This Mercedes Land Rover Is The Grand Tour's Craziest Creation Yet

Merging the Land Rover with a a sleek 1980's Mercedes SL, the result was spectacular, but probably blasphemous to fans of the classic convertible. As Clarkson describes it, 'The Excellent' is derived from "the internal organs from a Land Rover discovery mated to the beautiful skin of a glamorous Mercedes SL." In all honesty, this segment looked like it could have come out of old Top Gear. It was undeniably entertaining and, unlike themisguided environmental challenge没有逗留久s welcome. What it did lack, however, were some challenges.

The trio simply drove 'The Excellent' down a country road to attract some confused onlookers, beforeshowing it off to some footballersand attempting to sell it at an auction. Suffice to say, The Excellent didn't attract much attention at the auction and failed to meet its reserve price of 100,000 GBP (around $120,000). Give it a few years, and The Excellent will no doubt be an easier sell based on its fame from the show. With only three episodes remaining in the first series of The Grand Tour, who knows what they'll come up with next.
