Top Gear Season 12 Episode 5

Top Gear

Sunday night is the night everybody is looking forward to! Yesterday the 5th episode of this seasons Top Gear shows you a comparision between very popular BMW E92 M3 in it’s sedan shape and what can be called the most stunning Lexus ever, the IS F. We can understand that for some of us this is a very hard task to make a choice between these two. Jeremy Clarkson is testing them both and drifting them around the circuit while the Stig tries to set lap records in both cars.

Next to that there’s also a race between Richard Hammond and James May aka “captain slow”. Their little race isn’t just a normal one, it goes between the Ferrari Daytona (celebrating it’s 40th anniversary) and a powerboat.

Last be not least you’ll see Richard Hammond doing a test to find out which is the best bus for the cities in Great-Brittain. Download the fifth Top Gear episode here or visit the official Top Gear website at BBC.co.uk/topgear.

Top Gear Season 12 Episode 4

Top Gear

Sunday night again! In the 4th episode of this season Top Gear brings two of the fastest and most expensive cars in the world to the Top Gear test track for Jeremy Clarkson Richard Hammond James May aka Captain Slow to test. After a couple effortless attempts at drifting the Pagani Zonda F Roadster around the track, May decides to have a little dragrace with the other supercar that is handed over to him at the Top Gear track. The Bugatti Veyron makes it’s first appearance on the track and later in the episode it’s driven around the track properly by the Stig. Meanwhile May, Hammond and Clarkson set out on a Eco challenge across Europe. To please the environmentalist they try and get from Basel (Switzerland) to Blackpool in the UK with only one tank of petrol.

This time they didn’t have a tight budget but any production car was allowed. James showed up in a Subaru Legacy Diesel, Jeremy picked a twin-turbo Jaguar XJ and Hammond arrived at the start in a BlueMotion Volkswagen Polo. As far as Top Gear races go this must have been the dullest to date up until the point where the cars are about to run out of fuel with the finish line in sight. Everybody who has ever run out of petrol, and I must admit I have as well, knows that the last few miles give a huge adrenaline rush over wheter or not you will make it to the next petrolstation. You’ll have to see for yourself who won!

Top Gear Season 10

Top Gear is back with their 10th season and unlike many other tvshows it’s still getting better. The third episode of the season that aired tonight had a little preview of the new super exclusive Lamborghini that is definatly worth watching for most of our readers: Top Gear showed the new Lamborghini Reventón which was unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motorshow last month.

At first the Reventón looked more like a spaced-out LP640 then the ultimate Lamborghini we had been waiting for considering the 1 million euro pricetag, but at second sight we must admit it must be every carfan’s wishlist-number-one this christmas! Not convinced yet? Read this article on the Top Gear website!

And even when you still don’t like the Lamborghini Reventón there’s enough reason to watch: Rolls Royce Drophead, 599 GTB and a Bugatti Veyron all appear on this episode!
