From the visual cues (three cars barreling down a heat-hazed track and blowing by a stationary camera) to the tongue-in-cheek lead-in (a matador squaring off with a Lamborghini, whose mascot is the bull) to the general concept (pitting three Lambos against one another in a rubber-burning match), the clip is everything we want to see from a TV show bearing the "Top Gear" logo on this side of the pond.

Except for the hosts' banter. Sorry, boys, but your dry British wit still needs some work.
