Top Gear isn’t exactly a hard sell to those who car anything about our four wheeled guilty pleasures. Throw in some light comedy, some celeb car laps and some madcap moments and it makes for a show that the whole family can enjoy. We’re now up to series 19 and it seems to be, for […]
Jaguar Director of Design Ian Callum has been named one of TopGear magazine’s Men of the Year 2012, selected by its awards judging panel for “designing beautiful cars, again and again”. The accolade adds to Callum’s international success this year, following the worldwide acclaim for his design of the new Jaguar F-TYPE two-seater sports car, […]
This is arguably one of my favourite Top Gear videos of all time. Hammond, May and Clarkson take on the might of the Imola circuit in three very different supercars. All in an attempt to beat a particularly quick lap time set down by the one and only Stig. Does anyone manage it? Will Hammond […]
One of my favourite cars of all time is the Koenigsegg Agera. It is a simply terrifying mix of immense power, rear drive and very little in the way of ‘oh yes I’ll save you’ electronic driver aids. It is a car that could even put hairs on the chest of a silverback gorilla, should […]
Some videos should not be missed – and this is one of those! Top Gear magazine takes on one of the best looking cars ever made, the Aston Martin One-77. Being one of the rarest and hottest hypercars on the planet means that this lucky test driver seems to have all the luck. It would […]
In case you missed the earlier announcements (both on this site and others), Top Gear Live 2012 is coming very soon – in fact it is running from 25th to 28th October 2012 at the Birmingham NEC. Clarkson, Hammond, May and The Stig will all be there in person (though who the latest variant of […]
Some things in life do not come as a surprise – and for me at least the fact that Jeremy Clarkson is at the top of the BBC pay scale is one of those facts. Simply put, Top Gear is a show and format familiar quite literally around the world, and I say that in […]
One of the reasons why I love Top Gear is that the lads are always pushing the envelope – whether with risque humour, fist clenching races or amazing stunts. This video is of the latter – a buggy takes on two full 360 loops one after the other. The course, labelled Deadly 720, is a […]
Some cars are apparently special even before they are seen in pictures. The Pagani Huayra (the replacement for the absolutely mental Zonda) is just such a car. It’s not just a vehicle with four wheels, it is an engineering, automotive, artistic special event. Top Gear have been lucky enough to sit in the Huayra as […]
This review is fairly recent from the Top Gear archives. The lads compare two extremely quick and pretty hefty vehicles – namely the BMW 760Li and Mercedes S63 AMG. Both are essentially limousines, however May shows that just because you are likely to be sitting in the back it doesn’t mean that the experience has […]
