Ah, the Top Gear Power Lap. Of all the arbitrary measurements of a car’s worth, it is perhaps our favorite. It’s been a damn long time since the Gumpert Apollo waltzed up and bitch-slapped the course with a blistering 1.17.1 time, and to fire off the show’s newest season, Michael Schumacher showed up in Stig [...]
How’s this for an eyebrow-raising image? The good Fiends over at Top Gear America, have taken our favorite can’t-have (the Ford Focus RS) in all of its front-drive, 300-horse goodness and pitted the car against the mighty Ford GT. It’s a Blue Oval shoot out in the mountains above Monaco. Placed your bets? Let me [...]
Sometimes it’s hard not to hate the boys at Top Gear. It’s like they sneak around at night, plucking ideas from our wildest automotive dreams to employ in the next episode. Take the quick clip after the jump, for instance. In it, Captain Slow goes head to head against the Stig in a drag race. [...]

Well, it finally happened. The Stig got his inhuman paws on one of the fastest vehicles on the planet — the Bugatti Veyron. The big Bug made some serious speed around the Top Gear test track, but was it fast enough to take the crown? Could it topple the likes of the Gumpert Apollo or [...]
Imagine a world where an entire island is dedicated to the breeding of more Jeremy Clarksons. No, we’re not talking about England. Jokesters Harry and Paul have done up a sketch ripping on our favorite Top Gear UK host, complete with a sheep Clarkson herding Stig. Our favorite line? “You have to clip them twice [...]
[Update: They're live. As of now. Right, Now] Yeah, that’s Short Stig Richard Hammond leaning on a Bugatti Veyron. Will you find that image on TopGear.com? Who knows, but in less than 24 hours, there will be a new TopGear.com, though we have no idea if you’ll find this image there, either. However, according to [...]
Bad news for productivity everywhere: Top Gear just launched its own YouTube channel, complete with 30 brand new clips. The crazy Brits who have done everything from race aquatic cars to fighter jets are now available, even if you’re a dirty Yank like us. We just blew eight minutes watching the boys race a diesel [...]
If you live in London you’re in for a treat. The annual MPH Prestige & Performance Motor Show will take place in London’s Earls Court from October 30 to November 2 (and if you live in Birmingham, November 13-16 at the NEC). If you don’t know, the MPH is a combination of huge-ass car show, [...]
Since like everyone else in Hollywood, I’m actually an actor and this auto blogging thing is just something to tide me over until my next big movie, I was checking upcoming casting calls between my food service pro work and came across this and thought it would be of interest. It appears that Top Gear [...]
We brought you Top Gear’s epic race between Japan’s flawless mass transit system and Nissan’s newest incarnation of Godzilla. If you’re anything like us, you were probably somewhat stunned to hear Clarkson bemoan the car’s performance, but that was jaunting through the island country side, suffering Nissan factory speed restriction (110 mph) the entire way.
