Bill Fichtner remembers the moment with his 1966 Buick Special, Antron Brown with his Honda CT70 bike, and Tom "Wookie" Ford with the Series IIA Land Rover.
Looking into old cars, Tom checks out the best of AMG with the wideout Benz C126 coupe and later with the AMG 500TE estate.
Then, Bill and Tom are sampling the retro taste of electricity with the VW Splitty and Ferrari 308, both modified to run on electric motors. But since focus goes to the EV-upgraded Ferrari, they let The Stig drive both the normal, petrol-powered Ferrari 308 against the modified 308 with electric motors on. After lapping two identical Ferraris round the track, the normal 308 did it in 1:26.19 while the Electric GT did it in 1:16.43. It's a shocking revelation to see that an electric powered car can eat its normal equivalent on the track.
Magician Penn Jillette is the last guest of the season and he did it in 1:34.25.
Because this is the season finale, Wookie crashes through the Top Gear Test Track in the UK to dig more on AMGs and then tries out their latest offering, the Mercedes-AMG GT R and the GT C Roadster.
Man, what a ride it was for the first-ever Top Gear America. Going on a Baja with the buggy, doing stunts, camping, going drag racing, recreating the first NASCAR race in history, offroading, the list goes on and on, not to mention driving some of the best cars and inviting America's best celebrities. This newly-revived American version of Top Gear is everything you need to pass the time before the real Top Gear returns soon.
Well, now that the first season's wrapped up, we're back for the waiting game until its rival motoring show popped up in the autumn and we are in a tough battle before the original shows up. Until then, thanks for watching Top Gear America and see you next trip!
