Bugatti Veyron Supersports: Fastest Production Car?

Top Gear took it to its top speed. Or what they thought was its top speed. Then they took it around their infamous track. Did it take pole position on the leader board? Click above to find out.

Jeremy Clarkson Shows Us Why Three-Wheeled Cars Don’t Work

If you’ve ever been to Europe, you’ve likely noticed that the type of cars they drive over there are awesome. Sometimes, though, they come up with some pretty crazy ideas. Case in point, the Reliant Robin – a three wheeled car.

What is the point of a three wheeled car you might ask? Well apparently in Britain, if you purchased a three wheeled car back in the day, you got a 55 pound tax credit. Yeah, that’s pretty much it.

As you’d imagine, and as Jeremy hilariously shows us, three wheeled cars don’t exactly work. Yet shockingly, there seems to be quite  a following for them even today.

Check out Jeremy’s antics in the video above. Part two is after the jump.

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

That’s right, the best car show ever made is indeed making another go at it for season 15! The awesomeness starts next week, June 27th. Make sure to set your VCR’s Tivo’s. Do people still use Tivo? Last I heard sales were tanking. Whatever, just catch Top Gear online, that’s what I do.

The first episode is reportedly going to feature Jezza exploring what happened to three wheeled cars, Captain Slow tries to not be killed by a volcano and Hamster gets in the driver’s seat of a Chevrolet Lacetti. Top Gear just isn’t Top gear without the Stig, so expect him to be testing the Bentley Continental Supersports as it tries to take the podium around Top Gear’s test track.

I broke news that the blokes were out on one of their challenges (which, by the way, went viral for a few days – thanks Autoblog!) in what looked to be homemade unusual vehicles. Expect to see that episode this season as well.

Can’t wait!

Best Reaction Ever

If I ever saw Top Gear filming or any of the three blokes in person I would likely be very excited. The excitement of some British parents who drove by Top Gear filming had no bounds, however.

James, Richard and Jeremy, apparently on one of their wacky challenges, were spotted driving down a British road in what can only be described as unusual and not immediately identifiable vehicles – likely ones they built themselves.

The British couple filmed it and showed it to their son knowing how much of a fan he was of the show. Whether he was just excited as his parents were no one knows, but regardless he likely felt pretty embarrassed by his parents reaction. I just find it hilarious.

In any event, good to see the boys aren’t lacking in ideas for season 15 (which is rumoured to start this June!)

Top Gear Returns For Another Season!

The best car show ever made will indeed be making another go at ridculous challenges, Stig laced drives around the track, stars in reasonably priced cars along those lovable hosts Jezza (Jeremy Clarkson), Hamster (Richard Hammond) and Captain Slow (James May).

The end of the show has been speculated for a while now especially since, according to Jeremy, the series finale will be nothing spectacular – it will likely end the way every show ends: “thanks for watching, and goodnight”. This has made every petrolhead dread the last episode of each season because it could very well be the last ever and we wouldn’t even know it.

Season 15 will go on though, and there have already been reports of the three blokes being spotted filming next to an errupting volcano. The crazy ideas never stop at the Top Gear headquaters.

Expect the excitement to start in June!

BMW M3 vs. Lexus IS-F

After just writing the post below, we thought we would share this with you…. in case there was ever any doubt in your mind as to who is still king.

(Oh, and Jeremy Clarkson for President of the World)
