Fifth Gear Tonight: Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Porsche Panamera GTS, RoadYacht GTR & new MGB GT

A new episode of Fifth Gear on Discovery tonight with Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Porsche Panamera GTS, RoadYacht GTR & new MGB GT. Our weekly reminder of what’s on the new series of Fifth Gear seems popular, so here we go again with a look at what Fifth Gear has on offer this week. Vicki Butler-Henderson and Jonny Smith take to the track with a pair of powerful German super saloons – the Mercedes CLS63AMG and Porsche Panamera GTS – to see which comes out on top.

Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing – too tight for comfort?

Is the cabin in the new Mercedes SLS too tight for comfort? We weren’t hugely enamoured by the styling in the early camouflaged shots, but we came round enough when we saw the car in the flesh and accept it as more an homage to the 300SL than a pastiche. And despite some concerns that it won’t stack up against the SLR on the road, the news that Mercedes are working on an SLS AMG Black Series should address that concern – at a price.

New Audi Q7 (2013) to shed weight. But no Audi Q9 planned.

The 2013 Audi Q7 will be much lighter than the current Q7 The Audi Q7 was rather late to the SUV party of the noughties, not hitting the road until 2005. That meant the Q7 had a bit of an edge when it launched, as it was newer than its competition, but it also means the Q7 is still soldiering on when its competition has already launched newer, shinier models. But Audi are working on fixing that, and fixing the biggest criticism of the Q7 in the process – its sheer weight and size.
