⚠ Spoiler alert This recap gives away what happens in this episode.
Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The team has trouble deciding if the TVR 350C or the Noble is the best shed built supercar in the UK. Jeremy tests the new Phaeton, Volkswagen’s first high end luxury saloon. James May looks at the new Cadillac 16. Five disabled drivers compete to see which is the fastest. And we find out who is the series’ fastest celebrity guest star.
Our Take
A packed episode that spreads itself thin but mostly lands. The TVR versus Noble argument is classic bickering Clarkson and Hammond material, and the disabled drivers segment is genuinely good TV without getting sappy. The celebrity shootout payoff is a fun way to close the series, though the Phaeton and Cadillac bits feel like filler. Worth your time if you’ve been along for the ride.
