Top Gear scrapes sports car bellies in New York

It’s no surprise that the trio of Top Gear are seen filming some video in New York City. Everyone knows where the blasted trio goes to, especially with the kind of horsepower that they pack. The video that was being shot will feature Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond gallivanting around New York City in the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the Ferrari 458, and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

You won’t really enjoy the clip for its being mundane. In fact, you might get horrified during the last minute, where the trio of BBC boys come face to face with a broken section of road and have to drive up and over a raised surface. Ouch! Oh well, if they could afford to drive these cars, then they can definitely pay for any damage that the cars sustain while under their able hands.

Seriously, what kind of driver would actually force a really low Porsche up a really high curb? It’s no different from having an object with high velocity coming into contact with a wall. Bad things are bound to happen. This despite 100-pound Hammond being behind the Porsche’s controls. What more if Clarkson were manning the Porsche’s helm?

Insider Cam: Top Gear puts Camaro and E63 AMG in blood fest

You know how the boys at Top Gear are. They’re despicably adventurous when it comes to road and track-testing cars. They’re also crazy enough to pit cars that are of totally different segments, just for the fun of it. To refresh your memory, these guys had paired a Ford Fiesta and a Chevrolet Corvette against one another, AND tried running a Jaguar XK120 alongside a Vincent Black Shadow plus a train.

Seriously. So if you take their results in confidence, then you’re probably as terminally crazy as they are. And if there’s anything this show is all about, it’s fun, fun and more fun with cars.

In their latest video, they put the Chevrolet Camaro up against a very unlikely foe—the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Granted, both cars have a similarly displaced 6.2-liter V8 engine, but engine specs can be deceiving on paper. Still, you have to admit it’s very entertaining to see The Stig hoon the Benz around Top Gear’s air strip test track in an attempt to par with the Camaro.

Oh, what the heck!? If you’re into vuvuzela, then you might enjoy watching this video with The Stig jabbing the German luxury car’s throttle. And if there’s anything in this video that’s worth watching, it’s seeing the Benz hooning around a track like it isn’t supposed to. Enjoy, people.

Top Gear: Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series


In the second episode of the newest Top Gear season, Jeremy Clarkson takes the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series for a spin. If you watch enough Top Gear, you are probably aware of Jeremy’s sarcastic and sometimes even hurtful [towards the cars] comments, but in this review, he was as serious as he probably will ever be. One reason might have been how awestruck Jeremy was while reviewing the Black Series beast. Enjoy!

TopGear: Supercar Fuel Economy Comparison Test


Top Gear is back again, and the 11th season is looking good. In their first episode, they decided to help folks out and do a fuel economy test. Well if you know Top Gear, you’ll know that this is no ordinary economy test. They put five supercars on the race track to see who can go further on 1 gallon of fuel. The cars: Lamborghini Murcielago, Audi R8, Mercedes McLaren SLR, Aston Martin DBS, and the Ferrari 599GTB
