The 20th series of the world's most popular car show sees Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May in typically explosive form. In the course of six packed-programs, they set out to race a car against an America's Cup yacht up the coast of New Zealand, launch a highly scientific process to find the world's fastest taxi, and do their bit for European economic turmoil by blasting across Spain in three "affordable" supercars. Also in this series, Top Gear tackles the growing problem of flooding by designing a car that can turn into a hovercraft, investigates the popularity of "soft-roader" cars by making the presenters into caravan enthusiasts, and tests the Jaguar F-type, the Range Rover Sport, and the new double decker Bus For London as part of an epic celebration of the many brilliant machines currently made in Britain. There are also track tests of the BAC Mono, Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTI, Renaultsport Clio 200, and Mercedes SLS Black, and the show welcomes a brand new Reasonably Priced Car in which celebrity guests will perform their fast laps.
