In addition to The Grand Tour, Jeremy Clarkson also has a column in the British newspaper Sunday Times, where he gives his verdict on the most varied four-wheel machines — in total 28 automobiles passed through his hands during the year 2018. What were then the Jeremy Clarkson's cars of the year?
The well-known presenter and journalist selected the five that impressed him the most and we started with Lamborghini Huracán Performante , which had previously received its approval, having chosen it as its car of the year 2018.
According to him, Huracán is not only fast but also exciting, giving it five stars out of five possible.
I like to think that Lamborghini is run by a group of 10 year olds… Of course, it belongs to the Germans these days, (but) did you realize, if it weren't for Audi being the director, the Huracán would have lasers on the roof.
His second elected may come as a surprise to many, when he emerges as elected the phenomenal Porsche 911 GT2 RS , despite not being a fan of the 911. Like Huracán, he gave him five stars out of five.
The GT2 RS is suitably a brilliant sports car. And this from a man who was never a Porsche fan.
THE Alpine B5 is, according to Clarkson, “easily the best Series 5 I've ever driven…”. Very fast, courtesy of a 600hp V8, it's also very comfortable and a pleasure to drive. It's one of his 2018 picks, giving it four out of five stars.
It really feels as close to perfection as a car can be.
The new Aston Martin Vantage it was also one of the highlights of 2018 for Jeremy Clarkson. An avowed fan of the previous generation, the new one has taken Vantage to new heights and here's the recognition. Despite some criticism, such as those directed at the headlights and the navigation system, it still guaranteed its presence in this list and gave it four out of five stars.
Finally, the fifth car voted by Jeremy Clarkson as one of the cars of the year 2018 is the new Bentley Continental GT , a contrast to the previous “Conti”, defined by the presenter as a footballer's car. The new one is so good that he still hasn't decided which one he likes better, the new Continental GT or the rival DB11. It also received four stars out of a possible five.
A shiny piece of style completely over-the-top as if it were the icing on a properly crafted cake.
