Season 16

Season 16 features a race between the Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet and the greatest force in the universe - gravity! Richard Hammond travels to South Africa to find out if the Porsche can cover a standing mile before a VW Beetle dropped from a mile up in the air hits the ground. Jeremy Clarkson pits the Jaguar XJ against the speed of the sun in an overnight race from Land's End to Folkestone and James May has no choice but to become Captain Fast when he takes to the track in the new Ariel Atom V8. The boys all head to Albania to test three luxury cars - the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Mercedes S65 AMG and Bentley Mulsanne - but can they reach the border before the local police discover what they've got lurking in the boot?
