Top Gear

It’s the battle of The Big 3 as the guys compete over which is the best new police car to replace the Crown Vic in a series of madcap challenges around Detroit, Michigan. The winner gets to race the fastest police car in the country – the Corvette ZO6 - in an action film-style chase through the docks of Long Beach as he tries to catch a ‘perp’ wheeling the ultimate escape vehicle.

Small cars work in the rest of the world - but will they ever work in the U.S.? The guys try to answer that question in Louisiana, where they go from the narrow city streets of New Orleans to deep inside Cajun Country. There, they'll have to hunt and survive alongside the locals - and whoever does worst must endure visiting their hometown in the world’s smallest car.

Could you own a classic car and not know it? The guys each get a car they think is seriously undervalued and set out to rehabilitate its image before creating a live commercial in San Diego - and attempting to sell their cars for a profit. The losers have to entertain two celebrities in a race with twice the car and half the horsepower they were promised.

How far can you get on one tank of gas? They guys find out as they race from Portland, Oregon to San Francisco with their fuel doors sealed. The winner gets the chance to drive the toughest off-road machine in the world in a high-octane race in the remote Colorado mountains.

The guys head to rural California to lend a farming hand in three of the biggest tractors on the market. It quickly descends into chaos as they try to transport livestock, move heavy equipment and complete farm chores. We then review the crushingly fast Lamborghini Aventador - and see how its claims stack up in a race against a crop dusting plane.

Do you really need an expensive 4x4 to tackle one of the toughest off road trails in the country? The guys don’t think so, and to prove their point choose three cars that can be found in any rental fleet in the US and attempt to complete the epic journey from Monument Valley to Moab, Utah.
