Top Gear S19E03

Jeremy’s Car of the Year: Toyota GT86 You thought Jeremy would immediately pick the most expensive or most powerful car here, didn’t you? Well, he didn’t… he picked one of the cheapest and least powerful. But he had his reasons. The Toyota GT86 is a new way of looking at an old problem: how to have fun in a reasonably priced car. Now, TG has a long association with cheap thrills, but the GT86 tries very hard to re-educate a generation of hot-hatch motorists on the joys of rear-wheel drive. And it succeeds, by being exciting, relatively cheap and accessible to mere mortals. It’s good, people. Be excited. “I like the GT86 because it’s come barrelling into the bottom end of the marketplace with a big dirty smile on its face and a suggestion in the way it stands that it wants to have fun with your middle parts. It’s a car designed for one thing only: fun.” See video of Jezza in the GT86 at TopGear.com
Toyota 86 and Jeremy Clarkson


So, Top Gear Series 19 Episode 3 aired on BBC Two and this was an epic race between the 2013 Shelby GT500 against public transport heading from Wembley to the San Siro Stadium at Milan, Italy. Jeremy Clarkson's in the 2013 GT500 while Richard and James are taking public transport.

In the end though, this was a shocking moment because...well, we're not gonna say this but...Jeremy lost the race. Yep, Jeremy and the GT500 lost the race...beaten by public transport. It's a first ever reversal on Top Gear history. It seems that public transportation got the best of him. LOSER!

Anyway, despite the loss, we're very delighted to see a Scottish songbird, Amy MacDonald, guested as STAR IN A REASONABLY PRICED CAR. She's one of the quickest female celebs on the track, recording a lap time of 1:44.4 round the Top Gear Test Track.

To top it all up, Jeremy Clarkson tries out the TOYOTA 86 round the track. It's more fun to see him reading a book while drifting the 86! When handed to The Stig, the TOYOTA 86 set a lap time of 1:31.3 round the Top Gear Track.
