An Itchy Urus

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy Clarkson heads to Sweden to test the new Lamborghini Urus SUV on slushy, slippery roads and in a wall to wall action ice race across a frozen lake against Grand Tour driver Abbie Eaton in a Porsche 911 Turbo. Back in the UK, James May pays a rare visit to the Eboladrome to try the Alpine A110, a French sports car that hopes to succeed where most French sports car fail by getting more than two people to buy it. Also in this episode, Richard Hammond profiles Scottish racing driver Jim Clark, a quiet and modest man whose achievements on track made him arguably the greatest of all time, before his life was tragically cut short.

Our Take

A fairly standard car-focused hour that leans on the Urus ice race for its big moments, and Abbie Eaton’s Porsche gives Clarkson a genuinely close fight worth watching. May’s Alpine A110 segment is the highlight, affectionate and nerdy in the best way. Hammond’s Jim Clark tribute is respectful but feels brief for such a towering figure. Solid stuff, just not memorable.
