Top Gear America - Movie Magic

The second episode of BBC America's Top Gear America celebrates the coolest cars featured in the coolest films in history.


William Fichtner, being an actor, got a chance to try out a legendary Mustang 390 GT, the iconic muscle car Steve McQueen drove in a San Francisco car chase in the film Bullitt.

Later, Antron Brown drives an open-top exotic that makes it the ideal dream car and has the appeals of a movie star; a brand-new Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, while getting filmed by some cameramen, including Wookie himself, using cutting-edge camera arms mounted to the top. When handed to The Stig, he lapped the Huracan round SpeedVegas in 1:10.47.

Then, Bill's back to sample the car that defined America in the 1950's, a 1995 Cadillac convertible.

Ryan Eggold from the hit NBC series, The Blacklist, is this week's celebrity guest and he did it in 1:32.94.

And then, the episode ends with the boys having a little crack of stunt driving at a certain movie set.
