Lovecars: On the Road - S2 - E4
Tiff Needell, Paul Woodman, and the team explore the past, present, and future world of cars, kicking off in the Welsh hills with two very different grand tourers: the Bentley Continental GT Speed and the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring In a nod to the past, Tiff drives the £1.35m RML SWB, a modern take on the famous Ferrari 250 SWB, a time-warp machine from a company which knows a thing or two about building time-honored sports cars. From memory lane to modern tech, Paul takes a glimpse into the future with the Mercedes-Benz EQS 53, the brand's all-electric, flagship saloon. Nick Ponting goes for a spin in the Hyundai Ioniq 5, a retro-looking EV from Korea. And Tiff and Paul are back to their competitive ways as they compare the BMW iX xDrive 50, an electric SUV, with Audi's ludicrously loud, petrol-powered equivalent, the RS Q8.
Lovecars: On the Road: Season 2 - 6 Episode s
2x1 - The Ultimate Head to Heads
August 23, 2023
Tiff Needell, Paul Woodman, and the team test some of the latest, greatest, and most unusual cars from around the world, including an all-American monster truck, and an all-electric newcomer from Sweden. The team compares the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo and the Audi RS 6 Avant. Both can transport luggage and Labradors in style, but which does it better? Alexandra Legouix gets to grips with the Ford Puma ST, the latest fast Ford, and finds out if it lives up to its legendary predecessors. Former Stig, Ben Collins, takes Bentley's finest Bentayga out for a heavyweight test and sees how it stacks up to Lamborghini's loud-mouthed rival, the Urus. Tiff heads to Switzerland with Anna Vinson to explore a winter wonderland in the Polestar 2 - a new electric car with an Eco-friendly attitude, before heading stateside with Paul to test two very different all-American machines.
2x2 - The Most Expensive Cars Money can Buy
August 23, 2023
Tiff Needell, Paul Woodman, and the team test some of the latest, greatest, and most unusual cars from around the world, kicking off in the USA with a pair of ultra-exotic hyper-cars; the Bugatti Chiron and the Pagani Huayra BC. Alexandra Legouix brings you the ultimate guide to EV charging, with the help of a VW ID.3 and a Tesla Model X, and tells you everything you need to know about plugging in and powering up. Paul is let loose in Aston Martin's new superstar, the DBX 707. With 707 horsepower. Could this be the world's sportiest super SUV? Tiff is joined by Italian racing driver Vicky Piria, as they take turns behind the wheel of Maserati's all-new MC20. Nick Ponting becomes a roadie for indie artist Conal Kelly, while back in America Paul and Tiff have their hands on another hyper-car - this time it's the 250mph, three-seat McLaren Speedtail.
2x3 - On Road and on Track
August 23, 2023
Tiff Needell, Paul Woodman, and the team explore all corners of the automotive world, starting with a showdown between two F1-inspired sports cars - the Ferrari Roma and the Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition. Nick Ponting checks out the new Renault Megané, which says goodbye to the old-fashioned engine and hello to electric motors, before Tiff and Paul go head-to-head in the Tesla Model Y and the Skoda Enyaq. Alexandra Legouix joins Paul at Silverstone, the home of the British grand prix. With Tiff in the commentary box, they investigate the thrills and spills of Caterham racing, with a hair-raisingly close call for Paul. Tomi Adebayo tries downsizing, as he heads to the Little Car Company to drive a small car with a huge price tag. And Ben Collins catches up with Paul to see if the McLaren GT is any match for the F1-inspired Aston Martin he drove earlier.

2x5 - From Old to New
August 23, 2023
Tiff Needell, Paul Woodman, and the team test the latest, greatest, and most unusual cars from around the world, starting in Italy in the Lamborghini Huracan STO - a racing car for the road. Ben Collins takes a break from sliding super-cars to explore the latest creation from Arkonik, a company that gives old Land Rovers a new lease on life. Paul and Ben go head-to-head with a twin test of 2 very different takes on a fun car with the Audi RS 3 and the BMW i4. Back in Italy, we take a closer look at the Ferrari Roma. With classic looks, an evocative V8 engine, and clever driver assistance tech, it can make almost anyone look like a hero. Tiff takes a trip down memory lane and looks back at Porsche's Group C racing history - before being reunited with the legendary car he raced at Le Mans.
2x6 - Electric Dreams
August 23, 2023
Tiff Needell, Paul Woodman, and the team continue their quest for the ultimate automotive adventures. Nick Ponting finds out what happens when Ford sends its sensible work truck, the Ranger, to boot camp. Paul's in Switzerland with Anna Vinson to see what the all-new, all-electric, Genesis GV60 is all about. Ben Collins has the keys to a 770 horsepower Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster - an extreme, open-topped supercar designed for sun-soaked Italian roads. Paul heads to the hills in Spain where he checks out the new Honda Civic Hybrid - the latest, even-more-grown-up version of Honda's sensible family car. Tomi Adebayo has a go in Alfa Romeo's new compact SUV, the Tonale. And Paul, Tiff, and Ben test an unlikely trio of EVs. The Porsche Taycan - The Harley Davidson Livewire - and a quadricycle that comes from France, costs about the same as a baguette and accelerates like a bicycle.
