Americans! It’s been five months since your favourite loud mouth, car dork and wheelman have graced screens with a new show. The dry spell is over: The first of this season’s 16 episodes comes your way this Tuesday, August 14 at 9/8C.
They may well be busy filming series three RIGHT NOW in America (more on that later), but we’ve still got some catching up to do with Top Gear USA here in the UK.
Limousines were once associated with elegant arrivals and well-dressed clientele; now they usually carry sloppy-drunk teenagers and winners of radio contests. The hosts of Top Gear USA want to make limousines special again and think they can do better than the ubiquitous stretch Lincoln or lumbering Hummer. To prove the quality of their limousines, Adam, […]
This weekend sees the final show of the first 10 episode run of Top Gear US, and to mark the occasion James has paid tribute in his weekly Telegraph column. And one must look past the headline. In his regular spot, he laid forth his theory on why Top Gear US will, one day, take […]
As Britain continues to disappear under what appears to be a massive Britain-shaped iceberg lowered from the sky with unerring accuracy, we’ve been eyeing the balmy footage from California-based Top Gear USA with some envy this week. For episode five, Tanner, Adam and Rutledge head to Detroit to choose their favorite old GM cars and […]
Our American brethren kick onto show number four this Sunday on History, and this week sees the first (but surely not last) appearance from a gigantic pick-up truck.
The boys are well underway now and this next episode is, if we say so ourselves, our favourite so far (apologies for the rogue ‘u’ there, Americans, but at the British Broadcasting Corporation we have strict standards to keep).
Well, the tables are truly turned. This Sunday night after dinner, everyone in Britain is going to be tuning into something vaguely disappointing on TV, possibly involving period costume. Something, basically, that isn’t Top Gear.

TopGear.commers with children under the age of ten will already understand this headline (and probably have the theme tune aurally tattooed on their lower cortex). For the rest of you, welcome to the world of Phineas Flynn, English stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, and bossy sister Candace, three cartoon characters who can never agree, and repeatedly hatch […]
So, Tuesday saw a dramatic end to a long, but fun season three of Top Gear USA. TG.com had a chat with the hosts to find out which moments of the season were tops – and which sent them into therapy…
If you want to find the most extreme winter off-roading on the planet, set your compass for Iceland, located in the middle of the freezing, seething North Atlantic. In Iceland, glacial ice does battle with volcanic magma, and the locals have evolved extreme vehicles to conquer these torturous conditions. American trucks once ruled supreme in […]
While Hollywood has convinced the world that most Americans live a short walk from warm California beaches, Yanks spend much of the year quite literally freezing. Snow falls in all 50 states, and slick roads mean treacherous driving. Equipping your car with proper winter tires, a stronger battery, etc. can run upwards of $2K. Instead, […]
