Witness, for the first time anywhere on the internet (well, anywhere, actually) the latest of Jeremy’s explosive telly stunts.
These exclusive pictures give us a glimpse of what happened when Clarkson tried to settle one of the great mysteries of our time – who is the fastest off-roading celebrity?
It’s a feature for his new DVD Clarkson: Duel, which has already placed the Stig in Puerto Banus and forced JC to drive a Jag XKR in flippers.
This time, there’s more fire. The set-up starts with Jeremy, pop singer bloke Ronan Keating, newsreader Kate Silverton and rugby player Matt Dawson drawing straws for a selection of secondhand 4×4s, including a Mitsubishi Shogun and a bright orange Lada Niva.
Once the cars are allocated, they are rigged with explosives and a timed detonator, forcing each celebrity to lap an off-road course before the car explodes. They either cross the line, bail or get fried.
We can’t give away the result, but can show you these, er, explosive pictures of the Shogun during the timed run.
All will be revealed later this week in a TopGear.com-exclusive video preview of the DVD, which is pre-orderable now on Amazon.
The one clue we do have is a member of the film crew overhearing Jeremy saying ‘the only decent car here is that old Shogun’. Given Jeremy’s overwhelming desire to win any of the Top Gear challenges the boys do on the telly, we can bet it was him that went up in smoke…

Haha, looks awesome
peases put vid on website
lol obviously fake, although i’d love to see the headline in The Guardian, “Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson Killed Kate Silverston”
isnt there a defender there as well
let ronan keatering burn!
looks milairiose 7
Ha ha videos are needed!
I think the word “RC” was lost somewhere.
Jezza’s last words: “No! icam make it, ican win this” ‘BOOM’
…bored of TopGear spin off DVDs with a million explosions and no actual love of cars? No? Just me then.
You can trust the top gear team to be up to their usual tricks of crazy challenges that we all love. Wonder if top gear have ever tested a mcClaren F1 and if they have, what was it’s lap time? Look forward to the new series.
top gear is awesome, LOL im so awesome… i should be on top gear…
i wish i could be on topgear.
little bit over the top
Clarkson dvd? – usual explosions, usal predictable endings, usualcrap music, usual cars…zzzzzzzzzz Must be getting near Christmas.
TopGear should arrange trackdays. I bet they would get huge money from that. Every single dad in the UK would try to show their son that he’s “better” than the Stig
:D
No, J4KE, Jeremy’s last word was: POOOWWWWERR!!
i find that top gear is going overboard with explosions and crazy stunts… make it a show for car enthusiasts again not just a pointless, action filled, entertainment show!
i can’t wate
please put up the video.. a really neat comparo here!!!
Hope they didn’t blow up the Defender!
looks like total insanity!
this is the best explosion …………… in the world
i hope there is a Toyota Hilux in this or a Landcrusier
“pre-orderable”
Illiterate oaf.
Kill Kate? Clarkson would have a very high pitched voice after the savage removal of his balls
I wish I was there to take pics!! That explosion on is amazing!!!!!
I would go all arty-farty on you all, but I dont think you would care!
why the hell in this day and age i still can not watch the videos outside of the uk but i can get sky not leglly but can still get it.
it suck`s big time..
you can never get bored of TopGear i would love to go on the show to see how small hammond is
Fitting that Jeremy chose the Shogun, they are called Pajero in other parts of the world… which amusingly means, um, ’self abuser’ in Spanish.
I prefer watching Michael Schumacher as The Stig on Top Gear i find him awesome driving, i think he would put on a good show if Michael Schumacher was a stuntman.
hello, I´m Sergio Segura from Mexico City, is amazing how every day the number of mexican people are watching your show, i can tell you tha I have peterol in my veins, for me Top Gear in for sure the most creative car show, please consider to contact me in order to give you info of Mexican car heritage such as Carrera Panamericana and so..
thank so much
ssv
pls put sum vids
Yay!!!!! Such a laugh!!!!! By the way fry, hammond is 5ft 7inches. i got bored and googled it and compared loads of different results. LOL!!!!!!!
Clarkson has being doing these back then vhs now dvd ’s since 1995 and has released one every year since, watched a old one other day 1996 unleashed on cars and one of the funniest things was his hair lmfao sooo fuuunnyy!
Go on clarky w00t w00t to a dvd for 2009 i say, always entertaining even if not mostly about cars and just blowing things up who bloody cares hey……… out Nov 2nd
Yay another clarkson dvd to the collection got every 1 since 1995 lol.
Cant wait to the new series:D
I can’t believe a stunt this dangerous can be attempted within the United Kingdom. Someone could have got seriously killed or hurt. Hopefully it was Jeremy! He never cares for the wellbeing of the many celebrity guests that make his shows and DVD’s what they are.
I totally agree with Davida – what a smart and sensible man!
There’s a script to watch videos outside the UK.
Great for someone in America like me

“Sadly,I got killed in that blast……but now I’m better….” LOL
I wish the second part of your comment didnt exist
Too bad for you you “little” “hairy” rat!!!
My comment has nothing to do with the article to which it is appended. So, those expecting continuity are about to be disappointed. Nonetheless, it is, I believe, a relevant comment for those of us live who outside the UK and must, therefore, rely on the internet for our TopGear fix. For convenience sake, I have chosen a question-answer-reason format.
Question: when is TopGear like a cheap date with a tease?
Answer: When it promises more than it delivers.
Reason: A cheap date with a tease gets you all excited and stops the fun before you’re finished. TopGear gets you all excited about a video series … and then leaves one or more crucial clips “unavailable at the moment.”
Result: Frustration!!!!
In other words, please, Please, PLEASE let me see ALL of a series at one time. I will respect you in the morning. I will even be back to see more. I promise. I have to. I can’t see TopGear any other way than through your internet feeds. And the last thing I want when getting my TopGear fix is to be left wondering what happened next. …
