The presenters were given £10,000 to buy a 1970s supercar, the requirements being that the car had to be mid-engined and Italian. Clarkson bought a Maserati Merak, Hammond bought a Ferrari 308 GT4, and May bought a Lamborghini Urraco. Various challenges included a lap of the Castle Combe Circuit and driving from Chippenham to Slough on a set amount of fuel. In the end, none of the cars survived the final journey: The Merak's engine exploded and the 308's electrical system failed, and the Urraco ran out of petrol with just one mile to go to the finishing point.

The GT4 used in this challenge was later bought and being repaired by Hammond, only have to be damaged again when he was in the Petrolheads, where he was being tricked and rammed on his car during a challenge.
