The Grand Tour S3E06

Today's episode of The Grand Tour goes to China as the boys are driving second-hand Western flagship saloons and see if they're as luxurious as an ultra-expensive Chinese-made flagship saloon.


On their Chinese escapades with second-hand flagship saloons, James May drives a V12-powered Mercedes-Benz S-Class while Richard Hammond drives a V8-powered Cadillac STS and Jeremy Clarkson drives a V12-powered BMW 7-Series. Setting off from the city of Chongqing, the gang spent the day with their second-hand flagships evading aerial flamethrowers, finding a functional service station, hiring chauffeurs to drive for them while trying out their backseat mods, and tackling an old, 24-curved road.

Meanwhile, Richard Hammond's at the Eboladrome, sampling China's electric supercar, the NIO EP9. When handed to Abbie Eaton, the NIO set a 1:15 lap time.

The "Chinese Food for Thought" episode is now playable at The Grand Tour Game on the PS4 and XBOX One. Relive the boys' Chinese road trip as well as Richard Hammond's endgame crash in a three-wheeled replacement car.
