Past V Future | The Grand Tour Season 1 – Episode Guide, Recap & Fun Facts

In this episode, the tent is pitched in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Clarkson and May compare a BMW i3 to a VW GTI, Hammond is taught to drift, and the trio drag races a Porsche 918 against a Veyron and a Nissan Patrol.

[column size=one_half position=first ][button color=”red” size=”big” alignment=”none” rel=”follow” openin=”samewindow” URL=www.grandtournation.com/thegrandtour/season1/episode12] ←EPISODE 12[/button][/column][column size=one_half position=last ][button color=”red” size=”big” alignment=”none” rel=”follow” openin=”samewindow” URL=www.grandtournation.com/thegrandtour/season2]SEASON 2 →[/button][/column]

May’s BMW i3 VS Clarkson’s VW GTi

The show starts with Clarkson and May comparing the BMW i3 to the V Golf GTi. They conduct a road test around London in which they find out that the i3 is cheaper than the GTi because of the tax relief and rewards you receive from the government due to it being an electric car. Clarkson obviously doesn’t like this and starts making fun of it while asking the public if James has thanked them yet.

At London Airport they conclude that the i3 is faster over short distances, but overall, the petrol powered GTi is the faster car. It also has a larger range but the i3 can be recharged for free.

After a race to a pub, the VW is considered the better car.

Conversation Street

They begin with Dubai and how much it has evolved in the past years. Their driving laws have also grown as Jeremy gives an anecdote regarding drink driving. They discuss what should result in being taken to prison in the UK and Clarkson expresses his hate of hot airplanes.

They briefly discuss the Hyperloop train, which will travel at speeds of up to 500mph.

James Meets Winchers

May spends some time with the so-called ‘Winchers’ and spends some time off-roading 4x4s in deep, wet mud. James gets covered in mud and doesn’t enjoy it.

Celebrity Brain Crash

F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo drives a hovercraft to the event, but before landing, crashes and gets sucked into the fan.

Porsche 918 VS Bugatti Veyron

Hammond takes a Porsche to Dubai and forms a race against a Bugatti Veyron. It’s a drag race which the hybrid Porsche easily wins, until it’s faced with a Nissan Patrol 1,900 horsepower Nissan Patrol.

Hammond Learns How To Drift

It turns out that Hammond has always had a stunt driver double. So the boys tell him to go to Michelin’s proving grounds in France to learn how to drift. It takes a while for him to get the hang of it, but eventually he’s oversteering gracefully.

He then has to prove himself against two professional drifters – one 13-year old and a double amputee at Rockingham Motor Speedway.

This moves us onto the finale in which a number of outtakes of Clarkson and Hammond failing at drifting are shown.

2023 Volkswagen GTI Road Test: Putting the 'grand tour' in GTI from Boston to Maine

It espouses the same values of performance, practicality and affordability as it did in 1976.

the grand tour polo gti

BOSTON -- Someone well-versed in automotive history could turn the GT nameplate into an upper-level college class. Race down memory lane and you’ll discover the various suffixes that have been attached to it: GTA, GTB, GTC, GTD, and GTE are among the variations of the gran turismo theme, and each one means something different. GTL? That’s the Renault 4 with the “big” engine (34 horsepower!). GTO ? That’s the classic Ferrari worth a small country’s GDP. Or, you know, a Pontiac . 

GTI appeared on anything from a Citroën BX to a Nissan Sunny in the 1980s before fading away. Reverse up memory lane to 2023, and Volkswagen’s global range stands proud as the GTI name’s last bastion. I took a GTI on a trip from Boston to Mid-Coast Maine to find out how the nameplate represents the gran turismo today.

It took only a handful of miles to realize that my plan to beat rush-hour traffic out of the Boston area was as optimistic as trying to race the sun. But, in hindsight, crawling toward Maine one car length at a time gave me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the eighth-generation Golf GTI ’s interior layout.

My colleagues have extensively covered Volkswagen ’s current infotainment system, and I’m not going to rehash their thoughts ; I agree that the user interface, which is dominated by awkward touch-sensitive surfaces, is as well-cooked as steak tartare. Volkswagen seemingly agrees, because a complete overhaul that will include software updates and bring back at least a small handful of buttons is around the corner (although it won't arrive soon enough to save the revised Atlas ).

the grand tour polo gti

However, it’s worth separating the user interface and the software because there are some pretty good features lurking in the 10-inch touchscreen. It offers sharp-looking graphics, I don't find it difficult to navigate, and I like the ability to show different functions (such as navigation directions and radio options) on the same screen – it saves you the time and trouble of having to exit the navigation widget to find a song.

Beyond the infotainment system, the GTI’s interior feels like a digital remix of the last-generation model's . It remains driver-focused, but the horizontal lines on the dashboard make the cabin appear much wider, and the overall layout isn’t as analog. Despite all the buttons that Volkswagen plucked out, a handful of new switches elbowed their way onto the center console. The automatic gearbox’s shifter is now a small, razor-like device that almost feels like a Porsche 911’s , and the parking brake is electronic.

The driver faces a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster that can display a stunningly wide selection of data, ranging from basic metrics like the car’s speed and the engine’s revolutions to a g-force meter. The rear passengers face, well … the front seatbacks, but there’s a cool feature back there as well. Rather than adding storage nets, which tend to sag over time, Volkswagen fitted clever phone-sized pockets.

As traffic gradually thins, a forest of “LIQUOR STORE” signs inform me that I’m about to cross the New Hampshire border. “Live Free or Die” has seemingly become interchangeable with “Drink Free or Die” in the Granite State, and should I have been so-inclined, there would in theory be enough space for a booze run in the 19.9-cubic-foot cargo area despite two small suitcases already back there. Instead, the day’s mission is simply to reach my destination at a reasonable hour.

“Watch for moose” signs are an indication that my short trip through wine outlet country has come to an end, and traffic becomes appreciably more fluid as I drive deeper into Maine. Since leaving Boston, I’ve spent most of my time in the GTI on I-95, with the adaptive cruise control set to whatever speed seems doable. It’s fine in these conditions: my test car is equipped with the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which certainly takes a great deal of effort out of driving in stop-and-go traffic. Even at 80 mph, the GTI is not overly loud. You can hear the engine, as you should in a hot hatch, but you can still talk.

the grand tour polo gti

Route 1 leads me to the type of twisty, fast-paced back roads that Volkswagen developed the GTI for, and Maine isn’t exactly flat, which dials up the fun factor. Power for the current-generation car comes from an evolution of the last GTI’s turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which develops 241 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 273 pound-feet of torque at a low 1,600 rpm. Forget the 0-60 time. The GTI peddles a type of engaging driving fun that can’t be distilled into numbers, and it does this by sticking to a tried-and-true formula: front-wheel-drive and a suspension pegged on the sporty side of comfortable.

Turn after turn, the GTI reminds you that driving isn’t the four-wheeled equivalent of doing the dishes. It’s not as hardcore as some of its more analog predecessors; it feels more polished than even the last-generation GTI, but it remains the type of car that immediately puts a smile on your face. There are plenty of viable options if you’re in the market for a fun car, but unlike the Subaru BRZ , for example, you’ve got good visibility and the practicality you expect from a four-door hatchback.

On a secondary level, the GTI reminds you that a car doesn’t need headline-grabbing power figures to put a smile on your face. If I toss you the keys to a 602-horsepower Lamborghini Huracán Evo , you’re going to have the time of your life, but you’ll likely break every traffic rule in the book (including a few you’ll probably discover while reading the ticket) before you reach even half of the car’s potential. With “merely” 241 horsepower under your right foot – that’s less than some minivans ! – the 3,200-pound GTI lets you explore more of its performance spectrum without needing to book a few laps at the local track.

There’s some torque steer under heavy acceleration, but it’s not alarming or overwhelming; it’s actually pretty entertaining once you learn how to master it. There’s not a ton of turbo lag, the engine delivers linear acceleration, and the dual-clutch automatic certainly fires off quicker shifts (on its own or via the paddles) than a human could. Is that the point, though? On a track, sure, every second counts. On an open road, however, there’s not a dude waiting for you with a checkered flag, a stopwatch and hopefully a trophy. While the dual-clutch arguably makes the GTI a more comfortable daily driver, that ease comes at the expense of engagement. I’m admittedly part of the "#SaveTheManuals” crowd — I’ve lived in Europe for most of my adult life and I haven’t owned an automatic car in years — but I’m not alone: As rivals gradually ditch the stick, Volkswagen keeps it around because the take rate among GTI buyers hovers around 40%.

While you’re hauling ass going left, right, up and down as you mentally debate the pros and cons of a stick-shift, the folks enjoying the evening air on colorful Adirondack chairs just see a little blue hatchback. The beauty of it is that, at its core, it’s a Golf .

the grand tour polo gti

One aspect of the Golf GTI recipe that hasn’t changed much since the first-generation model went on sale in Europe in 1976 (and in the United States, as the Rabbit GTI , for the 1983 model year) is design. Subtle red accents and a more muscular-looking body kit were the main exterior details that separated the first Golf from the first GTI; Volkswagen wisely chose not to add jumbo scoops and wings. This low-key approach to design characterizes the eighth-generation model as well. Folks who can name a car’s engine code faster than their zip code certainly know what they’re looking at, but I’m not convinced the average driver realizes what a GTI is, let alone knows what makes it more special than a standard Golf. That was certainly the case in the Maine where the GTI hardly turned a head.

And then, there’s pricing. Volkswagen charges $31,625 (including a $1,095 destination charge) for a base 2023 GTI S with the six-speed manual transmission. My test car, a mid-range SE trim, checked out at $37,225 including the aforementioned destination charge, which is stunningly reasonable given the significant increases we’ve seen in every corner of the industry over the past few years. While the term “good deal” is highly relative, even a base GTI offers a highly appealing bang-for-the-buck proposition.

On the surface, “GTI” is just another nameplate that gets pelted your way via various forms of marketing. Dig deeper and you’ll find that these letters have represented the same values since 1976: performance, practicality and affordability. We’ve seen variations of this concept, the MKIII and MKIV cars offered a VR6 engine, but the big picture hasn’t changed for nearly 50 years. That’s why Volkswagen still sells the GTI after many of its rivals quit the segment, and why the model remains the quintessential hot hatch.

Just get it with a stick.

The 2022 Polo GTI is VW's iconic hot hatch made smaller

It's everything we love about the Golf GTI in a smaller package.

the grand tour polo gti

Think Golf GTI only smaller.

The Golf GTI might be the standard bearer for hot hatches in the US, but abroad, Volkswagen packs a similar formula into an even smaller package. Debuting Monday at the 2021 IAA Munich Auto Show, the new Polo GTI is a pint-size hot hatch with a turbocharged punch, though like the rest of VW's Polo range, it won't be coming to the US.

That's a shame, since it sounds like the new GTI will be a real hoot. Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbo I4 engine making 204 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, running to the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. (No manual is available, womp womp.) The Polo GTI comes standard with VW's XDS electronic front differential, helping to move that power between the front wheels while cornering. Weighing in at 2,835 pounds, VW says the Polo GTI can accelerate to 62 mph in a respectable 6.5 seconds.

Inside, the Polo looks a lot like the Mk 8 Golf GTI, complete with plaid seats (thank goodness). A 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster is standard and the Polo can be optioned with either 8.0- or 9.2-inch central infotainment touchscreens, running VW's latest MIB3 software. Other new tech bits from the eighth-generation Golf trickle down to the Polo, including haptic controls on the steering wheel, VW's IQ Light matrix LED headlights and the IQ Drive suite of driver-assistance features, including lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and more.

Given how good the Golf GTI is to drive , we have to assume the smaller Polo is just as fun. Here's hoping we'll get the chance to try one out in Europe someday.

With Clarkson, Hammond, and May bidding adieu to the show, The Grand Tour is getting ready for a reboot, complete with fresh faces and a revamped format

 The Grand Tour Will Reportedly Be Rebooted, Who Do You Think Should Host?

  • Studio Lambert has reportedly won a contract to create an updated version of The Grand Tour.
  • Little is known about the retooled show, but it’s expected to feature new presenters as well as a revised format.

With Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May leaving The Grand Tour , many thought the show was dead. However, a new report suggests that might not be the case.

According to Broadcast , Studio Lambert has been awarded a contract to “develop a fresh version” of the show. Details are limited, but the publication said the studio beat out rival pitches from Shine TV and Orchard Studios.

More: Jeremy Clarkson Says He’s Too “Unfit, Fat And Old” To Keep The Grand Tour Going

The show reportedly hasn’t been formally greenlighted at this point, but Studio Lambert is said to be working on an updated format. The reboot is also expected to have new presenters, although there’s no word on how many or who might get the role.

The latter is obviously the biggest question as the bond between Clarkson, Hammond, and May was almost as interesting as whatever they were doing on screen. It’ll certainly be hard to replicate that as Top Gear found out following their departure.

The Sun quoted an unnamed industry insider as saying, “The Grand Tour is one of Prime Video’s most watched shows and Jeremy, James and Richard have a devoted following, but the guys have made no bones about the fact they’re all advancing in years and they have lots of other projects to pursue.” They added the trio wanted to go out on a high note.

While there are more questions than answers at this point, the show isn’t exactly a stranger to reboots. While it initially had a Top Gear -like feel and roughly a dozen episodes per season, The Grand Tour was eventually retooled to focus on a handful of road trips.

It remains unclear if the latest evolution of the show will stick to this format or try to find its own path. However, with Top Gear taking a “rest,” there might be an opportunity to return to that style format.

With all that being said, what would you like to see out of a Grand Tour reboot and who do you think should host?

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

How this was made.

  • The recycled polyester used in Nike products begins as recycled plastic bottles, which are cleaned, shredded into flakes and converted into pellets. From there, the pellets are spun into new, high-quality yarn used in our products, delivering peak performance with a lower impact on the environment.
  • In addition to reducing waste, recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester. Nike diverts an average of 1 billion plastic bottles annually from landfills and waterways.
