BBC's Top Gear has returned for their explosive 25th season in the season opener, the boys are paying tribute to the legendary V8 engine that has been the staple of every sports car for over a century.

Top Gear S25E01

Rory Reid drives the Jaguar F-Type SVR, Chris Harris drives the McLaren 570GT, and Matt LeBlanc drives a Ford Mustang GT350R...which is tuned by Hennessey Performance.

The trio and their V8s are setting off for a road trip across the United States beginning with a wild west drive-out, a hot pursuit with Ken Block hunting them, a drive round an oval track, a trip to the Salt Flats, a runway drag race, and it all leads with a showdown against a Ford GT40, with The Stig behind the wheel.

Behind their V8 road trip across America, Rob Brydon is this episode's Star in a Reasonably Fast Car and he set a lap time of 1:50.5 in the wet.
