Top Gear USA Show Follow Up: Adam’s brain swims with GT40s, contact sports and dead squid

Despite being a clearly G-rated trip into Adam’s head, the hour nonetheless produced smiles – A real Ford GT40, a GT40 you can actually beat on, American football made interesting, and innovations to deal with crap drivers most of us would actually like to use. If you could arm your car with just one device, […]

Top Gear USA is hijacked by Adam

Last season, Rutledge held the reins for an episode of Top Gear, during which we learned about tiny cars and how to crash a $100K race truck. This season, Adam finagles an hour to share the things he loves most – exquisite Anglo/American iron, football and road rage. Adam drives the dream car of his […]

Andy Wilman on the Africa special (plus your post-show discussion)

A brief silence has descended on the Top Gear edit suite. On Friday night the last bits of the sound mix were completed, grading was tweaked, a shot was shortened here and there, the traditional spilling of a bit of takeaway fried rice into a control panel occurred, and then the Africa Special was bundled […]

Behind the scenes with James McAvoy

Scorching laps and enormous orange beards deserve tasty heavy metal soundtracks. Which is why we’ve set our bonus footage of James McAvoy’s rather impressive run round Dunsfold to the delightful ‘Macbeth’, from Hell’s seminal album ‘Human Remains’, in tribute to his current role in London’s glittering West End. His tyre-melting lap’s even more impressive considering […]

Top Gear USA taxi challenge

Top Gear USA fights for fares in homebuilt taxis – and drives the McLaren MP4-12C

A recent survey ranks taxi driving as one of the worst professions. This could be the long, hard hours and relative danger. Or the simple fact that most of them have to drive a Prius. Either way, it’s an arena that’s ripe for innovation… The hosts of Top Gear wonder if the answer lies in […]

Keen YouTubers, newspaper readers, magazine buyers, and website users may well have noticed this video from our friends at Top Gear Korea this week – it involves a slight incident with a Cobra AH-1 helicopter and a Corvette ZR-1, the former crashing quite spectacularly while racing the latter… A frankly incredible 13 million people have […]

OAP transport, the new Range Rover and James McAvoy: post-show discussion

Well, there you have it. Transport for OAPs has now been solved (although we’ll have to build another prototype, obviously), the new Range Rover is rather excellent, and James McAvoy proves that even a one-time Nissan Micra owner can post a decent time around our track.
