Top Gear

This video is about Top Gear

Le Mans? Not gruelling enough. Indy 500? Too slow. Monaco? No glamour. Forget them all - here are the three greatest races ever filmed. Somebody made the mistake of telling Jeremy that the car isn't a fast enough way to cover distance anymore. He took serious exception. He also took a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, a McLaren SLR and a Bugatti Veyron on three legendary transcontinental blasts to prove his point. The competition? Richard and James driving planes, trains and boats. And not having as much fun...

Highlights from series three through five of the popular motoring show, alongside out-takes and unbroadcast material. A preview disc, entitled "The Best Of Revved Up", was given away with Top Gear Magazine the previous month.

Welcome to Top Gear, The Best of the Specials. All the wildest, funniest, exciting-est bits from all the legendary Top Gear Specials, combined into one brilliant DVD. For over a decade, Top Gear’s road trips – and off-road trips – have tackled the biggest questions in motoring. Can cards set us free? Can they bring cultures together? And is it really a good idea to wear denim in tropical climates? So if you enjoy watching middle-aged men, sitting in cars, driving across interesting landscapes while wearing denim – and who doesn’t? – you’ve come to the right place. Pour yourself a pint of Horlicks, kick back, and enjoy the very best of the Top Gear Specials…

Richard Hammond celebrates 50 years of Bond's amazing history with cars revealing the entertaining behind-the-scenes stories of the most iconic cars.

In their not quite biggest adventures yet, the boys visit the good old US of A and former Eastern Bloc Albania for two action packed road trips. In America our trio, armed with the hottest new supercars - the Mercedes SLS, Ferrari 458 and the Porsche 911 GT3RS - head through NASCAR country and enjoy a dancing Mayor, a Stig on a drive by shooting range, and the white knuckle Virginia Raceway, with their adventure climaxing in a race across New York.

Hammond and May host a special episode featuring two films that had been completed prior to the dismissal of their absent colleague. In the first film, the pair and Clarkson each try to live as classic car enthusiasts with a particular classic car - Hammond picks a MGB GT, Clarkson chooses a Fiat 124 Sport Spider, and May drives a Peugeot 304 S Cabriolet - testing out their choices, before modifying and improving their cars, and competing against each other to see who's choice is the best. In the second film, the trio see which is the best second-hand 4x4 SUV on a budget of £250 - Clarkson pics a Vauxhall Frontera Sport RS, May chooses a Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin, and Hammond drives a Jeep Cherokee - facing a series of challenges that concludes with a race in which the loser must conduct an awkward after-dinner speech at their destination.

Some cars have a million horsepower, others have twinkly lights and big shiny wheels. But a rare few have something else; soul. It's found in funny places. In the crack of a rusty sill. Down the back of a torn seat next to an old Smartie. And if you're really lucky, it's found in a screaming V12 or perched on a ludicrous wing, or in the rooftop hinge of a gullwing door. These are the cars that make us happy, mad, insane and inevitably very poor. And no matter how much sense is drilled into our daft little heads, we'll continue to love then. So put your feet up, play this DVD and enjoy some of our favourites. It's a celebration of soul.

Allow us to present yet another challenges bonanza crammed with volcanoes, World speed records, flying caravans, unstable Reliant Robins, jaw dropping races and cars exploding all over the place. No other programme offers so much, for so little of your I.Q.

Fast and Furious is the third home video release of original-format Top Gear. Arriving in a classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL, Tiff Needell opens up with the statement that ever since man first jumped on a horse, they have wanted to go faster and faster. What follows is a compilation featuring supercars driven by him and fellow presenter Jeremy Clarkson from Series 32 through to Series 36 of the original version of Top Gear, including the McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, and TVR Griffith 500.

Races, chases and things on fire; treat yourself to a bucketload of Top Gear's attempts to get melted, hurt or drowned. To more cries of "How hard can it be?", "That’s not gone well" and "You insufferable Oaf!", Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May gallantly risk humiliation in another series of magnificent challenges, where petty rivalries are taken much too far…

The presenters travel to Australia's Northern Territory for a road trip across the outback in three GT cars. On their trip they deal with crocodile infested rivers (again), camp in the outback, and race through an open-pit mine before the journey culminates with a task to herd some four-thousand cows in one of the world's largest farms.

Jeremy, Richard and James embark on yet more ill-advised attempts to out-do each other in a stinky cloud of tyre smoke, rust and over-ambitious mucking about in Top Gear The Challenges 3.

Trains have a place in this world, but no on this DVD, thanks. 'Rockets' it is. Rockets are far more interesting than trains, anyway, especially when their boosters have Reliant Robins strapped to them. That's just one of three challenge films you'll enjoy on this free DVD. You'll also watch a Eurofighter Typhoon blast a mile straight up in a race against a Veyron, and see Jeremy hacking an Espace to bits with a buzz saw. Perfect.

Featuring Quentin Willson, Jeremy Clarkson, Vicki Butler-Henderson and Tiff Needell Fast and Furious 2 revisits the most extreme footage recorded from Series 39 through Series 42 of Old Top Gear.

Jeremy Clarkson and James May travel to the North of England to name and shame some of the worst cars in history, from manufacturers who "should have known better".

Top Gear Russia was a Russian motoring television series on Ren-TV, based on the British program Top Gear produced by the BBC. It premiered on 22 February 2009.

Material featuring 10 of the best car chases from the world of Hollywood movies. The film is narrated the Top Gear presenters.
