Yes, that's a Focus ST getting intimate with a Jaguar XK-R... and yes, that's the XK-R's wing mirror flying off.

Whaaaat!? Did these really come from a TG trailer? I know there was some movie that was supposed to feature the ST.

The ST looks absolutely mean in black... On another note, wasn't that episode incredible??? I thought they were going downhill after that India special...

I thought the part of the preview where Chinese Stig jumps through the door was pretty funny. He should be in next week's episode and Hammond is going to be in Texas.

Hammond in Texas? That's wrong on every level.

I figured it had to do with their NASCAR snippet.

And guess what, it is (LINK):

Quote:
2/7. Jeremy Clarkson and James May travel to Beijing to learn about China's car industry, which has seen great expansion in recent years - but also have a violent encounter with one of the Stig's cousins. Meanwhile, Richard Hammond immerses himself in the world of Nascar at a race in Texas, and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster is wrestled around the test track, emitting serious amounts of noise and smoke in the process. Matt LeBlanc is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

There's a shot of Ray Winstone and Ben Drew in the preview. At first, it didn't clue in, but I recognized Winstone from a previous TG episode (Season 8, Episode 8).

A blog about Ben Drew (a.k.a. Plan B) posted a picture essentially confirming it.
