Well, there you have it. A successful end to our epic trip to Africa, and indeed the end of series 19 of Top Gear. Mr James May Esq will now go down in history (unlike those other two blokes): a fitting conclusion, we feel.
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 […]
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 […]
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.
There was an end-of-term feeling down at the Top Gear track this week, as we finished our last filming day at the studio for series nineteen before we head to Africa for our two-part special.
At ten years old he was a British karting Champion, at 13 he was signed up to McLaren’s young driver program, and in 2008 he was the youngest ever F1 world Champion at just 23 years old (though he was knocked off the top spot by a young German called Sebastian in 2010). But these […]
Well, there you have it for another week. Many famous people thoroughly approve of the new Kia C-Apostophe-D, Lewis Hamilton reigns over all in a Suzuki Liana, Richard has finally driven the Mastretta, and it turns out fast Vauxhalls aren’t that bad after all…
We take you back to the glamorous Top Gear production office this week TopGear.commers, for another exclusive glimpse at what we’ve got coming up on the fourth show of our new series.

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, […]
