav.
空调和导航
Unfortunately, all this heritage restoration business
不幸的是所有这些修复的经典车
doesn't come cheap.
来得都不便宜
The cost on the road...
这车价值
£1 million.
100万英镑
So how a about a less expensive alternative from Eagle,
另有稍便宜点的选择来自Eagle
who provide a similar bespoke service for fans of the Jag?
捷豹的粉丝能得到相似的定制♥服♥务
This E-Type was in intensive care for over a year
这辆E-Type在过去的一年里受到额外照料
for what they call a zero-mile restoration.
它们把这叫做0英里修复
The result -- a car now superior to when it first left the factory.
