| 13x01 - Episode 1: | | Top Gear skids, roars and explodes its way back on to the TV with a brand new series.
It starts with an extraordinary race as Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May set out to discover what Top Gear might have been like 60 years ago. To this end, James grabs himself a gorgeous old Jaguar XK120 sports car while Richard chooses to torture himself on the brutal but rather fantastically named Vincent Black Shadow motorbike. Meanwhile, in an almost unprecedented move, Jeremy decides to take [...] (More) |
| 13x02 - Episode 2: | | Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to find the perfect car for 17-year-olds, negotiating insurance companies, accident repairs and a very muddy music festival car park in the process.
Plus, Richard goes to Abu Dhabi to test the new Lamborghini Murcielago SV and stages the world's first ever race between the 1000 horsepower Bugatti Veyron and the mighty McLaren F1.

| 13x03 - Episode 3: | | Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May confront the credit crunch head on as they attempt to find three sensibly priced small cars that won't make you miserable, a process that involves haranguing bankers, harnessing large dogs, and almost getting arrested.

| 13x04 - Episode 4: | | Jeremy Clarkson gets chased by the British Army in some of their latest and most deadly toys.

Plus, Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter Usain Bolt is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. |
| 13x05 - Episode 5: | | Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May seek petrolhead heaven in three 1500 pound rear-wheel drive coupes and somehow find themselves entered in a terrifying French ice race.

| 13x06 - Episode 6: | | Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May immerse themselves in the world of classic cars to find out if they really are, as the anoraks claim, more fun than modern machinery. Armed with a budget of 3,000 pounds each, they attempt to buy a pre-1982 car at auction. Rather than undertaking a series of challenges to see who has got the best deal, the trio are sent off to Majorca to take part in one very big challenge - a seemingly unfathomable classic car rally.
Also in the show, Jeremy drives [...] (More) |
| 13x07 - Episode 7: | | Jeremy Clarkson and James May unleash the fateful Top Gear mantra 'How hard can it be?' on car adverts as they are set the task of creating a memorable TV ad for Volkswagen.
