The boys are back. And they’ve found some new toys. Get ready for a new series of more messing around as the famous trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May toy around with motors in some of the most surprising, hilarious and extraordinary scenarios imaginable!

Packed full of testosterone and madness, expect more reckless driving in six explosive episodes with Jeremy starting off the series celebrating the 50th birthday of the legendary Jaguar E-type, while Richard travels to South Africa to test a bigger, even more rugged alternative to the famous Hummer.

The producers also mix up the action and bring the crew to Italy for a series of tricky challenges and increasingly loud arguments. The craziness continues with an eventful train ride, Top Gear style while Jeremy and James embark on a trip to the British seaside in two new electric cars.

Also, don’t miss the full track tests of the incredible McLaren MP4-12C as it meets its deadliest supercar rival, the Ferrari 458 and witness the brand new Lamborghini Aventador flex its muscles on the track.

In this series, guest stars Alice Cooper, comedian Ross Noble, reigning Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel and Sir Bob Geldof race for the best times in the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment of Top Gear (series 17).
