Default New series of Top Gear beckons!



Top Gear - new series exclusive - Top Gear


There's some good metal too - new Evo X against the Impreza, CLK Black and hopefully the Mazda Furai. Overall though, the other thing we're going to do is try and speed up a bit.


Looking forward to it

Lets hope they review a few more cars this series.

Think they need to go back to basics with the new series. Cars first, c0cking about second.

What TopGear has managed to do is get EVERYONE watching -- irrespective of whether they are into cars or want to buy a new one. Even my wife wants to watch. So I don't think they should change the formula.

I'm very happy it is going to come back.

This sounds good

The last time we did one was a couple of years ago, with the plane against the Veyron, and in hindsight we lost the plot in that one - too pompous, too overblown and preposterous, too much work on the scripting to make it funny. This one is back to basics, more hardcore, mega car, mega opponent, with a solid premise. And a clue for the geeks: we did it in Japan.

As a guess 1 normal veyron, 1 on ethanol as the CCX is claimed to produce tons more power on that as well, and a carbon veyron?

Whatever made you think it's a CCX? Apart from the fact it has a CCX badge clearly on display AND I've already mentioned it?

Me too but they're still preferable to Fifth Gear. There might be a lot of cocking about in TG but it is high quality cocking about
