CHEERING AND APPLAUSE 00:00:18.360 - 00:00:20.360
Hello and welcome to Top Gear. Now... 00:00:23.080 - 00:00:26.720
..I think you'd be pretty impressed if I told you we drove a car 00:00:26.720 - 00:00:31.360
to the bottom of the sea and then drove it out again, right? 00:00:31.360 - 00:00:35.000
Right? Well, this week... 00:00:35.000 - 00:00:37.480
..we do half of that. 00:00:37.480 - 00:00:39.040
But first, we need to talk about the British economy. 00:00:39.040 - 00:00:41.600
Now, the Government has a plan to speed up business, 00:00:41.600 - 00:00:44.040
and it's something called HS2, a high-speed train line between 00:00:44.040 - 00:00:47.800
London and the North, and they say it's going to cost £56 billion. 00:00:47.800 - 00:00:52.000
But Chris Harris thinks he's got a better business plan. 00:00:52.000 - 00:00:55.400
Ladies and gentlemen, 00:00:58.760 - 00:00:59.960
the future of British business could just be the BMW M5. 00:00:59.960 - 00:01:05.800
At £90,000, it sounds expensive, 00:01:05.800 - 00:01:09.040
but for the price of HS2, 00:01:09.040 - 00:01:11.120
you could buy one of these with petrol money to spare 00:01:11.120 - 00:01:15.160
for the entire population of Manchester. 00:01:15.160 - 00:01:18.400
That'll speed up business between London and the North. 00:01:20.920 - 00:01:24.480
Because this is an M5 with a 4.4 litre twin turbo V8 00:01:25.920 - 00:01:30.400
with just about 600hp. 00:01:30.400 - 00:01:33.480
And that means it's really very fast... 00:01:33.480 - 00:01:36.320
