Top Gear America (2017)

In the series premiere, hosts Bill, Wookie and Antron set out on a true bonding adventure in VW Bugs in Baja Mexico. The latest NSX is pushed to its limits by the Stig, and the Ford Raptor rips through the desert. MLB pitcher and now racing team owner and driver C.J. Wilson takes on the Top Gear track.

This week, the boys teach us a few tricks of the movie trade and learn the skills needed to become a successful 70’s stunt driver. Bill finds out what it was like to be Steve McQueen driving the iconic Mustang that starred in the greatest car chase of all time in the 1968 film, Bullitt. Stig tests the latest Lambo and Ryan Eggold (The Blacklist) acquaints himself with our new Top Gear track.

The great wide open is the American landscape. Pick your car, set out down the highway and find a path less traveled. Bill, Wookie and Antron choose campers with a $3k budget for this adventure - but will they make it home? Then, the Stig takes a minivan around the Top Gear track. Comedian Russell Peters pays us a visit and tackles the Top Gear track!

Antron puts Wookie through boot camp to learn what it takes to become a Top Fuel champion. Wookie also gets a ride-along in a police car and tests his freedom behind the wheel. The Cadillac CTS-V rips across the dry lake bed, and the Stig pushes it to its limits around the Top Gear track as Haley Joel Osment (Future Man, Silicon Valley) pays a visit.

Our boys hit a dirt oval track near the birth of NASCAR. Meanwhile, we test drive a tuner legend, the Skyline and Audi gives back to those who served. The Stig sets the track on fire in both the Skyline and Audi R8. Recording Artist Aaron Carter hits the stage, putting his charm and racing skills to the test.

Ride side-by-side with Antron, Bill and Wookie as they explore the latest craze in recreation vehicles, the UTV. We visit the East Side of LA to ask the question: “How low can you go?” and meet two characters who influenced the low riding movement. Bill sets sail in a F1-style auto made for one, the BAC Mono and recording Artist Chris Daughtry hits the track.

What sports car would you buy if you had $7k? Bill’s car was written in song, Antron unleashes the ponies and Wookie picks the less obvious example of the bunch. The Stig settles the score around the track with a proper head-to-head. Antron finds the perfect blend of utility, performance and styling, the Maserati Levante. Actor and Rapper Xzibit visits the studio and the track.

Our hosts revisit the past and share with us their first... love. Or do they? AMG turns 50 and we carve the canyons in AMG Classics and track their latest release. Ferrari gets a new heart, and it’s electric. Magician Penn Jillette tries his magic against the clock, and the Stig proves that going green can be faster.
