Tonight"s episode of Top Gear sees the debut of a groundbreaking new feature: a portal to a parallel dimension, installed conveniently on our Dunsfold test track, just to the left of Hammerhead.Matt LeBlanc is the first to try it out in the new Aston Martin DB11, where he"s transported to, um, Montenegro, to be chased down by a villainous Chris Harris in an even more villainous Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. Yeah, it all gets a bit Bond for this.Elsewhere, Rory Reid takes to the N rburgring to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Golf GTI reaching Britain. Yep, 40 years since the first ever GTI-badged Golf landed on our shores. But is the new Clubsport S less a hot hatch, and more a two-seat supercar in disguise? Rory brings along someone who knows a thing or two about the N rburgring, Sabine SchmitzThere"s also the small matter of Matt driving the original, classic, and rather gorgeous Fiat 124 Spider. Can the new Abarth 124 keep the original"s spirit alive?This week"s Star in a Reasonably Fast Car is Tamsin Greig, star of Friday Night Dinner and Episodes. Tune in 8pm, Sunday 19 March on BBC Two and BBC Two HD (for UK viewers), followed by Extra Gear on BBC Three at 9pm.
