Good news for all those across the pond! After series two of Top Gear USA was seen by almost 60 million viewers, the History Channel have announced that series three is on the way…
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.

A mysterious celebrity with a taste for open-topped supercars sends Adam, Rut and Tanner on a quest to hand select the ideal machine for speed and sun.
