Japanese buying guide: from £1k to £180k CHRIS HARRIS DRIVES THE SUPRA! “This is one of the strangest cars I have ever driven.” OWN THE ICONS Inside the weird world of Japan’s Rolls-Royce TOYOTA CENTURY New McLaren GT + Ferrari 812 vs Aston Martin DBS TRIPLE G some were absolute dogs. After those, I got an Audi A8 with a W12 engine. That drove like a Seventies Rolls – it carried so much momentum. For the last few years we’ve had Range Rovers. They’re practical and, although they’re massive, they’re actually a bit invisible – there are so many on the roads. For my personal collection I prefer older cars. I love Sixties Bentley Continentals. They were the last properly hand- built cars. I’ve had 10 or 15 over the years and still have three, one of which is a Fastback. I’ve also got an S1 and an S2. Old Bentleys are like Chippendale furniture – they’re so unique and all you have to do is reupholster the seat and they’ll keep going. I love Jags too – I had the XK120, an E- type Low Drag Coupe and a lovely MkX. An old motor trader friend of mine said: “That’s a manual MkX, that’s as rare as rocking horse sh*t. ” Rarity is something I look at when buying cars, but shape and beauty are the main factors. I loved my Aston DB6 Volante and have had a couple of Rolls Corniche convertibles. I’ve done the pre- war stuff too, with a Rolls 20/25 and a Lagonda. A while back I had a copy of the Rover JET1 prototype built. It was a childhood obsession after I went to see the original in a museum – I just thought it looked incredible. I was driving down the Old Kent Road in it recently and a bloke rolled down his window and asked if it was the jet car. I said “Yeah that’s right. ” At the next set of lights he asked if it actually had a gas- turbine jet engine in. I said: “No, of course it bloody doesn’t. ” Recently, I bought a 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG, and it’s of the best cars I’ve ever owned. A lot of the cars I’ve bought have been what I wanted when I was young, so I thought – what would suit me now? JOOLS HOLLAND Musician, band leader, TV presenter… classic car lover?

When it’s this! The VW ID Roomzz concept! Look how cool it is, with its not- a- typo zed- tastic name and interior designed to resemble – you guessed it – a lounge. Yep, there’s a whiff of your dad dancing at a wedding to the ID Roomzz. A slight hint of a politician doing a party- policy rap. It’s VW, one of the biggest, most traditionally play- it- safe carmakers in the world, trying oh- so- very hard to be down with the kidz. We’ll let you be the judge of the results. What the ID Roomzz previews is, well, the roomiest member of the all- electric ID family that Volkswagen will launch later this year. It’s a seven- seat 4x4 with Level 4 autonomous driving ability, a very digital cabin and rotating seats. The idea? When someone’s not in charge of steering and pedal pushing, they can do a 180 and join the rest of the passengers for a good old chat, and to drop some dad jokes. Thanks to 300bhp, the car can get from 0–62mph in a Golf GTI- ish 6. 6secs, and go on to 112mph. Not ludicrous pace, but more than quick enough for a seven- seat SUV, no? Range is estimated to be 279 miles. VW reckons with a 150kW fast- charger, you’d have 80 per cent of battery power on hand after a 30- minute plug- in pit- stop. Inside it’s all very concepty – we wouldn’t expect a production version, due in 2021, to keep social- spinny chairs or quite so many screens, nor the 22nd- century steering wheel. The air- filtration system, mind you, will be big news in the car’s target market: ultra- polluted urban China. Not coincidentally, the car made its public debut at the recent Shanghai motor show. Question is, do you think the ID Roomzz is cool, or does it leave you catching some zzzzzs? Ollie Kew IT’ZZ THE VW ID ROOMZZ CAR NEWS How to make a pure- electric schoolrun 4x4 cool? Just add zeds WHY YOU SHOULD BE FOLLOWING. @CHRISLABROOY JUNE 2019 › TOPGEAR.COM 022 INSTA FAN VW has confirmed its smaller EV hatch will be called ID.3, and have a range of up to 342 miles. Pre-orders open now WHO KNEWW hat if you want a Mercedes S- Class with the view from a fifth- storey apartment? What if you want a car like the BMW X7 but you have functioning eyes? So many questions. Hoping to answer them is the new Mercedes- Benz GLS – it’s a staggering 77mm longer from grille to exhaust, 22mm wider and has a 60mm longer wheelbase than the old one. If Merc builds one bigger than this, continents will sink into the sea. All of the seats fold and adjust electrically, plus there’s a six- seater version, with two individual middle seats, so you can watch movies or YouTube cat fail compilations on screens more than 11 inches across. Sorry: there’s no AMG V8 version yet. But the engines are interesting. All the petrol ones get ‘EQ’ mild- hybrid electric boost tech and – get this – Mercedes says the car is so good off- road, it’s included a ‘CarWash’ mode, which lifts the car, closes the sunroof and turns off the wipers, so you can get the thing hosed down with ease. This is Peak German SUV geekery. Ollie Kew TOPGEAR.COM › JUNE 2019 023 If you guys really want to see a big luxurious SUV check out the new Lincoln Navigator. There’s a big one and a small one. The small one is bigger than this.

Kieran Self Pointless ego car for privileged morons who have absolutely no regard for the environment JOhn029 It’s a SsangYong from the rear. Tomas Lindahl IT’S UGLY.

AND FOR THOSE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND THE BIG SUV THING, I SUGGEST YOU TRY MARRIAGE AND 3 KIDS. Jean Yang COMMENTS: MERCEDES- BENZ GLS THE GOOD THE BAD THE UGLYI f you want a nice watch, you’ve got to be prepared to pay for it, right? Well, just like in the car industry, there are plenty of companies who are more than happy to relieve you of almost limitless quantities of money for things that are lovingly fettled over many hours of highly skilled toil. But that’s not the only way. If you don’t care much for how a watch is made, life is easy: you simply go to a big shop – probably at an airport – that has aisles filled with cheap, battery- powered watches and choose whichever one catches your magpie eye. That approach works perfectly well for most watch buyers, who are not looking for a watch to pass on to the next generation, just something that goes with a new jacket. But you might be prepared to put in a little bit more thought and consider things like craftsmanship, the brand’s history and the powerplant. The vast majority of watches are quartz, which are cheap and accurate. But there is something soulless about them being powered by a gradually depleting metal cell filled with noxious chemicals. Wouldn’t you prefer something poison- free and powered solely by clever engineering and the movement of your hand? The difficulty is that a mechanical watch is expensive to make, as it has many moving parts that need to be carefully assembled and will need servicing. That doesn’t mean you need to start selling organs to get your hands on one. The internet is full of vintage mechanical watches for next to nothing, but there’s a high chance they’ll cost more to get running than they do to buy. Even a new mechanical watch doesn’t need to be silly money. There are loads to be had for a few hundred pounds. One leaves a lot of its rivals scratching heads. Six years ago, Swatch launched the Sistem51, an automatic- winding watch that is assembled entirely by machines and costs well under £200. The number refers to the 51 components, less than half the number for most movements, meaning there is less wear and tear and less to go wrong. But nothing lasts forever, surely? Well, the first examples are still going strong and experts reckon a 10- to 20- year lifespan is realistic. Not long enough to pass on to a grandson, perhaps. But at prices like these, he can buy one for himself. Richard Holt HORSES FOR COURSES WATCHES Whatever you want, and whatever your budget, there’s a watch out there for you. JUNE 2019 › TOPGEAR.COM 024TISSOT BLUE EDITION Another one that scores very highly in the bang-per-buck stakes is Tissot (part of the Swatch Group).

Since then, it has built on the range and now offers stainless-steel cases, and has even gone in collaboration with the likes of the fancy menswear brand Hackett London – note the little bowler hat-styled date window. The movement is made from a material called ARCAP, an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc with anti-magnetic qualities, which prevents the movement from needing adjustments over time. It has a 90-hour power reserve and comes on a proper leather strap, all for the how-on-earth- do-they-do-that price of £152; hackett.com UP TO £1000 UP TO £3000 BLOW THE BUDGET UNDER £200 TOPGEAR.COM › JUNE 2019 025ESTABLISHED 1885 ON ROAD.

FARER.COM Different by design Chronographs have a legendary status in the horological world - from racing iconic cars, to scaling the highest peaks and most famously landing on the moon, it’s a watch built for adventure. The new Mechanical Chronograph collection has been developed with the Swiss Made ETA 2894-2 Elaboré movement at its heart, to produce a refi ned and shallow-profi led 39mm case. Our watches are inspired by the halcyon era of watchmaking, when interesting colours and contrasting textures were combined with the very best craftsmanship. Each of the dials is rich in three- dimensional detailing to accentuate the Farer design aesthetic, whilst the use of unique colour combinations create a bold and contemporary statement.MODEL 3 WITH 93-MILE RANGE A Canadian 3 has launched with a 150km range and price of $44,999. EVs costing under $45k qualify for a $5k grant, so this scoops the discount, but has the range of a 10- year-old Leaf.
